Pile It Higher and Deeper!! John Deere 1025R Almost Slides into the Creek! 

I have said it before .. I have a sub-compact Massey Ferguson about the same size as Johnny and it always amazes me what these tractors can do. If anyone thinks they aren't able to work and get a lot done, well I hope they watch your channel. Great work and a terrific amount of work done by these little beasts!!!

That 1025R is really impressive!

Man that 1025r can do some work. Very impressive, my 2025r should be here this week, I cant wait!

Tim Christi what a job Jonny is a extension of your body it takes time and experience keep the hard jobs coming God Bless PaK

That 1025r is a work horse! I'm so impressed. Seriously considering the 1025r. We get a lot of snow and handling split firewood would take in e a load off my back.

the ventrac with the boom mower would have been awsome to get down to the creek on this job, great job as allways..

I really like watching you use your tractor doing hard work and some abuse, it shows me that these tractors are made to work and work hard , it really makes me feel like I bought the right tractor for my property and that these things are small in size but are tough and can get the job done ! Thanks

Hi Time, While a cab with AC would be nice, for all you do, a sun shade is what you need. While I haven't specifically looked at them for a 1025R, I'm sure there are several out there that really help with being out in the sun, and there cost should be reasonable that the finance committee would be happy to approve it.

I LOVE WATCHING U DO UR THING . I HAVE A NEW HOLLAND BABY 24 HP TRACTOR , IM A CITY BOY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TRACTORS, U MADE ME REALIZE WHAT I CAN DO WITH A TRACTOR. BECOAUSE OF U I BOUGHT A TOOTH BAR FANTASTIC TKS TIM.

All in a days work! Nice project day, good work.

Love it. It's a perfect base model for the budget sensitive buyers. Everything you need and correct me if im wrong but heard Ember has good build quality. Probably be able to talk a dealer into tossing in a battery. Two if you're good! Can't really ask for much other than a trifold. Everything else at this price point is nice!

Bigger trailer bigger trailer lol. Reminds me of landscaping with my grandpa. Seemed we always needed another trailer 😂

Good job tim! I was very dusty but you got over it!

Haven't read through all these comments and don't know if you'll see this given the video is a year old, but you could put your grapple and/or other implements in the bed of the truck and take it out with the chain as you did with the tiller. I've done that myself many times. Have a BX25 and use to have many implements. Mostly I cut and removed firewood for free from peoples yards as I used it to heat my house. Still have the Landpride grapple and love using it. Also, I've done some landscaping jobs preparing areas for seeding and would use a York rake and box blade. Would be a lot quicker and less stress on the tractor than tilling everything as you do. Different strokes for different folks.

Johnny was is beat mode! Stay safe Tim!

get home from school and YES there is a ttwt video!

More drama than usual! Was on edge of my seat!

Hi Tim we used to contact the fire dept and get some pieces of old fire hose cut into about 12 inch lengths works great and if not free its very cheep keep up the great vids Paul

My .02 for a bigger trailer, as I've said before I have a 25 (20+5 dovetail) gooseneck and an 18 foot bumper pull. I typically use my gooseneck for everything unless the customer's driveway won't allow for it. That's the only reason I really keep the 18 footer. Great video as usual!

Another great show. Thanks. I think you have already found what you need to get next. If you had a hydro mower for Casey, then you would be able to safely mow ditches and around ponds. ...if you get a bigger trailer, you are still going to need to tow Johnny out from time to time, so consider getting a goose neck that will carry it all. You may find that you get lots of work just doing "safety mowing" where others (and you) wouldn't dare try using a tractor....Just a suggestion

Good Job, Thanks

My dad and I love quail hunting here in North Carolina. We have three English setters and two English pointers.

Love watching your videos.

Tim that is great to hear that you have approval to get a bigger trailer some gooseneck and bumper pull trailers have the prevision for a receiver hitch on the end so you can have the two trailers with one truck and the advantage to a cab is starting to be more tempting

Nice work, great job!!!

