- Tractor Time with Tim came out to help me grade the stone floor in the new 60'X120' storage shed at work. His Laser guided pull type grader box made it a breeze!

We love solar! Family of 3 here in Fremont, Indiana 100% on solar with no regrets. Especially when recent storms took out the power grid for a couple day's.
That's awesome!
This was perfect! The grading process from the Master Operators!!
About 2 months ago I bought a Spectra Precision CR 700 laser receiver to use when I'm building a building pad or above ground pool pad. I made a stick mount that I can secure to my skidsteer bucket and grade without getting out of the machine to check grade. After I got the hang of it, I have been able to grade out my pads to within a half inch or so. That thing has been a game changer. It's amazing what you can accomplish with the right equipment and a little experience. The building is turning out great and hopefully Tim is out of the doghouse by now. Be safe my friend.
That's a great use of your receiver. It is such a tremendous help when you don't have to get on and off the machine. Thanks BD!
Fun to watch a project like this turn out awesome
Absolutely wonderful to see the Koch ladies make an appearance at the end of the video, always smiling. How thoughtful of the girls to make the anniversary cards. Thanks for another great video, Neil.
Neil, I’m enjoying your collaborations with Tim. In fact I subscribed to his channel after you provided his name. Thanks
That's great John!! Thanks so much.
Tim always has the new interesting equipment to check out. Great to see you guys working together. Happy Anniversary to Tim and Christy!
I'm just glad he likes to share!! :)
I love the grading process, making the ground perfect. Thanks for sharing...
First off great video I love watching these crossover videos they compare to if the dukes of Hazzard and the A team had made a crossover when I was kid its so fun to watch
Haha! I like both of those!!!
Hello from the Netherlands Koch family
and thanks for the video Neil .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Thanks 👍🏻
Nice project to watch with Tims equipment helping, thanks for bringing us along
Fun video watching Tim,Christy,Neil work together. Happy anniversary Tim and Christy 👍✊
Watched Tim and Christy's video earlier today. Good to see you all working and enjoying the project together. Maybe you'll get to buy lunch the next time. LOL
Hi Ella and Eva. Nice of you to present Tim and Christy Anniversary drawings.
Glad you went no ads since sponsored. You made TTWT work on their anniversary. Hope you bought cheeseburgers or cheesecake 😀
Very cool, good to see you working with Tim again
It's easy working with them. Very enjoyable.
This was a good one! Segway to the “promotional segment” was slick. Probably feels good to know that you’re Tim’s inspiration. 😂 #circles #outtakes #anniversary #tighthaircut
Thanks Heath!
Agree, promo wasn't intrusive, fit well.
I appreciate both your feedback on the promo spot. I'm glad it didn't feel too intrusive. Still learning on how to do it "right" without being annoying.
Fun video Neil!
Ya know I used to watch Tim quite a bit but to be honest I just got too jealous of him with his 100k + worth of implements he has at any given time to use. Neil on the other hand uses the same 30 + year old equipment that I myself would be using. Watching him overcome challenges like those I would face just makes for better viewing.
Thank you to both of you.
Same here. My motto is “do what you can, when you can, with what you’ve got!”
I’m sorry guys. We don’t intend to invoke jealousy. Obviously, we could not afford this equipment if we had to purchase it.
Also, we recognize that viewers cannot afford these many of these attachments.
We still think it is interesting to learn about them, and see them in action. Perhaps it is not to you? Seems like we are held to a different standard from letsdig18, dirt perfect, etc. no common person can afford their equipment either.
Anyway, we would love to have you join us again, not with the thinking that you should be able to afford all of this, but rather just to enjoy the content.
@@TractorTimewithTim not jealousy - tool envy. I still come by. Keep it up. You went about it right.
Great stuff guys thanks!
That’s going to be the most expensive lunch you’ve never paid for ! 😂 great video
Haha!
You and Tim really do make a great pair, awesome job!
