I love the drone footage! Don’t ever worry about stuff like this being too dull. I find things like this super relaxing to watch. It’s like ASMR for my eyeballs 😂
💥Привет из далёкой России! Не знаю весю затею с этим водоёмом но что то настораживают берега ! Уже есть размывы и это печально ! Удачи , ждём продолжения ! 😊👍
Good job Tim. Some of your Grass will most likely melt or wilt in the summer heat. Some of it will come back in fall with cooler weather but I would also plan on over seeding again this fall. In my area Winning colors seems to do well for a turf type tall fescue its expensive but has a real nice color and texture to it. I like he seeder you use seems to do a good job!
There going to resoding my back yard today , the grass company dropped of 12 pallets of grass yesterday and I’m sure they will have nine guys spreading the side today. This all happened because the building at the end of my condos had a bad water pipe and they tore it up so now we get new grass only been waiting six months for this to happen.
Great video as always! I wish I could say I was to the point of planting grass on my pond project. I think I may end up working the pond dirt I dug out last year most of this spring and summer, just to get it all spread and graded to my satisfaction. Seed has gotten so expansive, I hate to rush into planting. If need be I may wait and plant grass seed next spring.
The pond looks great. Very nice work! Fantastic drone footage, really shows the scope of the project. Y'all are doing a great job, remember to take time to enjoy what you have accomplished! 👍
I tilled my parents garden a couple weeks ago with the 3046R for the first time, instead of the 5320, and man the hydrostat is nice for that, along with the thinner width! The 3046R had zero power issues, of course! I like the drone footage, as long as you're talking through it. I can't hardly watch/listen to the Morgans because half of it is just no talking with montages, and I mostly listen to YT while I work at the computer, so it's just mostly listening to freeware music over there.
Nothing beats the purring sound of the Ventrac in the morning. Only downside is it makes me drowsy trying to run tons of Windows updates on servers as its MS update day. I'd rather be tractoring. Actually looking like a nice 65F day so I'm taking off early to get some different seat time outside. Thanks for the motivation ;)
I try and get on my toy every day, even if it's only to get the mail. The pond is really coming along and when the green starts showing it will really look great.
Tim this is EXACTLY what I would have done. I do a lot of commercial landscaping/seedbed prep. You spread the rich compost then put the topsoil on top then tilled it all in. Also those smaller clods will let the seeds fall down between and have a better chance of surviving. Seems like with my experience when the seed bed is perfect fluffy powder the seeds get washed away easier.
Well, tim, the first thing I want to comment on is the toy. I bought a new 1025r 1 year and it is more impressive than I thought it would be, it's the most universal tool I own. Secondly that dirt work looks great. A job well done.
If you're having fun with a tool, there's no reason it can't also be a toy, whether we're talking about an impact driver, a 1 series tractor, or a million dollar combine.
We run the woods 7 foot grain drill and it’s very heavy. With a full rack of weights it still makes the tractors front end light. The seed to contact is very good with it. It’s different than the one you have ours has notched adjustable disk gangs in the front then an aerator and roller.
@@TractorTimewithTim How hard is it to swap them? Do you switch your drive unit that switches the speed also? And how much does it take to do that? If you don't switch the drive unit, is there enough overlap to seed both grasses and food plots with one of the drives? And if so, which one? Thanks!
@@veritasventures1737drive unit likely needs to be switched. Easy to do. Just different sized gears. 5 minutes. Switching from disk gangs to spiked rollers or back is more difficult. Takes 20 min or so with impact wrench….requires some lifting.
Also I'm curious, it appears last fall you used the discs for grass seeding, I understand it has some adjustability for the depth of the disc, so I'm wondering how it worked seeding grass with the discs on it. Thanks a bunch!
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks! I didn't see your message when I asked another but I appreciate your response. Very helpful! I'm curious your thoughts on the disc used with grass seed on prepped soil if you have any thoughts on that. Thanks again!
Have you ever used ventracs soil conditioner, cultivater, I haven’t but any videos I’ve seen on it look like it prepares the soil for seeding quite amazingly
It is amazing how cheap and crappy they make attachments. I don't see how scattering the seed on top and running cultipacker wheels over it gives a very consistent and adjustable depth. I have always used the double run instead of the fluted feed. It seems to deliver a much more consistent seed rate.
It looks good Tim. But I see some Rocks that need to be picked. My Wife and I are entering into a new season. Our Johnny is for sale. We are down sizing. It has been nice to have a 1025r tlb. But 90% of the work has been done. The rest we can do by hand. God Bless Keep them coming.
