I really like that rubber blade edge idea, I'll have to try that next season on my 212. I love my JD wheel spinner too, ever since I installed it, I could never go back.
I still love my good ol back blade Mom bought a new cub lawn and garden tractor w a 46 deck and a 42 blower to maintain her driveway but i still use the big tractor clear out the main driveway when i get up here on weekends I just drive where i want with my 97 f350 4x4 dually so far
I enjoy the videos. After seeing you with the toothbar on your tractor and how well it worked I installed one on my tractor. Will test it out tomorrow if it is not raining.
Your Daughter was in Alabama while you had foot of snow on the ground in Indiana. We were getting ready to cut our grass for the first time a couple weeks after Valentines day lol. Really enjoy your videos I use to have a Kubota BX series and I really liked it a lot. I have a small lawn service I normally start cutting grass in early March and quit around Halloween.
That is interesting. I noticed that our snow plowing videos are doing really well recently. This one is older (before we got our GoPro), and I'm not as happy with the videography as with the newer one (Plowathon 2018). Still, it is often enjoyable to see a task accomplished.
Tractor Time with Tim Yes I saw that one. In fact that one brought me to your channel. Have been binge watching TTWT for 3 days off and on. I live in Merced California where we don't ever get snow but love plowing videos. Maybe I secretly want to move where it snows.
Thanks for watching. I hope it hasn’t felt like a wasted 3 days! We have hundreds of hours of video now. So if all goes well, we can suck time out of you like a vacuum cleaner! One area you might like is the playlist titled ‘family harvest videos’
Yes. We love those too. She says those random thoughts don’t come as easily now that she is older! Let’s hope she doesn’t totally lose it. Did you see her tirade about men under 30 with beards? Classic.
I have a 1998 955 and live in Delaware, with a loader and i do not scrap clean the drive due to it being gravel, I'm happy with getting close and let the sun do the rest. the tractor is great with 4' and 5ft snow drifts
Sounds like you could use a set of edge tamers. Check out edgetamer.com . Use coupon code TTWT for 5% discount. Also, you can check out our videos demonstrating how well they work.
So Indy got some snow. Glad you got to practice. Nice of you doing the neighbors around you too. You do know the safety police are going to be all over you?! I enjoyed watching the 1025 doing what it was meant to do. I don't need a blade down here so I just use the FEL. Nice touch at the end with Pete. Does Pete just run around where ever he wants? To many hunters around here, he wouldn't last long. Even if they knew he was a pet to someone they'd still shoot him. I have a barn cat that killed a small rabbit once. Left the remains for me to take care of. Not pretty. Thanks for the video and let Christy know I appreciate her doing it in the cold. BTW, the shed looks great, inside and out. Take care. Levi~~
nice vid. :) i hate bladeing snow. i have a blade on my atv i end up breaking the winch cable all the time.. i'll be so happy when i can get my hands on a biger tractor with a blower..
***** i might like it.. i want 2 get a cabed tractor, im getting tired of freezeing my butt off..lol if u have gotin over a foot u would find a blade useless. but i guess u have a blower 2 take of that.. see i dont so i have 2 move all that snow with that blade, a pain in my side.. but i'll take that over useing a shovel..
The time a tractor with independent rear brakes is nice to have in times like that. My Kubota is a GST with a shuttle shift. I can unlock the brakes and operate independent if needed. A 9' turn diameter can go about half with turning brakes in use. But does NOT work well in 4x4.
+Duke Snyder I waxed mine the first season. That really helped. Then forgot last season. It needed something in this video. One other thing I did wrong was to leave the warm shed and immediately start plowing .... before the blade cooled off.
4 reasons why I don't have a snowblower: 1) we don't get too much snow here in central Indiana. It is cold here, but relatively dry during the winter (at least compared to many other areas). 2) The blower mount (including PTO) must be manually removed to attach the loader or mid-mount mower. It is much easier to switch from blade to loader, or blade to mower. ...and yes, believe it or not, I have mowed AFTER a snow in each of the past two years. I use the mower to 'mulch leaves', and some seem to fall quite late. 3) It is cold...the snow blows right back into your face unless you have a cab. ...which leads to #4... 4) The cost. I just can't justify it. ..and the blade works GREAT for me.
