Love wildflower gardens. They look good, attract pollinators, and you don't have to mow (often). I let 1/2 an acre of my lawn just go wild and just the seeds in the ground produce a nice succession of flower over the season, and even the grass once it goes to seed looks really nice.
I can bet his neighbors will be thanking him for the loss of those Malberry trees. And then replaced with beautiful flowers. We recently drove to South Florida. On I 24 and I 75, some of the large medians had a lovely spread of wild flowers. I think that most of them are in Tennessee. I did notice that several patches was all blue and some where multi colored. Can’t wait to see the results.
Neighbor was happy i came over to enlarge his garden. Must easier with tractor and tiller than a smaller troybuilt. Whenever possible, i pick up and feather the ends and come back with an end row. Most gardens i service are larger and more open. I did relly like the way johnny x was sounding. Really nice purr to it.
Great timing, I was looking for a video for what to do for maintenance on a tiller and how to fix the slip clutch, if it gets knocked out of whack. Always look forward to your videos.
The Ventrac with the seeder is what I need for my 60' x 160' sunflower patch. Using a Chapin push seeder is a pain, and every time you hit even a small clump, it jams up.
It really helps to know when the utilities went in. If lines went in after the trees were in place the lines may be shallow. I had major problems with a phone line that crossed my property. It actually surfaced near one tree, didn't come anywhere near the easement for it and was not more than 8 inches deep anywhere. It was supposed to be 18 inches. I cut it many times with the first shovel of dirt. They finally put it in on the fence. Have put in wells nationwide and utility marking is not very good. Maps etc often don't show abandoned lines or some types of lines at all (drainage pipes) lines owned by the secret service or CIA (yes I have cut those multiple times). The well bit seems to find them easily. The rule is to have it marked and hand dig. Hand dig pits along the line to discover how deep it is then use your best judgement.,
Wow! Shocked! I get into tomato vines. Itching, swelling and reaction on my skin. Which I thought was odd for I can eat the tomato without problems. I thought I was alone for years until I learned that the vines are toxic. Cool to hear that the same thing happens to someone else. Not so alone now!
Am I the only one that loves mulberries? Delicious berries with absolutely no effort, those trees grow like weeds. The seeds can be annoying though. Like seeded grapes. I’m sure those flowers will be beautiful. Black-eyed Susan’s are great at reseeding. This is one of those projects that would be fun to see an update in the future.
Mulberry trees are a favorite of purple pooping birds who aim for cars of all types, especially white convertibles. You can call it no effort but most people like to clean up a little.
I hate this time of year cuz I’m eager to start tilling, but it is still just too wet in this part of Ohio. I’m not far from Orrville, I know you know where that is Tim. Hopefully it will start dryin up here soon.
Absolutely perfect timing, Tim, as I'm looking to convert a big stretch of lawn into a pollenator- and deer-friendly zone. I'll check out the seed supplier for more info. Any suggestions for plants to keep the deer happy? Nice work demonstrating the implements, too. The more I can do with my new Kubota LX3310 the better I can justify its purchase to the queen. This video has given me much to consider. Thank you!
Hey Tim, Awhile back you showed us an attachment that bolted to your bucket that a 2" trailer hitch could attach to. What was that? Thank you as always
Help! I have started getting hired to do tractor work. I recently pulled an estimated 15 tons of rock out of a customer's back yard. What's left is wet clay. Climate is central Texas. What would you recommend to mix into the soil (I think Sandy Loam?) and what would be the best tool to blend it in to make it really ready for sod? Is a tiller like this the right tool? I have a box blade for grading, but there is soooooo much clay.
I live on a property with plenty of clay and have taken a few soil science classes along the way. Organic matter, or better put, compost, is the ticket, but if lawn is the ultimate goal, a 50/50 blend of sand and compost works well. The two major keys to remember is that the clay needs to be dry enough to work (too dry is tough on equipment; too wet is a mess and everything gets stuck), and surface drainage needs to be well thought through to avoid ponding in heavy rain scenarios. A great source of advice would be your local extention office (Cornell runs all of ours across rural upstate NY). Generations of hard learned ag knowledge free to those who bother to knock on the door and ask... Good luck!
Maybe it's because I was raised by a farmer who grew up during the Great Depression. Maybe you work around the clock, I don't know, I've only seen a couple of your videos. Your equipment is top notch, which makes me think you will have to work the rest of your life doing these tiny jobs to justify the expense of the equipment. I hope I'm wrong and you enjoy every bit of a long life.
Larry, our situation is different than most. Most of our equipment is provided by sponsors. We do pay some for the tractors. Projects like this do not feed our family. Rather, our TH-cam presence pays the bills. We do not try to hide this. We intend to be totally transparent with our viewers.
Hi guys. Nice video work as usual. I personally have zero interest in the machine but can appreciate the skillful operation. Tim I have tried holding my mouth differently as I wave my camera around, as yet no money is falling from the sky? Any suggestions.
It's great to see a page with such a large following takes the time to read the comments. I haven't made a comment in the last 2 weeks on your page that didn't say " your comment received a heart from tractor time with Tim"
I hope Harry’s flowers and garden turn out well. Can’t wait to see updated pics of how it turns out when everything grows

