Love your videos. But more importantly your Christian Values that you have. This is your Mission Work and a great venue to get word out to many viewers. Thank you.
Just bought one of these this winter and spent one day this week setting it up and getting ready for the summer work. The setup was a little more work than I expected after watching two youtube videos. (they make it look so easy) The instruction book that came with the unit is pretty good also. I have a 55hp MF and am looking forward to trying it out. Still snow in the tree claims so it will be awhile. I will have to say watching your previous videos on this unit helped me make the decision to spend the money. Not a cheap investment but it should be the last one I will have to buy! Thanks for your videos as you do a good job of explaining things which to many of us out here in youtube land is appreciated.
I know it takes a lot of work and time to make these videos but I for one deeply appreciate your efforts. I learn and enjoy each video especially during this stay at home order. THANK YOU.
Agree with ya about pull type mowers. Love the TS10. But with a three point hitch type, I found if you mow without the centerlink attached and take the slack out of your lift arms while mowing, it works pretty darn good. Good videos Tim.
Morning Tim Just FYI inserting bolt from the bottom The bolt under pressure will always rise up No idea why but drove for a truck delivery company for many years doing this and it ALWAYS WAS SITTING with threads and nut well above our hookup point which was just like a drawbar but clamp on style Have a great day
Don’t forget about all the essential works that have to be a work and still come in contact with lots of people everyday. I work at an auto repair shop, but you also have the food industry and others that are at risk. They are needed every day. Keep up the great videos.
New to your videos here but I must say your family are smart to put bolt from the bottom. Makes it a lot easier to tighten nuts from the top opposed to from the ground.
One advantage of putting the bolt in from the bottom is there is a lower chance of damaging the thread when going over rocks , tree stumps etc. Also stops the threads from being caked in mud.
Hi Tim, thanks for another video. To answer your question about why it is easier to pull a mower with 3 small blades than it is a mower with 1 big blade. It is like a flywheel. The bigger the flywheel the more power it takes to move it. The blade tip has to travel much further on one big diameter spindle than on 3 smaller spindles and the mass of the weight that you have to move is much greater. Also the leverage of a large blade works to your disadvantage.
How about a quick game of basketball Tim? Been watching Andy on his channel. What a inspirational fella. God has blessed him with a special purpose in this life.
Tim, you might have covered this already, and if so, I apologize. Have you thought about explaining the difference between engine horse power and pto horse power? I was also told one reason that you need a higher hp tractor for 3 point mowers is because the tractors need to have enough capacity to lift the weight of the deck. I had to learn all of this the hard way and it caused a lot of frustration because I did not size my attachments correctly. You have a lot of knowledge and could explain the process much better than I if this was a topic you chose to tackle. I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work!
That's way too much mower for your tractor. You're talking about a tractor that weighs only about 650 more pounds than the implement you're working with, recipe for absolute disaster.
alienation it does pull it and does a good job cutting but we definitely plan on moving up to something a lot bigger like a international 656 or John Deere 3020 the dealer we got it from said that we are just on the brink of being able to run it as the minimum require pto horsepower is 25 we have 29.5
Thanks for sharing this with us You are wonderful and it is a honor to be able to call you my brother and sister in Chirst Keep your the videos God continue to bless you and your family and church and work
That thing looks likes a Transformer when the wings are up! LOL Thanks Tim and Kristie for the great video. You two work so well together. Absolutely love Kristie's sense of humor! We are going into our 6th week of self-isolation. Thankfully, we can work from home. Praying for your family, and everyone else to stay safe and healthy.
Glad to hear you are able to work through it. We are as well. Thanks for subscribing recently! We had a good time that evening. We were able to relax. No immediate time constraints on this project.
I could watch you work all day long. Last few days I watched all the old videos again. I was fun! Getting a bit jealous when I see the machines you got there. Greetings from Germany!
Appreciate the videos as entertainment. Nothing more satisfying than a video of a tractor being used. Your garage looks like a tractor dealership with the tractors and attachments. Something I'd like to have in the future.
Nice piece of equipment Tim. I have a 5' three-point, single spindle, dual blade, JD 503 hog for my 855 that has been doing a great job for me since 1992, it looks like a train hit it, but I can't kill it. I had to weld a 1 1/2" X 3/8" thick angle iron bumper around the rear apron and a foot or so down each side to bolt it on the machine to keep from bending the rear apron tin up when I would back into hidden dead 4" ironwood stumps, but after I welded on the angle iron bumper, when I backed into a stump I just pushed it out of the ground. Nice video, they do help take our minds off our troubled times.👍🙋♂️
Great that you gave a shout out to Andy (Harmless farmer). He sure is an inspiration and breaks my heart he’s having to deal with cancer. Great video Tim gotta look at a bigger mower .
