What a tease a 3 series Deere my dream tractor and we don’t even get to see it work gonna be sitting on the edge of my seat till the the next episode I can’t wait to see that 3039r mow
Wranglerstar has a video about his rhino mower, they went to the factory and showed how durable they are. These are some strong mowers and super tough!! Great video.
Great tip for the rear pto. I always struggle with dads 2032, whenever we switch over to mowing in the spring. I'll have to try that little trick! Thanks Tim!
When i was carrying silage wagons for my uncle i had the idea to put the pin between the tractor and the wagon upside down like your father;i would then install the locking pin attached to a twine cord hooked from the back of the seat .I would then drive the empty wagon beside the silage harvester,pull out the locking pin, unhooked it there and go pick up the other full wagon;this would save one time going off the tractor to unhook!
Rhino makes some good tough equipment. Our older 15' Rhino mower has those leveling rods too. Good feature even though it makes it a little tougher to hook & unhook the mower (@ least for us @ times). I usually don't even use the jack though & just put blocks underneath the front skid plates on the main deck. Then hook up the main hydraulic line & use the hydraulics to line up the hitches when i'm hooking up & unhooking. Has worked great so far. & as far as the pto & turning, the best advice I know to not break it is just to listen to it as you turn. If it starts rattling, then you've reached the maximum turning radius you should be at. On our equipment about 45 degrees is as far as you want to be for pto equipment. Of course we run older equipment, so that be a factor. lol
Excellent video Tim (and Kevin).. the only time I don't like my iMatch is when hooking up to the draw bar. It is great to see the amount of adjustability in that cutter, cannot wait for the rest of the episodes.
My grandfather always ran the bolt “upside down” to 1) protect the threads and 2) prevent a bend in the bolt, which would also, prevent easy removal later.
Interesting. I’ve never had a draw pin come out. I’ve had the dirt knock out the safety clip out the bottom of them. And have sometimes put a draw pin in upside down with a safety pin on top so that the dirt won’t knock it out.
I have. ...as a teenager, going down the road with a 24’ hydraulic fold disk on an IH1466. I looked behind me and the disk was going crazy. I slowed down, and the hydraulic hoses all came unplugged, and the disk passed me, and ended up in the opposite ditch. Good thing there were no oncoming cars! I am not kidding. Woke me up!
You may add mind reader to your resume.. Thank You for an excellent video. I have been researching flex wing mowers and your video came just at the right time. I am between Rhino TS 12 and Woods BW 12. The Rhino 12 has the different hitch that swings for sharp corners. Woods does have a Dare to Compare on there website and list most of the Flex Wing Mowers side by side specs which is nice. Next question. Are you opening a tractor Toys Park anytime soon. You know pay to play and bring your own tractor to try different equipment out. They do Have Construction Equipment park in Texas somewhere. Airplane Simulators Park in Ca. and now you can have Tim's Tractor Time Compact Tractor Play Toys Park.
that joint is called a "double cardan joint" its purpose it to be more flexible then a normal uni-joint. with normal uni-joints the pivot / hitch point should be in the middle of the tractors PTO output and implements PTO input with out getting in to the complexities when 2 uni-jounts are on a shaft if they turn at different angels it will give an oscillating speed output and cause vibration in the implement the hitch point has to be in the middle to make sure both uni's are turning at the same angle. the double cardan joint is more or less an intermediate PTO shaft before the main one that has a mechanism to keep both ends of the double cardan joint at the same angle thus eliminates the oscillating speed and allows for much higher operating angles and allows the hitch point to be much closer to the tractor making it easier to maneuver and have a higher hitch load. if that where a normal uni-joint that tractors draw-bar would have to be a almost a foot longer or you would destroy that mowers gear box. hears a clip that shows the oscillating speed i am talking about th-cam.com/video/Idk3BVDVHq4/w-d-xo.html
Hey Tim, that flip over bar is there so you don't have to use as many collars and when you need to set the mower down simply flip up the bar. Thanks for all your video's.
Really appreciate your videos. I have a Deere 3520. Just purchased a TS10 and it is set-up with two hydraulic lines. Just as seen in the video, would like to use the loader hydraulic connects to operate the cutter features. Could you provide details about your recommendations for hydraulic extension hoses - Diameter, length and coupler sizes. Thank you much!
Get the ‘power beyond extension kit’ from DiscountHydraulicHose.com/ttwt Substitute 96” hoses instead of 60”. And add 2x 5502-08-08 elbows to make the bend better at the mid connectors. Don’t forget code ttwt for a 5% discount.
To bad ran out of time when Kenton and I were up doing the Baumalight brush testing on the 40 HP tractors. I know we talked possibly hooking up the TS 10
