Tim, you really do make me want to retire from my industrial electrician job and spend me days working from me tractor. I hope you know how well the Lord has Blessed you. There’s a ton of aggravations getting equipment to and from jobs and all the maintenance on the equipment (I was self-employed as an electrician for years so I have some experience with all that) but, in the end it is something I long for again. I live the life vicariously through your videos! Thanks for all you and Ms. Christy do to bring these videos to us!
Ah, but what IF there is a heaven and hell? What IF the Bible is true? What if there IS eternal life and eternal damnation? Our recent trip to Israel certainly made the Bible seem 'more real'. Definitely not a fairy tale!
I can’t believe it! I’m from Iowa and I attended Oil Bent each year while growing up between about 1981-82 till about 1989 very found memories. My uncle Howard Newlin was a very popular preacher in that area. God Bless you!
I used to love going to vacation bible school when I was young its good to get to learn about Jesus and make new friends your own age God bless you for helping them.
Awesome project Tim & Christy!!.. Great to see Tom & Randall back in action, as well!!.. You all did a wonderful job for such a great organization!!.. May God bless you all!!.. Have a great week..😉🙏
That episode reminded me of the camp I attended as a child. Camp Elim up by Woodland Park Colorado. It is amazing how much impact these types of camps have on kids as they begin and even continue their journey with the Lord. It has been 30 years since I attended my church camp an yet every trip I take to Colorado, I find an excuse to run by the camp and see what has changed and what is the same.
Super scientific.We used to just wait for big rain, then drag from the dry knobs into the mudholes. Love your camerawork. Very professional video. Thanks.
It’s always fun time when you work with family to get a project done in honor of your dad. Thanks for bring us along. I attended a church camp over by Kentucky Lake. Those where very special times.
Great video Tim! Thanks for highlighting the importance and blessing of Christian church camp in the midst of your project video. So many kids like you and me were fortunate to have that life changing experience. Mine was Timberlee in Troy, WI. My kids went to Horton Haven in TN and the “fuge” camps in GA and KY. Send a kid to a good church camp!
Good video. Grew up in Browns, IL. I went to oil belt. The group of independent churches I think are the answer to why this is amazing. Just good humble country people doing work for God.
Wow, what an operation! One had to see it to believe it. Once again goes to prove how much work can be done with smaller equipment, willing hands, and the Lord’s guidance. Very impressive. Thanks for explaining how you planned it and the grade determination etc. Interesting and informative. Neat to see the follow up on the seeding as well. Outstanding! Blessings to the Oil Belt camp and all the willing hands.
I need to invest in a new box blade given my long drive and roadways around the farm I am leaning on the towable kind. Great video Tim was fun to watch
This was an awesome video. I liked watching 3 tractors working together and y’all having fun doing it. Great job with the videoing also, the overhead shot were great
My family comes from Mount Carmel, IL and we had several oil wells around on aunt's and uncle's properties. Great video to the Marks and all their fine work on creating the swale.
Tim Milwaukee has a portable unit simple to use connect lock on the valve stem it reads the tire pressure you simply just add what you need. Just uses a big drill battery. Im wanting to get one at some point.
Looks like Tim needs to have a meeting with the finance committee to see if he can get approval for a tractor and 53’ dropdeck trailer to haul more equipment! Love that grading system for cutting in an accurate slope for drainage.