You did an excellent job with that small tractor it sure looks good.

Tim. You should look into a fiberglass canopy for Johnny it at least blocks the direct sun, you can hook it to the rops.

Another awesome video .. Great job ..

Looks like a great time!!

I think you should get a cab you have johnny that doesn't have a cab to use I think the cab would be very handy in the winter as well as in the summer. Tim get you a dust mask Please I have my guys wear them when we are doing work that creates a lot of dust I also have hearing protection for them but not all of them will wear it They all do wear safety glasses so that is good. You and johnny did an outstanding job on this property the customer should of been delighted when you left. I used to be good friends with a guy that lives in Greenfield I knew him when i raced remote controlled boats He worked for the Greenfield bank I think he was an director or officer or something like that. I want you to know you guys are just wonderful people and I'M sure you are a blessing to all the people you meet and do work for. I know how it is with needing a bigger trailer I started out with a 16ft then out grew that now I have a 18ft 72" wide but now there are a lot of times we need a 20ft LOL it seems they are never big enough LOL Thanks for sharing as always. Hope you guys have a wonderful week. God Bless!!!

I'm with you about the cab. While it would be really nice to have an air conditioned cab, the type of work I do requires getting on and off the tractor quite a bit. I also have a backhoe, so having a cab tractor would make the backhoe frame much longer. It's just better for how I use the tractor to not have a cab. I'm also with you in not having a long enough trailer. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for putting in the effort.

Christy, a canopy would be a good second choice EXCEPT where low hanging tree limbs or rooflines.

hi guys, another great video...

instead of a cab on the tractor you can get hard fiberglass canopies that bolt onto the antiroll bar, makes a big difference on sunny days, also you get some slight protection when it rains as long as its not windy, i have seen canopies that you can clip curtain like clear pvc sheets onto that can go on and off real quick, you can also roll them up.

Love your channel

Go Johnny go sometimes looks like you need a 60ft trailor but you got Johnny working it hard shit what you had

You can get a removable umbrella for Johnny...that way when you need it..put it on...that's what we did on our farm... :)

For the time being I would deff get a shade cover. I believe you can still fold your ROPS with one installed but don't quote me on that. We just retired a 4200 John Deere and it had a cover didn't help much with rain or cold but it helped keep the sun off ya. We replaced the 4200 with a 5060 Kabota and first purchase I made was a shade cover. Honestly for the little guy I would just keep it as it is and add the cover. Maybe your next purchase could be a enclosed cab and keep that your dedicated tilling, dusty guy even bush hogging I'd use the enclosed cab. I ran a enclosed Bobcat with a bush hog on the front and I was good to go. I ran a open cab Bobcat with same bush hog and my face swelled up twice the normal size I can only assume allergies to the grasses I was cutting. Never again. I'll only bush hog in a closed cab. For the ditch work I'd look into getting a arm mower like the Alamo Machete keeps you safe when working around drop offs and designed for that type of mowing.

I have started a collection of many pins and widgets I might need on a job site. Just got a big bag today

Love the video Time And Chrissy the end video we saw it befoere .did'nt like the backup mower was scare tim would fell in the Creek .God Bless you and your big Families on the farm too .

Great work!, I have to say that you guys keep telling your customers they need a tractor....They do have one - YOU! lol

Milwaukee Polka playing. Yea have power tiller and bolt on hooks. I do back in mowing around trees and trying to keep the growth down. Getting tougher every year. Getting older and more weeds so it seems. My creek is way back in the trees. It is like a right angle bank trench. 6' deep and over flows to 3' on the tree trunks when it pours from a TS or hurricane. It takes a lot of water off the highway and several wide open lands. I have 7 acres - 4 under grass and trees. Cutting back on them - tough summers and low water.