Tractor Time with Tim Yea he just announced it a week or so ago. Pray for him. Esophageal Cancer. He just started treatment. He got a good attitude and support . Sure hope he beats it. I was so hoping I would have run into him a the Nation farm show. Thanks Tim and send prayers 🙏
When hogging in unknown territory I'd prefer to leave the loader on to knock down heavy brush so that it doesn't scrape up under the tractor and cause possible damage.
i used to take the loader off on the m8540 kubota for bush hogging because i can use the front end of the tractor to run any trees over wich the front bumper and the engine hood on the kubota is soild like a tank wich i ram trees over with the m8540 like nothing wich she is tough
I'm a old bachelor, and an introvert, so all this "stay-at-home, social distancing, avoid crowds" stuff is just normal, everyday life for me. As for the bolt from the bottom thing, I was told it was because if the nut was on the bottom and got loose, it was more likely to fall off due to vibrations and gravity; whereas if the nut was on top, it might get loose but wouldn't unscrew any further, and would stay on the bolt. YMMV.
Did a bunch of work with a John Deere flex wing CX15 and it would go over stuff 3-4" without issue. I find the flex wings also give you longer reach to back the mower further say into a wet area that you couldn't get as close with a 3pt style. I also find it's easier to trim along fence lines with a flex wing because it can basically be done by watching the mirror and you keep the tractor out of the fence.
I recently subscribed to your channel a d have been binge watching for several weeks. You appear to be one of the coolest csts on TH-cam. Thanks and keep em coming.
I pull a 15 foot batwing and love it with my kioti. Yes it has the lever outside and that helps a lot. My arms extend but don’t go,up and down as much as yours. That is a neat feature in hilly country. I would not run the rpm down in epto when mowing heavy brush. On grass it us fine to be a bit lower but it sounded like you had pretty good rpm drop on the tractor when you first hit that bigger brush backward. I thought you might stall it. I am 91 hp so a bit bigger but at 15 foot I need to be. Also with the heavy weight all down low it is more stable on hills. Finally I use my grapple up front to knock down the heavy brush and I can see thru it. I also cam pick up large branches and trees that were blown over in the winter or if it us the first time in a field
Hey Tim, when you get the loader disconnected from the tractor, I’ve found it easier to shut the tractor off, the wiggle the loader joystick front to back, and side to side to release the pressure from the hydraulic hoses. When disconnecting the rears, just put the levers in the float position, and you can unplug them with one hand.
tractorboy31 the cylinders don’t have to be fully extended or retracted to have pressure on them. That’s why when you put the levers in the float position, they have no pressure one way or the other. Your cylinders still have pressure on them when you lower the bucket and loader, and then shut the tractor off. If you lower the bucket, shut the tractor off, and then move your joystick in all four directions,...you have zero pressure on the cylinders and hoses. I’ve shown this process to many of my friends with different tractors, who like to mow with the front-end loader attached. They don’t make the front end loader hose quick-connects, to easily disconnect like they do with the hydraulics on the rear of tractors. On the rear, you can pull those small levers to disconnect the hoses when they are under pressure. Don’t have to shut the tractor down. But when parking equipment, just put the hydraulic levers in the float position, and they pull right out.
Wow, it is amazing what one pass will do!!!! I mean 🤯🤯🤯. It is almost to the point to where you could use a finish mower and keep everything cleaned up. Quarantine has been fine... although I don't have a tractor to play with, were waiting for a few more weeks and the 1979 deere 317 is down for a while (float is stuck and fuel is leaking past rings into the oil😬😬😬, hope the engine isint ruined🙏🙏🙏) for now I got my ATV and the Deere d140
That is a nice mower and a great video showing it’s capabilities. I currently have a 8’ & a 10’ 3PT shredder. Both are dual spindle. I have had the 10’ for years and the 8’ came with a tractor I recently bought. I don’t need both as they are so similar. I am considering selling one or both and buying a batwing. I would probably want to go with a 12’ or 15’ though. My tractor only has 63 PTO HP but I think it could handle it ok. It is a borderline desert here and our vegetation never is very thick. Certainly nothing like what people in other parts of the country have to mow. My shredders are a landpride and a bush hog but I have owned Rhino in the past and I think they make really nice equipment.
