Watching David evolve into a true TFLteam member has been so much fun! TFLfarm FTW!
Ya got to love David. Hope TFL keeps this series going or give David his own series on anything. I'm sure what ever he's in will be great.
Agreed 👍🏻
David should be official member of the TFL team.
ROMAN !! THANKS FOR LETTING DAVID OPEN THE SHOW ON THE RANCH .. LOVE THE PRODUCTIONS.🙏🙏🙏❤️
David is a great asset to the TFL team! Thank you guys for giving him the spotlight on taming tumbleweed.
David is awesome and a perfect guy to help setup and manage tumbleweed ranch. TFL is lucky to have him on the team.
What an amazing upgrade to the channel David has been.
David is well spoken, full of experience/ knowledge, and a great addition to TFL
David, great equipment rundown. As a fellow Agricultural producer, I always geek out seeing what other producers use for equipment, big or small. We too have a Kawasaki Mule and use it extensively, always outperforms expectations. We are midwestern family farm with row crop corn, soybeans, and alfalfa hay ground. We also have a number of feeder cattle and full farrow to finish pig setup. So our equipment lineup is somewhat different then your probably used to in Colorado.
For pickups we have a number of 3/4 ton Ram and GM trucks. We have had Fords but they didn’t stand up to our use very well. Most are diesel. Our one gas truck can be fitted with a snow blade.
For lawn care throughout our farms we have all zero turns. Most with 60 inch decks and one with a 72 inch deck.
3 skid steers, one of which is on tracks. I think all three are 80+hp.
Our yard tractors that we use for livestock care, auger power, pumps, grain vacs, snowblowers, loaders, etc range from 125-230 horse power. Most all are front wheel assist. Our three loader tractors are all in that 145-155 range.
Our row crop tractors are all front and rear dualled ranging from 250-360 horse. Most of our equipment match our planter in width at 60 ft wide (average in our area)
Our big horse is 570 hp on tracks. Does all our heavy tillage with 54 ft wide cultivators and disk ripper 22 ft wide tiling about 13 inches deep.
Our main grain harvester has a 30 ft corn header and a 40 foot bean draper platform.
I always enjoy the content from Tumbleweed Ranch. I respect David’s hard work and resourcefulness. I would proudly work along side him any day of the week.
Time to take Dave on an overlanding adventure
Noooooo doubt David is the best member of the entire team. What an awesome dude. He's the one you really wanna have a beer with after a long days work 👍👍
David is amazing. Seriously love all that this guy brings to the channel.
Remington makes several pieces of equipment that will help you control your prairie dogs. 😁
Sundays are for church, family and Taming Tumbleweed. I absolutely LOVE this series and I hope it goes on for a veeeeeeeeeery long time.
P.s y'all sure you don't want me to send David my resume?? Coz I've never seen a man work harder while making it look soooo fun🙌🏾😂😂
David is the glue that keeps that place together . Very level headed and no BS approach true farmer blood. Equipment here in central Illinois is about the same . We use John Deere 4240 100hp 4440 150 hp 2 xmark 25 hp mowers a 6 ft brush hog 315. Jd skid loader and a E35 bobcat hoe and that keeps everything under control for the most part . O and a old 1955 WD45 Allis Chalmers just for the hell of it lol great show David as always 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
David is the back forty rock star!
Seriously would love to work with David in person. Such a fun adventure building Tumbleweed Ranch!
Lot of love for David. And rightfully so. What makes him extra cool in my book, is he does not exaggerate. He is humble. And knows he does not know everything and asks for help when needed. And yes, you got the movie reference correct. :) You also(David)got that balance I respect. Knowing there is no 1 right answer, no 1 wrong way. Too many people are narrow minded, arrogant you know what about things it is sad. So, it is next to impossible to answer the question about what would be best for that Ranch.(tractor wise) Def. looks like a few tools job. And I am sure TFL can make that happen. I know one does not "need" that Mule on that ranch technically, since they have so many loaners and owned vehicles to use, but I would say it is as close to a needed vehicle as TFL could justify. Said it the moment the ranch was fully revealed. You have more than a couple people out there at a time doing OR videos. So a tractor won't get it done as a team/equipment mover. And most of the loaners/owned vehicles they don't want to scratch up hauling people and equipment around in, so the Mule is the ideal choice. Do you see sound stages only using street legal vehicles to go from trailer to stage to offices? No. They use golf carts and the likes to whip around in.
