Wow what a difference! The weather has been a blessing without the typical Indiana summer humidity, still that is no small feat with only the two of you!
They make lynch pin shields, if you can find them in the size you need. They're basically a piece of steel that goes over the pin on the implement, before the lynch pin is inserted, that are bent to keep things (sticks, cornstalks, etc...) from getting behind the lynch pin and opening it.
Yea! Worked most of the day to drag them out there. The only reason they were strung out so far is that it was easier to do that than to pile them by hand. The grapple then made light work of it!
After watching this initially, I had to go back in the archives to find the one with Kenton and Glenn when you each paired the MP348 with higher PTO HP tractors. I'm just as impressed with this mulcher as I was after that one. I hope the phone company is also giving you a good deal on your phone/internet service also for all you're doing for them. When you mentioned about having a chipper, I thought it would've been neat to see those chips for a grass seeding, or on the garden at the end of the growing season.
Hey, I didn't take it as an advertisement! The fact is good quality tools make jobs go faster. I could tell that you were definitely tired. Thanks for another great video!
The tower episodes really show how much work you guys have done and are enjoyable to watch. You’re absolutely right about the Stihl products too. Their power to weight is great. I have a couple of their battery-powered cutting tools and they are hard to beat.
You’re very brave. And tough. That much poison ivy is daunting….. miserable stuff to work around. All the tools get contaminated and cleaning the sap off can be a lot of work. Agree re battery tools mostly. One great advantage re the chainsaws is noise reduction. I hope you didn’t get burned with the ivy….. the sap is the gift that keeps on giving. I highly recommend Advanced Care Pedialyte for working in hot weather. And Hammer Endurolytes Extreme capsules. If you get cramps later, you need more electrolytes.
Wow, your excitement towards doing this job was almost overwhelming, I could feel it coming through the monitor! 😉😄 Yeah, too bad you lost your young help. Being a boss is a lot easier on an old guy than being the labor.
Great Video . If you decide to burn that stuff be careful if you have any of that Poison ivy , poison oak , and poison sumac The smoke from it is just as bad if you rub it on your skin. Don't stand in the smoke
Tim, you might consider a backup camera. Well actually a rear view camera since it’s always on. It will let you eliminate a lot of the turning around to look.
Hello Tim and Christy, I heard you mention wanting a wood chipper. While this one is not green, I bought one of these 2 years ago and use mine almost every weekend. I absolutely love the convenience of it. Great job on the clean up! Cheers!
Too bad you didn't get to show all the manual labor you two did. It would have been a great time lapse of all the trips in and out the gates and all those trees, a little beyond saplings IMO, coming down around the building. The only tip I would give for a similar project is to have your poison available when you cut the vines and trees to treat the stumps and stop regrowth. Those mulchers are awesome.
Tim, install a set of cab mirrors and you will not have to twist around and strain to see whats going on with any rear attached implement. I put a set on my 3033R/Cab and its made my life so much easier, especially when brush cutting in reverse. Also, considering a camera on back of the cab. Hi from Virginia.
They also make a black lynch pin that has a MUCH stiffer pin. I use them on everything now. Just don't let them flip over and catch your finger or thumb because it hurts! For brush/trees that size, we've found that a large straight shaft weed eater (+30cc) with a 9" forester brush blade (the one with chainsaw teath) works fantastic. Not sure it would have been a great idea with all the poison ivy around, but it will make VERY short work of a 3" tree.
I can relate. My Kubota L2350F now has a bent PTO shaft and broken hub because the lower key came out and the arm went into the spinning PTO. I need to replace the PTO shaft and split my tractor in half to get to the cam clutch to get the locking clip off. This might be a multi month project getting used PTO shaft. The owner before me removed the safety shroud. Not sure if that would have made a difference. A new type of locking pin seems to be needed.
Good help is hard to come by, however, don’t give up on looking for that special person who is willing to be an asset and not a hinderance. I’m sure you’re able to find some good young men and woman to help from all your church connections. I do love that attachment, it’s a beast and very capable for smaller machines.
