Thanks Chuck, appreciate you taking time to say hello

The darn budget complicates everything doesn't it.........you live in a pretty part of the world. Take a serious look at the top link, I wish I had several years earlier. Stay well.

Right on Western KY stay well my freind.

@@billburkhart you as well, Bill

Hello Ricky, merry Christmas stay healthy friend

Hi Houndsman....I used to travel to Raleigh and Greensboro a lot when I was in the furniture business. Always though I may retire there. Thanks for the full watch, I appreciate it! Stay well

Eric, you won't believe how it will put your implements on steroids.

@@billburkhart Probably won't believe what it'll set you back either. $$$$

@@johncampbell4382 John, I don’t think I have $300 in mine.

@@billburkhart I just contacted my John Deere dealer about setting up my tractor with the hydraulic top link. I already knew this was going to be a financial question mark before I called because I'm working with a brand new John Deere 1023E, 2021 model. In order to make it work I'll have to have a hydraulic control isolator kit installed since there are no rear hydraulic connections which will also have to be added and the only ones it has are for the bucket loader which I will surely need while tackling similar jobs here on the home place. My salesman is going to get back with me on a price later. Had I gotten this done to begin with it would have saved me a bunch of stopping and starting to get the desired angle effects that I had to do manually instead and a whole lot of pain. See, I'm permanently disabled. My back has no disk left between the vertebrae in my spine. As such just walking out to my tractor can be quite uncomfortable, to say nothing of hooking up implements and especially having to adjust and readjust the top link. However, I'm now able to accomplish things now that most people would take for granted thanks to the 120R bucket loader and the Frontier box scraper using a John Deere iMatch for implements. Things I could do before my back finally gave out to wear and tear with old age. The John Deere 1023E is fairly easy for me to mount and surprisingly comfortable to operate. Coming from someone who unfortunately can feel even an ant hill when traversing over it, that's saying a lot. My box scraper gets used a lot for all manner of things such as weed abatement in the high desert mountains where I live where wild fires are a serious concern. Believe it or not, yesterday I had a surprise with a water line break and found a geyser shooting up in the middle of my property. I simply shut the water off from the well, grabbed my tractor and proceeded to dig a hole right where the geyser was, found the water line, used some couplers and new PVC pipe, and it's fixed. Then I filled the hole back in using the bucket loader and box scraper. Looks sharp like new landscaping. There's no way I could have done that without my tractor and implements and finding someone to come out in an emergency since I don't have water for the interim would have been not only difficult, but expensive as well. Your video is quite an eye opener for the suffering I would not have had to go through to do a complete workover of my 1 and a quarter acres had I gotten a hydraulic top link sooner.

@@johncampbell4382 Hello John, you are truly an inspiration to me .....keep.....I have nothing but the best wishes for you

Hello Derek, thank you so much for subscribing I sure appreciate it. I’ll get your location on the map. Your going to love your new tractor and what it can do for you. Stay safe. -Bill

Hello Gary, I looked up your location on the map and remember Gander was a very critical location during the 911 shut down all aircraft, am I correct? Beautiful looking country you’re very fortunate to be living in such beautiful area of the world. Thank for saying hello. -Bill

@@billburkhart Hi Bill , yes i live in Grand Falls-Windsor , which is 90 kilometers from Gander. I did live in Gander for a while. Yes it beautiful here on the island. We hav very rocky soil here . Keep the videos coming. I will be watching more of them. I have been watching a lot of Tractor Time with Tim for some time Lord i love all the tractor videos 👍

@@billburkhart from looking at the pin map , I believe i will be the first Newfoundland-Labrador pin

@garypower9024 Gary by gosh I believe you’re correct, thank you!!

@@billburkhart Hi Bill . I may have confused you. Sorry. You were correct about Gander being the town where all of the flights landed during 911. The planes landed there and the passengers were taken care of by many communities around the Gander airport. Have a great day

Hello there! thanks for taking time to say hello. Snow is about gone here, looking forward to Spring weather.

Hello Curt, thank you for checking in from Saskatoon, awesome. Hope you find a good box blade. -Bill

Hello Doug, thanks for saying hello, I’ll put you on the map. Have a great summer.

Biff's Equipment Hello Biff, fall is my favorite season here. I just discovered I bent the top long during this video.......watch for that video soon. Stay well Biff.

Bill Burkhart that’s too bad I’m sorry that happened. Hopefully you’ll get her fixed back up in the next video! I have a hydraulic top link for my Kubota but I haven’t installed it yet because I’m waiting on my rear remotes.

Biff's Equipment What I learned from this accident was to just be careful how high you left the Rear implement. Otherwise you’re really gonna enjoy the power top link

@@billburkhart good to know, My grandfather bent his hydro top-link the same way. Also gotta watch how far you have your rams extended because at their full extension is when they are most venerable

Biff's Equipment Biff, do you know of any reason why I can’t reverse the installation of that top link and have the piston connected to the tractor pushing the base out towards the Impliment

Thanks for saying hello. Hope to visit your area some day

Hello Splash, thanks for taking time to say hello! I’ll put you on my world map.

Hi Trevor, thanks for checking in

HI Marc, I'll make sure your on the calendar.

