I can’t think of a more relaxing thing to do with my tractor than to rototill a field, it just calms you down and gives you time to think about things and enjoy being on the tractor!
looks sweet! I had 105 clients this year for garden tilling using my 1025r just upgraded to a 2032r, used the 1025 for 3 years and fi ally decided to upgrade
I would charge $100 per hour Tractor cost divideded annual usage of 250 hours for 5-7 years Allow for insurance cost Fuel cost Annual maintenance cost You the operator can make a dollar or two
Good job Tim. My father was involved in the Lions Club. He raised about 400 pumpkins one year for a fund raiser. He loved working in his garden. Your neighbors are so lucky. Those kids was very lucky too. The lessons they learn in raising, harvesting, and selling to the general public is so valuable. We did just that at any early age too. We picked many a bushel of grey crowder beans and sold them to our local grocery store.
@@popefamily3629 Probably depends which side of the tiller you're standing. Forward means the rotor moves the same way as the wheels - it pushes you forward. Reverse means that it's dragging against the tractor, and dragging in and down.
Great work both tilling and from the videographer! St. Jude and the Shriners are some suggestions for donations. Several years ago I tilled a tenth of an acre at our church and we sold vegetables by donation. The money one year went to purchase 300 plus pairs of the Shoe that Grows and went out on several of our mission trips. Then we donated for a clean water well in Mozambique and then to Heifer International to buy livestock for villages in Africa. I like the Maschio tiller. I'm on my third tiller on my 1983 John Deere 650 tractor. I've had the 550 John Deere, the RT1150 Frontier made by Maschio, and just bought a new four foot RK Rural King made by King Kutter this year. I till gardens down south in Tennessee and Alabama from everything from sandy loam to red concrete clay. Keep the videos coming. God bless!
New here, wasnt sure who's video this was. i got it now, hey men, very well done. i really enjoyed watching this, God bless u, i know this was a year ago but im really glad i caught this, nice...
I pull a slip-clutch T5-56" Phoenix tiller (Sicma of Italy) with my 1025R (set to 7" depth). It is the largest I would consider. A thing of beauty and a great joy and time/labor saver after years (25?) with my trusty 6.5 Hp Troy Bilt Horse walk-behind tiller (identical to the one shown except I had a B&S 6.5 Hp swapped in 8 years ago). I do like that the wheel tracks are tilled up after a pass.
17:50 the slower you go and let the tiller drive you forward the finer the soil condition. 18:15 run the snake pattern tim, just like the video game centipede skip 2 rows do the 4th skip 5&6 and do 7 and hit the others on the way back with your 3 point turn on the easy to circle back side and your start point on the short fence side.
Just a wonderful and enjoyable video.. especially with your drone camera and the chit chat. Thanks for the tip on the Maschio .. Need to find a dealer locally.
Front tine walk behinds are the roughest to use. The rear tined walk behind tillers like Troy built work pretty easy. You can walk beside them using one hand to till.
This is really worth it. I have a hand tiller that I use after the rows are planted but it doesn't do as well as the tiller box on the tractor. Mine is a 52" Woods tiller that turns the dirt to powder, and you're right I don't need a 60". I have to put an electric fence around the garden after it comes up or I would use the tractor all the time.
Looks fun! Dad has a 6ft one in the barn at there place. It cleaning things out over there I need to grab it and check oil and grease it up. Wanting to fix us a bigger garden next year.. Years ago they had a garden the size of that last one you did here. Good video!!
Excellent video tilling and brush cutting are my favorite things to do with my tractors. Its makes you feel good when you do jobs like that when you get that extra return that you didn't know was coming that will for sure help some one or many others. Have a good one yall.
I really enjoy the drone views. Christy is getting really polished at setting up the shots with it. it would be an interesting video if somebody would do one of her doing her video productions of you working. I'll be she looks like a one-armed paper-hanger as she flies the drone and manages the ground shots! Also, could you do a video of the equipment she uses, including the drone? Can you tell that I fly drones, too? Such a great perspective that only a drone can give.
