MASTERFUL!! I was nervous for you in some of those spots. Amazed you were able to get as much as you did there. Can’t believe how long you guys have been there already. I remember how excited I was for you (and me as a viewer) when you revealed you had bought the property. Looking good!!
The old saying, “ don’t go where the cattails grow “ is solid advice.
I think you might be swimming the tractor which is not recommended. I've taken a tractor into a irrigation canal to clean out my turn-out but I turned over instead. Not a good way to do things.
A good operator on any piece of equipment needs to understand that there is always danger. That is why you have different sizes of tractors. You understand that because you’ve been doing these odd jobs all your life. It’s hard to convey that over each video. Great demo showing how easy it is for an experienced operator to get stuck and when to get outside help getting out of the problem.
Christie's shadow at 15:20. 😁 C'mon Tim, you're going to give your wife a heart attack!
Absolutely! I kept holding my breath and I wasn't there!
21:30, that's why you use the loader lock Tim, about today's eppisode: i think if that mower had a longer reach, and a weight on the opposite side of the bucket to balance each side, you wouldn't have to drive down so close and get in troubble.
So my comment is on the pond itself! Not trying to troll. Just looking ahead. Check out Peak O2 pond aeration. Having a small 1/2 acre pond since 1992 and finally being able to install this system this past fall has made a world of difference in the water quality. And saved having to use chemicals to try to contain vegetation. And knock on wood as of now 6/2/2021 there is no vegetation moss on the water surface. I am in Missouri 50 miles west of St Louis. We also had cold enough temperatures that the pond froze except about 20 foot circles around the 2 emitters. That never froze. The water fowl loved it. One day there was so many geese you could not count them hanging out on and around the pond.
I would really love to have one of those, trimming my boundaries vertically and around my pond, hope to see more on this
A easy way to clean up the algae in the pond is to aerate the water and the algae will disappear. I don't think you should press your luck depending on the mower deck holding you up. If you start sliding, the deck will slide with you into the pond, so you should be safe rather than sorry. You be careful around that pond. I had a friend of mine drown in a pond after the tractor pinned him under the water.
aeration will most defiantly not take care of his algae problem read a book...get some information. You have to get it under control first...it will help curtail it for awhile but its not going to eliminate it...
I didn't realize this type of mower was available for front mounting on the loader arms. Good idea!
Great attachment and great video!
As for the pond, I found through experimentation with my own pond that the easiest, quickest fix with the best results is a powerful underwater bubbler or two, depending on the size of the pond. I have a smaller 1/2 acre pond. The deepest end by the dam is 8-feet. I have just one diffuser sitting at the bottom of that area and with no other changes it cleaned up the pond algae in under 2-weeks and has kept it that way all summer (I just added it this spring). The water is clearer and the fish are more active. I assembled my own system using a Hiblow HP-100LL Liner Pump and run it at night only. I have it on 100-feet of weighted hose attached to a MEDIUM bubble diffuser as recommended by Hiblow. Here is a great video on the topic (I especially liked the recommendation to have the diffuser tied to a surface decoy so you can find the diffuser if it ever quits emitting bubbles): th-cam.com/video/DCwnVcwZutM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FarmerBrad
I use to run a Reach-Arm on the Highways it can be an interesting mower. It had a 5' bush hog hanging on it.
That's a handy mower! Nice that the power pack can be used for other implements. The self washing deck sure helps clean out the buildup lol!
They should add some wheels to it so you can float the loader and cut even
Make the wheels as an attachment so they can be removed when they aren't needed.
Best thing about this implement is that it's out front. I'll be looking forward to seeing how it does mowing that ditch bank you've got. Could also work for getting under trees that are overgrown and haven't been pruned back in years.
That is a handy unit. Interesting that the JDQA and Skid Steer is on the unit. Plus the hydraulic power pack offers additional functionality for other applications as well. Blessings.
ALSO! (at the end) Thanks for letting your light shine. How apropos to find a text which even dealt with the very same kind of vegetation you were dealing with in this video...
I think Kristi tries hard to match as close as possible - I only wish they were up long enough to read the longer ones!
Debbie, press the pause button. Easy to pause the video long enough to read it.
@@TractorTimewithTim tried that, all of the “screen info” covers much of it. I usually have my phone handy and have looked them up if not familiar. I love that you include them!
Hard for us to leave them up any longer...folks tune out and it costs us in TH-cam terms.
Love the"self cleaning" function. 😋
Interesting video! I would sum that mower in one word, "versatility". I wonder if anti scalping wheels or skids would help prevent throwing & hitting rocks? And maybe an episode of leveling that steep bank someday to make mowing easier! Best Regards, Jay
Good job, and great advice. If your getting stuck,,STOP. I have a lot of swampy wet area, and learned that 50 years ago. Dont ask me how I learned. lol Cheers from Virginia.