Completely agree not to mention that a blower can not get up to a garage and a blade if used by someone that is comfortable with it is much much much faster.
What's the deepest snow that, that particular snow plow setup can push at one time? I've heard it can have issues with pushing and angling the blade if the snow is too deep, and also wet and heavy. Any feedback would be awesome. I'm an Army Vet, where this setup would be ideal for me. Thanks so much, I really enjoy all of your videos. Please keep them coming. Thanks Tim:)
I do my driveway and others, just by using my bucket. It’s faster, I can make piles, instead of just pushing snow which’ll prevent your plowed space to get smaller and smaller over time. This is because, you can only push the snow so far, and as it melts, freezes and repeats... Good luck on trying to push it later in the winter snowy season. The plow is mostly a seasonal type of attachment that’s used, unless your going to push dirt all summer long? Another huge factor is that, I save myself $1,600 for the plow, front end connector and pto. The bucket can be used for almost anything over just a straight plow blade. Plus. Last but not least... If you don’t have the storage for your attachments? It’s just another attachment that you have to keep outside. In my opinion(which is just mine and mine alone!). I think the plow setup is a complete waste of money.
+Nrfa have you considered the edge tamers featured in my recent videos? Edgetamer.com. Use code TTWT for 5% discount. There things will help you keep from gouging with the bucket. And they are very cost effective.
I have a snowblower on a cub cadet and a blade on my other tractor. If the snow is real deep like 1.5 foot or more the snowblower is the way to go. Just 8 inches or less blade is much faster. Snowblower is bad on a gravel driveway. Miss the snow but still throw stones.
I live in Northern Michigan. I have a corn field across the road and I was pushing snow from my driveway across the road when a Police car was coming down the road. I got a $500. fine for doing that. They said it's against the law to push snow form your side of the road across to the other side. No one called the police, they just happen to be coming with I crossed the road pushing snow. I knew it was against the law but thought being a corn field it would be ok. I'm not sure if I owned the land if I can do it. Doesn't matter, I don't own it.
Tim love your videos!!! I just got a snow blade for my 1025r. Do you think you could do a video on how to set it up and use it so you don't destroy your driveway. I'm a little nervous about tearing up my driveway on the first use. Thanks
I have several videos on setting up the snow blade, including featuring the rubber cutting edge from Artillian. Do you have a concrete/asphalt driveway?
I bought the wrong piece adapter fir snow plow from Artillian a month ago can’t get an RMA from them to return it what should I do right one on the way
Have you considered using the artillian mounts for the fel? I have a long drive and am considering the 54" blade and wondering if I should go with the set up you use or a full artillian one.
+Nick Netherland summary is...all of the parts are re-used when mounting to fel via artillian adapter. So, I recommend buying the standard blade setup. Try it out...if insufficient, then add the fel adapter. make sense?
I was wondering if you could give some hints to what the black extentions are? Where did you purchase them? They look like heavy rubber, can you confirm? Thanks
Looking if anyone has any ideas where to get a winter front for the 1025R. My thought is looking at something like removing the radiator screen for the Winter an slide a sheet of plastic as a Winter front (would love it to be JD Green & what would be even sweeter if it had the JD Logo laser cut in it for some air flow through the radiator). So in short anyone came across something like this & where.
I would recommend cereal box cardboard between radiator and clean out screen. Make sure you leave a hole (3-5” diameter depending on climate) for air to get through.
Great video Tim ! I could watch people plowing snow all day, lol. Hey, questions: Any chance you can do a video on the accessory lights you installed above your amber ROPS lights? I am wanting to add additional lighting to mine when I get it shortly.... and am curious what lights you bought and the process of the install. That would be fantastic and much appreciated. Are they LED?
That would be fantastic! I have been looking at various lights... and was also curious how they are wired for power - where the wires are run/hidden, etc. Thanks so much! Excited to see that .