Love these Videos Tim!! I know very little about tractors. I love the results your tillers get when tilling. Very good seed bed. ,!! Andy Berne Indiana.
I could have done that with my rear tined walk behind tiller, but I would have been very sore and very tired. And it would not look as nice and smooth.
The Maschio tiller is amazing, does a great job plus that soil looked really rich. Hey Tim I finally got the Versa Turf for my BX...I’m impressed! the ride is different, feels like I have a suspension now 😉. Have a great weekend Tim and Christy 👍🏻
That dirt looks so rich. Unlike this Ga. clay. I prepped a yard just yesterday for sod. I used my 5’ Titan Tiller. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing.
I have the woods rt60 tiller on my 2025, and its all it wants. I did a garden the other day for my father in law and the soil was wet. But it did it pretty good. Impressed how well the 1025/2025 actually do.
17:30 mold board plows go way deeper bringing up more of the underlying clay and sand that was the original landscape before all the biodegraded plant and animal matter became over the top of it. i noticed this watching my grand parents plow their fields when i was little. you can see where the layer of mix is just by digging a shallow hole with a shovel 2 feet down. you will immediately see the soil color and texture change going from 4"-8" to 12" to 14-16" just by tilling implement used.
I've always wondered how the different tools were named. Both of my grandfathers were farmers (Nebraska and Kansas) and my parents grew up on the farms. WWII interfered and then they went into different careers than farming.
Tim, the tiller did a great job on the two plots of garden and it did not seem to have any problem tilling the soil, even with some rocks. You did a good job of tilling them.
I don’t mean to sound too picky, but I suggest you adjust the left-to-right level of the tiller. That way, you would avoid the ridges at every 48 inches.
@@TractorTimewithTim I guess I can live with the ridges, but it still bothers me to see the tiller going across the garden “lop-sided” (just a bit out of level)
This just convinces me I need turf tires. I swear I was on the edge of rolling my 755 with r1’s today pulling into an un tilled garden. Root clump on the left front, furrow between rows on my right rear. There wasn’t room to come in square. The r1s sank into the furrow. It took a few minutes of dragging the loader and tiller to get situated. After that row I could keep my left tires in tilled soil and the rights high enough on the old mound to be level and leave nice soil behind. For the final pass I had to shovel off the left edge
Tim you said you thought 48” was all you wanted. Is that because of the tractor weight or the HP. I have a 3025e and was thinking about a 60” to keep the wheel tracks clean. May have to get an offset model or upgrade tractor HP.
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks for the info. Im thinking I will give it a try and if it doesn’t do as well as hoped I may go up to a 5 series. Best wishes to you and the Mrs.
What a great job that tiller did. I can see I need one of those behind my 1025R. I can't imagine tilling that by hand. That would have been a huge job. Thanks for sharing and now I know what a goose gourd is.
I have run a 5ft tiller on our 2305 for many years now. The 3 pt lifts it fine, but I definitely need the loader on the front (don't have the suitcase weights). The 2305 handles it fine unless we get into wet clay, then it works it. It was originally purchased for a Kioti ck25, so I already had it, otherwise I would have gotten a 4ft tiller.
I tried to talk to the wife into a 1025r but had to end up with a x570 and building a homemade tiller and 3 point hitch for it (video on my channel)... how much wider is the 1025 vs x570? My x570 has made a far amount of money this season tilling gardens that the sub compact tractor guys couldn’t fit in. Good channel keep it up happy memorial day
small gravel rocks are actually good for gardens. there's alot of minerals trapped in them that get released with each tilling, plus they help keep the soil loose and make the dead fall break up better after harvest season. annoying to hear, more annoying to the paint damage and cowling damage they do, but i'll take them over mature tree roots every day of the week, i hate getting stuck and sucked down to china when one wraps around a tine and then the shaft. rocks come out easy, roots have to be unwound and or cut apart.