So with this mower there’s 3 clutches you should loosen and spin to make sure they’re not rusted, and re-tighten, in addition to the 127 grease fittings every time you get it out of storage?
Now I'm wondering if I've been short changing my Rhino Apex 3150. It only has three grease zerks per shaft. One on each u-joint and one on the shaft or CV joint on the main shaft.
2 of them are on the plastic shields. Double check the CB...it has 4 fittings on it I think. Seemed like 8-9 total on the shaft. There is a ‘map’ on the side of the shaft showing how to find all of them.
I watched several of your TS10 videos before getting one of my own. I got it today. I’m new to tractors so still learning. The hydraulic hose is too short and I bought a 4’ hose and fittings to extend it but there is so much pressure in the hoses that I think it will make a big mess when I take the coupler off. At what position will there be the least amount of hydraulic pressure in the hoses? All the way down? Right now it is folded and all the way up and the pressure is so high that I can’t even hook it up to the tractor without great effort. Likewise, in what position should the mower be stored so that it’s not so hard to hook up the fittings when I’m ready to mow? Is it correct that if I get the three-function hose kit that I can mow narrower areas by folding one wing up and mowing with the other two?
First, congratulations! The wings have a safety latch which can help take the pressure off. Make sure those safety brackets are connected. Also, there is a latch on the center cylinder. Fold it over to hold the center up. Then loosen the fitting to release the pressure. For storage, either use the safety straps and cylinder block I mentioned, or store it all the way down. Simply stated, if the cylinders are holding anything up, the lines will have pressure. Does that help?
@@TractorTimewithTim I think so. By safety latch do you mean the transport bar/latch? If so then it makes sense. Essentially put in travel mode and drop the hydraulics all the way down to take the pressure off? Since I will be introducing 48” of air into the system do I need to bleed it after I’m done? If yes, how?
@@roblancaster2036 no need to worry about bleeding system. Removing pressure means cylinder isn’t holding any weight. You can remove pressure using any technique which accomplishes that.
Hey Tim, what's the best way to send you a message? I sent you one on fb messenger the other day. I have an idea for something an want your opinion and maybe if it's something you like you could be in on it.
Tim, I'm interested in a Rhino TS10. I have 3 rear remotes, with one that has a continuous flow. is that the remote to use to let the wings float? What is your opinion or knowledge on this?
I really want to hear how it works with your LX3310. I have a LX2610 and am considering getting a TS10 to pull behind in for smaller properties (1-4 acre) we maintain instead of taking our 100+ HP tractors & 15ft bat wings or our ZTRs. A little LX & TS10 I’m thinking might fit on a 20 ft trailer & would be much easier to haul around in Dallas traffic vs one of our 36 or 40 ft deck over gneck trailers with the big tractors. These properties are a little large for one guy to knock out quickly with the ztr, which has me considering the TS10. We mow them once per month, so they typically wont be very tall/thick. I know the LX2610 would be a little light on HP but wondering how it would handle the TS10 in these conditions. Thoughts?
Not optimistic about a 2610 on it. Also, not sure it will fit on 20’. Wheels are way back there! I think you would be happier with an L4060 with cab. I think the 3046r would be the perfect tractor for this mower.
Grease is spelled with an "S". Therefore regardless of how its used in a sentence, I pronounce the word with an "S" as it is spelled. "Greezing" is for uneducated hillbillies! And while we're on the subject a synonym for a "grease fitting" is zerk, not zert. K not T. This point is moot, not mute. I can't wait for part II of the video!
Put me in the uneducated hillbilly camp. After seeing how the so called educated intellectual types act and think, I’m happy to be in the hillbilly camp.
Tim, your yard looks like an implement dealer...ever have anyone stop in looking to buy something? 😉
See what happens to the Batwing next week. Same bat time, same bat channel.
I really love that mower, I can see one of those behind my Massey Ferguson 1740M in the future, and the red will match just fine.
I was so excited to see the 3039R on this mower because I have a 3039R. I do hope you are going to show it mowing a little more. I enjoy your videos.
Aw, man! This cliffhanger ranks right up there with “who shot J.R.?”!!!
I regret that I am old enough to appreciate that reference.
Wow, Curt! Can’t believe you are THAT young!?!
Dallas.
@@curtwhite876 how about“when they say who shot JR, it won’t be Dallas”
Does that ring a bell?
He put the bolt in from the bottom because he put it from the top one time, hit a rock which damaged the thread and he couldn’t get the nut off.
Enjoyed seeing more detail on the Rhino...now, look forward to seeing it in action....next time on TTWT! Blessings.
What a tease a 3 series Deere my dream tractor and we don’t even get to see it work gonna be sitting on the edge of my seat till the the next episode I can’t wait to see that 3039r mow