Hi Tim. Great video! Have you ever looked into a flail mower? I don’t own one but there are lots of TH-cam videos featuring them. The big advantage to them is that they grind up small trees and leave a very nice finished cut.
I never have used bolts on any equipment. Always hitch pins because there hardened and that's what there designed for. I've also never lost a hitch pin from a piece of equipment. I personally like BushHog brand. I just bought a 2815 15ft batwing last year. Its rated for a 4in tree and has massive gear boxes. Keep up the good video's.
I think the ‘clip’ instead of the more secure ‘double nut” is the risk. That clip could get knocked out via brush. The Rhino Ag manual specifically states to use a bolt.
@@TractorTimewithTim I use the hair pin clips but always push them all the way into the round loop. Sometimes I will also use a 1/4 bolt that's double nutted.
Like hearing your vocabulary. Growing up on a farm in AZ introduced many of the same terms you have used like "stob". It's surprising how similar the methods and techniques exist no matter where you're from.
Tim, whenever you pan across your yard it always feels like you are walking through a farm tractor implement yard/store. The amount of accessories you have is overwhelming. The various vendors have realized how many viewers you have and how much you could give them exposure of their product as long as it can survive your tasks. I could not believe how the TS-10 chomped through some of those large saplings. God bless and stay safe.
Looks like a great piece of property to do all your playing in. Close to home and get paid to boot. Looking forward to many more videos and I may have to start driving by to see if there is any green animals lurking out there.
Hey Tim, why don’t you fill the tires with beet juice for your weight? That’s what I did on my 5303 and I love it. Lots of weight without the hassle of suitcase weights.
Big advantage I see with the batwing mower is ease of hookup/ unhooking. My 7 ft 3 pth brushhog is a bear especially if it's not on concrete. Also the weight of it makes the tractor sink in more when you get into wet spots.
Such a true statement, as for quality of cut my local dealer offers 3 types blades for rough cut mower, high lift, zero lift, for brush and sandy lots, and general use.
I can't believe that you still have all those attachments sitting outside of the shop. If you paid for a round trip plane ticket, I would come out there for a week or two to get the shop 100% finished and organized so everything fits inside the shop. I can build whatever you need to organize it all
Hey Tim, is there a video for first time tractor owners? Something that would walk us through the controls, attachments,and grade limitations on hills and such? Thanks
@@TractorTimewithTim . Thanks Tim, the family is doing well. No issues. The wife and I Have had to make a lot of adjustments to stay connected to our congregation with various strategies and they all are going well even with the changes. Not missing a beat. God's grace is sufficient. This too shall pass. Ya'll stay safe and blessed.
Tim I had a jd 709 3 pt rotary mower rated at 100 hp tractors and I used it with a 50 hp jd utility tractor and I mowed trees up to 4 inches across with it so basically it I could push it over the mower would cut it up I ran that tractor and mower set up for around 30 years And yes you got to be careful of the little tree stumps as they're hard on the tires
Tim, when do you decide to use something like this TS10 rather than the Tough Cut and Ventrac. Clearly having four more feet is helpful but it’s also slower to operate and less nimble. I have some property that I’m buying that is maybe 25 acres of land that will require semi regular maintenance. Maybe 5 acres weekly and 20 acres every month or two. The 20 acre area has quite a few trees and also a few areas with some slope to it. I think the ventrac could be the best option but I’m concerned because I don’t want to spend more time than I have to. Thoughts?
20 acres would be a LOT to mow with the tough cut. The TS10 or TS12 would make it go much faster. But you would need a different machine for the 5 acres weekly. You could start with a Ventrac with both tough cut and 8’ finish mower. Then if it seems like too much work for the 20 acres, add a tractor and TS12
I think one of the advantages of having 3 spindles over just one, is the momentum the blades carry if one gets into something that may attempt to stall it. The momentum from the other two will carry it through the rotation.
Curious If the spindles each have a clutch set up in case you have a chunky tree or thick grass that could stall the pto out on a section of the wing brush hog (slasher in Australia) plus thoughtful word's about the situation and awesome to see you getting videos done still it helps
Those little stumps chew up tires, found that out the hard way years back. Good to see you guys are well. Looks like you got a rental yard going on at the barn!
Looking forward to seeing the Baumalight Brushfire in that mess and how well it functions... Tis a great little playground that plot is for you that's for sure. Should add you got quite the little dealership of equipment there at your place hahaha...