I would like to see a video on why you made the decision to buy that new maschio tiller when a lot of your previous videos you’re using a king cutter tiller I’d be interested to see why you decided to switch to further help me decide on whether I should purchase one or not.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks for your response I would like to get one but there’s nowhere near me that sells them and they want almost $600 just to ship one to me so I am thinking about maybe getting one of the 48 inch ideal models that have forward With reverse option on one attachment from good work tractors that at least has free shipping but I do like the weekend warrior it does seem very robust. I just don’t know if I can justify $600 in shipping
Maybe it is me, but I would be more comfortable using a tractor bigger than the 10 series. The main reason being is that I would like the power of a 20 series for the heavier jobs and the hydraulic lift capacity increase.
Thanks Christy and Tim! I have both Troy built horse and KK 48" on my 1025R, you are right, worlds of difference, Troy can get into tighter spaces & cultivating but KK does a great job in the more open areas. Had a fellow ask how much to till his small garden, I didn't know (and probably would have done it for free) but when pressed, told him about $40.00/hr. he declined and said too much! Oh well.......
Watching these tilling videos is so oddly satisfying. i have a playlist of all the tilling jobs you have done, and have it playing while i work. Its a great day when i can add another one to the list!
@@TractorTimewithTim the drone shots are indeed a great addition! i wish you had it when you did that 3 acre property, could have gotten some really long sweeping shots on that large property. Any chance you guys have a job coming up where, similar to the 3 acre video, you prep a yard for seed but actually do the harrowing and seeding as well? the Mrs and I just bought a big plot of land, I put an order in for a subcompact and I plan to do the whole thing start to finish myself. you guys are a big reason i decided to do it myself and not just hire someone!
@@TractorTimewithTim I never even thought about turning on my VPN, apparently some of your videos are shadow blocked in Canada? there are at least 3 I hadn't seen previously listed on your channel before!
Super wet and cold here in Ohio, but I do almost the same thing with my pumpkins. I grow them for the local kids. My reward is seeing them walk the patch and pick out what they want.
So I have really infertile soil, I live on the praire, a farmers trap back in the pioneer days. Its Neglected, full of weeds, and over grazed dry sandy clay loam. If you use a plow and mix in manure, will the tiller come in handy or will I be stuck with plowing until it's fertile soil?
"...plowing until it's fertile soil?" For goodness sake, DO NO PLOW OR TILL your soil! FYI plowing/tilling are the tools to build... DESERTS!! It's that simple! We have thousands of years of PROOF, all over the planet. Right in front of our eyes! The obvious slap us right on the face and no one seems to notice!! It's amazing how dummy we can be! Geez! Even on this video they mention what WE ALL KNOW. The lands that were left alone, were more productive than the ones tilled to death! So, how come this is a surprise? How can it be a surprise? Certainly it's not. We all know that lands ALL over the planet, inclusive where you are. Were more fertile before the "farmers" destroyed it! Those prairies included! Remember it passed from ever fertile land. That sustained literally millions of bison's and other fauna and flora. To totally depleted land (farmers) after just some years! Following into the "dust bowl"... You get the rather evident picture. ;-) Learn about the ECO (economical & ecological) simplicity of NO till, chop & drop, regenerative farming, etc. I just wrote two, of so many expressions that can literally change your life. And save you a ton of money, while at it, on "tilling" the soil to death! That is NOT a "farmers trap" if such, it would be a trap for ignorants! "Chop and drop" even what you call "weeds"! Keep a living root on the soil at all times! Mulch as much as you can! The results over the years are simply AMAZING! In case of doubts: On a small plot make a simple experiment. Replace the plow/tiller, by a simple lawn mower... Chop it and drop it, in place. The so called weeds (soil builders). Repeat when needed. Add seeds of your preference. In just a couple of years the results are damn obvious! ;-) Edit: Regarding the so precious water. Remember this at all times. The 3 S's ! - Slow, sink, spread. ;-) Cheers
Do some work for others…for free. Bid the project in your mind…for practice. You need lots of experience before you start charging folks for your work.
nrsario, I understand your feeling. My acre is mostly sand with some caliche clay mixed in with it. I have Bermuda Grass since it does very well in the very hot SW where I live. As far as I know, the sand here goes down over 600 feet at least. This is what happens when you have a desert left behind an ocean which dried up.