You should always run PTO implements at high RPMs. This reduces stress on the components. So, full throttle is great. Having said that, there are likely times that you don't want to throw the snow so far/hard. In those cases, it won't hurt to lower your throttle a bit. Just don't put a huge load on it while you are running less than rated RPM. There is a gauge on the dash. When the mid/front PTO is in use, your rates PTO speed should be 2000 or more. This will mean engine RPMs of 3000 or more on the 1-series. Make sense?
Yes, the blade is not good on the grass. However, have you seen our video on the 'edge tamers' for the front end loader? With the edge tamers installed, the front end loader can glide right across grass or rock driveways. They work beautifully. ...check it out...and remember the TTWT discount.
Another great video. You two make a great team😃. How much did your whole entire snowplow with rubber sides, quick connect, and all cost? I'd defiantly do it the same as you are here. The snow wasn't always on the plow, during the whole video. What type of wax works the best for you? Maybe candle wax? I use to use that on bottom of sleds, when I was younger. In all of your videos.. Is this what you do for a living, or more of a hobby?? Thanks. Great vid as always. Thanks again. I really wish you could somehow answer my how to mow in reverse question? Or how to mod it where I can drive left footed under the brake, so I don't have to drive cross legged. Army Vet. Amputee asking for any help that you can. Thanks so much.
+Tmac Tmac The blade and necessary parts are $1300-$1400. The wings (rubber sides) and rubber cutting edge are available at www.artillian.com After buying one rubber cutting edge, you can learn how to make your own. Regarding the 'mowing in reverse', we will make a video about how to fix that. Meanwhile, use a clothespin to hold the PTO button up. This will do the trick temprorarily. (As you know, you can pull up the lever to allow reverse...the clothespin will do that for you. I'll show this in the video as well. This is only a hobby. A way to decompress from my real job. I am a software developer.
+Tractor Time with Tim thank you so much. Thanks so awesome. Your videos inspire me so much. You and your daughter make a great dynamic duo for sure👍🚜.
+Tmac Tmac Are you a member on www.greentractortalk.com? Could you contact me via private message on greentractortalk.com? I would like to discuss some items with you further.
+Tractor Time with Tim I tried to register/create an account on greentractortalk.com several times yesterday. I didn't have any luck. I couldn't get past the first/main page. One question was"referrer?" I put,"tractor time with Tim." It kept coming back saying error? I was wondering if you know, what answer their looking for here? Do you have a different screen/user name, that you use on that site? Thanks so much. Have a great day!!
+jeremy lee (JohnDeere4960) Thanks for watching. I have essentially done that. Of course, not all in one video. We have tried to demonstrate everything we do with Johnny. Have you watched all of our videos? If not, I recommend looking at them from our main channel page. I have created several playlists there attempting to segment them into different sections. Do you see a specific attachment that you would like more detail on?
ive watched all your videos. I love them, keep the content up. would really like to see more on the front snow blade you got and the backhoe. im lookin into buying the same tractor with blade, loader, and a deck
+jeremy lee (JohnDeere4960) Thanks for watching them all, wow, hopefully not all in one day! So, you would like to see more close-ups of the attachments, how they attach, how they work (like the snow-blade angling back and forth, etc?
Well, this certainly isn't the cheapest way to get into the snow plowing business. The tractor and plow (without loader, mower, or other accessories) would probably be $11,000 or so.
+Tmac Tmac obviously every snow is different. So I can't say t will handle every snowfall. I can only say that it has worked beautifully in every instance for me. It works best if 'waxed' before the season starts...makes it nice and slick. I've never had traction issues with the tractor.
Never too late. Your Deere dealer will have one setup for you in a day or two :-) Tractor, mid-mount mower, and loader less than $16,000 if you are a decent negotiator. Blade and hitch accessories ~$1500. Do not buy a 1025R without a loader. Would be a mistake. If you truly don't need a loader, then you should get a different machine. My opinion of course. Use 'build your own' at deere.com to configure your options. Then, subtract 15-18%.