Excellent video, been looking forward to seeing how you tackle you pond bank mowing.
Hopefully we get to see some pond bank mowing comparison video’s with likes of the Mossio 3pt mounted flail vs this loader mounted brush cutter unit.
After kicking up rock with my batwing finish mower which shattered the back glass on my 4720, this style mower would relay make me nervous with a cab tractor.
Darn old good sickle bud. Haha love the new products. Keep it up
Tim, Those tire ruts will certainly last longer than your pondgrass would have.
I have to admit Tim, you and I both use our tractors in a similar way. Full out, and to the limit. I watch some youtubers that treat their tractors like show cars. afraid to get them dirty.
As a pond owner myself I have the same problem. Also have the same issues you have with algae. Maybe a video with someone who maintains ponds would be good so we can all learn how to treat ponds to get rid of the algae. I've spent quite a bit on chemicals/algaecides and none seem to work.
Your best bet is to introduce plants like irises and lilies to compete with algae for nutrients and to create shade. As for algaecide I would recommend Nishikoi clear waters but it will stunt other water plants.
We intend to totally redo the pond sometime, so not too concerned about it right now.
Tim you are making me a bit jealous with all the toys you get to try out. I could really use that mower along my driveway. Have a great day.
What sort of driveway do you have?
@@kdegraa I have a 900 yd gravel drive with grass banks on each side that are too steep to ride a mower on.
That’s a different way of doing it. Good video
When ur working on a slight incline that tipsy feeling really gives u a pucker. Have you looked into having the pond dug out? I think it would make for better maintenance. Also for the algae, grass carp love it. When we had a pond we had them and also cleaned out the pond and composted the algae. Makes the garden easier to work up.
Pond maintenance can be a big chore. Especially on ponds that were not done right in the first place and/neglected over time. Tim probably has considered reworking the pond but that’s a big job. We have several OLD ponds on our family properties... and it’s been a surprising adventure learning about how things are now done in my state. So... depending on where you live... it can be a pain getting your local government to work with you on your pond work/improvement/enlargement. Even though it’s your pond... in some states/locales it can be quite the hassle. I know in my state... we have small ponds on our property and even tho the “dams” are tiny earthen things... we still have to get them inspected occasionally. We were talking with the inspector when he was checking the pond closest to the house and mentioned some day we would like to dredge a bit of the pond a little deeper and then add beach sand to make a small area to swim and hand out. He advised us that even digging a pond to “clean it” would require us to file the intentions with the county and it would require approval. Idk if that’s something that Tim would encounter where he lives. Also... depending on your state/locale... you might have to apply for multiple different kinds of permits too. It gets rather crazy. In all fairness... my area might be a lot stricter on these things because our area is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. It’s become a mess here over the last ~30 years.
@@TsunauticusIV i agree. Some places its a hassle with permits. I think it might be something to look into. I hate seeing such a nice property with a pond full of algae.
We’ll get to the pond someday. Not worried about the algae right now, as we have bigger plans for the pond. Who knows how long it will be before we act on these plans!
Wish you had a closer walk around of the unit. I enjoy seeing the mechanics of these attachments.
Great review Tim, I'm wondering🤔 if that brush hog will work on my Vermeer cxt -160 for doing ditch banks. I'll have to look this one up. Keep up the good work and God bless you both 👍👍
Make me nervous too. I had a little pucker factor going on and I wasn't even running the tractor. That's what i call pushing to the limit. Lol
"I had no excuse last year and I still didn't do it." LOL
That is a great attachment!
outstanding way to make a video
That one piece of equipment would work perfectly here in north georgia. Honestly wish I was using it on my place today.
The manufacturer is not far away!
Good job for a Ventrac, Tim. But you made a nice job of it. Nothing like having the "right" tool for the job. Of course, your caution and expertise operating "outdoor" equipment shows in the finished product. Next best thing might be a "big wheel" string trimmer (i.e. DR, etc.)
It would help if you soften the slope. Push a little of the flat towards the pond a soften the slope and you could mow much easier
Omg, that mower is more then I paid for my tractor!
Hey Tim! My son and I continue to love your videos! Are there any future plans on dredging your pond? I have a pond like yours too and am curious. Thanks!
Tim makes me nervous just watching!
Mowers make nice land planes. It gets better every trip.
That was nerve racking.
I like the hydraulic adjustments. The one I have is manual.
Nice video again, like comment and subscribe. This is a product I definitely want in the future.
Man I thought for sure with that rear right tire riding on the loose dirt edge, that it was going to give way & you were going to land right in the water a few times LOL! Time to make a more gentle slope & get rid of all the rocks & just mow it....but then again...we wouldn't see this new toy at work!