Love watching David. Good ol’boy.
On our little farm. We have a 88’ F150 for our farm truck.
Our tractor is a oldie but a good one. 1956 Alice chalmers WD45, we have a dump bucket on it, 5 foot brush mower, rear blade, a plow, small disk.
We have 2 mowers. A 48” zero turn then JD yard tractor 42” mower, along with a small trailer, with is super helpful cleaning up the yard.
Lots of small equipment. Small farm life isn’t easy but love every minute of it.
God bless David and all the TFL team 🙏
Great video, David and TFL!! I am very happy you joined the TFL team on camera, David. You've added a lot without taking anything away from the other contributors. I also love the interplay between you and Tommy. You make a great team.
David !!! Honestly a great addition to the TFL team 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
David is one of the best on the show. Keep him in the loop.
Can we just get a confirmation that this series is indefinite for the foreseeable future? Really enjoy this show!
Hey David, I got a solution for you, cut the arrow section and screw it on the board the correct side, keep up the good work guys.
David could have a spin-off channel and I’d watch it. How bout’ it TFL?? He’s just so likable!
David is great. I love that DAVIDS FOLLY is upside down and backwards, which is the opposite of the real David. But is like the obstacle.
Great to See David handling this content 👏 👍.
We had an powder blue 86 Ford F-350 flatbed 4x4 on the Dairy,as our main ranch truck that thing was a beast , hauling hay, towing tractors ,feeding cow's ect.
Thanks again All TFL
David is such a vital team member now he is the man!!!
This series has been some of the most fun watching you guys build an off-road playground. I’m glad you decided to film the creation of the ranch and I really enjoy watching David teach you guys how to work!
Starting to become the only TFL content I watch.
Because David?
@@TheDeanGullberry Yes, that's some of it. But I also enjoy the less formal content, ala the old Top Gear films, where people muck about with vehicles. So any of the series TFL do, including the upcoming EV trip to the north, are a good watch.
I find I'm not watching the formulaic stuff for any motoring channel as often.
Tommy swinging a sledge hammer is like watching a baby deer walk on ice, no coordination and just something that isn’t going to happen.
Just keeps getting better every weeks! Keep up the great work guys!
Great video David! You are right, you have to have a lot of tools for the all the various tasks! I am lucky that my wife agreed with me; we have to have the right tool for the job! 3 ATV's, 1 Side x Side, one 36 HP tractor with loader and multiple 3 point attachments, riding tractor / mower, mini excavator, 2 pickups, 2 push mowers, gas powered weed eater, ...... and on and on! Life is good!
Thanks for the fun and informative video. Dave you are the best!
I just love this content. David is awesome, and I literally was laughing out loud when him and Tommy were putting in signs.
I watch a lot of TFL content, and I think if you put Andre, Tommy, Nathan, and David together in a show about anything, you'd have a hit! Maybe you could
do a new, "No Pavement Needed". They'd be hilarious on that adventure!
That's not a bad set up. We have: (2) gravely zero turns ( actually have third JD old one we keep for ditches), a Wacker Neuson EZ38 mini excavator, a 55hp Mahindra tractor with fel ( bucket,forks,and grapple), 6' rotary cutter, 6" box blade, 6" tiller, 6" cultivator/hiller and grader blade. The skid loader would be nice but we get by lol. Oh and of course the John Deere side by side. These are for maintenance and garden not the big part of farm. This looks like a great learning experience for you guys.
7:07 For the lever stopper you could just DIY something, maybe ducktape across as a stopper or get a small clamp that fits in the slot.
David is awesome 👏 well done
I used to cut the big lawn of one of the former gravel pits here, and the company had me use their old Kabota with a PTO mower deck, ran it until the temp gauge was near max, then would take it back to the farm house, clean out the radiator with a hose, and fill the radiator with fresh water. I prefer the belly mowers more, as its easier to change a belt, than have to send the PTO in for a drive shaft fix, as happened, when the bolt sheared on the main PTO at the drive shaft. Though I did learn new ways of cutting with the pto mower.
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE
We bought a 1.5 acre property during winter and picked up a Rural King RK25 with the front loader and belly mower. So far its been a great investment for the future of our property
Love the David show!