I'm really surprised that you don't have any kind of enclosure on your 1025r yet? You can get a heater for it too:) I see you can get a hard top, plastic like enclosure on Amazon for under $900. I'm not sure if the heater yet. I see you follow,"mert2." He has a video showing the enclosure with heater. When you have time... Check it out. Did the rubber ends of your plow come with your whole plow kit? I was just at my local JD dealer where I got my new 1025r this past March. I was told for the plow, the lift, the whole 9 would be $1500 for the 54" plow kit like yours. Does that include the rubber tips on each end of the plow???
Tmac, click on my channel (by clicking on my name). then choose the 'about' page, then select the 'for business inquiries', then type in the characters shown (to prove you are not a robot), then you'll see my email address. Tim
+Allison Lawn and turf care Short answer $1300-$1500. For a more accurate answer, use this link: www.muttonpower.com/p-9524-john-deere-54-quick-hitch-front-blade.aspx There are several different components necessary, and this website allows you to select the specific parts needed for your specific tractor.
Tractor Time with Tim: funny thing, I try that too. But not all of my neighbors want it done for free. Some are willing to pay me to do the work with my tractor, and do it at a quicker pace than they can with wheel barrow or wagon. But I will give "senior discounts" to locals in town, especially garden tilling jobs. Doing a garden in 4 passes just doesn't justify a $50+ bill. If they are at least willing to pay half price just for diesel is good for me.
+Bigdaddyluv68 I did not. The socks were underwhelming. Too much pain to get on and heated. She never has got them out again. Have you watched any of our other videos?
Why would they show someone standing on the plow while plowing. This is unsafe and they don't seem to care as long as they can get their video. Will not watch their videos again.
People just don't understand how much fun it is to play with power equipment!
A good deed to a neighbor. .....love to see this....its like its supposed to be.....great equipment. .....
Appreciate your video but really like how y'all look out for one another. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Tim, you need to build a box that hooks to the 3 point and has sides to Christy doesn't fall out.
I really like that rubber blade edge idea, I'll have to try that next season on my 212. I love my JD wheel spinner too, ever since I installed it, I could never go back.
The rubber cutting edge really works nice. ...and yes, the spinner knob is incredibly handy.
Yessss onboard views! I’m sure your neighbors would I’ve appreciated that Tim
I still love my good ol back blade
Mom bought a new cub lawn and garden tractor w a 46 deck and a 42 blower to maintain her driveway but i still use the big tractor clear out the main driveway when i get up here on weekends
I just drive where i want with my 97 f350 4x4 dually so far
Great video thanks for sharing
I enjoy the videos. After seeing you with the toothbar on your tractor and how well it worked I installed one on my tractor. Will test it out tomorrow if it is not raining.
+Joe Mallory excellent. Katriel calls it the 'spork '
Tractor Time with Tim you should of thrown her of 😉😉. yose a go pro
You guys are a good couple
Your Daughter was in Alabama while you had foot of snow on the ground in Indiana. We were getting ready to cut our grass for the first time a couple weeks after Valentines day lol. Really enjoy your videos I use to have a Kubota BX series and I really liked it a lot. I have a small lawn service I normally start cutting grass in early March and quit around Halloween.
Wow. I had forgotten she was in Alabama. This was a long time ago!
I’ve talked to Tom twice I wanted Tim to know it he working hard for them
I hope it snows some here so I can try all this out I’m glad we can even if we dint need to
Yes on the Go Pro!!!
Tim, thanks for the videos
best valentines gift for a guy with a tractor, is a cab
I really like these snow plowing videos . It's oddly satisfying to see it plowed.
That is interesting. I noticed that our snow plowing videos are doing really well recently. This one is older (before we got our GoPro), and I'm not as happy with the videography as with the newer one (Plowathon 2018). Still, it is often enjoyable to see a task accomplished.

Thanks for watching. I hope it hasn’t felt like a wasted 3 days! We have hundreds of hours of video now. So if all goes well, we can suck time out of you like a vacuum cleaner!
One area you might like is the playlist titled ‘family harvest videos’
I like them all especially ones with Katriel random thoughts. lol
Yes. We love those too. She says those random thoughts don’t come as easily now that she is older! Let’s hope she doesn’t totally lose it.