Yep. Also check out ‘How Farms Work’ for more Rhino videos!
Perfect TTWT been waiting to get more info on that batwing! Thank you
Can’t wait for part two
Boy that quick hitch sure is in the way.
Yep
I do hate to be continued, but it does give something to look forward to. Great video!
Being in the market for a 12 foot flex wing, I would love to see a comparison with the Woods and the Bush Hog.
Yep Kevin looks like a movie star now. Great video and info Tim and Christy. Be waiting for the next episode. Love that mower👍
Great tip for the rear pto. I always struggle with dads 2032, whenever we switch over to mowing in the spring. I'll have to try that little trick! Thanks Tim!

Hi Tim and Christy nice video looking forward to part two
Tim,
You sound a little short on air.
Take care of yourself. Your my hero with all those attachments.
Nope. Feelin great. May be because we keep the mics close to our mouths.....to be able hear over the tractor noise.
Love this mower!!!
Good stuff, I'm hoping to upgrade to a Rhino. Thanks
Great video Tim yes I dislike to be continued, I like to keep on gittin while I'm gittin. Haha thanks for sharing
That's a nice flex wing mower!
My grandfather always ran the bolt “upside down” to 1) protect the threads and 2) prevent a bend in the bolt, which would also, prevent easy removal later.
What bolt? Don’t you use a draw pin?
No. We use a bolt with double nuts to ensure that it does not come out. I believe this is directed in the manual.
Interesting. I’ve never had a draw pin come out. I’ve had the dirt knock out the safety clip out the bottom of them. And have sometimes put a draw pin in upside down with a safety pin on top so that the dirt won’t knock it out.

Looked like it might have cost a kitty if he had engaged the PTO instead of lifting the mower. That is one heck of an implement.
Ha! Yep!

No, the flip over bar is to lock it at full height.
@@TractorTimewithTim I stand corrected. Thank you.
I want to see the 3D series paired up with that implement
Not a good match due to geared transmission and non independent PTO.
We put the nut on the top so the operator could look back to make sure it wasn't unthreading. No safety pins in those days!

To bad ran out of time when Kenton and I were up doing the Baumalight brush testing on the 40 HP tractors. I know we talked possibly hooking up the TS 10
Yep. Woulda been good to see your machine on the TS10.
Tim, how do you like the 3039R vs the 2038R Is it worth the extra money, do you see any problems with it? Love your channel.
Great video
Wide angle UV joint allows 70 degrees as long as it is double knuckle
That's a light wee shaft try a 6 foot one on a baler
Putting in bolts from the bottom make it easier to drive out with a punch if you have to.
Why did you use a bolt instead of a pin?
Double nut ensures that it will not come out.
I believe the manual calls for this.
The double nut makes sense vs a pin which the safety clip could catch on something and pop out and then the pin and loose machine
So with this mower there’s 3 clutches you should loosen and spin to make sure they’re not rusted, and re-tighten, in addition to the 127 grease fittings every time you get it out of storage?
It is not trivial.
Same Bat time, Same Bat channel...
Looking at one as well
Dad always told me if you put the but on top ,the but will not vibrate loose. But if it did come loose you could see it and not lose the but.
I haven't seen any multi-spindle mowers that don't have leveling rods.
Showed photo of one in this episode.
I really enjoy your channel and respect you but if that was a Titan 3515 it has 2 leveling rods.
Maybe I was wrong. Has happened many times before.
Any info on knowing what would be transport length in this set up?
Fits on my 28’ trailer, even with the loader on the tractor.
Now I'm wondering if I've been short changing my Rhino Apex 3150. It only has three grease zerks per shaft. One on each u-joint and one on the shaft or CV joint on the main shaft.

Welcome to our channel! Thanks for watching!
Do you know what 3rd function he is using???? Thanks Tim
The factory standard rear third scv. Hoses routed from rear to front.
Thank you.
Is the 14" minimum distance requirement measured from the base of the PTO shaft or the end of the PTO shaft?
End (tip) of the pto shaft to center of drawbar pin.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you sir.
Hey Tim, what's the best way to send you a message? I sent you one on fb messenger the other day. I have an idea for something an want your opinion and maybe if it's something you like you could be in on it.
It's so they can be driven out if stuck.
Tim question will our x394 with a 22 hp Kawasaki engine and a 48 inch deck handle thick grass?
It should.
Tim, I'm interested in a Rhino TS10. I have 3 rear remotes, with one that has a continuous flow. is that the remote to use to let the wings float? What is your opinion or knowledge on this?
No need for continuous flow. Usually float is a separate feature. You likely have it. Consult your owner’s manual.
@@TractorTimewithTim the only float position (that isn't operating correctly) is on the loader circuit.
Maybe talk to the Rhino dealer. Perhaps they have some advice. Or perhaps your tractor dealer.

That's a whole lot of mower for a 38 hp tractor.
Yep. Think it will handle it?

It looks like a lot of mower for a 40ish Hp tractor... just saying
Breaking the mold. 3 spindles pull much easier than a single spindle. We’ll show you next episode.
I wonder how that ts10 would run on my mahindra 2615? Lol
40 acres. Nobody got the reference to the song.
Yes, we got it. Just didn’t take the time to reference it. Give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this rig around...it’s the only way that I know!
I don't greeze anything. I lube things.
Spoil sport :-). Just kidding. Never heard someone say they need to ‘lube’ the tractor.
We say it like "I have to put some grease on the mower fittings."