My mower? 2x 5.000 mAh powered Makita to mow my 50 sqare yards 😁
I bought a Kubota LX2610 for a little over 11 acres on the east coast, mostly wooded. Once I get all my implements (still waiting on most of them), I'll use it for snow/dirt/compost/mulch/gravel/etc. moving with the bucket, brush and log moving with the grapple, pallet moving with the forks, brush hogging, box blading the gravel driveway, landscape raking, wood chipping, tilling, and who knows what else. Compact utility tractors are the Swiss army knife of the land management world. Got a riding mower for mowing, various chainsaws, weedeaters, leaf blowers, etc. Next big purchase is probably a dump small dump/utility trailer for the property that can be pulled by the tractor or a UTV. My farm truck is an old '96 F150 4x4 with a 302.
David rules. The O'Doyles got nothing on him!
David is one of the newest members of the TFL bunch that I most identify with. I'm a custom farmer here and I think David's yaks are cool.
Ran when parked My old Sperry New Holland square baler worked great along side a Massey Ferguson 185 Butane er I mean Propane tractor wide front I've also got a simple drag Hesston hay rake that works and matching round baler that doesn't. When i've produced in the past I sold to a horse barn down the way in exchange for horse manure. The horse barn just got a New Kubota with front end loader and they've got some kind of conditioner that works for their arenas. It's been at least a few years since I had a crop this years not looking so good either. I've got plenty of stuff that comes out of the north end of south bound horses.
I think your 90's model chevy on street tires does better off road than most of the new trucks that show up specially that latest chevy that the plastic bumper fell off of you couldn't run fast enough for me to buy new. and last but not least 2nd or 3rd gen dodge, manual tranny and 1 ton single tire Cummins is dream truck Fiat can keep the Ram but the new interiors are pretty.
TFL is pretty lucky to have David, smart talented guy with a great work ethic! Wish I could see tumbleweed in person! 🤣🤣🤣 OMG I died laughing watching Tommy with the sledge hammer 😂😂
The best farm truck was my Grandfather's fully restored 1969 crew cab Dodge Power Wagon. My Uncle and his army mechanic buddies fully restored an old Army Power Wagon. That thing went everywhere and did everything it was tasked to do.
Really think David adds a lot and keep that gem around....
Only 6 acres but invaluable is JD Gator 825i. Also JD 3720 with FEL. JD GX345 mower has given 10 years of great mowing. Recently got JD Z740R zero turn that dramatically cut mowing time. Last week added a JD 1025R. His and her loaders!
JD 990 with loader, tiller, brush hog and some other plows, tines, disks. JD x738 for mowing and snowblowing.
I would pay to spend a week with David at the Tumbleweed ranch. Would be quite a seminar and the workout of a lifetime!
I agree!
We live in the NE Ozarks on 15 acres of ridge top. We have a John Deere 3043D, a Bad Boy zero turn, a JD 345, an old Kawasaki 4 wheeler and a crapload of implements. My old farm truck is a 2005 3/4 ton Dodge diesel. Then there's the splitter, the chicken plucker, the tillers.....
I have a Honda 5518 lawn tractor with 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering wth gas engine. Front and rear PTOs. It has mowed a acre of grass every week for 30 years and plowed snow with a 6 food blade in the winters. I have every attachment except front loader. 30 years old and never been back to the shop. I wish I would have bought their 25 up diesel tractor when they still made them. Buy quality and you will never regret it.
20:50; Torx are definitely in. When I built a deck, we stripped only one per thousand. That box of screws was expensive(to me) but totally worth it.
Been using a John Deere x580 54” rider for my land in Ohio. Stihl MS 250 and 500 for trees. Along with Echo weed eater and blower.
Looking to add a skid steer and a subcompact John Deere to the fleet.
Truck wise, GMC 1500 and a new 3500 diesel for hauling. Love the channel!!!
3:38 I use a Craftsman push mower, a B&D 20 volt sting trimmer, and hand tools.
Damn david rocked it keep up the great content fellas much appreciated 👍👍
My sister likes the swisher to cut grass on her farm. Uncle has a little John Deere. Otherwise usually have a small chore tractor like a case 600, 730, 970 with a loader. Sister has an Mx series with a grapple fork. Usually snowblower on the Case and have a blade for the four wheel drive tractor. I think a good 4020 would be the best all around chore tractor. Have done almost everything with that. Drilled poles for the cattle shed and almost everything else. My sister still has the old Fordson tractor and it still runs.