If you put the hitch bolt in with the nut on the top, you will see if it is loosening with just a glance. With the nut on the bottom, you would need to expend much more effort to determine if the bolt is loosening. Just my opinion. My mother's father repaired farm machines in Mt. Vernon, South Dakota. He was part of the "Boisen Brothers Equipment Repair". There were four brothers. They also had the town's gas station. Yep, small town.
Always look forward to TTWT videos. You always do a great job! Ending each episode with a scripture is truly a blessing. Just curious, though. Why is it better to use a bolt than a hitch pin, which is designed for this application?
Woods makes a 10ft bat wing. I have a woods BB48.30 for my 1025r and I'm always impressed how it will cut above its rating. You mentioned how sometimes you think it's going to explode but it keeps cutting, that's my experience. I stalled my tractor once by hitting a stump hidden in the brush. That was the scariest thing I've had happen. Stopped the tractor dead from full PTO speed.
We have a set up at work that has 4 nuts and bolts on a trailer. We put the bolts in from the inside with the nuts on the outside. That way we can see if the nut is starting to back off.
So Vinny will clean up those stobs pretty well with his tough cut mower, but he obviously only cut them down to whatever you have the deck set to. When I rented my Vinny, I had the shop set the deck to 5" for me as I had (no joke) walls of 1"-2" saplings completely filled in with blackberries and other thorn. Vinny's low tire pressure will prevent damage from the remaining stobs, but an agricultural tire or trailer tire might well get punctured. I came back behind Vinny with my Brush Beast, which chopped everything down to 4" . I could have gone as low as 1.5" (IIRC) with Vinny's tough cut deck, but decided the stobs were beaten up pretty well, and would rot over the spring and summer. So far, my UTV and Brush Beast tires haven't been hurt by them, but they are a heck of a tripping hazard. Barring a real forestry mulcher head, wouldn't a flail mower be one of the better solutions for cleaning up the stubble of those saplings?
Are you still enjoying Johnny 5 and the batwing? I recently got a Johnny 5 and am waiting for an EA 1500# boxblade. A mower maybe if there is a market. I’m out in big wheat country now
@@TractorTimewithTim I saw the one where Christy is all bundled up. That looked dangerous. In fact so dangerous, the rental place here won't rent those out without you having business insurance. But they still look fun......
Love your videos. But more importantly your Christian Values that you have. This is your Mission Work and a great venue to get word out to many viewers. Thank you.
Thanks Keith. Yes, we love Jesus.
Good video Tim. Nice explanation of the different spindles. Nice batwing mower ....and yes the Harmless Farmer is very inspiring 👍

One advantage of putting the bolt in from the bottom is there is a lower chance of damaging the thread when going over rocks , tree stumps etc. Also stops the threads from being caked in mud.
Or catching grass and weeds
Only thing is if it loosens up the whole thing will fall out. If it goes in from the top then the nut can fall off and the bolt will still stay there
@@FishFind3000 tim double nutted or you could drill a hole across the end of the bolt and put the nut on then a pin

I think it keeps the threads from getting packed with dirt. ( upside down hitch bolt) God Bless you all.
I LOVE the Rhino videos! It lives up to its name. Just the most fun you can have bush-hogging!
Great video tim :) I'm trying to get exactly what your into and firewood as well. God bless you and you family 😎
Thanks!
Hi Tim. Great video! Have you ever looked into a flail mower? I don’t own one but there are lots of TH-cam videos featuring them. The big advantage to them is that they grind up small trees and leave a very nice finished cut.
Sunday 7am
Good morning Tim!! Looks like you need to build another shed for all your implements
I never have used bolts on any equipment. Always hitch pins because there hardened and that's what there designed for. I've also never lost a hitch pin from a piece of equipment. I personally like BushHog brand. I just bought a 2815 15ft batwing last year. Its rated for a 4in tree and has massive gear boxes. Keep up the good video's.
I think the ‘clip’ instead of the more secure ‘double nut” is the risk. That clip could get knocked out via brush.
The Rhino Ag manual specifically states to use a bolt.
@@TractorTimewithTim I use the hair pin clips but always push them all the way into the round loop. Sometimes I will also use a 1/4 bolt that's double nutted.