Welcome to our channel! We have hundreds of episodes to show you exactly what we think of the 1025r! In summary, it is incredibly useful. Excellent value!
The two gardens look wonderful after tilling them. It would be interesting to see the gourd garden in about a month to get a drone view of how the planting went and how there growing. That Tiller is a super tool. Great video everyone.
If you can tell me how to post a picture, happy to! So you know, we will put the vegetable garden in this weekend, but pumpkins/gourds we usually delay until early to mid June as we want the yields to start coming mid August for the stand.
I notice you usually take the FEL off and add the suitcase weights. Is that because the FEL is too heavy? I leave mine on as a place to put the rocks that I often find. Thanks Tim
We just started planting a bit of the front garden today (pepper and tomato plants ) and the soil was amazing to work with! Pumpkins and gourds in about 3 weeks! Thank you Tim, Christy, & Maschio!
If you are wanting us to till for you, contact us offline. If you are wanting a technique to set your own pricing, we have an episode on that. "How much do we charge?"

Hi, how much do you charge for tilling? Do you bid the job by the square foot or by the hour?
I would charge $100 per hour
Tractor cost divideded annual usage of 250 hours for 5-7 years
Allow for insurance cost
Fuel cost
Annual maintenance cost
You the operator can make a dollar or two
That guy you were working for tilling was a Real nice man. I say take 10% help some one who wonts a garden that cant do the work of tilling

Enjoyed the video. it seems this guy should have his own tractor with all that property and garden areas. 👍👍
Plant winter rye in the fall. Mow it in the spring and till it under in the spring. Your soil will improve immensely.
Just a wonderful and enjoyable video.. especially with your drone camera and the chit chat. Thanks for the tip on the Maschio .. Need to find a dealer locally.
Wish you all would go back and pay a visit to this guy's setup!
He is neighbor. Planning on tilling again this year for him…if we get time
Had an older neigh bor who took those goose gourds and dried them out and took a drill and hole saw and made birdnest out of them.
Front tine walk behinds are the roughest to use. The rear tined walk behind tillers like Troy built work pretty easy. You can walk beside them using one hand to till.
Looks good. You can always work that plot diagonally. We used to break corn fields that way. The ride is smoother.
I make anywhere from $85 (1 hour minimum) to $300 a job tilling. It's been a consistent money maker every may!
It would be nice to see a follow-up right before the Harvest on how well the garden looks from the Drone View
And right after they sprout.
This is really worth it. I have a hand tiller that I use after the rows are planted but it doesn't do as well as the tiller box on the tractor.

Really enjoyed this video, was kinda like getting back to the roots of TTWT with the garden.....now just need Katreal to narrate lol
that looks awesome Tim nice work
Good bit of kit, but theres no way you could do it by hand like that in 2 hours to that area.
Ain't that the truth
I was thinking maybe 2 hours a day for a week…
You do an amazing job tilling
It isn’t difficult, and it is LOTS of fun!
I love my 2032r
I made money this spring selling garden starter plants. Will be selling produce too, over 22 varieties of heirloom tomatoes for example.
Nothing better than a fresh tilled field !!
I could have done that with my rear tined walk behind tiller, but I would have been very sore and very tired. And it would not look as nice and smooth.
Id do that but my bankroll isnt their so well just do it with much less. Were adding pumpkins and melon
Great video and content!

I can't find any videos on the coffee can planting method. Could we get a videos about how to do that?