Tim when you spray the poison ivy again add some kerosene or a little diesel in the mix that way your spray will stay on the leaves or plants and really helps stick to the leaves! I had a friend who worked with me years ago tell me about the mix for poison ivy. He worked on a tree crew and I was an operator on a highway crew. We both had worked for NYSDOT in New York State! It will actually kill the stuff and for good too!
Oh man guy’s! Sorry you lost your helpers. It definitely changes your approach on the job. I wish I lived closer so I could of held the camera while you guys worked! 😳😂 I always enjoy watching big Green getting a workout.
When worried about the flip ring key pins flipping the ring and falling out. Wrap a wire around ring to the key, Scraps of insulated copper wire is nice to work with.
For an application like that I would probably use a bolt and lock nut instead of the snap keys. It's more of a pain during hookup, but it won't come loose. That's what I use on the furrow side of the oliver semi mount plow because that one always gets torn out
You sure know how to have fun...I love that tractor. My 2025 was nice but often reach its power limit mowing thick brush and even running a PTO driven chipper/shredder. Your wife is spot on, that attachment sure beats feeding a chipper by hand.
every time you stall the engine under load you run the risk of a catastrophic engine failure, you can also damage the turbo. The more times you do it the greater the risk. The engine and turbo do not have full oil pressure and flow when the engine stalls under heavy load. Try a basal oil and 2-4-d mix sprayed on the stumps and base of the brush you cut it works really well.
What will you do or use to clean up the mulched up left overs to be able to cut grass there. If that’s what you will be doing. And just guessing why the tractor quits is, the governor can’t respond quick enough to the all off a sudden jam. Great video, sure liked watching. To bad about the help not showing up.
I’m not a huge fan of PTO driven chippers used on small tractors, or any tractors for that matter. It puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the engine and creates small stress fractures in the engine block when it locks up or clogs and bogs down or abruptly stops the engine. I prefer using commercial sized chippers with built in engines. You can rent one for the weekend and then you can use your tractor to load, remove and spread the chips.
Tim, best part of your videos is they show the reality of working with machines. Not often you go through the whole day without some sort of problem. Also, Courtney GWT totally wrong… Everyone needs MORE POWER
Your right that mulcher is a beast. We have an implement that loses them pins all the time. Ended up putting a bolt through where the linch pin goes and double nut it. Haven't had a problem since.
I've watched Tony's Tractor Adventures, and he runs the Baumalite mulcher as well, I can't remember the size, but he has it set so low that he tills up the dirt as well. I noticed that you don't. I commented Tony about tilling up the dirt, and he said that's the way it is run. What do you think.
@@richardweihert6233 we have a chipper in house now. We did LOTS of research on this. We will share our research, the specs we identified as most important and a 5% discount on our choice in a video coming the first week of September. I did more research on this choice than any other product in a LONG time! One of the keys for me is the flywheel size and speed.
@@TractorTimewithTim That is a lot of the reason that I look towards your videos!!!! I have seen a few videos on the woodland mills, but really value your information! Keep up the good work, Please.
What about the T pin to go through and a larger pin that you would use on a trailer? It works well on some of our applications and definitely holds better than those spring ones.
Wow that is a lot of work! Nice job though, looks a lot better. I suppose all that poison ivy makes a great deterrent to fence climbers! Or a lot of regret... (Great drone footage by the way!)
Amazing the tower owners let it get that bad! That’s not a year of neglect, that’s YEARS of neglect!! You’re right about employees also, I am the same and just do whatever myself so I don’t have to rely on anyone but me.
Don’t remember any of your videos with different spray rigs for smaller atvs and tractors. The really cheap sprayers don’t last , would love to see a comparison of those and smaller three point systems
I do a lot of tree work around my land and my grapple has spoiled me especially when it comes to moving brush so I feel your pain moving all that stuff by hand
i think i said it on your channel before ... tractors are like chain saws ... once you have one, you find you need 2 chipper extractions! thanks for sharing
Ya gotta think about when spending this much on a tractor, do you really need a tractor or should you buy a tracked skid loader. You mentioned about getting into skid steer HP range but the tractor is still lacking in the hydraulic flow rate. Looking at comparable skid steers with high flow, there about the same price as that tractor… and the skid steers already come with loaders for no extra cost. The real useful places this specific tractor has on the market are very specialized and limited. I don’t see Deere continuing to make these for long, because I doubt many people will buy them after the hype dies down.