"On grade...." I love that language, I learned what that means from your content and channel! Thanks for sharing, need more!
Awesome video guys! You two make a heck of a team. Happy Anniversary Tim & Christy, many more happy years together!
It’s always great to see good people succeeding
Great video. That grader is pretty cool. The shed is shaping up nicely
My two favorite channels working together. Absolutely love it!
Two of my favorite guys! Great video!
Great technology showcase on both the grade and portable generator. Looks like quite a project and quite a building
Yeah I think both are pretty awesome really. Thanks Jeremy!
Two good channels in one video. Thanks for sharing
I love the collaboration videos you have been doing.
You need to get a Summit system on you tractor. I see another collaboration video.
Wow! What an awesome machine! I need to check it out!!
So great for you to share that project with TTWT. Thank you for sharing! (Happy anniversary you two!)
Always enjoy a good collaboration with ttwt and family.
I finally finished the Pull type Grader box for my Kubota RTV a few weeks ago based on your plans but haven't used it yet. I don't have hydraulics so I used the actuator option, but it works great from the cab. I did deviate a bit from the basic plans you presented, but without them, it would have been a lot harder doing the configuration. I have some snapshots of it that I will send you if you want to see it completed. I still have to do the finishing work (paint) on it, but it operates great and I can watch it in my rearview mirror. I just wanted to say thanks for giving me and everyone else a guide and starting point with your video. The final word is a Movie reference: We don't need no stinking lasers Tim (LOL).
Hey, that's fantastic to hear Richard! I'd love to see some pictures of it when you get done so send them my way. I'm glad you found the videos helpful and you'll be having fun with that box before you know it. Thanks so much for tuning in.
Two great TH-cam channels working together! Congratulations to all. Wonderful video!😁
Looks good
That’s a cool system. Great video Neil!
Works great . Happy anniversary To them !
Thanks Steve!
Great video Neil. I spent the day tearing out a fence, while saving the pickets for projects and dealing with and dead A/C unit. Good thing it’s only 104 today.
Oh man! Why is it that AC units quit on the hottest days? Hope you got it fixed!
great job boys
Nice job
Thanks Brock!
Doing this tyoe of work ans learn from you woukd be a great experience for a winner of contest!
Happy anniversary
that's slicker than a moles nose. Great job,I worked with CMI machines for years cutting grade on rode work they ran off strings and sensors.
It turned out awesome 😎. Thanks for completing it!
Good times! Glad you gave it your seal of approval!
Thanks for letting us play in your playground, Greg!
I really appreciate you coming up. You did a fantastic job.
another great job keep up the good work 😁
Hi Neil, it's been a while since I last watched your channel. I like many was visited by covid19 unfortunately given my poor health it was more than I expected. Anywho, I have been catching up with some binge watching. I just finished watching your kitchen re model. I have specified numerous kitchen designs over the years as a commercial interior designer and I have to say I am so impressed with the quality of the painting of your kitchen cabinets and that you made the effort to get the prep work done to the best standard that you could and I am really looking forward to seeing the finished kitchen with its new worktop. I really enjoy your channel and you have a wonderful family. Best wishes and stay safe J.
Glad to hear you're doing better. Sorry you had a bad go of it though. Thanks for getting caught up. Watch for that next kitchen remodel video very soon! Really appreciate the kind words!
Nice job! The grade box is sweet! Looking forward to some drive projects!
I haven't forgotten.... Thanks for hanging in there :)
love the new haircut, Neil!
I called that a few vids ago. Keep it up. Thank you
Haha! I knew someone mentioned it!
@@digdrivediy
Thank you. Glad you all had fun
Neil...... You're a good man and you've been so very kind to respond to my comments in the past..... it is for that reason I'm not going to say anything about Towering Tim....... I felt bad enough when you went to see Adam.......
Haha! No worries. I am well aware that I'm vertically challenged 😋
It's not really so much that I'm short, it's just that everyone else is so tall...