I went to Oil Belt a couple of times when I was a kid. My kids have both been a few times. I also attend the Men’s night they have once a year. Well that was before Covid. I don’t think they have had one the past couple of years
Great job!! Good seeing Tom and Randall. It is amazing what can be accomplished with these little tractors. Keep up the good work and God Bless. The Other Tim With Tractors.
On a more serious note, I recently regraded some of our front yard (the driveway culvert was lower than the dirt on the outlet side so it always sat full of water and I realized our garden expansion likely went right through where the water drains) and completely forgot to use the project to justify this box blade setup. It wouldn't have worked anyway, but it would have been an amusing conversation with the finance committee.
Good job guy’s! I enjoy seeing your family hanging out doing projects together. We get so busy we don’t alway take the time to be with family. Tim if you put an oil cooler with an electric fan on your tractor would that help to keep the hydro oil cooler? Thanks for sharing.
I'm interested in the fertilizer and seed planter that fits on the back of the John Deere. Please let me know where to find it and find out the cost. Is the dirt packer all one piece and will it hook on top of the tiller blade.?
Don't.know the layout but consider making a pond or primitive swimming pool near the end of the swale. Can be a place to teach swimming, water supply for fire fighting, nature area, or recreation. As a pond a few picnic tables with big trees for shade ( tarps and until they get big) would give a pool of Betheda ambience to it.
I stand corrected you will not be putting number five rock down little bit surprised I thought it would’ve been beneficial to use that oh well it is what it is
Dang, I wish I had known you guys were working on this project. I would have dropped by to say hello. Might have even bought cheeseburgers for you guys for lunch! 😁
@@TractorTimewithTim I would have been happy to do what I could. But I'm not as good looking as you guys, so you might have had to blur me out of the video to not scare your subscribers. 👴
Wow, 0.4% slope is very low! “Best Practices“ suggest 2% minimum slope for positive drainage. The water will move very slow and it’s exceedingly difficult to be that precise even with concrete! That’s less than 1/16” drop per foot! But you’ve optimized the conditions with the best available technology. I have the same challenge on my property and I still don’t have any ideal or obvious solutions. It rains 75” a year here. I’m pondering a collection pond to intercept the drainage from beyond my property and using the spoils to create mounds for orchard trees to keep their roots drier… I’m trying to avoid a drainage system to sumps with sump pumps.
Why didn't you make a small Swale and entrant and put in a 8 to 12 in smooth plastic pipe with manholes every so often to catch the water and it would look so bad it wouldn't have the heart place to mow and then when not have to wash down the side even on to win the ground and out of pipe over where it looks like he was running out over the hillside he also could make the standpipe from the pipe up perforated within the steel manhole covers on top of that or you can't even get heavy duty plastic just wondering
Anything underground requires maintenance. Surface drainage always prefers if possible. We were probably 3” below where we needed to be…but this will allow the swale to last longer, work better
You guys should test that channel before the christening call the fire department stick a fire holes in there and open it wide see if it turns the way you wanted it
Take a look at the thumbnail. Moving a much larger amount of dirt with the box blade than I could with loader. Also, very hard to stay ‘smooth’ with loader. It wants to ‘dig in’, or ‘slide over’. Pull type box blade works wonderfully!
i have been over by Newton,Ill. - use to work at marshall , Ill. and lived down at Farmersburg, In

