Nice work! The ball field turned out great. The pitcher's mound appears to be a perfect circle. Very impressive!
Volunteering time and tractor work to good causes is one of my favorite parts of owning a tractor.
My favorite too
I've really been wanting to, just need to pick up a trailer big enough that I can help folks outside the "road it there" distance for my tractor. Goals for the future! :D
Great job on the ball field and driveways!
Love seeing that 5055E :)
18:27 That before vs after shot of the kickball field is amazing.
Well done Cristy and Tim. 👍
It’s satisfying when you can share your gifts and talents with a deserving project. It’s a blessing for all.
Amen
It is so great to see you are starting to put more content out. It means that healing is taking place! Praise the Lord! Per usual, Tim is the best, commentary is too notch, the knowledge is plenty and the content is great to watch! I always learn something!
Sometimes ya just need a good old fashioned grader blade to pull the material back from the side to the center. Great work guys' That power rake amazes me everytime I see you use it! love watching your vids, this one could have been twice as long for me. Happy to see you back after such a difficult time!
Nice driveway clean up. That small ditch added will probably make tings far better. Gives the runoff a place to go. Box blades can be a challenge but you made it look easy and finishing with Ventrac "polished" it up nicely. Enjoyed watching as always.
Fantastic job on a great piece of property. As a small child my mother cooked at a church camp, which meant I got to stay all three weeks for each age group. I was in heaven. Dirt and toys. Maybe I've not gone far from that!
Good to see Vinny back at it. Nice work you guys
We had an F3 tornado come through my town including my neighborhood here in NY on July 16th.
We had a lot of devastation, buildings destroyed and damaged. Including homes.
We put out business on hold for about 8 days, maybe even a couple more short days. We helped many families get the huge trees out of their yards, and set them to the curbs.
We also work with the City, towns, state, and military as they all worked the disaster.
The day is hit the town, I walked out to my “big” saw, it had been having issues starting for me. I put it through its starting process and is revved right up ready to go.
I knew that I couldn’t sit around and I had to act. So many people were affected, and thankfully we were able to help so many people. I hope that it doesn’t happen again. But if it does, I’m ready to go again.
Being able to assist in that moment
Helping folks in time of need is incredibly rewarding!
Tractor time with Tim and Chrisy! I like it.
You two are awesome. Using your resources to help others is a great thing
Thanks for the video knowing you are going through a difficult time. I still miss my mom and dad
I have driven by that place many times over the years but had never been there. I worked for almost 20 years just 5 miles south and drove up old 63 many times as I preferred it to the less scenic 63. Gotta love all of the road names in that area. I went to the web site to lookup the history out of curiosity, it's been there a very long time now, and it was interesting to see that the Seeger family donated the ground.
Any seat time on a tractor is a good day in my opinion. Thanks for sharing and Happy Memorial Day guys!
The little things which are big things, just not often appreciated until they aren't done. Very cool.
Thank you for helping at the camp. Volunteers make these camps possible.
I think you should always end with Tractor Time With TimAnd Christy!!! You couldn’t do it without her!!!!
Correct!
You got it Tim, looking GOOD.... Yes they are in need of gravel.... A job well done!!!! 😅😊
Great job Christy and Tim!
You guys did. An amazing job. Love Vinny and the power rake.
The Ventrac has to be one of the most versatile utility platforms compared to compact tractors, skid steers, mini-Ex's, etc. It may not be the best in every category but since it can do so much in varied terrain its versatility is almost unmatched.
And Christy, yeah!!!!😂😂😂
Seeing that plane on Tim’s loader had been wondering of something probably have to make homemade that could easily mount on the loader bucket on dad’s old 1974 410 John Deere backhoe. Don’t have quick attach for the loader bucket didn’t think it was an option back in 1974. Wonder something that can slide on like heavy hitch tooth bar with a way to secure it better than clamping bolts. It’s a new idea trying to get outta my mind
Was just about to ask if you were using Deere’s top and tilt kit and then you mentioned Summit hydraulics. 👍🏻
Last year I spent a long Saturday with my MF GC1723 refurbishing a baseball field for a local Christian high school. I tilled the infield, pitchers mound, and home plate. Then I dethatched the outfield so they could overseed. The field looks great now. I was glad I could do my part.