@@digdrivediy Tall is not all it is cracked up to be. Tall people have to duck more often and bump their heads more frequently. So vertically challenged gives me more to strive for while tall people have no further goals in that department. Perhaps growing your hair back will add an inch or so? LOL
Great work and nobody gets work done like Hoosiers
Nice!
Thanks Chad!
Could have used something like that about 2 years ago. Nice job, that’s a handy machine. Stand your ground Tim, dinner is more expensive, just sayin!!!!😏😉 Neil forgetting the wallet is a result of some timers disease, some times you remember, sometimes you don’t, they say it comes with age!!??..😬
Ha! You can count on another Collab with TTWT now cause I still owe him lunch! :)
Where did you go for cheeseburgers?
Also, have you seen the Aeropress? Heat water on your propane stove, make coffee with aeropress, French press, pour over, etc. You'll never earn your smug cloud with drip coffee!
Oh yeah, great video with Tim! I love that fancy box grader, but yours will always be my first love.
We visited an upscale fancy restaurant called "Harlan Cafe". It sounds French.
I'll have to check out that Aeropress. May be too fancy for me though. I thought I was a step above just by not using instant crystals! :)
Seriously though, the pour over does sound good 😊
Very interesting technology. It’s kind of like the new technology in the new cat dozers
Yes, very much so. It was fun to play with for a day.
You really need a track skid steer!
hi there nice show
That laser guided grader box certainly has it's benefits. Not for the average owner by any means, though. Now for small commercial use? Yeah, that is a really cool piece of equipment.
You guys really worked well together to get that floor graded. Great video!! See you next week, or when you get another video ready to post. Curiosity is killing me though. How is the kitchen coming along? I'm hoping its finished by now. Can't wait to see the video for the kitchen remodel. Thank you Neil.
Hey Susan! Thanks as always.
The kitchen is in full use. I hope to have the final video posted this next Sunday. I've filmed everything just need to edit :)
Kara's very happy with it so I think it was a success!
I’ve got a dozen lights , gate openers , sprinklers , cameras . Most have been in service 2 to 3 years on original batteries although I’ve upgraded one gate opener with night / motion light so far it been pleasant surprise with two have replaced due to wind damage .
Every now end then gates get slow and it’s time for cleaning the panel
Thats pretty good life for those batteries!
Very nice job Neal & crew! For storage that beats the expense of concrete in my opinion. Thanks for taking us along on another great project. What’s the battery life ( meaning change) when you are say running your sump pump? Looks interesting 🤔. Take care my friend!
Thanks Mike!
I think Greg is gonna have this full in no time!
I don't know on the run time just yet. I haven't ran it long enough yet.
cool tool, great video let us know how you like the color power box after you use it for a while
I may do a review on it after the summer is over.
*That thing is pretty slick. A little bigger tractor and that would be a real useful tool for a lot of applications* #WorldsOkayestFarmer
Yessir! Thanks for watching!
I’ve used that, “I forgot my wallet” excuse before. But, I had a friend who was an expert with it. He always wore sports shorts without pockets…
I was talking to another buddy who brought up that our mutual friend appeared to be a ‘freeloader’. So, we set him up. Before credit cards and debit cards were a thing…. We went over to pick him up for lunch. My buddy reminded him to grab his wallet. He walked back to the house and got it.
We went to the local burger place where burgers were two for a dollar. A drink and bag of chips cost another dollar. Taxes were 6%. So, his lunch was $2.12.
When it was time to pay, he pulled out his wallet and announced that he was out of cash. All that he had was a check. My buddy didn’t miss a beat and asked the burger guy, “You take checks. Doncha?”
He nodded his head and handed the ‘freeloader’ a pen. My buddy and I exchanged smiles as he wrote out the check. After that, he always seemed to remember his wallet with cash in it!