I'm agnostic now, but have fond memories of bible camp from my youth. Compassion and empathy are virtues we all benefit from.
Ah, but what IF there is a heaven and hell? What IF the Bible is true? What if there IS eternal life and eternal damnation?
Our recent trip to Israel certainly made the Bible seem 'more real'. Definitely not a fairy tale!
Your dad would be proud of you guys what you're doing with this Camp to help him out
Good to see Tom and Randell back on video. They are very interesting and knowledgeable
Tom and Randall could have their own channel. They are definitely a TTWT fan favorite.
I can’t believe it! I’m from Iowa and I attended Oil Bent each year while growing up between about 1981-82 till about 1989 very found memories. My uncle Howard Newlin was a very popular preacher in that area. God Bless you!
Anita, Howard’s wife grew up in our church. Very close friends of my sisters when they were young.
Once again making good memories with your brothers, I like watching you guys do projects together.

Tractor Tim grading.... I'm both watching and listening to get educated! Absolutely love it when you are grading or tilling!
Loved seeing the after shots with the grass growing. Great work!
Tim, I always enjoy videos with your family.
Good to see Tomorrow’s and Randell back in video. They are very interesting and knowledgeable
always a good day to watch TTW when Tom and Randall are on. Great video Tim and Christy thank you
Great video Tim and Christy and sounds like a really great camp for the kids. God bless 🙏🙂
Good video. Grew up in Browns, IL. I went to oil belt. The group of independent churches I think are the answer to why this is amazing. Just good humble country people doing work for God.
ECHS grad? Did we go to school together?
@@TractorTimewithTim No. I was just east of bonpas/county line and went to mt.carmel.
Always a pleasure watching you and family doing a project.
Good Sunday morning , God bless you all & thank for sharing
Best summer camp I can remember was a christian camp. Great fun!
I love to see these videos from around home! (Browns) awesome when you said baker seed! Tom's a couple years younger than I am. Love the channel.
Cool! Second commenter from Browns today!
This is Tim having fun on the job throwing grass seed in the air Grass seed in the air weeeeeeee
I like the after photos. Helps complete the story

Thanks for taking pics of 2.5 weeks to show us the results - looks great
Mention TTWT and they might hang up on you 😊
Very nice! Well done!. Great to see Tom and Randall again. 😁👨🚒
Nice work and for a good cause God bless
I need to invest in a new box blade given my long drive and roadways around the farm I am leaning on the towable kind. Great video Tim was fun to watch
Awesome job!! Just goes to show what can be accomplished with small equipment in a pinch. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love seeing the family work together, and for a good cause!!! Hope you are all well!!
Saw you on TFL! Good job, tractors rule!
Really appreciate the "after" shots!
Great to see your family working for a worthwhile goal. 🤠
This was an awesome video. I liked watching 3 tractors working together and y’all having fun doing it. Great job with the videoing also, the overhead shot were great
Great video!!! Oil belt is always a well deserving mission project. Thank you TTWT and Marks family!
That's crazy! I spent time in Flora installing wireless antennas back in the early 2000's
You had a Great Time (Folloeship)... Great Video.... 👍🙏🤞✌👏👏👏
Fun video. I lived in Flora in ‘63-‘65. Yeah, a few years ago.
Great project, and great to see the three Bro's working together again!
Spent many weeks at camp there as a kid.
Wow TTWT helping a childhood ministry of Tim's roots and on TFL to beat a Ram Cummings all in one day. Got to love it. Lol. Well done to all of you!
The swale turned out great, it should take care of the drainage issues.
My family comes from Mount Carmel, IL and we had several oil wells around on aunt's and uncle's properties. Great video to the Marks and all their fine work on creating the swale.
Have known you all this time and didn’t know you were from Mt. Carmel?? Very close to me then!
@@TractorTimewithTim Lots of Family their but my grandparents moved to South Bend after they married and that is where I'm from.
I’d love to know what kind of audio video equipment you use. From all the channels I watch, yours sounds the most clear.
Great episode. I always enjoy watching you guys work together. That was a nice array of equipment as well!
Your project turned out really well. Good to see your family again.
We know several kids from our area that have attended the Oil Belt.
Tim Milwaukee has a portable unit simple to use connect lock on the valve stem it reads the tire pressure you simply just add what you need. Just uses a big drill battery. Im wanting to get one at some point.
Laser controlled!! Wow - that's amazing. The Deere did a great job.
Love it!! Oil Belt Camp was my favorite place to go during the summer time! I went to 29 camp weeks there!! Great job on this video!!
Thanks Miranda!
Love this in many ways.
God is good all the time!!
“May hang up if you mention ttwt” haha great. Job came out super the grass was filling in really well. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like Tim needs to have a meeting with the finance committee to see if he can get approval for a tractor and 53’ dropdeck trailer to haul more equipment! Love that grading system for cutting in an accurate slope for drainage.
Nice swell. That’s good work.
Is there room on Johnny X to add a oversized hydraulic oil cooler ? Really enjoyed the video
The three men in Christ are having fun
That coyote was sure keeping an eye on you guys!!
I went to Oil Belt a couple of times when I was a kid. My kids have both been a few times. I also attend the Men’s night they have once a year. Well that was before Covid. I don’t think they have had one the past couple of years
Nice camp! Job looks Good!
Let’s get started
Interesting project!
I do not ask for much, but please do more videos with Randall.
oh you guys are also from indiana, cool,
A lot of work but looks like a fun project that laser grader sure is handy toy I mean tool
what a good job....looked like an aggressive slope at first but seem to turn out ok
i like pretty much all of your videos but i have to say that this one is my 2nd favorite.... only surpassed by your tribute to your dad
Thanks Don. We thought this one was great too!
Great job!! Good seeing Tom and Randall. It is amazing what can be accomplished with these little tractors. Keep up the good work and God Bless.
The Other Tim With Tractors.
When you call Baker Seed, mention TTWT and they might hang up on you! Lolol
On a more serious note, I recently regraded some of our front yard (the driveway culvert was lower than the dirt on the outlet side so it always sat full of water and I realized our garden expansion likely went right through where the water drains) and completely forgot to use the project to justify this box blade setup.