We need to get Tim a small payloader. The tooth bar works good. I haven't used it to much yet but it does hook things that you couldn't get otherwise. It's handy

Yet another Great project you got for us , Good video keep up the good work

Build a small shelf on the front of the trailer just above the bucket. That you can put a attachment on.

I know you guys have been debating a cab but what about a compromise (if it is available) and just have a canopy or roof that would provide shade while in the sun. Wouldn't help with the dust bowls, but would help with sun. Then you could also use something clear, like plexiglass to make front, back, and door enclosure that would attack to the frame of the canopy for winter work to be a wind block an still be able to see. I don't know if there is even an option for Johnny to have a canopy from JD. Just a thought.

I just put a Curtis Cab with heat on my Yanmar/Cub SC2450. Best accessory ever! Next year it is gettin AC! They extremely well built with great features. On paper it sounded good IRL it it fantastic.

Nice video guys. The yard looked great. When I landscaped I would put attachments in the bed of the truck. It seemed to help the truck and trailer ride a bit better. Having some weight in the bed of the truck also helps with braking distances. Just a few thoughts with that bigger heavier duty truck.

Great video...agree with the English Setter comment. Love to hunt over them!

Another great video! Your in our area in this video. Love the new truck too, we've been searching for one ourselves.

One thing you might want to look into is headsets that work with gopros. I have seen them both with motorcycles and airplanes, and will allow you to edit in the sound and still talk to each other, if you decided to get a cab.

have you considered one of those umbrellas that can be attached to the roll over bar so there is shade when needed?

You have a bed. Use it!!!! Grapple fit beautifully

I think they make a canvas top you put on and take off, might be an option.

Nice, you worked the crud out of Johnny that day, love the video.

How about a sun shade for Johnny instead of a cab. I think a bigger trailer is the way to go especially if you can have Casey with you. As always fun to watch.

Have you consider putting a flatbed on Glifford therefore increasing your hauling capability

So a new 5th wheel trailer. Nice. You could have carried the grapple in the truck. Lots of work for such a hot day. I can almost see the cheese burgers melting away.

hi Tim,yes cab or just a cover like a top,good video,later Tim

As far as a Cab goes............research ones that are "easily" detachable and with an overhead pulley system you could install/uninstall it at your leisure, as you/your jobs dictate. I have a JD X360 with a soft cab by Original Tractor Cab, and unfortunately have to keep it on in the summer as well as the winter. But.....I do take the doors off in Summer, and it is not bad at all.........................Just an Idea for you to Ponder..........LOL

Tim could you get one of them cloth umbrellas that places like Tractor supply sells for larger farm tractors, and modify it to fit Johnny ? It would at least provide some shade on the tractor and it could fold down with the Rops.

Another great vid

Tim your about to convince me I need a 1025r. I wish you were closer to Evansville I have the perfect project for Johnny. It’s in a backyard in town that’s a little to small to get my 4020 into. I like your point of how to lift implements with the bucket. I’m glad I don’t use more 3pt equipment or else I’d really want to set everything up for the quick hitch

Thanks Tim for video's Tim you should mount you a electric fan on johnny for those hot days thanks again Tim

My comments? Put racks on the trailer to haul attachments. Use the chain to strap to those unruly logs. Use the bed of your truck to haul attachments. Get a cab. Should I keep going?

Great idea to have a roller sewing machine case for tools & parts !

Tractor Time with Tim - the tiller could have been put in the back of the truck or the grapple! A lot of people forget that the truck bed is available for hauling just as the trailer!

Nice video and I don't blame you about not putting an attachment in the bed of your new truck. Did I have dejavu though? The scene where Johnny was stuck looked similar to a clip in another video.

Tim, if you don't have 2" of space between tractor PTO & tiller shaft. There is a high chance of damage to the PTO shaft on Johnny. Everything Attachments has a video on cutting a PTO drive shaft,

I had my disc, brush hog, cultipacker, rototiller, and tractor with the forks on. It was a tight fit this past weekend!! Any reason to not put the grapple or another attachment it the bed of your truck?

