I spread 27 tons of dirt and rock with a Simplicity 7016. The dirt was loose though, not like this rain packed stuff you are pushing. You are right - that thing is a beast. Nice demonstration. Art from Ohio
That worked great, but I wouldn’t recommend turning the blade left or right when you’re stopped in the pile. That puts more strain on the hydraulics. It worked well though.👍
Nice. The four wheel drive helps. Great job doing that. I have a 1976 Massey Ferguson garden tractor that I added a plow to. Plus hydraulic angle. Great machines garden tractors. They can do a lot of work. I hauled a tree out of my woods yesterday with the MF 14. Have a great day 👍🏻👋🪵🪓🚜
Back when I bought the x758 I also had a 2520deere with 200cx loader. Ie definitely worked great for moving a leveling dirt. But hey if it works it works. Better then using a shovel and rake haha.. thanks for the comment. Consider subscribing if you want. Much appreciated
@@gregg360 well you can abuse your equipment if you want but using a snow plow as a bulldozer is a great way to bend frames, plows, and generally mess up your machine. It isnt my money that was spent on the machine so for all I care he can abuse it however he wants. Just dont think it is a great idea if you want the machine to last.
I appreciate you looking out for the machine I felt like I was being easy on it. I didn’t let the wheels free spin and just hammer into the pile. There’s a risk with using anything small like that to push dirt or debris so again thanks for looking out.
Install the lockout valve to isolate the deck. Fully raise it, close the valve and the deck won't move when raising lowering the plow. I have one on my X585.
Yes the 4x4 makes a world of difference. Yes the angle feature is nice for rolling snow/rock whatever else. Those old MF are work horses as well. Appreciate that feed back.
I did something similar years ago with my wheel horse and ended up with a small raised section where the pile was originally that was packed so hard it was almost impossible to level.
Yes if you go back in my previous videos I had a tree fall down there and the junk dirt the neighbor hauled in was mostly clay and I was hard to level beside leaving a mind so to speak.. yes you are correct it was difficult. Thanks for the comment.
What was that mower belt looking thing on top of the dirt pile, just before video ends? The setup reminds me of my 20+ yr old non-hydraulic GT235 with 48" plow. I moved a lot of dirt with it, just like you are doing. Also manure piles from horses. Only the 54" mower deck has to come off, before plow goes on. Now have a 1025r, with loader, etc. I know you had a 2520 with loader. The garden tractor and heavy duty plow can do a lot for a homeowner. Including lots of snow removal. A loader is nice, but typically somewhere from doubles to quadruples the cost of the tractor/toy 😂
The rubber belt was just the junk dirt my neighbor delivered from his farm and had rubber belt it the pile.. yes a 1025r with loader and mower deck would be great for landscaping and pushing snow. But at the time all I need was the mower. Because I still had the 2520. Then sold that. Now definitely wanting a small loader tractor back again.. definitely an expensive toy. The only big plus for me is transporting material from one spot to another, a plow is hard to do that without getting it all over the yard. Just have to get the wife to sign off. Maybe one day you will see a new loader tractor on the channel. Fingers crossed. Thanks for leaving a comment. It’s nice to hear other guys have done the same type of things. Appreciate it.
I’ve always dropped the mowing deck when doing any thing not related to mowing - yes it’s a PIA for what I have (30yr old WheelHorse), but it’s just a good practice IMHO
Yes next time when I’m doing anything blade related I’ll do that.. obviously should have don’t it from the beginning but hey got to learn some how.. lol
I believe you can lock the deck so it stays up while using the front attachments. At least I remember I could do it with my X758 but that’s been two tractors ago now.
@@studiy0702 I want to say there is a hydraulic lock out valve that is standard if you ordered the mower with the front attachment hookup from the dealer. I believe it was a round knob located just under the floor pan in the area just under where the hydraulic hoses hookup. At least I think that was how I did it. I also remember locking a unit with the deck height adjustment wheel but I’m pretty sure I’m thinking of my Kubota BX on that one. There should be a valve type box with a turn knob that you will have to turn a few times before it isolates the deck. Let me know what you find.
@@Lilfarmrboy ok will check it out tomorrow and see what I can find. I have been just setting the deck at the highest setting and I works but would be nice to bypass the deck and have full control of the front attachment.. thanks man.
You’re thinking of getting a 735 to mow with? And then have your 1025R to have as loader tractor? Nice little tractor have you got all the bells and whistles?
@@studiy0702 backhoe works great . Just keep in mind your not using a mini excavator . I've dug stumps, replaced sewer lines, and stripped sod off just to name a couple of jobs
That’s not good at all. Well if I didn’t bolt it the blade springs would just keep flexing so it’s what I had to do to make it work.. thanks for the comment
Yes but they’re not the standard turf tires in my opinion. There alittle more aggressive, but I don’t really need bar tires for it. Yes after is was don’t with the project definitely should have taken the deck off before starting! But HEY it’s a learning opportunity for all that have watched the video.

It is times like these that I am glad I spent the extra change and bought a 1025r with a loader.

@sknox3754 yes I appreciate you reaching out.
Awesome setup. I didn't know it come with a float.
Yes it does. The bottom lever if you push it up till it clicks the plow will stay in float, till you pull the lever back to normal controls.
@@studiy0702 That's awesome
that sounds like has a 3 cylinder kubota diesel engine on that mower@@studiy0702
@michaelmactavish4445 yes it’s a 3 cylinder yammer diesel. I don’t think yanmar is built by kubota..
oh its yanmar no kubota made there gas and diesel engines by kubota
@@studiy0702
Wow, I would have definitely removed the deck first
Well after I got into it! That was my thought too.
Nice loose soil, perfect conditions for moving soil!
Was kinda hard packed under the loose stuff but just having fun
@@studiy0702 I was actually impressed with how easy it moved that pile, I know that dirt is pretty heavy! Nice job!
@1966roadking thank you. Yes next time I do something small like that I will be taking the deck off
I have a 1025 r and thinking about a 735
just mow with it though
You’re thinking of getting a 735 to mow with? And then have your 1025R to have as loader tractor? Nice little tractor have you got all the bells and whistles?
@@studiy0702
Yes , a 735 just to mow with and use the 1025r for the loader ,tilling and backhoe work.
@00-by2jl how does the backhoe work for you? Obviously there are limitations to everything
Great for counter weight
@@studiy0702 backhoe works great .
Just keep in mind your not using a mini excavator . I've dug stumps, replaced sewer lines, and stripped sod off just to name a couple of jobs
I know a guy who broke his neck locking the blade. Hit a curb plowing snow at too high a speed.
That’s not good at all. Well if I didn’t bolt it the blade springs would just keep flexing so it’s what I had to do to make it work.. thanks for the comment
Wrong tires, turf's are worthless! Deck is also pushing dirt.
Yes but they’re not the standard turf tires in my opinion. There alittle more aggressive, but I don’t really need bar tires for it. Yes after is was don’t with the project definitely should have taken the deck off before starting! But HEY it’s a learning opportunity for all that have watched the video.