+Tractor Therapy someone made it for me for Christmas.
Say no more. I understand. I have one of those too, and a scarf :)

+Scott F. It works beautifully!
Where did you find that thick rubber? That’s a great idea!!
Can you plow and push any gravel for your driveway with the plow? Just wondering if that’s an option...
The quick hitch mechanism is not very strong, so I would not recommend it.

Thanks Tim. I will be in contact.
So Indy got some snow. Glad you got to practice. Nice of you doing the neighbors around you too. You do know the safety police are going to be all over you?!

they have a non stick coating for mowers and grass cake ups but it works for snow plows
The time a tractor with independent rear brakes is nice to have in times like that. My Kubota is a GST with a shuttle shift. I can unlock the brakes and operate independent if needed. A 9' turn diameter can go about half with turning brakes in use. But does NOT work well in 4x4.
Dude... have all the lights and flashers going, it drives me crazy haha
Yea, no flashers for me in our culdesac. I would use them if on a busy street.
GoPro for sure!
seems like all that happened was the last quarter inch of snow got compacted ... seems like heaven for ice
Of the 8 years that i have done snow removal here in Quebec province,i have done snow removal on 3 Valentine s Day!
I was working with Kubota tractors,not as good as Jonny!
I spray my 54" blade on my JD X700 with silicone spray each time I go out plowing, works well here in NW Wisc.
+Duke Snyder I waxed mine the first season. That really helped. Then forgot last season. It needed something in this video.
One other thing I did wrong was to leave the warm shed and immediately start plowing .... before the blade cooled off.
I waxed my blade and buffed it and made it as slippery as possible witch will help the snow roll off.
I vote "Yes" on the GO PRO!!
I'm surprised you don't have a front mount snowblower. Great video!
4 reasons why I don't have a snowblower:
1) we don't get too much snow here in central Indiana. It is cold here, but relatively dry during the winter (at least compared to many other areas).

Tim, Would you prefer a blade on a mount hooked to the loader arms so you can raise the plow higher ?
I do my driveway and others, just by using my bucket. It’s faster, I can make piles, instead of just pushing snow which’ll prevent your plowed space to get smaller and smaller over time.

I have a snowblower on a cub cadet and a blade on my other tractor. If the snow is real deep like 1.5 foot or more the snowblower is the way to go. Just 8 inches or less blade is much faster. Snowblower is bad on a gravel driveway. Miss the snow but still throw stones.

Look at the rubber edge from Artillian. Look at my videos showing the rubber wings and cutting edge. I show the installation.
Just need to do the main road
Doesnt your city disallow pushing snow from driveways into the street? Most cities/towns forbid the practice, to the point of issuing citations/fines

damn Mr. Tim. you sure do have a lot of attachments for your tractor. do you also have a seeder thing that you could use to spray salt with?
don't want to use any salt if I can help it. We typically don't need it.
Tractor Time with Tim ok i can dig that.
Use urea instead of salt. Melts snow/ice almost as well and fertilizes in the spring.
Need a heated cab for two
+John Kaufmann yep. Must be close to Valentine's Day again!
You should get a garden tractor
i have 1025r and front 54 snowblower. this will be my first winter and would like to know how much rpm on my pto.for snowblowing.
You should always run PTO implements at high RPMs. This reduces stress on the components. So, full throttle is great. Having said that, there are likely times that you don't want to throw the snow so far/hard. In those cases, it won't hurt to lower your throttle a bit. Just don't put a huge load on it while you are running less than rated RPM.
There is a gauge on the dash. When the mid/front PTO is in use, your rates PTO speed should be 2000 or more.
This will mean engine RPMs of 3000 or more on the 1-series.
Make sense?
I'll stick with my Quad for plowing snow
By the way, does the tractor rip up lawns using the blade?
Yes, the blade is not good on the grass. However, have you seen our video on the 'edge tamers' for the front end loader? With the edge tamers installed, the front end loader can glide right across grass or rock driveways. They work beautifully. ...check it out...and remember the TTWT discount.