Hello the little tractor, twin tires plus weight would do well for such work. Greetings from Germany
That’s a cool tool.
More than twice the price of a Lane Shark, and would have to add 3rd function(the LaneShark uses 3rd function port, so mods have to be made for either). It has a bit more offset and the fine, and instant, angling is great, but it removes the multifunctionality of using a PTO mover at same time. Would be a fine addition to a fleet of mowing equipment without having to buy a dedicated boom mower, as long as one in the fleet had a FEL. The power pack possibly being able to run some other implement, like a boom saw or sweeper(?), might make it worthwhile for many.
Since I already have the LS, I will stick with what I have, unless I hit Powerball/Megamillions 🤑.
Great video as usual.
If you put a fountain in the middle of the pond and shock it, that aglea will stay at bay and won't look muddy.
I have the same problem with my b2650 you have to use the joystick lock i plow with mine and you also have to disable the seat switch as you turn around and lift a cheek the tractor stops
Do Kubotas have a SVC lockout similar to Deere that would prevent movement from accidental knee/arm contact?
Pretty cool attachment. Looks a little too much for my 1025R. I would like to see it trim at 90 degrees when you have time.
I don't know that I like that mower much... I was holding my breath most of the video!
If the house floods, you'll wish I fixed the drain issues, look forward to seeing how you fix the drain issues and pond
Pat's are great!!
Your bank is definitely an odd shaped on one side it’s kind of cupping and that would be pretty hard to mow. I prefer CYCLEBAR because of the reach and because it goes slow and will cut if you dip it down in the water. This is an interesting option. I still think the sickle bar would be easier around the pond but this would be great for getting under trees and brush. If it goes up 90° it would also be great for trimming hedges and keeping brush at the edge of a property under control. How thick of brush can you do with that?
Think of the views if Tim had slid into the pond!!!! :-P :-)
I wish someone could come up with something similar but a little smaller that I could use on my BX. I have 2 streams that run through my property and it takes me almost 3 hours to weed eat all the banks.
That's a nice attachment. The only thing that would make it even better would be if the mower was attached to a telescopic arm so it could reach out a bit further when needed in situations such as this. It would also be nice if you could swing it from one side to the other and even reach out in front with it.
I almost got stuck twice on the 4wd 5320 at the farm this weekend. Since it's close to a mile up hill to walk and get another vehicle, and we're commonly by ourselves, I'm seriously considering fabricating a winch mount for the front of the tractor.
Would be helpful! Of course you can get a 2 inch receiver winch mount if you have a receiver.
@@TractorTimewithTim yeah, I'll have to look under the front of the frame and see if I can recess a 2" receiver to not lose that 5" or so of depth, and see how it integrates with the chainsaw mount I made (which with 13ish miles of log trails, is about the most useful thing to have with you when bush hogging!)
Love the videos also do you have any good way that you know of to straighten the top three point link on the 1025r
Nope. Sorry. Bent one of mine too! No way that I know of. ...and have to buy the entire link if you replace with Deere! You can get inexpensive one from tractor supply.
FOUNTAIN TIME FOR THE OLD POUND AN SOME FISH HAVE A DAY LOVE FROM TEXAS
The pond could use some aeration.
Stay safe everybody, a mower operator at a golf club near me recently died mowing a bank which collapsed and he ended up underneath the tractor in the water.
Exactly. I would remove the bank entirely so that you could just use string trimmer around it.
@@hugostiglitz8465 Make it a more gradual slope so its safer for the mower ;)
Need to add anti-scalp wheels to it.
And make sure you wear a full face shield and thick long sleeve shirt or jacket when running it on an open cab tractor.
Never had anything...not even grass clippings thrown back at me.
You could have got all of that with the Ventrac boom mower.
but how does it compare?
@@JoeMalovich Better cut and less danger.
Does he still have Vinnie??? Seems it would be the right thing to use, if he has it!
How is the power pack powered. from the PTO?
Tim ,you are scaring me!
Good video and great commentary. I like it when you explain back to some of the comments in prior videos.
I have to say that watching this episode was quite nerve wracking. I just knew you were fixing to slide down into the pond a couple of times and when your rear tire came up I thought you were going to flip. But I know you were being extra careful and had everything under control.
If memory serves me correctly didn’t you have a mower for Vinney that was similar?
We have the boom mower (sickle bar) for Vinny.
Try cutting closest to water first, then as you go around cut outward from pond, the cut grass and shorter to ground will make for a slicker surface, try it out one time
One danger here is watching the mower and not the front tire ..over the bank you go !!
hey tim! where is the best place to get a quick hitch for jd 1023
You make me nervous when you drive near slopes like this. The pucker factor would keep me away and motivate me to get permits to redo the slopes.
