Simple cheap solution to keep lawns and pastures healthy all season! Tool Tuesday 

I saw where you're going to be one of the speakers at the Homesteaders of America Conference in October. I wish we could attend. It would be awesome to meet you in person. Maybe I'll win the lottery between now and then.

Thank you, Josh, for being well informed on good pasture management and passing it on to us viewers.

I love how in touch you are with your community. Great videos, keep it up!

I have a 5 ft pull behind, sure helps the pasture alot. Our pasture was nasty and a ton of weeds last summer when we bought and now its so pretty. Thanks for sharing

Hey Josh , I love your channel , and your attitude is such a pick up , makes a person want to watch , Keep up the great work !

Hey Josh! Happy and safe 4th to you and Mrs. Stoney Ridge from here! Enjoy your day with family and friends Doug@ the"ranch"

Thanks to you I've found the Titan 1500# clamp-on pallet forks I've been needing, At a great price too. ThankYou for your support of all us little guys trying to improve our land for ourselves & local wildlife. Much appreciated 👍😎🇺🇸

Good Vid Josh the landscape guys used one of them on my backyard and then quad seeded it. I got some grass out there now!!!

Hi! I’m from Ontario Canada. Like your videos very much. Nice weather here. My veggies are coming up nicely. Beverley 🥰

Very cool tool. Thanks for highlighting it. A good solution for our back pasture.

Just found you and love your stuff! Also... you choice of timepiece is impeccable! Seiko Automatic Diver!

Such a cool implement. Thanks for sharing the information on it. I will be looking at one for my pastures. I did notice in the video that your top link was to short, which could put the lift arms in a bind and cause some damage. Just lengthen the top link so the side rails of the frame where the roller bearings are, are level, not tipped down at the front. Just a tip from someone that's been there, done that and destroyed a tractors hydraulic rock shaft.

Joshua you might consider acquiring a quick hitch. It will make hook-ups as well as disconnecting much easier.

Great video Josh keep up the great work. That would be a good idea to do before I frost seed in the spring

Titan makes great equipment. Our local Kioti dealer sells their stuff and we've been very impressed so far.

I would make something shaped kind of like an old swingset but heavier where you can hang implements to hook up easier.Especially something like a PTO post hole digger.

Great video. I'd had one of those on my mind for my pastures here on the farm. I'm also trying to repair some fields that have been neglected by the past owner alot of work and alittle time will do the trick happy 4th to you and yours

For extra hard pan soil consider adding an extra frame on top on which to load more weight to push times deeper in soil.

Love seeing this implement hard at work. So many under estimate it’s value n efficiency. Excellent stonyridgefarm well done man.

That's why I went with a pull type spreader, much easier to hook up

I have to say Josh, the pastures are looking pretty dang good! Nice glass of Ice Tea and just sit and enjoy that view in the evening!!

Bolt on forks look like a good way to bend a bucket to me you are also a lot farther out from your pivot point on your front end loader meaning the leverage prevents you from picking up nearly as much as a dedicated fork mast if you have a quick attach bucket its no problem at all swapping and takes virtually no time

I use my Titan pallet forks all the time especially since the forks are removable and a tow ball can be used to easily move trailers around.

My friend posted on facebook a post about bees. It was down right funny when it called yellow jackets assh___s. That about covers it. Love your video. The grass will love this.

Just checking out some of the older videos . Great content as usual .

I KNOW WHAT TYE SECRET IS AHHHHHHHHH. Can't wait for you to review it!!!

Can't believe the crisp colors of the drone camera! Your farm looks like paradise on my 4K laptop! I do need an aerator for my place so I appreciated this video a little extra! I saw the sneak peak and I'm feelin' Jeepy!! WOOOO!!

The ad PTO quick link and their parody of you Josh was awesome. They nailed it with their impression of you

Hey Josh , I love your channel! Can you do a 4 year review on this product? You always have a super way of teaching, thank you!