Glad to see there's great people like this out there 👍 God speed and God bless
Did you know that is how the harrow got it’s name. It’s a harrowing experience crossing a freshly plowed field.

Another great video. I really like that new tiller. I see one in my 1025’s future. 🤔
You should pull a Tom Sawyer. Instead of charging them to white wash the fence, charge them to take round on the tractor and tiller. ;-)
Hi from Africa. this is amazing. good job and i d lito do it also
I really wish I'd bought a rotary tiller with my tractor at 0 percent. They're so expensive but I really want one.
Tim you said you thought 48” was all you wanted. Is that because of the tractor weight or the HP. I have a 3025e and was thinking about a 60” to keep the wheel tracks clean. May have to get an offset model or upgrade tractor HP.

Had a fellow ask how much to till his small garden, I didn't know (and probably would have done it for free) but when pressed, told him about $40.00/hr. he declined and said too much! Oh well.......
Tilling is the least profitable thing we do for customers. They often think it should be free.
Also, I don’t recommend quoting by the hour.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you for the reply, didn't know how to quote, he kinda caught me "off guard" LOL Not planning to till for folks anyway.
Watching these tilling videos is so oddly satisfying. i have a playlist of all the tilling jobs you have done, and have it playing while i work. Its a great day when i can add another one to the list!
Cool! This one in particular is satisfying to me! The drone shots are soothing!
@@TractorTimewithTim the drone shots are indeed a great addition! i wish you had it when you did that 3 acre property, could have gotten some really long sweeping shots on that large property. Any chance you guys have a job coming up where, similar to the 3 acre video, you prep a yard for seed but actually do the harrowing and seeding as well?
the Mrs and I just bought a big plot of land, I put an order in for a subcompact and I plan to do the whole thing start to finish myself. you guys are a big reason i decided to do it myself and not just hire someone!
Had an episode like that less than a month ago. My sister’s house.
@@TractorTimewithTim I never even thought about turning on my VPN, apparently some of your videos are shadow blocked in Canada? there are at least 3 I hadn't seen previously listed on your channel before!
Hmm. Probably more than 3. Would encourage you to look through our video list. The notification system doesn’t work well in my opinion.
Super wet and cold here in Ohio, but I do almost the same thing with my pumpkins. I grow them for the local kids. My reward is seeing them walk the patch and pick out what they want.
Amazing topsoil!
Nice work! How big is that first plot?
Loved the video! What is the model number of the Maschio tiller?
It would be nice who really makes all the tillers? I just bought a Frontier tiller only to find out the it was made by Maschio.
Frontier doesn’t make ANYTHING. All Frontier product is made by 3rd parties.
In any case, your Maschio tiller is a good one. No reason for regret.
Thanks Tim, I didn’t realize that.
I'd like to suggest perhaps your prior church that lost their tractor barn. Maybe an implement or funds for replacement.
Fun video
I will be doing a pumpkin patch this fall
Tim Christi and friend your tiller looks great and works as well we must get our tiller out
God Bless All

So I have really infertile soil, I live on the praire, a farmers trap back in the pioneer days. Its Neglected, full of weeds, and over grazed dry sandy clay loam. If you use a plow and mix in manure, will the tiller come in handy or will I be stuck with plowing until it's fertile soil?
"...plowing until it's fertile soil?" For goodness sake, DO NO PLOW OR TILL your soil! FYI plowing/tilling are the tools to build... DESERTS!! It's that simple!
We have thousands of years of PROOF, all over the planet. Right in front of our eyes! The obvious slap us right on the face and no one seems to notice!!
It's amazing how dummy we can be! Geez!
Even on this video they mention what WE ALL KNOW. The lands that were left alone, were more productive than the ones tilled to death! So, how come this is a surprise? How can it be a surprise? Certainly it's not.