Tim now that you have a hole into tower 3 with one of your sprayers mix up a batch of roundup and 24D and spray the foliage to neutralize the poison oak and ivy and you might want to look at getting a spider lift one that goes taller than the tallest tree species in your area cmc lifts have a battery and diesel power lift the lift let’s you work of the batteries if you run out of fuel or if your working indoors it also lets you go through a 36 inch gate
Using a mix of Glyphosate and Triclopyr will do wonders and will kill everything. I like Crossroad (aka Crossbow) which is Triclopyr and 2,4-D as it can be use to kill woody broadleaf plants and not kill grass in fence rows and pastures.
Tim, tractor supply sells a black colored spring/lynch pin that is a lot strong spring action. I started using them a couple years ago. Haven't had one come out yet.
we have had to do the same kind of clearing around some old farm buildings. Hot here in Texas and exhausted by noon. Good job on the poison ivy. I did the same and then dressed for removing it in 'full armor' and instantly changed clothes, washed them twice, and showered. I am sensitive to PIvy and POak now and it takes just a smidgen to make your life miserable.
I’ll bet you didn’t stay up long that night after the day you had. What a job for you two let alone doing a video! Sure looks great afterwards, and as it turns out, probably far better off using the Brush Mulcher than a wood chipper. Blessings.
It’s very frustrating when last minute cancellations of help occur. My business was the most profitable when it was just me doing the work…I feel that! Good video! I have one of the split fire PTO chippers and love it on my 3 series.
Is that a precision grapple? What are the specs and are you happy with it? Edit: Grammar & I saw the specs and ad for it near the end of the video. Thanks again for showing us what these attachments are capable of and without any bias. You both have earned a well earned vacation after this job.
The difference between tractor power and skid steer etc is PTO vs hydraulic drive. PTO with mulchers or bush hog shredders may have slip clutches to protect the drive line but they still transfer shock back thru the transmission to the engine block. Hydraulic drive absorbs that shock thru the fluid. Much easier on the skid steer.
I don’t believe I’d run that mulcher on a grand L hydrostatic kubota after watching some of the stuff that was shooting out from under your tractor. The hydraulic filters on a kubota would be completely destroyed.
Work for a small excavator with a quality mulching head. Love you guys but are ya surprised that young temp help bailed on dealing with poison ivy?…. 🤷🏼♂️
Tim, you guys should investigate getting your Applicator's License so you can get the "good stuff" so you can kill that nasty stuff dead before you try and handle it. Paraquat is an excellent herbicide if handled right.
Stihl chainsaws are what I make my money with! Echo is my second choice, and yes my opinion is absolutely biased from a lifetime of running powersaws. Also, there's not much more irritating to me than someone not keeping commitments, to say nothing of promises. Those tower properties sure look good once y'all get at them though.
Tim, forgive me I have been away for a bit. When did you get the new truck? Last one I saw was red, now seeing a dark color Ford. Anyway glad to be back watching.
We use R clips. Those big pins that look like a R. Knock them all the way down and they’re not coming off. We use an old screwdriver and pliers to get them out.
Good video. I feel for you on a job like that. As always I really like all the drone footage and the added footage at the ends showing how you land it and etc.
Wow what a difference! The weather has been a blessing without the typical Indiana summer humidity, still that is no small feat with only the two of you!
Outstanding job Tim and Christy. Your willing heart of service does come back. God gives the blessing and addeth no sorrow with it.
They make lynch pin shields, if you can find them in the size you need. They're basically a piece of steel that goes over the pin on the implement, before the lynch pin is inserted, that are bent to keep things (sticks, cornstalks, etc...) from getting behind the lynch pin and opening it.
All that time to drag those branches into piles, and the grapple picks them up in about five seconds. Wow! Amazing!!
Yea!
Worked most of the day to drag them out there. The only reason they were strung out so far is that it was easier to do that than to pile them by hand.
The grapple then made light work of it!
Great work Tim & Christy, that was a big job! A lot accomplished between the two of you, looks much nicer around the building!