Great to be able to use your tractor to help!
Good to see you guys back in the saddle, thanks for the video!
Hey Tim and Christy. Hope you guys are doing Ok, knowing what happened. Thanks for the video, stay strong!❤
Rain comes from the sky
Nothing like an old ball field. Waaaaay back when I was little we practiced on old ball fields.
Great video field and road turned out very good nicely done👍🏻
Great video!
Beautiful property 🙌
We've got the 3*3 sync shuttle, and yeah, you can do use it very smoothly with the clutch, but it's a bit of a pain doing loader work!
i like that land leveler tool . seems to do a lot i could def see my self making use of that
Over 1,000 views and ONLY 250👍 come on PEOPLE make it RAIN thumbs UP!🙌
Tim if I had put the road system in back in the day I would have put 8 to 10 inches of the bigger 1.5 inch to 3 inch stone base then 6 inches of the 3/4 inch to fines on top it seems to be on some of the projects you work on the base layer of stone gets not done thick enough cause of the pot holes
Nah, wouldn’t make a difference here. The potholes are due to the standing water.
I went to camp there in 1965 and then did some volunteer work there in 1969 or 70.
Wow!
i have used the heavy hitch tooth bar on bucket and back drag the teeth to bring stone up and then use round part of bottom bucket to level
My thought on the ability to move dirt with the power rake forward vs backwards - just kinda noodling around with ideas.
The rake in forward travel is resting on the front wheels, and the back is supported by the tractor itself. The material is being removed from behind the front wheels, and the tractor's path is larger than the material removal path of the rake, so it sinks into the cut path less. When you're moving backwards, the rake is removing the dirt from just in front of the implement wheels, which effectively drops the rake down farther into the ground, the more material is removed. I wonder if that's artificially playing with how much ground engagement it has...
Nothing quite like the sound from a boxblade in action
Reminded of home improvement with the I don’t think so Tim. Instead of Al saying it we got Christy. On this we don’t have Tim grunting more power and causing mishaps like on the old show Tim Allen did
Tim, do you have the pivot point adjustment on the Ventrac in the right position for the dual wheels? They shouldn’t be rubbing together in a hard turn.
No. I do not. I intentionally leave it out now. I would say this is ‘advanced mode’ :-)
Great video thanks for answering a question I was wondering weather or not that land leveler would work on a 3R volunteering is always good for heart
One customer is using it on a 4075R! I'm sure it is a bit small for that machine, but he hasn't destroyed it yet!
Nice work Tim. I have a fairly long shared gravel driveway that I use a land plane on. The problem I'm having is that the material comes off the rear blade in clumps. This leaves a washboard type surface. How do you do a final smoothing to get rid of those?
Yes, it comes off in clumps when wet. Does it still come off in clumps when drier? I find that it works well when dry.
One approach to final smoothing is to use a harrow. americanharrow.com has a good 3 point mount one. Use code ttwt for 5% off.
Tim will you answer this question for me please. If you purchase a tractor without a front end loader how do they add it latter hydraulic issues like pump and or a storage tank
Most tractors today come with the necessary hydraulics already.
👍👍
You went for the parking break at nine minutes? Did you suffer a power loss and thought that was the issue?
I think so.
Maybe I'm just making noise but we have a BX2360 with a pin on bucket. I wish that there could be a way to use what you have on the Deere tractor to work driveways without having to do a lot of modifications to make it a quick attach. I was thinking of trying to make something to hook to our bucket. Any thoughts?
I think (but not sure) that you can upgrade your bucket to ssqa.
Then, you could use the ssqa version of this land leveler.
Alternatively, heavyhitch might be willing to make a pin on version if you called.
@@TractorTimewithTim I thank you for the reply and information.
Hanging Rock here in Warren County?
🇨🇦👍
Great video!