Good morning Ricky, thanks for taking time to check in and say hello. Have a great upcoming weekend and stay in touch. -Bill

Hello Phillip, Thanks for checking in! I had to look your city up and was surprised to see your South of Baton Rouge where my niece lives with her family. Hope it cools down a bit for you soon! Stay well Phillip.

Dyann Evans Hello Ron. Thanks for checking in and letting me know your location. Take care stay well and keep on enjoying your tractors!

Big Five Tractor Works Sounds like you have some awesome equipment, stay safe down there.... hope it starts to cool down a bit for you soon

Hi Tom, i’ve planted a lot of lawns and I really have good luck with the pulverizer rollers and all. Thanks for the tip on how to dump the dirt from the box blade I will definitely try that out on the next project. Stay safe and healthy

Aaron. Thanks for the compliment buddy. !!!

Hello Tony! Fantastic to hear from you! I’ll put you on the viewers map. Thanks for taking time to check in I really appreciate it.- Bill

@@billburkhart ​ You have inspired me to start youtubing the work I'll be doing around my property over here... I have a lot of gorse I plan on attacking with a flail mower and try smooth out some areas with a box blade :)

@@tonym492 Tony I’m excited for your plans to start your You Tube channel! Be sure and let know when I can subscribe. Do it for the fun of making good videos to share your experience and share your area of the world. Don’t get hung up on the monetary side as it can be discouraging. Good luck let me know if I can be of assistance. - Bill

@@billburkhart Thanks Bill.. feel free to subscribe now as I already have heaps of videos of horse riding content Olof my Beautiful scenery :-)

Your very welcome Doyle, stay safe and healthy.

Graham Shea Hi Graham, as I understand the side link design would allow you to tilt the rear Impliment side to side, correct? sounds intriguing to me

@@billburkhart Yes Sir. It makes side to side tilt an adjustment without having to dismount and fuss with the screwrod to lengthen or shorten the horizontal link. Makes leveling and road grading an easier job.

Graham Shea Sounds useful !

Hello Lynn, I'll put you on the map. Snow is gone here, wishing you an early Spring.

Hello Tom. I’ll put you on the map. Thank you

Hi Mickey, dang it, wish I lived closer, Id' like to be part of that project. If I could only choose one implement for the project I'd choose the disc harrow. Do you get cold enough that the grounds freezes deep? If so, let the freeze thaw help you out after you disc it. Go slow, get a few passes in and over lap your work. I'll bet you end up with a nice pasture after that. Let me know what you choose. - Bill

@@billburkhart Thanks for the input. I suspected you would suggest the disc harrow. I know you chose the 4-footer but given the size of my project, I think I'll go with a 5-footer.

Box blade the rough grade and then hit it with a land plane and you will be surprised how good, even, flat, and smooth it gets ..... quickly.

Hello Daniel, thanks for your advice I’ll try it out in the next job....appreciate it. Stay healthy

Hi Andrew. I’ll try your tip next time I’m out with the Box blade.... thanks a lot. Have a good weekend.

@@billburkhart, you can or should be able to do the same spreading trick by retracting the top link. Play with the different angles the hydraulic top link can provide. Just be careful not to fully extend the cylinder and push backwards extremely hard. That is a good way to bend the rod.

Bill, in jobs like this, you could set the scarifiers down one or two positions and get a ripping and blading action.

Thanks Jordon. Tying to catch up. I did something wrong with the screen setting, was it acceptable to watch?

Bill Burkhart it was fine to watch.

C Dee thanks for telling me. it seems like the picture is a little smaller than normal thanks again for Taking time to let me know

Aaron. The pulverizer is 3 Impliments in one. I’ll explore that in an upcoming video. Good question-Bill

Thank you Tim, I’ll get you on the viewers list. -Bill

I understand James, the box blade is a valuable Impliment for me too. Have a terrific week -Bill

I do have a land plane but thought the box blade would move more mass.

Hi Dwayne, good luck with your vineyard. I’d be interested in seeing videos of your project, I’m sure others would too.

Biff's Equipment Hello Biff, I sure did. I contacted the company, sent them photos and they send me the parts to make the repair for under $60. Pretty easy repair. Thanks for checking.

@@billburkhart thats great to hear bill, sounds like a great company. Im glad you got it all figured out cuz im sure youll be happy to get back at it.

Danny now I have that song looping in my head 😂😂 Thanks for taking me back about 50 years. 👍👍 Enjoy the nice weather this week-Bill

@@billburkhart Happy Mowing from Burlington!

@@dannyd1572 Burlington? You must have some tie to Dubuque to know that jingle

@@billburkhart We had three channels growing up in the 70's....and that commercial played constantly! lol

I’ll be darn Danny, thanks for sharing those memories. -Bill

Hi Jimmer I thought the same thing, I was very happy how much it could doze dirt. Stay well freind.

Hi Michael. I had the top link installed by the dealer 6 months after purchasing the tractor. Im very happy with the installation. I didn’t get the hydraulic tilt. Thanks for asking. Have a great thanksgiving.

@@billburkhart Thanks Bill ,as always good video

Ahillbillyredneck you’ll love having it. Thanks and stay safe

I’m from jersey

Hi Thomas, I have indeed, it pulled a lot of gravel away from the project I was working on. You just gave me my next video to put out. I'm very happy with it. Take care.