I like the idea of a tow behind box blade. Having two axes of positioning certainly improves the prospect of leveling. Laser guidance is like polishing a ripe apple. It is truly a slick system. And, by setting the level control higher or lower than the grade control, can even work tolerably well to build a crown (or side slope).
But, I agree with you that most driveway projects would be better done manually. Now, if you were going to pave the roadbed, it would be awesome to establish a proper slope and grade it automatically.
Neil… do I see a modification to add a second axis capability to your grading box in the future? If so, you are going to need an indicator to be able to know when the wheels are at the same depth. Otherwise you’ll chase your tail trying to find level. Some kind of Vernier type pointer and scale between the two wheel mounts might do it?
Thanks Neil… you guys gave me a bunch to think about!!!
Oh boy! We all know one of those guys! I certainly didn't want to be "that guy" on this day though. It's especially embarrassing when you make a point of grabbing the check and then not realizing until you're standing at the register that you don't have your wallet! In the words of Bugs Bunny; "What a maroon"!
That grader box is really slick. I would have used it many times over the years. The best part for me was pulling that type of drawbar style grader box with the larger subcompact tractor. It was just so much more capable than Brutus unfortunately.
I don't think I'll be modifying my current greater box, but I do have another project in mind for my bigger tractor. I'd like to convert a 3 point box and the tilt function has really been something that intrigues me. I'm going to give it plenty of thought here yet.
Thanks for checking out both versions of the video, Dave!
Great video Neil. Maybe I missed you saying, but how long did the job take?
We spent about 6 hours of actual grading. Sometimes hard to tell when filming and working with a new piece but we could be much faster next time. Thanks for watching Rick!
I’m just wondering why you used the backhoe to remove the excess, when the John Deere had a bucket on the front??
It was just a matter of time savings is all. The 1025R could have done it all but hard to do loader work with the grader in tow.
Good stuff man. I just want a laser and a stick that’s cheating! Check out my concrete video from last week. I needed it!
Barn looks great. I can’t believe y’all aren’t covered up in the fields this time of year.
I need to check that out. You're right it did feel a bit like cheating!
I have a 755 that needs the motor rebuilt or replaced. is there a place where you get parts for these old tractors? do you know where I could buy a used diesel engine for this?
I don't know anywhere specific to look. I'd try one of the Facebook groups. They seem to be the best place to look nowadays.
Dirt perfect had laser system made for his tile plow, those seem awesome.
It looks like Stevie Wonder welded those weight brackets with his feet….
Nah. They're pretty good really:)
The old I forgot my wallet shame on u and on their anniversary they had to pay for lunch tut tut 🎂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know! I felt like a real tool! 🤣

This is so old we God way better in Holland 😂
It wasn't technology that brought us the better cordless drills. It was Chinese manufacturing and their access to the Lithium for the batteries, etc. Solar panels aren't new. They've been around almost since the diode/transistor was invented. They just aren't a cost effective alternative to traditional power sources and neither are all these windmills. I would remind you all of a little company called "Solyndra" that Obama poured a bunch of our tax dollars in to because they were big campaign contributors. This was money that was supposed to be for "infrastructure" and "shovel-ready jobs". Remember that? Yeah well they walked off with our tax dollars. So yeah, they're politicized and will stay that way.
Ok
This is just one big infomercial. Not up to the standard of the previous videos. Very disappointing.
Boy, sorry you feel that way but I can understand why. Certainly not many of my videos have had much advertisement within. Most of them I do without any endorsements and I still have a huge cost of time and energy. Most videos I make much less than minimum wage. I hope you can understand the desire to get a little more return on my time investment once in awhile.
The cost to you should still be free in either case.
I understand the need to make some money. Maybe just one product per video instead of two?
@@jeremynealqld Sure thing. Although I wasn't sponsored by Tim's grader box but rather I was just really impressed with it. I didn't mean for it to be an infomercial for that but I guess it was.
@@digdrivediy I’ve been enjoying the videos otherwise. Keep up the good work.