You got a put the number five rock in there Tim??
Tim i think your fertilizer spreader was cranky cause he needed a double cheeseburger lol great work. someone has to help out the big guy
He had a 5 stack of cheeseburgers for lunch. No kidding!! I had one too! 5 patties!
I'm interested in the fertilizer and seed planter that fits on the back of the John Deere. Please let me know where to find it and find out the cost. Is the dirt packer all one piece and will it hook on top of the tiller blade.?
Woods CSS48. Check out woodsequipment.com
I loved seeing the 3320, how many hours are on it?Thanks!
I looked...but forgot. I think somewhere around 900-1100

A rear view mirror would be of help to the neck ! Turning the head for the Green light on the laser system has to be tough.
No, I have my own indicators on those control boxes to my right.
I'm in need of building a shale how deep did you build yours
Swale? Deep enough to drain the water. Everyone is different. Just enough to generate slope.
I stand corrected you will not be putting number five rock down little bit surprised I thought it would’ve been beneficial to use that oh well it is what it is
"Mention TTWT and they might hang up on you"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dang, I wish I had known you guys were working on this project. I would have dropped by to say hello.
Might have even bought cheeseburgers for you guys for lunch! 😁
Coulda used another hand!

Hey Tim!! Is there a website for the Randall bluetooth spreader?
Voice activated….but it complains a lot!
Tim i dont understand why you pull so much dirt. isnt scraping about taking long drives and level it just by inches for the best result?.
is pulling a box blade too much work for a 1025r? that is the whole reason i want to buy one?
Within reason, it is fine.
Oil gets hot if you pull it hard for a long time.
@@TractorTimewithTim oh good, i am old I cant do anything for a long time :)
Little dozer and Vinnie with the power rake would've done that in under 2 hrs. But you wouldn't have had as much fun.
Little agri-fab broadcast spreader is super fast and inexpensive.
How is it handling all the water.
We’ll have to wait until winter/spring to see how it handles the rainy times.
What complications did you run into
Perhaps watch the video?
Why didn't you make a small Swale and entrant and put in a 8 to 12 in smooth plastic pipe with manholes every so often to catch the water and it would look so bad it wouldn't have the heart place to mow and then when not have to wash down the side even on to win the ground and out of pipe over where it looks like he was running out over the hillside he also could make the standpipe from the pipe up perforated within the steel manhole covers on top of that or you can't even get heavy duty plastic just wondering

Hi
You guys should test that channel before the christening call the fire department stick a fire holes in there and open it wide see if it turns the way you wanted it
Seems like you could have tilled, moved dirt with front loader, and then box bladed
Take a look at the thumbnail. Moving a much larger amount of dirt with the box blade than I could with loader.
Also, very hard to stay ‘smooth’ with loader. It wants to ‘dig in’, or ‘slide over’.
Pull type box blade works wonderfully!