Rewatched! Always love watching you with the tiller!
Great video for sure Harry make a good person to work with He seems like a seasoned co host .Thanks Tim & ??? for nice filming 😄
Nice to see you guys out doing projects again! 😁👨🚒
Love seeing Johnny X working. More an more I see it. I wanna do a turbo kit on mine.
I can bet his neighbors will be thanking him for the loss of those Malberry trees. And then replaced with beautiful flowers. We recently drove to South Florida.

Harry is a hoot! We need more of him!!!
Good video, great to see what is Good for the environment. Have a great day...
Harry is a fascinating individual. He is definitely near the top end of the curve. That seeder on the Ventrac is definitely a good excuse to buy one…
💥What a terrific spring project. That Ventrac seeder is really neat to watch in action. Great camera work Christy!
*Keep on tractoring!*
Looks like a job well done. Can't wait to see the follow-up.
Nice to see this happening
I always enjoy the bible verses but the one included on this video really spoke to me and my own personal struggles. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Yes. Easy to get consumed with worry in today’s world. Hang in there! God will provide!
Love this video! Saw my favorite the Ventrac being used!
Hi Tim, your seed to soil contact will insure excellent germination success.
Neighbor was happy i came over to enlarge his garden. Must easier with tractor and tiller than a smaller troybuilt. Whenever possible, i pick up and feather the ends and come back with an end row. Most gardens i service are larger and more open. I did relly like the way johnny x was sounding. Really nice purr to it.
Another University of Illinois graduate. Average there means you are doing OK! Nice to see fellow alums!
As you know, I too am a U of I graduate.
I was aware of that. I graduated a number of years before you (1976) with an accounting degree.
Great timing, I was looking for a video for what to do for maintenance on a tiller and how to fix the slip clutch, if it gets knocked out of whack.
Always look forward to your videos.
Good job folks. That should be beautiful in a few weeks.
The Ventrac with the seeder is what I need for my 60' x 160' sunflower patch. Using a Chapin push seeder is a pain, and every time you hit even a small clump, it jams up.
And again I loved your video, thanks
Look forward to the follow up to see how the seeding went. Nice job, and Christy does it again! Blessings.

Such a great fellow. I anticipate some great photos!
It would be nice if you could put up a picture of all the grown flowers. Post in the community tab maybe?
Ok. We have some. Good point!
I have had good luck mixing seeds with vermiculite
can't wait to see this in a few months!
Awesome job! Great video really enjoyed seeing it all come together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice job! I'll be out with the tiller in a few weeks. We're a little later here in Maine.
Nice job, looks nice.
13:13 "the half that makes the top half possible"
Nice video tim and kristie and nice job and johnny turbo works good 👍👍

There always has to be ONE! :-)

Solomon was described as a belly like ivory and his veins shown through like emeralds.
I really liked this video. Flower Power. Please follow up with a vid on the outcome. Am interested on the success

I'd like to see a video of Johnny X running a bigger tiller. Seems like a little monster
Wish I had that turbo
Hey Tim, Awhile back you showed us an attachment that bolted to your bucket that a 2" trailer hitch could attach to. What was that?
Thank you as always
Boltonhooks.com has them.
Would you use a land roller after the planting of the seeds?

Tim, Where can you get Cheeseburger seeds?
Good question! Old MacDonald’s farm! EIEIO!

Hmm.
@@TractorTimewithTim Not really helpful. Thanks anyway. Maybe I need a SIM card?
Maybe a longer selfie stick?
@@TractorTimewithTim What’s a selfie stick? 🤔
if you ever give up driving tractors you would make a great preacher
Wanted to be a preacher when I was young.
It's great to see a page with such a large following takes the time to read the comments. I haven't made a comment in the last 2 weeks on your page that didn't say " your comment received a heart from tractor time with Tim"
Thx for the kind words!
Can you run a loader on that tractor with the weights on it
I don’t think so. Wouldn’t want to anyway due to front axle loading.
What do blue "x"s meaaan??!
Welcome to our channel. Check out our “Johnny X” playlist showing the turbo and other upgrades we have done to The tractor.
I'm tired
Lol, I'm tired of tilling by hand.
