Tim it was fun seeing y’all at the Morgans. Both my favorite channels together. I have a kubota L3301. I had it the last 4 years I’ve been with you. To me it’s not the tractor that makes a good channel it’s the good people in it. Thanks for all you and your family do!!😃 God Bless.
This is why made a suggestion to have Mini Tractor Show. There would dealers and private owners there. I have been to alot Tractor Shows and there are alot smaller and larger tractor collections there.
Interesting. I've read through comments and no one has said anything about it being a John Deere only channel, except for you. Strawman creation must be a speciality of yours,,,
I think some people miss the point of your videos. They arent about what a green or orange or red or blue tractor will do. They are about what small tractors can do. I appreciate you going out on a limb like this. I grew up with small tractors and have still learned a ton from your channel. God bless!
@@TractorTimewithTim not yet on the compact. The fact they are actively lobbying side by side with apple against letting farmers have to tools to fix their tractors will keep me out of a modern JD. We have a 755 in the family and it's a great machine.
Had 2 green and 3 orange. All have been great! Favorite was a Kubota Grand L series. If you like tractors, you like all of them no matter the color. No better therapy after a hard week than on a tractor seat!
Good morning Tim. Interesting on the start differences. For me here in our cold temps, I always plug in the block heater for a while first. Not sure I have to, but I do - both the B2601 and the LX2610. The Lx2610 does not have the auto glow plugs - I have to hold it as I did wth the B2601 and it does not auto increase the RPMs - I start it at mid throttle (as I did with the B2601). Thanks for sharing. Great info. Enjoy the new tractor !
I have friends that are mechanics on these machines, and whether or not they need it to start it is still better for the engines to not start as cold without the block heaters. So carry on knowing you are treating your machine better!
GP one of the things I looking forward to is to see if the transition wines like it does on your 2610. Looking forward to the feedback from Tim on differences of the two.
Hi Tim, I love the new tractor, of course I’m biased, I have a LX3310 myself. Regarding the preheat system on the 3310, the 2610 has glow plugs but the 3310 has an intake heater. That’s why they have different preheat procedures.
I live in North Dakota, Its 34 degrees below zero this morning ( not wind chill) and I have a front mount snow blower for my 2038R so use it a lot in the real cold months. I have a small insulated shed and when I want to use the tractor I turn on the electric heat for about 4-5 hours so the engine is warm, and hydraulics, power steering, battery etc. Everything is warm, then when done snow blowing I put the heat on for a couple hours to dry everything off. A block heater just warms up the engine, but I like to have everything warmed up.
I’m a GM guy. I love green, too. But to be honest, I watch Tim and Christy more for their honest, well-thought out content, than for the color of the tractor. I genuinely enjoy hearing about the differences in the brands, and seeing first-hand demonstrations of their pros and cons. Can’t wait to see more.
yeah i kinda wish walk behind snowblowers came with diesel engines like the old kubota walk behind blowers used to have but dont make there walk behind snowblowers any more but lucky i still can get enines up to 23hp for my walk behind st327 husqavarna snowblower wich I might swath it for that take the 8.5 hp gas engine off and put a kubota 23hp diesel on it
@@kylerayk oh your still with the older kubota m5660 ive seen the same kubota m5660 still working away pretty tough reliable old tractors and nice there parts still avaliable for them wich is nice and lucky
@@Keeslinger i maybe getting a kubota diesel engine to put on to my husqavarna st327 27'' snowblower and get rid of the 8.5 hp gas engine that came with it and swath it to a 16 or 23hp kubota diesel
It's good to see variety. Cant have a channel talking about tractors and only have one brand. This will allow more viewers to come to a more informed decision on what will work for their specific needs and uses. Tim I'll keep watching no matter what color your driving.
Unfortunately people can’t get past brand loyalty it’s TTWT. The content which has been produced has taught us a lot about tractors and their abilities, in my opinion it’s the best YT channel for this, there’s many good channels out, but for the ease of watching TTWT is second to none.
Hey Tim if someone doesn't want to watch you because they don't like the tractor you have, then don't worry about them, I don't watch because of your tractor I watch because of your content, I've driven and owned big boy tractors. Sooner or later they all break down. Keep putting out the videos, love watching them God speed and God bless you, your family and your channel
I see my tractor as a tool. I don't care which color you buy and own. Many tractors in this size category are good machines, and they are competitive enough that the differences are usually subtle. I own Orange, but have been watching your channel for some time.