Owner's manual page 7 indicates "For Cab Tractor Only" Open Station requires All kinds of guarding, shielding, wolven wire of equal.
They give mixed messaging because they have an open station John Deere w/300E on the cover.
@@donaldbull7118 valid point, if you look at product page for hydraulic mowers, they are all cabs accept the little mini. Actually not sure why the cab❓ If a flying rock breaks my cab window, I'd be quite unhappy, & not really think that it could have hit the operator. Could take weeks to get new factory curved glass, & it could happen again.
You need to get that pond fixed! Lol just like me I’m a contractor and that’s all I hear, you need to get that siding fixed on your house lol. I just don’t seem to have the time. I’m the same way always helping everyone else instead of myself! When you get ready to dip it out I wish I had the time to donate to your cause. But I can offer my mini, just come and pick it up for a week. I live just south of your southern IL property if you need to borrow it.
Could you show us all the different angles it can adjust to on the next video please. And does it stay out to the side or can you move it to the middle like the lane shark?
Very cool. Looks like a great application for the Mower honestly
Tim, time to get an excavator with a grading bucket to clean that pond bank up. Uho, another new toy, awesome. 👍
I was wondering if that was going to happen. I got put into a ditch by a brush hog that the rear wheel wasn’t moving freely. Nobody hurt. Just stuck and embarrassed. Luckily we had a second tractor to do what you guys did. Glad you didn’t edit it out.
The Ventrac would have been a lot safer even without a boom mower. It could nose down that bank with no fear of tipping. The regular tough cut deck or the new flail mower would work great.
Something smaller and cheaper would be a nice attachment for my Toro 522xi garden tractor. On the old farm I rent pole barn storage there are several trees with low branches that are a hassle to mow under with my tractor. I wonder if I could make one with one of the Snapper 21” mowers I have in my storage? One of them has the casters on the front. If I could find a 2nd one with casters I could modify them to mount on the rear of it then attach it by a boom hitch.
Scalping is basically the same thing as grading, it’s just the longer slower way of doing it. Lol
Lol. C’mon Tim, you’re not stuck until the water hits the seat. ;) lol. Jk. Better to be careful
Tim has toys I didn't even know existed.
Hi Tim, is it a bush-hog or finish mower as far as the blades are concerned? Could that be used to cut back brush like the county boom mowers do?
Jason
Bush hog. You’ll see in the upcoming episode.
I bet you know of someone that has an excavator (dirt perfect) to dredge out the pond lol
This is an implement that could get someone in trouble in a hurry….just want to get another couple inches and SPLASH 💦
I would just have the bank excavated back. This cutting of the bank is time consuming and dangerous to say the least.
I didn't know that there was a third manufacturer. It does look like a superior product, but it does cost more than the other two. However it looks a lot cheaper when you compare it to Ventrac boom mower blade. One question I had was you can put it out in front of the tractor rather than offset?
No, it does not ‘move’ left to right or front.
And you think I do crazy things. :) I got the pucker factor just watching you. Hope you don't wear a seat belt because if you do and tip, you'll drown while the tractor keeps you under water. I noticed the times you got into trouble. Thought one time you were going in before the time where you got pulled out. Now you know the feelings I get around my place. That water and it's bank scares me. Take care.
Uhoh. If I scared you, I must be totally crazy. You have huge hills!
Nice implement - again, Christy with the great drone footage and for the most able assist - talk about a help-meet !!! Thanks again for a great video !!
How can I find someone with one of these mowers near me who I could hire to cut around my pond? Valley Forge, PA.
Lookup GarretWilson1 on Instagram i think he is in pa and might be able to help you.
If you could swing that out front to reach out further it would be ideal for those steep situations.
I want one!!
You should have that shoreline re-dug
I did on one side. Search CX80 on our channel.
I sure want one Tim, but I think my B2650 with cab is not heavy enough . . .
Another very handy attachment... or is it an implement? :)
Good question!
Scalping???
Nope, consider it LEVELING!!!
Leveling is such a nice word,, ,
Need an excavator to really reach out there and dredge the moss out. You can make a smoothie with that!
I bet that would benefit from using stump jumper blades. (Bevel on bottom)
Hey Tim, I have been watching your videos for awhile, and have never seen you use a PTO chipper. I have been interested in one, and would love to see you do a review of one.
Cannot find a company that wants to work with me. ...well, one is willing, but only with a low end chipper.
@@TractorTimewithTim Try Vermeer?
Saw a few times were you almost tipped over into the pond, wheel spacers may of helped that problem though the boom mower would have the better reach
I have wheel spacers.
@@TractorTimewithTim didn't know that. Must be small ones don't look there is any there