My dad has a Kioti nx5010 for golf course work, and the levers on the outside of the cab that lowers the 3point hitch is a really handy feature
Like hearing your vocabulary. Growing up on a farm in AZ introduced many of the same terms you have used like "stob". It's surprising how similar the methods and techniques exist no matter where you're from.
Tim, whenever you pan across your yard it always feels like you are walking through a farm tractor implement yard/store. The amount of accessories you have is overwhelming. The various vendors have realized how many viewers you have and how much you could give them exposure of their product as long as it can survive your tasks. I could not believe how the TS-10 chomped through some of those large saplings. God bless and stay safe.
You guys are awesome
Be well be safe
Looks like a great piece of property to do all your playing in. Close to home and get paid to boot. Looking forward to many more videos and I may have to start driving by to see if there is any green animals lurking out there.
Nice video, great ending!
Hey Tim, why don’t you fill the tires with beet juice for your weight? That’s what I did on my 5303 and I love it. Lots of weight without the hassle of suitcase weights.
I am a big fan of Rimguard. rimguardsolutions.com/TTWT
However, it is not enough rear ballast to handle this hefty frond end loader!!
Big advantage I see with the batwing mower is ease of hookup/ unhooking. My 7 ft 3 pth brushhog is a bear especially if it's not on concrete. Also the weight of it makes the tractor sink in more when you get into wet spots.
Good points. Never thought of either of those! I enjoy mowing with the TS10.
Such a true statement, as for quality of cut my local dealer offers 3 types blades for rough cut mower, high lift, zero lift, for brush and sandy lots, and general use.
I was impressed on how the Rhino went through those trees. Good video.
Another great video. Y'all have a great family channel.
Excited for what's to come when it comes to brush!!!
I can't believe that you still have all those attachments sitting outside of the shop. If you paid for a round trip plane ticket, I would come out there for a week or two to get the shop 100% finished and organized so everything fits inside the shop. I can build whatever you need to organize it all
Hey Tim, is there a video for first time tractor owners? Something that would walk us through the controls, attachments,and grade limitations on hills and such?
Thanks
Not a single video...but lots of our videos address basic issues.
@@TractorTimewithTim
Ok thank you
God Bless you two!
I been waiting for this clean up video. Can’t wait to see more of the clean up.
Thx Tim God bless u all! I love watching your videos😁👍🏻
Looking forward to this new mowing adventure!
Hope you, your family, and your congregation are doing well during this shut down.
@@TractorTimewithTim . Thanks Tim, the family is doing well. No issues. The wife and I Have had to make a lot of adjustments to stay connected to our congregation with various strategies and they all are going well even with the changes. Not missing a beat. God's grace is sufficient. This too shall pass. Ya'll stay safe and blessed.
Good video Tim that bat mower does a good job . I like Andy's channel he is a awesome guy just like you Tim and Christy
Yeah! Get her on Vinny!
Tim I had a jd 709 3 pt rotary mower rated at 100 hp tractors and I used it with a 50 hp jd utility tractor and I mowed trees up to 4 inches across with it so basically it I could push it over the mower would cut it up I ran that tractor and mower set up for around 30 years
And yes you got to be careful of the little tree stumps as they're hard on the tires
Looks like a nice unit!
Tim, when do you decide to use something like this TS10 rather than the Tough Cut and Ventrac. Clearly having four more feet is helpful but it’s also slower to operate and less nimble.
I have some property that I’m buying that is maybe 25 acres of land that will require semi regular maintenance. Maybe 5 acres weekly and 20 acres every month or two. The 20 acre area has quite a few trees and also a few areas with some slope to it. I think the ventrac could be the best option but I’m concerned because I don’t want to spend more time than I have to.
Thoughts?
20 acres would be a LOT to mow with the tough cut. The TS10 or TS12 would make it go much faster.
But you would need a different machine for the 5 acres weekly.
You could start with a Ventrac with both tough cut and 8’ finish mower. Then if it seems like too much work for the 20 acres, add a tractor and TS12
Thanks for the prayers! I like the ts10 Would my jd 3520 be able to pull it?
Yes, I think the 3520 would handle it. Rhino just featured a customer with a 3039r on their twitter this week.
Thanks Tim!
Patts lower link quick hitch works amazing
Loved the mowing...God bless.🙂
I think one of the advantages of having 3 spindles over just one, is the momentum the blades carry if one gets into something that may attempt to stall it. The momentum from the other two will carry it through the rotation.
You may be right! Makes sense.
The other spindles also help reduce shock load on the PTO output of the machine as their momentum acts to dampen it.