Great stuff. I laughed so hard as the finance committee gave approval on a trailer just as a log was dropped on the tractor. That was a close one hahaha

You could add racks on the trailer to hold the attachments you need. that way you get more space on the trailer.

try getting one of those stainless steel fans that school bus drivers use. something is better than nothing and if you have 2 of them you might be able to keep some stuff from getting in your face. great videos!!!!

Another dusty hot day ware that air conditioned cab would be real nice!

You need to find a mini batwing mower to mow ditches backs and larger areas with.

I have two of the quickloader brand straps and I love using them.

I’d recommend a spill guard Tim. I was cringing when you had that big log up high dumping. If it rolled back!!!

Tim, don't forget to put your flashers on when you are on a public road. Or is that not a requirement in Indiana? :)

REPOSTED a lot of people say the 1025r is a week machine and well times i can agree but we had one and we had a drag brush on the three point and a snow plow on the front for pushing up dairy feed in the 300 cow robotic free stall barn and we had a mower on it it did good for all that its great for mowing 10 acres but for loader work we had a skid loader and a 6430r with a loader

tim at menards they sell a sun shade for those camping chairs that clip onto any bar. they are 15 bucks and 3 different colors. your welco

Bigger trailer!! Wahhhoooooo!!!!!

that heavy hitch tooth bar is on my wish list

You should look into a bolt on sun shade of some type. Great video.

We use decommissioned fire hose to protect straps and chains. Once it’s past it’s service life they usually throw it out. Just ask your local fire department

Thought about a canopy tim? It would atleast help with rain and the direct sunlight. Not so much dust, wind and airborne stuff.

One could drill a hole in the center of the cutting edge to install a trailer ball. If this is done, drill it to close tolerance. Put the ball on and just hang a strap, rope, chain, whatever. Can move trailer around easily too.

Boy oh boy, I think he needs a few loads of black dirt hauled in!

Tim .... Any thought on the skidsteer still ..... Or has it died a death ?

To haul more attachments, can you add a rack to trailer? And would have to be easy to remove so you can use dump trailer.

With every new video that you post, it comes clearer and clearer that you need a bigger, better tractor. I say you bite the bullet and get the Kioti CK3510H

Sun shades are cheaper then cabs, easier to remove also!

Yeah my Johnny wouldn't have had a problem with that honey locust. I have those filled tires on my tractor. I also now have what you could call studded snow tires on it. Simply because of all the nails that are in my tires. I have an old house with an old storm cellar that still in that I have been slowly cleaning up for the last 2 years. Therefore I've been picking up Nails left and right. It is definitely paid for me feeling those tires and when they're wore out all I have to do is cut them off and put new ones on. Branded it is a little rougher of a ride and it makes the tractor weigh about 200 lb more.

I wish they would incorporate shock strap technology too. Definitely a 3046R with a cab would have been nice. But some of the things ya'll have to get close to may bust a cab window out tho

Look into a gooseneck trailer. PJ, LoadTrail, Big Tex, might be a bit better for weight capacity and length options. As well as options like winch, or deck over gooseneck.

Are those hooks made by Michael Bolton? Hahaha!! Joking aside, those would be very handy. I use my bucket for lifting and usually use straps but that would make using chains much easier.

you need a few GSP's to get after those quail!

TKS

need a sun shade that attached to the roll bar. I seen one the other day that could be taken off if needed. It was on a Kubota but I'm pretty sure it is universal.

I noticed you had a King Kutter RotoTiller. King Kutter is a quality brand. I can't find it here in W.V. I just like how everything they make is heavy duty. They have been around a while too. Another brand I like is WOODS. Their products are heavy duty too.

something you could look into is build a rack that you could put a loader bucket on yet get far enough under it that you would not stick off the end of the trailer i have seen this done many times with no trouble