Your channel just went up in ponts with me. I just enjoy tractors in general. I dont care what color it is. I wish you had every color made so we can see the unique differences from the buying experience, to how the tractor performs and probably most importantly, parts and service. I have the RK55S (thanks you Mike Morgan) and i love it. If you read on the RK tractors, support seems to be a major issue. That said, i had a very minor issue with mine and RK went out of their way to get it resolved. I couldn’t be more pleased with the tractor and the service. I would love to see RK get on board your channel( if you would have them ).
Hey Tim just wanted to comment on your new tractor, I grew up on a large farm, we had several John Deere tractors as well as massy’s and others. I have had 3 kubota’s now, I must say they are fabulous! We still have 2 JD’s but for the LX series they are without a doubt the top of the food chain!! Hope you enjoy your new LX! I’m crazy about my new LX2610!
I'm actually really happy for you. For once everyone will get in unbiased review from both machines working together. I cant wait to watch all the cool capabilities
My tractor is orange and I loved your channel before you bought the Kubota. From the videos I watched, it seemed like you were focusing more on tractors in general than a specific brand. I have learned a lot from your channel, including learning about trailers and chains. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on your new Kubota! Although I switched to Deere, they are great tractors, and I’m sure you (and “most” of us) will enjoy you exploring the differences both pros and cons. I remember how hard it used to be to deal with diesels in the cold. the new tractors are soooo much better. Even though my fuel supplier provides winter blend fuel, I still use the diesel anti-gel additive when it gets as cold as it is now. Cheap insurance...and old habits die slow sometimes😉 Thanks again to you and Christy for being the folks that you are, and for providing the enjoyable content that you do! Blessings to you both......and keep warm.
Tim I'm a green man. Always have been since being on the farm as a kid. But doesn't matter what color your tractor or side-by-side is just enjoy and have fun. Do you think Mike Morgan will ever be seen on something green? Who knows...maybe. Green, orange, red, blue, whatever...I'll keep watching. Keep up the great videos.
I like this move. You can’t offer comparisons unless you look at different products. You’ve been test driving and kicking tires on different tractors and owning will improve your presentations
Interesting video Tim, I liked seeing how they both started in the cold, nice first comparison. My little BX has no issues started even at 0 degrees but will hesitate for a few seconds at start up. When I bought my new loader I had to trailer it in the salt as well and washed it immediately and didn’t have any ill effects from the salt thankfully 👍🏻
Tim you have hit the nail on the head small tractors start good in cold we have a sub compact orange - 10 yesterday used glow plug 10 seconds and hit start ran rough for a while but wish the heaters would work like the one in our Honda Van Diesel is the way to go God Bless All PaK
I have been watching your channel for years truth be told your the reason I own a 1025r you guys did a great job of showing what the little tractor could do. Now I am looking for a bigger tractor to add to the fleet and these two you have are the tractors I have been looking at. I’m looking for the best fit for my needs I don’t care about color as long as it holds up, which bring me back to you, thank you for all the videos and different things you guys try to do with your tractors there isn’t a lot of info out there on them (real world use). I like that you are doing these videos with different brands and I feel I am getting a honest comparison from a guy that is really trying to show the potential and problems of each unit. Keep up the good work and thanks again, and yes Kubota should have gave some sort of a deal on the tractor only the man up stairs truly knows how many 1025r John Deere’s you have sold over the years!
Funny timing on this, I just stopped by our property today and used my Kubota L3301 for the first time in 3 months. I was nervous that it wouldn’t start with a 4 year old battery and only 12 degrees outside. I turned the key, waited for the preheat light to go off and hit the key again 🤞 She fired right up! I enjoyed about an hour of pushing snow before it was time to leave. Can’t wait to get back there again.
Love the channel. First, I’m an orange guy and have been since I bought my L3301 a little over 3 years ago. I’ve watch your channel since then to learn implements, tricks and how to. Green, orange red or blue, keep producing the content and I will watch.
Really great that you are doing this without corporate influence. Proud owner of a L2501 HST. Watched you prior to the LX and will watch you even if the LX blows up.