We all know that lands ALL over the planet, inclusive where you are. Were more fertile before the "farmers" destroyed it! Those prairies included! Remember it passed from ever fertile land. That sustained literally millions of bison's and other fauna and flora. To totally depleted land (farmers) after just some years! Following into the "dust bowl"... You get the rather evident picture. ;-)
Learn about the ECO (economical & ecological) simplicity of NO till, chop & drop, regenerative farming, etc. I just wrote two, of so many expressions that can literally change your life. And save you a ton of money, while at it, on "tilling" the soil to death!
That is NOT a "farmers trap" if such, it would be a trap for ignorants!
"Chop and drop" even what you call "weeds"! Keep a living root on the soil at all times! Mulch as much as you can! The results over the years are simply AMAZING!
In case of doubts: On a small plot make a simple experiment. Replace the plow/tiller, by a simple lawn mower... Chop it and drop it, in place. The so called weeds (soil builders). Repeat when needed. Add seeds of your preference. In just a couple of years the results are damn obvious! ;-)
Edit: Regarding the so precious water. Remember this at all times. The 3 S's !
- Slow, sink, spread. ;-)
Cheers
Tim, do you have any advice for someone wanting to start a tractor business? Love being on my tractor, would love to have a business doing that
Do some work for others…for free. Bid the project in your mind…for practice.
You need lots of experience before you start charging folks for your work.
Thanks Tim. I enjoy the videos.
Tim, how much weight do you have on the front of the John Deere for mulching?
For the tiller? I usually run 8x 42lb weights.
looks like a perfect tool but unless your tilling sand like material its worse form of tilling there is,
love the waythe tiller worked out
Donations are wonderful!!!
Thank you for sharing,
Where is that located, I would love to have black or dark brown soil instead of sand.
nrsario, I understand your feeling. My acre is mostly sand with some caliche clay mixed in with it. I have Bermuda Grass since it does very well in the very hot SW where I live. As far as I know, the sand here goes down over 600 feet at least. This is what happens when you have a desert left behind an ocean which dried up.

How do you like thec1025r??
Welcome to our channel! We have hundreds of episodes to show you exactly what we think of the 1025r!
In summary, it is incredibly useful. Excellent value!
Thoughts on 'no till' gardening?
If you figure out how to deal with the weeds, let everyone know.
@@TractorTimewithTim I thought no till was about preserving certain microbes, not weed management?
Yep. Unfortunately, weed management becomes an issue due to no till.
The main point of tillage is to control weeds.
The two gardens look wonderful after tilling them. It would be interesting to see the gourd garden in about a month to get a drone view of how the planting went and how there growing. That Tiller is a super tool. Great video everyone.
If you can tell me how to post a picture, happy to! So you know, we will put the vegetable garden in this weekend, but pumpkins/gourds we usually delay until early to mid June as we want the yields to start coming mid August for the stand.
@@shawnkeith465 I think that we will have to leave that to Tim to explain. You have a beautiful property Shawn.
Great episode. Isn't this the family that takes in foster children?
I don’t think so.
i hate how my Tiller makes the raised ridges . i need to make something that knocks them flat .
I suppose easy to drag a harrow behind it.
I notice you usually take the FEL off and add the suitcase weights. Is that because the FEL is too heavy? I leave mine on as a place to put the rocks that I often find. Thanks Tim
What kind of tiller do believe is a good on ? I'm have a 1023e AKA mighty moe
I use a Maschio 4 Ft. Yes, I think it is a x excellent! get it at agfolks.com use code ttwt for a 5% discount.
Thank you sir.. your videos has been a lot of help for me I actually enjoy watching them
@@johndeeregene5523 thanks for watching!
We just started planting a bit of the front garden today (pepper and tomato plants ) and the soil was amazing to work with! Pumpkins and gourds in about 3 weeks! Thank you Tim, Christy, & Maschio!
How much do you charge to till one acre?
If you are wanting us to till for you, contact us offline.
If you are wanting a technique to set your own pricing, we have an episode on that. "How much do we charge?"