I know the amount of money & time to set up the drone, but it's so worth it to get the perspective of the whole project! I mentioned a few months back about getting your local fire dept. to use the pond for fire hose training, have you asked them? I'd avoid using your well, as it's not really set up for that heavy duty 24/7 operation weeks at a time. .
Rural fire dept has ability to suck from any water source. Insurance doesn’t give any benefit. So, overall no reason to do this. We now have continuous pressure pump for house. They say it is well equipped for filling pond.
@@TractorTimewithTim Many towns have a large water tank/pumper truck as there are many times a water source is unavailable. I did a video one time where several local volunteer fire depts. set up these water holding frames with a liner, one teams job was to dump a whole load of water then rush to the nearest hydrant fill up and repeat for several hours. The other firefighters were pumping from the holding area (think pool) and trainees were practicing with different size hoses shooting at items for aim & with different spay patterns. They were at it for hours and must have gone thru 8 or 10 larger tanker trucks of water. I hope this explains better what I was referring to.
Tim, have you ever considered a stone burier instead of a standard tiller? The fact that the stone burier buriers debris under a layer of "clean' soil way be beneficial for the types of work you often do. I am considering a stone burier and would love to get your thoughts and MAYBE even a video!
As fairly new subscriber to your channel, I would love to come and work for a day or two to learn how to till, build swales, understand tractors etc. Have you ever thought about creating a contest for your subscribers?
A Toy , HA Well whatever , cause our 1025r 's may look like toys compared to the rest of the machines around here but they play a intreget role in our seeding and erosion control department for certain jobs around here. Can't complain about the $$$$$$$ that they bring in , so glad to have them in our Toy Box.
Enjoy your videos. We have a 3033R. The hydraulic up and down lever is very hard to use. It’s impossible to raise the rear lift a very small distance. Do you have any advice or help to fix this problem ? Thanks
Yes. Assuming you are talking about the 3 point hitch. There is an easy adjustment for this. They are ALL too tight! Not sure why Deere doesn’t test this before shipment! The service manual shows how to adjust. We recently adjusted ours on the 3520.
Barenbrug is expensive but worth it. My front yard is a mix of Midnight Bluegrass and HGT bluegrass from Barenbrug. You should have no problem getting this to grow given all the rain we're getting. I'd be more concerned about too much rain.
I'm curious why you feel that pond overflow would be an issue. Are you planning to fill it to the top where a heavy rain would overtop the rim? That doesn't seem like it would be an erosion issue.
@@TractorTimewithTim they have alot of stuff also. I even take stuff out there to sell myself. They do seem to have a little bit different variety of things to sell.
I have bought mowers from both Auctions and they are comparable on pricing too each other. I did recently buy a sub compact tractor but not from either auction. I ended up buying a new one from rural king for less than it would have cost me for a used one at auction. So far it's been a very good experience.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="550">9:10</a> Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about the pond wall giving away and taking Tim with it???? Be safe.
We had a poor looking pond already. Had two choices…fill it in, or dig it out and make it nice. There is no ‘big deal’ about it. Just some visual interest, and fishing, etc.
When is a shovel a toy ? Speaking from much experience , never. A valuable tool, yes, but no toy. When is my 1025r backhoe a valuable tool ? Always. When is my 1025r a fun toy? Always . Conclusion, Shovel; one for two. 1025r Backhoe Two for Two. "Whistle while you work"
what about ggetting the ground fit like you think it should be let it rain on it and watch for places to pound up mark them with a flag let it dry some and then go after them with the power rake to touch them up people under rate sub and compact tractors way to much i have put many chins on the ground with mine
Pond? What pond? A pond has a dam built across a point of concentrated flow from a common watershed upstream. A pond impounds water. That is an excavated hole. Like a lagoon.
@@TractorTimewithTim No offense. It looks nice. You did express concerns with surface runoff actually draining into the reservoir. What ever grade flows in, it looks pretty shallow. Fescue sod is tough. Over time it could build up the lip preventing excess surface water from flowing in.
@@TractorTimewithTim It has enough range to tow 7,500 lb over 100miles on a charge, 150 you need to push it, with incredible power and finesse. The electric motors on the wheels compared to the traditional gear drive provides so much more control and it's a real joy to drive. I think they've come far enough now that it's worth the transition. It's a good jump from a typical 150 if you don't need the total towing power of the super duty