We have a 2006 Kubota L3130. It struggles to start on these cold days. I have to cycle the glow plugs sometimes 8 times before it will start. Then it starts with a cloud of smoke and runs a bit rough for a minute or so. But like you we need our tractor. I did the 100 hour service a week and a half ago and we already have 12 hours on the clock. We use it to put out round bales for the horses, clearing snow and installing fence. Enjoy your videos!
@ 1:30 - True to that Tim!!! We appreciate your objectivity. We also were "Green" with the 1025R and we now have a Kioti DK6010SE HST Cab, and it's AWESOME!!! @ 3:25 - Glad to hear you're sticking with your integrity. We too do that with our reviews too on RC planes. We try to be fair with the brands we work with, but if they can't tolerate honest reviews, we just don't "take the cheese" ;)
I don't care what color the tractor is that you have, l just like tractors and your videos. I find your videos informative even if they don't involve my brand of tractor. Since I have a Kioti you only have a few videos pertaining to them. If I only watched those videos I would be missing out on a wealth of information that you put out. I hope the narrow minded people will overcome their shortcomings and expand their knowledge of all tractors. Thank you guys for what you do.
I have had great respect for both John Deere and Kubota, they both have world class support and logistics to keep the machines working. Looking forward to seeing both machines working side by side. Thanks!
The fact that you like all tractors is why I watch your channel. Great information, and very informative! I may be purchasing a Deere 1025 here in the near future, but all I have right now is my little Power king 1614. It's not even diesel, but I love it anyway. Either way, great channel... thanks for the videos
I'm super excited about the new variety, I've been watching for years and will continue to do so. Can't wait to find out what the mystery attachment is that you need the power beyond kit for.
Bravo for talking about the ease of starting modern diesels in cold weather!!!! even at -30° my 2610 starts right up (with a trickle charger and block heater). Never do that 50 years ago.
Your channel will only improve with the new tractor. I see around my area green, orange, blue, and red tractors. Most of the attachments are even a different shade. It’s all about getting the work done with what you your vested in. Looking forward to seeing more adventures with them.
Thanks Tim for diversifying your tractor fleet. Watching the differenced between green and blue was great. Now that you have added orange you should be able to give us viewers, who can't make up our mind, more opportunity to see first hand how these tractors react.
I don't care if you drive green, blue or orange, the information you share is so valuable. People should be glad they can own one of these machines in the first place. I still have my Case 1816b skid steer and although I don't have the digital display, when I went to start it yesterday it puffed out "It's too bloody cold" lol. I think it would prefer to live in Florida not Northern Illinois. Keep up the great content, will be waiting on that bell to ring with another helpful video.
Tim, I have been watching your channel since you started. I too was a JD guy, but I love the fact you are giving unbiased reviews. I noticed the Kubota has a better system for the hydraulic hose management then JD where the hoses on JD are way above the loader frame. Points for Kubota! Keep doing what you are doing. It is always good to have an open mind and not limit your choices to one color. Thanks. Mike
I know a lot of people are very opinionated about brands and brand loyalty, but to me you get the tool that you need. If it has features that your JD doesn't then oh well. You got what you needed.
With all the snow tonight in central Indiana, I needed the B2601 and at 12-13 degrees it fired right up first try. I admit I was looking forward to my tractor therapy all day.
Really enjoy the content, color doesn't matter. One implement I just dont see much in depth information on in the USA anyway is inverted snowblowers. Specifically the hybrid vs standard, front pto, vs standard drive backwards. My dealer in Michigan looked at me like i was an alien when I asked about inverted snowblowers.
Both machines seem well made. I own a 2038R and love it but, I’m excited to see what the Lx3310 can do. The all digital dash would take some getting used to.
Hello from Iron Station North Carolina! That’s a very nice addition to y’all’s tractor line up! Thanks for being family friendly and very informative with every video y’all make! Go Heels!