I’m partial to Robertson screws myself. I am Canadian though. Lol.
David is correct, that little tractor is ok but you really need a bigger tractor to maintain property. I did the same started with a MF GC1700 series and quickly learned that the extra 10k to jump up into the traditional tractor, MF1800 series, was well worth it. It just made life simpler and quicker.
A JD 4052R is what this property needs
You guys all do a great job
I love the farm can’t wait to see what it turns into
I have only 1/2 acre here in NE Colorado, somewhat broken up, and it's really just a big yard. I'd have no need for, nor could I justify the expense of that 1023. My Deere is a D125, bought in 2014, with a 42" deck. It has the button that allows me to back up without disengaging the blades. I also have a Bomgaar's tow behind 25 gallon sprayer that I use with a 2-4-D mixture for broadleaf weeds. Makes a good combo for my needs.
By the way, I'm in total agreement with you on prairie dogs... pests not pets.
This is awesome content! Thanks for posting!
I knew you guys were gonna want a bigger compact when you bought that one. I would have gotten a bucket though. Even with the skid steer a bucket is so nice.
Skid loader by far gets the most use on our farm. Endless attachments and versatility.
I have been watching you guys for many years now. Got my truck based on your reviews.
This is funny that you guys are getting a list of similar equipment going now on the new property. I just got a large property here in Chesapeake, VA past year. I have been getting equipt for it also!
Just bought a old John Deere 870 a few weeks ago.
Got a side by side at the end of last year.
Got a massive 60” zero turn first last Summer. We get lots of rain and the yard alone is about 3AC and needs a weekly cutting. Actually I used it to reclaim/bush hog the pastures last year. Lol The blades were shot by the end of summer with pieces missing.
That larger framed 28HP tractor is about to live its life doing bush hogging, hay, ditch work, logging, post hole digging, fruit tree planting, spreading manure, driveway maintenance and more! I cannot wait!!!! It is going to pay for itself just installing the fence and fixing the drainage out in the pasture. Then again reseeding the pastures.
My tractor is not a hydrostatic trans. It is a gearbox driven machine with 9 forward gears and 2 reverse. Supposed to worse for loader work but much better for work using ground engaging empliments.
I may get a tiller for it to make that massive garden some day as well.
I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t off-road have a farm or tow shit😳…………but I love watching TFL and the crew and this what they would call a straight shooter David do their thing with trucks and shit! 😆🤙🏽
re: ripping with the box blade. You're traction limited, not necessarily power-limited. For that kind of stuff with a 1-series you'd want to look at loading the tires (ie filling with fluid) and/or using wheel weights to get more traction. Also, with a first pass on a hard-packed rocky road...use less rippers to concentrate the pulling power on a smaller surface area. Or perhaps even look into getting a sub-soiler with a single ripper. But yeah, to your point...the 1-series isn't the ideal machine for that function even if you can get it to work with some strategic adjustments. But if the budget dictates that a 1-series is what you have to work with...you can get the job done with some planning and patience. And don't forget about the diff-lock pedal for additional rear traction
My man knows his perfect farm trucks. I just sold a 98 k2500 7.4 and it took 6 acres to turn it, we just got a 2015 K2500 and it takes 6 acres to turn it (it was the best deal at the time). For farm work that just sucks for so much, including backing trailers and such.
Getting that 1023E, He can now watch tractor time with Tim.
You're also working your prairie dog holes with the wrong 23...should be the .223
Nice Deere! I have a Kubota B 2650 on a little iver 10 acres. Can get all the same attachments just a little bigger size than the one yall got and has a cab for the winter! Definitely recommend a cab for the winter.
Need to fix that creek crossing with the John Deere, hopefully you got the 120R loader. With the loader and box blade you should have no trouble grading the crossing.
I love my Grasshopper 623T Front mount zero turn! They snowblower attachment is amazing as well!