@stonyridgefarm , I’ll speak for your bearings , top link n 3pt. “ please pick us up when using ground engaging tools n well last you a long long time. “ we set up everything to be pulled straight. Each disc blade or aerator tooth along with its frame get twisted pretty good. That’s the beauty of 3pt is we can pick it up. Any pull type with lift should be raised as well when turning. A lot of leverage cranking a rear gang of discs. Bigger tractors won’t sweat this extra stress til you see a draft arm trashed. Also lift those 3 pt arms when using any pto n lock them up. Bad day mowing n making a turn after they slack out. Just my 2 cents. Not my place to tell another man how to farm his land but I enjoy helping,

I was looking at getting an aerator, this is very helpful.. thanks

A Pats quick hitch is a useful thing when changing implements often. Not knocking on other brands but don't have to worry about top link not matching up with the Pats. I have them on my JD 1023 and love them.

Lots of tools Josh...so cool...so so cool....thanks for teaching us....

Great video, your property is so beautiful to see. I enjoy your videos

I have the same pallet forks. For repeated use, I use ratchet straps to keep them snug against the bucket and they won't slide off.

Bought a 4 tine Hay King pasture renovator. It also works very well but it’s twice the price and it really works my 2wd Massey 255 I have to pull it in 1st.

I have a similar broadcast seeder similar to your's. We built a dedicated stand using old pallets that make's it must easier to attach and detach.

You guys have a Beautiful farm !!

Your garden looks like it is coming along great

Pat from Ireland bought aerator last year see great results from it

11:15 beautiful view, good job sir.

Missing a little of radiator fluid to avoid rust inside of aerator-drum. Great videos Josh.

I have my inpliements on heavy pallets with castors. Converted a old corn crib into a "storage barn" by adding a concrete floor. Back up to the door, roll what you need over to it and hook it up. Wheeled pallets will allow you "wiggle" it right into place easly! Getting to old to fight with stuff anymore! 😉

Always use it after it's rained and dried out just a bit, also, always lift it off the ground when making any turn, not just sharp ones. I'm guessing you noticed how much harder the tractor is to steer when you don't lift the aerator. It's very hard on the lower lift arms of the tractor to turn without lifting the aerator, I broke one of the attachment points for the turnbuckle on one arm not lifting my aerator before turning. Just a heads up, keep up the great videos, I like them.

Other than the new RTV that 240 hits a soft spot. One of my all time favorites. It will haul tail in transport gear. Lol.

just picked up a scrap water heater, ill have to weld some spikes on it and build one of my own!

Have a Great Independence Day. GOD BLESS America

Hey Josh good video thank you for it

Try parking/ storing/ unhitching the broadcast spreader on a few sturdy pallets. Also works well for some brush hog and other 3pt implements. We park our brush hog on 2 large round logs- makes on/off easier. Dont fall for the gimmick of a quick hitch- they are great for certain heavy tillage and some particular items on dead-flat ground. Mostly just a gimmick by skinny little wimps with 20hp utility yard tractors who think they're saving time hook ing up stuff in their paved garage in the suburbs

I was Yelling at the screen, "it's going to roll, watch your shins" when you were hooking up. we have wedge blocks for all implements, and pallets to set stuff like the broadcast spreader on, got them from a local hardware from the dumpster, they are plastic, and aerators bounce on our soil, we use a lot of Revive to help with water retention and we have a compost pile the size of a semi truck. if you want more weight in it use beet juice. thanks for the fun

Dt drain it do what I did with mind half water an antifreeze:)) it's been like that for 5 years now....

Great job enjoyed that!!!

If you have a ventrac, an attachment called an aeravator works wonders for compaction

Cool Beans. I'll have to start setting some money aside for one.

Great tool Tuesday Josh, aeration is a great way to keep your grass healthy!

After you finish the deer turds you should go give mommy kisses.

Best thing to watch good job.

That looks like fun. Have tried agricultural gypsum. Lots of studies from ag schools.

Excellent tractor!!!

Josh, you could build up soil a little more by going behind aerator spreading thin layer of compost or possibly having chicken litter spread behind it. That could fall into aerator grooves to add organic matter to your poor topsoil. Good luck with it. Tomg

I have that same broadcaster and your not lying HAHA. it's a love hate relationship

based on what I have been studying lately , I have similar soil, you need to investigate cover crops to improve your soil and water infiltration rates

Josh,On your broad cast spreader, idea set on pallets to raise & level before on hooking, should be easier to hook up next time

I need one of those after all of the compaction I have caused in my fields because of the rain!!