I for one like this comparison idea. Thanks for doing this. I plowed our driveway this morning it was 18 degrees and my JD 2320 started up chugged a little black smoke and warmed up fine. Your right diesels have come along way. My old 455 diesel had a heater that needed to be plugged in prior to cold start. Have to admit I have a problem on a cold start lol. Stay warm Bruce from Mason Michigan
I’m excited about your purchase as I got the cab version of the 3310 delivered a month ago. I have it hooked up to a block heater and it started right up today in below zero weather. I have only 8 hours on it, but am very happy with its features. Charlie from Sheboygan Wi
I'm a L2501 Kubota owner for the last 2.5 years and I try to watch ALL Your videos The best tractor to have is the one You want or Own If You own a tractor that the one for You Ken in Florida I also still own My 1st tractor, a 1948 Ford 8N
Actually it's his wife who is awesome. I can't imagine having like four tractors in the shed and suggesting we buy another one and getting a YES. I'm hesitant to put milk on the shopping list until the gallon is actually gone.
Absolutely a great thing for the channel. There is something about Johnny projects that will always make this channel special, but that can only give you so much content. You guys are really living up to the name “Tractor Time”. Keep it up and CONGRATS!!!!
And before I forget it again (I am old) thanks for the introduction to Dirt Perfect and all of his crew down there on the south tip. I really enjoy watching someone work who really enjoys their work. I can't help but think that anyone who works for him looks forward to every day.
It was -29 here in the U.P. Of Michigan. My B2650 Cab starts great. I do have a block heater. After around 15-20 mins of blowing snow my fuel filter gelled up. Our local fuel station must not have the correct winter blend diesel. I was also using Power Service additive. I am now trying Howes additive on the higher rate of 2 oz per 5 gallons. Glad to see your comparing different Manufactures,
I’m with you Tim... I just love tractors and I own an orange one. But I have always loved your programming! I love watching how you and your wife communicate and show gods love to each other!
You were the reason for me to get a tractor. I ended up getting my neighbors BX2360 and the only reason why I got it was due to the awesome maintenance he did. The only other way would have been new which I can not afford. Keep it up the haters are gonna hate.
I bought my JD 970 new in 1991 and it has been bullet proof. It has the 35 hp Yanmar. It has always been stored in my non heated barn. It has always started easily even in double digit below zero Temps. It's now 2023 and I'm looking at enclosed cab 🚜 tractors in the 40hp range. I'll probably stay with JD due to their amazing dealer support we've had here in Eastern Washington from Pape Machinery. 🚜🚜🚜
Over here in N. IL, I just put a block heater on my '10 JD 3320 with 600 hrs on it. I've been starting it in 15-30 degree temps and it was firing right up, but with single-digit to sub-zero temps on us for weeks on end now, I figure a block heater would both help cold start and save some wear and tear on the engine components. It was not easy getting the engine plug broke loose, we had a 4ft breaker pipe on a large 3/4 ratchet with the adapter to 1/2 for the plug. It was also not easy getting access "straight on" we had to loosen clips and move the fluid return hose in 3 places. But we got it done! People that are "seriously" critical because of the color of the machine are just plain silly and bored. All equipment breaks, the most critical difference is having a dealer that makes things happen for parts and repairs. I think adding this Kubota side by side to the JD is a really great idea and it really should broaden your audience and allow for more great content! Good luck TTWT team!
I’m with you Tim, I like tractors. I have an L285 Kubota 80s era and a B3200 Kubota 2011 model. I have a John Deere mower X380 2018 model. You all are doing a great job!!!!
You should have had Holley, or is it Lil' Boy Blue, in that mix. I remember farming with IH diesels, 560, 806, 826, they were always cold blooded in the central Illinois winters. They were a catch 22, you couldn't pull'em till they warmed up, and they wouldn't warm up till you pulled them.
I apologize I jumped the gun with my comment, when you bought the orange I thought you was switching brands.i have green and enjoy watching you use all the attachments with the green so I can get and idea of things I can do with my green tractor. will try and keep a open mind, and watch the comparisons ..I love watching your channel , and the way you share your family. Keep up the good and honest work.