A front PTO and 3-point on a compact tractor would be the cat's meow for stuff like snowblowers and mulchers.
The thing is the older you get the worse it gets. I find that out everyday. Thank goodness for equipment to help us. 👍

Hey Tim and Christy. Spray the leftover stumps with Tordon, same for the poison ivy.
I love what you guys doing yardwork Diane is it OK biggest more workers but I’m on my power chainsaw to wear a battery pack❤❤❤❤❤❤

Use a cotter pin and really shove it on there past the regular stops until you get it on the hoop side. Good luck bumping that out accidentally :)

Since you are so sensitive, remember you can still get infected couple of years later, since the oils don't break down. Don't burn!
👍👍
Good job and LOTS of work! Be cautious still with dry poison ivy. The plant oil that remains can mess with you quite easily.
We have a WoodMaxx chipper we use on our LX2610. USA made, and highly recommended. Power feed makes chipping a lot easier.
every time you stall the engine under load you run the risk of a catastrophic engine failure, you can also damage the turbo. The more times you do it the greater the risk.

Wow, old boy, that was a lot of work.
Triclopyr. The “crossbow” you spray on the yard.
Is great woody brush for poison Ivy. I use it to control it on my 5 acres for the kids to play safe.
Tim now that you have a hole into tower 3 with one of your sprayers mix up a batch of roundup and 24D and spray the foliage to neutralize the poison oak and ivy and you might want to look at getting a spider lift one that goes taller than the tallest tree species in your area cmc lifts have a battery and diesel power lift the lift let’s you work of the batteries if you run out of fuel or if your working indoors it also lets you go through a 36 inch gate

Tim, tractor supply sells a black colored spring/lynch pin that is a lot strong spring action. I started using them a couple years ago. Haven't had one come out yet.
we have had to do the same kind of clearing around some old farm buildings. Hot here in Texas and exhausted by noon.
Good job on the poison ivy. I did the same and then dressed for removing it in 'full armor' and instantly changed clothes, washed them twice, and showered. I am sensitive to PIvy and POak now and it takes just a smidgen to make your life miserable.
It’s been a miserable week :-(
I’ll bet you didn’t stay up long that night after the day you had. What a job for you two let alone doing a video! Sure looks great afterwards, and as it turns out, probably far better off using the Brush Mulcher than a wood chipper. Blessings.
I shoulda called you!
Even if y'all didn't get as much done as desired it still looks tremendously better
I would be interested in a pto chipper review/video been wanting one for a long time.
We will be having one soon. ...believe it or not! I have researched this at length, and chosen what I believe is by far the best value.
@@TractorTimewithTim Awesome, can't wait to see your findings!
Put a bunch of linch pins in your toolbox. In or around wood and brush you will need them.
One can hope that the branch that removed that clip got it's finger snapped like sometimes happens when you are removing or attaching one.
It’s very frustrating when last minute cancellations of help occur. My business was the most profitable when it was just me doing the work…I feel that! Good video! I have one of the split fire PTO chippers and love it on my 3 series.
Have you thought about testing a front mount bush hog and as 3pt hitch power pack?
Great video. I enjoyed the progress in stages.
Is that a precision grapple? What are the specs and are you happy with it?
Edit: Grammar & I saw the specs and ad for it near the end of the video. Thanks again for showing us what these attachments are capable of and without any bias. You both have earned a well earned vacation after this job.
Can you take and push brush over with loader then mulch. Maybe can see better? Always a judge. Hard work there guys
The difference between tractor power and skid steer etc is PTO vs hydraulic drive. PTO with mulchers or bush hog shredders may have slip clutches to protect the drive line but they still transfer shock back thru the transmission to the engine block.

Work for a small excavator with a quality mulching head.
Love you guys but are ya surprised that young temp help bailed on dealing with poison ivy?…. 🤷🏼♂️
After you cut the trees around the building, do you put Tordon on the stumps?
We did, yes. Will be interesting to see if it works.

Iv used your common hitch pin/R pin and then used fencing wire to wire them shut and that has worked for me lol
Boy....a mini-excavator with a thumb would be great for that job.
Tip my cap to you and Christy for hanging in there on a tough job, especially with poison ivy hanging everywhere.
maybe tempt your help with food, [will work for food] 😊

Demonstration aside, would you ever leave the piles somewhere for wildlife habitats?
Not on one of these tower properties if I can help it. Sprouts grow up there, making a mess
Will you all use the mulcher at tower project #2 with thise over grown areas
There are two brush piles there.
Yes, would be nice to mulch some of those.