What type of attachment works best to remove stones from my pasture? Stones are usually 3"-4" river tumbled rock. Thanks!

I have several Titan attachments, they have good products.

Love the music playing just when you started aerating the field...What was playing?.

Ive never used an aerator like that one. I have had very good luck with a tow behind plug aerator.

I would recommend a layer of grease on the threads of the fill plug on the aerator. Mine rusted on which is a big headache. Frank

That looks so right 🌞✨✨✨🕊

Hey Josh Tractor time with Tim used beet juice for tire weight, won't rust or freeze, would be good for the aerator

Hi mr stoney ridge I noticed how you could speed up the process, by buying a three point to tow hitch attached you could then use it on you Kabota and get the same result. Loving the video very helpful 🙂🙂

Set that spreader on high blocks will make it easier

Josh, build a frame made from treated wood that allows you to sit the spreader on it so it sits straight and about 2 feet off the ground.

Hey just food for though on mowing what if you put an offset pullbehind mower behind the Vintrax maximizing each pass. Just a thought

Use the scrap metal to make a stand to hold your broadcast spreader off the ground to make hooking up easier.

Sort of off topic, but I also watched your video where that metal building was assembled and I am getting a similar one installed in the next month or two. Please tell me what is the height, at the eaves, of your building....I'm currently trying to decide between a 10 and 12 ft height for a new building on my land. Keep up the great work, I enjoy you videos and your upbeat mentality.

hey Josh that metal frame your aerator came in would work well with little fab work to set your broadcast spreader on to get it up off the ground to make it easier for 1 person to hook up. just a thought didnt know if you thought about it

nice pieces!

Set the broad cast spreader on 3 or 4 pallets, it will make hooking it up much easier

What's the name of the song or lyrics playing when you started aerating after you filled the drum with water ? That's one of my favorite tunes as Ryan Kurster of How Farms Work on You Tube channels uses that also.

6:20 - 6:30.... Hi larious!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤠🤠🤠

2 things off the top of my head. Use some scrap materials and build some landing gear for that spreader. Look into deep soil aeration in patches that may not see any or very little improvement from just a roller type aerator. Deep soil aeration will also help with areas that hold water longer than they should. Hard pan that you can't see is a booger.

You need a "Titan quickattach". I really like mine.

ow are you my frend ,im algerian job , i love the natur and farm

Great video, Josh...youre are always informative. Aeration does wonders for a yard or pasture.

I needed some scrap iron out of our scrap pile one day. Had low cut shoes and flare leg jeans this was late 70's or early 80's I happened to step too close to a ground yellow jacket nest had 6 or 8 that flew up my pants leg... yes I know about yellow jackets!!!

Nice dogs.

Josh, Great video! I have a tow behind aerator for my poulan lawn mower on our homestead. We are all wooden so I wouldnt need something like this size for my kubota but I do aerate the lawn every year and its as green as can be! Thanks for sharing!

Does it get heavy enough to level some mole hills? I'd love to be able to aerate and level at the same time.

Man I need one of them BAD !!!!

Hey Josh How do you go about pulling out old fence post 6" round? I appreciate your time mate, very much enjoy the content. Regards Adrian

How well does this work josh? I would really consider one for running over hay field.

I put 2 wheels on the back of mine easy to move around

Use an adequate mixture of anti freeze

Josh, another good Tool Tuesday video. We have one of those aerators and it work like a charm. Enjoyed.

Hey where did you get your garden bedder? I seen it in your video when you were unhooking your attachments.

As you discovered, a wide single-drum spiker is fine while you’re traveling in a straight line, but when you turn, the entire drum turns at the same speed. It should be segmented so the spikes can rotate independently.

You went off into the distance & sounded like the peanuts adults because of that beautiful tree edged grass pasture! Guess I'll have to rewatch to see what you were saying.

Deer turds can be full of minerals, as they browse through the wooods and eat plants from the forest floor gorwing from the brok down leaves from trees which can pull minerals from deep in the earth, alfalfa also roots deep and pulls minerals from as deep down as 18 feet.