Curious If the spindles each have a clutch set up in case you have a chunky tree or thick grass that could stall the pto out on a section of the wing brush hog (slasher in Australia) plus thoughtful word's about the situation and awesome to see you getting videos done still it helps
There is a big slip clutch in front. I can’t remember if there are separate ones on each spindle. I will check.
Is slipping the clutch (es) a required maintenance item on that Rhino mower?
There is a clutch on each spindle similar to larger flex wings. All friction clutches should be slipped at least annually.
Great video tim!!! Have you looked into the lockable tractor hitch pins? They are amazing and fast!! Simple to us also
I use a flail mower for my B2601. Just love it.
Those little stumps chew up tires, found that out the hard way years back. Good to see you guys are well. Looks like you got a rental yard going on at the barn!
Looking forward to seeing the Baumalight Brushfire in that mess and how well it functions...
Tis a great little playground that plot is for you that's for sure.
Should add you got quite the little dealership of equipment there at your place hahaha...
If you put the hitch bolt in with the nut on the top, you will see if it is loosening with just a glance. With the nut on the bottom, you would need to expend much more effort to determine if the bolt is loosening.
Just my opinion.
My mother's father repaired farm machines in Mt. Vernon, South Dakota. He was part of the "Boisen Brothers Equipment Repair". There were four brothers. They also had the town's gas station. Yep, small town.
How did you find out who owns the land and come across the maintenance contract?
sluething :-)
Do you guys have a flail mower? Seems like the best tool for mowing jobs these days.
Soon :-)
Always look forward to TTWT videos. You always do a great job! Ending each episode with a scripture is truly a blessing. Just curious, though. Why is it better to use a bolt than a hitch pin, which is designed for this application?
Hitch pin may fall out. Bolt with lock but or double but VERY unlikely to fall out.
We use a hitch pin and a cotter key and never had one fall out
We use Hitch pins on our big farm tractors we do bolt or wire the bottom not use a clip but we use pins still.
Love your prayer list!!!
I'd be interested in seeing you do a compare/contrast video with a Woods Batwing similar to the TS10.
Woods makes a 10ft bat wing. I have a woods BB48.30 for my 1025r and I'm always impressed how it will cut above its rating. You mentioned how sometimes you think it's going to explode but it keeps cutting, that's my experience. I stalled my tractor once by hitting a stump hidden in the brush. That was the scariest thing I've had happen. Stopped the tractor dead from full PTO speed.
We have a set up at work that has 4 nuts and bolts on a trailer. We put the bolts in from the inside with the nuts on the outside. That way we can see if the nut is starting to back off.
So Vinny will clean up those stobs pretty well with his tough cut mower, but he obviously only cut them down to whatever you have the deck set to. When I rented my Vinny, I had the shop set the deck to 5" for me as I had (no joke) walls of 1"-2" saplings completely filled in with blackberries and other thorn. Vinny's low tire pressure will prevent damage from the remaining stobs, but an agricultural tire or trailer tire might well get punctured.
I came back behind Vinny with my Brush Beast, which chopped everything down to 4" . I could have gone as low as 1.5" (IIRC) with Vinny's tough cut deck, but decided the stobs were beaten up pretty well, and would rot over the spring and summer. So far, my UTV and Brush Beast tires haven't been hurt by them, but they are a heck of a tripping hazard.
Barring a real forestry mulcher head, wouldn't a flail mower be one of the better solutions for cleaning up the stubble of those saplings?
Check out the next episode...with a brush mulcher!
Are you still enjoying Johnny 5 and the batwing? I recently got a Johnny 5 and am waiting for an EA 1500# boxblade. A mower maybe if there is a market. I’m out in big wheat country now
Just fought with my tiller yesterday! Your pto shaft went on a bit easier, LOL. The worst part of tractor implements right there! Nice work.
Well, we edited it to be quicker. You could tell I was out of breath.
You need to try a product called PTO Link.
That's a nice mower.
Yep. Very nice. Works wonderfully!
God bless you guys. Love the last part of the video about the cheeseburgers in the bags of chips :-)
I'm watching it while having dinner
Forestry Mulcher. They're so much fun!
did you see our latest episode?
@@TractorTimewithTim I saw the one where Christy is all bundled up. That looked dangerous. In fact so dangerous, the rental place here won't rent those out without you having business insurance. But they still look fun......
And also you can get a pto quick attach to put on the shaft and the tractor and all you have to do is twist to lock and your all set.