Our family has a remote fish and hunt camp 🏕 in Northern Ontario...most important thing is a 4 wheel drive truck. Getting down to the lake is not bad but the climb up in wet conditions means r wheel drive. Other important tools is boats or canoes to cross the lake to the camp. The camp is very remote. Usefull told is a Garmin Inreach...it is a great communicator and also gets weather forecast based on the location of the device.
Growing up on 80 acres we had a first gen Kawasaki Mule. I was a kid and it was basically my work truck. Worked great!
Great content as always
When using the box blade, switch to Low range on the transmission and raise your RPM a bit, it will pull like a mule. 4wd is best. One thing I noticed is your box blade was not level when in the down position. adjust the top link so it is level when in down position.
been rockin an 80s snapper rider for about 25 years now. doesnt turn for shit but it cuts pretty and super easy to work on
I think 16k$ for basically a glorified riding mower was an insane purchase! All the dirt work or grading they would need to do with that tiny box grader would be way faster and easier with that skidsteer. It would even dig faster than the "ripper" lol on that tiny box grader. I would get if a home owner only had that tractor and nothing else but they already have a skidsteer. They could have saved 15K and came away with a nice mower because that's all they really need. If they need to trench something like he said later, A trencher attachment for that skidsteer is way cheaper and digs just as deep as that tiny backhoe which I bet is another 10k$ for that john deer lol. Also you can rent attachments for skidsteers (even a backhoe attachment) pretty much everywhere in the US. So you don't always need to buy it and save more money on your projects.
If I were you i would take that thing back while you still can and just get a decent mower instead and get your money back. If you need to learn how to use a skidsteer properly there are a lot of good videos about it on youtube. It's a much more efficient machine than that tiny ridiculously expensive garden tractor.
I have a JD Z930 (I think it's called) zero turn and a 1025R with loader, 60” mower, and bush hog. I agree that the 1025R is an invaluable piece of equipment for anyone needing to maintain some acres. I find the few extra HPs of the 1025 worth every penny. I bought mine right before Covid, so I likely paid a lot less than Roman did for his, and that is with the loader, which now I could not live without.
First gen with the 12v Cummins is a good idea.
"Now we welcome you to our new TFLRanch channel, David! what are we going to review today?"... "Well, how to get rid of prairie dogs" 😆😆
Absolutely agree with you 👍 on the best fatm truck
I like an old beat up S10 as a light duty runabout for farming. It is good for checking and mending fences, going to feed your live stock and getting you to and from the outlying fields for planting and harvesting. Lawn tractors for me is a cub cadet
In Canada we favour Robertson (square drive) over either Phillips or Torx for wood screws.
I mean, Yes there's a Mel Gibson Patriot movie, I don't remember if the quote is from it, lol. Meanwhile up here in Canada, we still use Robertson (Square) head deck screws.
Sounds like you guys need a pew pew for those prairie dogs
I have a John Deere 790 tractor 4x4 with the 300 loader on the front. I mow with a 6ft. finishing mower and a 5ft. bushog. Last year I bought a zero turn mower and I will say that it is faster at mowing grass but can not replace my 790.
I have 3 1/2 Acres. I use my John Deere X540 for mowing and my John Deere 4100 for ground work.
My dream truck is a 97 ford f 350 with dual wheels in the back 1 inch lift, and 40 inch tires
5.56 makes short work of prairie dogs.
Here on the Texas prairie, we mow about 10 acres with a diesel 1998 Deere F925 Front Mow with a 72” cut.
A Ventrac machine would be super helpfull around the ranch.
I believe that quote, "aim small, miss small" is from American sniper with Bradley Cooper playing Chris Kyle, could be wrong though.
You guys really need to buy the loader for the tractor. You’ll thank yourself on the resale side.
They're eventually going to want a larger utility tractor 50-75 hp to do field maintenance and other ranch chores.
Great video. I saw the FJ in the garage. If you've decided to keep it, maybe put some KO2's on it and take it around the course. Don't damage it though please lol
I had a half acre to cut on a budget and found a craftsman 13.5 hydrostatic lawn tractor for 50 bucks on Facebook that only sort of made right turns because the steering gear was damaged but made good left turns... ran it for 5 years. 10 bucks a year until the deck rusted out. Sold it for 30 bucks. Winner winner
Deere and old Ford and Intl Farmall tractors.
kioti CS2620. have a excavator and loader on it. with R14 tires that you have. 72" 3 point mower.