I never thought I'd watch a cold start video but you made it interesting! Last week I was preparing for a snow storm so I went into my "Plastic Barn" ( Shelter Logic) to warm up my Cub Cadet tractor. The temps were in the single digits and I got maybe 3 turns of the key and nothing. I then ran a small electric space heater in there for about 15 minutes and it started right up. BTW my less than 2 year old Shelter Logic failed! Only a 4" snow load split the peek front to back its 10' length! Luckily I had an old 10' x 10' tarp to make repairs. Best Regards, Jay
Looking forward to more side by side videos. Color doesn't matter to me, but the dealer certainly does. I looked at orange, got the impression I was bothering the salesman and he had better places to be; went to the yard of both red and blue, again I felt like I was keeping him from something else (it was NOT lunch time); wandered in to the green store, manager came right over, asked many questions to put me in the right model for my needs, and actually acted interested in getting my business. Long story short, green tractor in the barn. If I lived somewhere else with different dealers things might be very different.
It was a tough choice for me on my 1st tractor. Green or orange. Ultimately it came down to ease of installing the loader and drive over mower deck. Extra bonus points is that my JD dealer is 5 minutes away, kubota was one hour. On my second JD, this time I got a 2025R TLB. Just wish someone made an aftermarket turbo to bump it up to 28 or so.
Tim, you said “hauling wood”, it’s clear you spent some time with Mike Morgan!! Moving from a 1025r to a kioti 3510se, I am too amazed at the start up process. The kioti is much smoother in the cold too. Only issue with the Kioti had been a dead battery (under 10 hours). I had close to 450 hours on the 1025, and it went through the polar vortex, and never had a battery issue. Not sure what to think of that yet. Glad your well!!!!
Hi Tim, I was watching your channel and I have a Kubota LX 2610, my opinion your number of subscriber will jump up ! keep up the good work and contents :)
Awesome video! Thank you! Another very informative one for a new tractor owner. Looking forward to watching more and I appreciate that you are doing honest comparisons and won’t allow yourself to be told what to say!
I like both colors!!!!! I also like "Old Yeller" and "Where the Red Fern Grows"!!! But back when I could use a machine we had a "Massy Ferguson" and that thing was great....Now all I can do is sit back and watch you guys run em and cheer ya on.!
Tim, I enjoy your channel because it's 1. About tractors, and 2. It's informative. I don't watch because you're green or orange. I myself have have had a CCY SC2400 since 2010 or so, but I've been researching upgrading to the 3310. I saw comments by @GP Outdoors here too! I enjoy your channel as well, sir! Cheers to you both! Tractor on! 😉
I dont understand why people get so bent out of shape over a brand. I love your channel because you guys demo "other" brands along with "Jonny". I also have an orange tractor but it not a Kubota but does start with a K. Nothing wrong with diversity. God bless.
I am amazed at how well modern tractors startup in the winter. It gets nippy here in Maine. Being able to start my tractor to clear snow and move stuff in the winter is absolutely necessary. I was originally looking for a gas powered tractor just because of the cold temperatures. When I couldn't find anything modern, I grudgingly went to look at the diesels. I haven't had any issues at all. I do have electricity in my barn now, so I can hook up the heater. I put it on a Wi-Fi plug so I can turn it off and on from anywhere. I highly recommend this to anyone who has equipment in cold weather. I'm also very happy it doesn't need it. Did you put weight in the tires?
It's amazing how invested some of us get on the brand of tractor. Personally I always wanted to buy a John Deere tractor...always admired them. However, after doing about a year of research (2019-2020) it seemed obvious for many reasons the Kubota LX2610 was a better option for my needs than any of the John Deere offerings. I took delivery of my orange tractor, Sept 2020, and have not been disappointed by it in any way, shape or form. In part that's because it's my first diesel tractor and I know no different. My point is, like much of life it's what you know and have that shapes opinion...most compact tractors on the market have advantages and disadvantages. It's up to each of us to do the use and product research before making our purchase. RU-vid was a great source of information to me while shaping my opinions. Thank you for the knowledge imparted on this channel, it was and remains a great help.
Tim I have own two Kubota tractors, I always wanted Deere however they wanted $4,000 more for Deere same size and HP than my 1st Kubota 3701 L series and didn’t want to deal emailed me price and basically take it or leave it without even meeting me so orange it was! I loved L series , don’t like my b series 2601 as much feels small however can run across lawn without causing damage so that was one reason I moved down in size! Really like the information you share about tractors, implements and your life lessons and things going on in your family. Thanks for being real and sharing you struggles and wins with us! That’s what I appreciate about you and show the most! Bless you and thank you for being a bright spot in this crazy world!