The snow wasn't always on the plow, during the whole video. What type of wax works the best for you? Maybe candle wax? I use to use that on bottom of sleds, when I was younger.
In all of your videos.. Is this what you do for a living, or more of a hobby?? Thanks. Great vid as always. Thanks again. I really wish you could somehow answer my how to mow in reverse question? Or how to mod it where I can drive left footed under the brake, so I don't have to drive cross legged. Army Vet. Amputee asking for any help that you can. Thanks so much.
+Tmac Tmac The blade and necessary parts are $1300-$1400. The wings (rubber sides) and rubber cutting edge are available at www.artillian.com After buying one rubber cutting edge, you can learn how to make your own.
Regarding the 'mowing in reverse', we will make a video about how to fix that.
Meanwhile, use a clothespin to hold the PTO button up. This will do the trick temprorarily. (As you know, you can pull up the lever to allow reverse...the clothespin will do that for you. I'll show this in the video as well.
This is only a hobby. A way to decompress from my real job. I am a software developer.
+Tractor Time with Tim thank you so much. Thanks so awesome. Your videos inspire me so much. You and your daughter make a great dynamic duo for sure👍🚜.
+Tmac Tmac Are you a member on www.greentractortalk.com?
Could you contact me via private message on greentractortalk.com? I would like to discuss some items with you further.
+Tractor Time with Tim Currently I am not. But I'm going to now. I'll become a member, and get a hold of you. Thanks so much👍🚜.
+Tractor Time with Tim I tried to register/create an account on greentractortalk.com several times yesterday. I didn't have any luck. I couldn't get past the first/main page. One question was"referrer?" I put,"tractor time with Tim." It kept coming back saying error? I was wondering if you know, what answer their looking for here? Do you have a different screen/user name, that you use on that site? Thanks so much. Have a great day!!
Why didn’t he have a safety triangle on the back?
Mutige Frau !!! :-D
Yes, she is brave.
Can you do a review/walk around of jonny and all your attachments
+jeremy lee (JohnDeere4960) Thanks for watching. I have essentially done that. Of course, not all in one video. We have tried to demonstrate everything we do with Johnny. Have you watched all of our videos? If not, I recommend looking at them from our main channel page. I have created several playlists there attempting to segment them into different sections.
Do you see a specific attachment that you would like more detail on?
ive watched all your videos. I love them, keep the content up. would really like to see more on the front snow blade you got and the backhoe. im lookin into buying the same tractor with blade, loader, and a deck
+jeremy lee (JohnDeere4960) Thanks for watching them all, wow, hopefully not all in one day! So, you would like to see more close-ups of the attachments, how they attach, how they work (like the snow-blade angling back and forth, etc?
+Tractor Time with Tim ya I'm lookin into buying one thanks in advance
Estimate cost for that? I am a kid looking into an economical way to plow snow. THeres a backhoe on craigslist near me for a great deal
Well, this certainly isn't the cheapest way to get into the snow plowing business. The tractor and plow (without loader, mower, or other accessories) would probably be $11,000 or so.
Thanks for the response! That case backhoe is working 5.5k. Think its the way to go
Does that include wet/heavy snow as well?
+Tmac Tmac obviously every snow is different. So I can't say t will handle every snowfall. I can only say that it has worked beautifully in every instance for me. It works best if 'waxed' before the season starts...makes it nice and slick.
I've never had traction issues with the tractor.
Tractor Time with Tim. Great. Thank you so much Tim. I greatly appreciate it:)
I didn't see you plow the driveway to Johnnies shed.
There is no driveway to Johnny’s shed :-(
Just wondering what are you putting your backhoe on? Looks like it is on rollers.
furniture dollies.
About how much would the tractor, deck, and plow cost me? Maybe a new toy for next winter... too late for this year...
Never too late. Your Deere dealer will have one setup for you in a day or two :-)
Tractor, mid-mount mower, and loader less than $16,000 if you are a decent negotiator.
Blade and hitch accessories ~$1500.
Do not buy a 1025R without a loader. Would be a mistake. If you truly don't need a loader, then you should get a different machine. My opinion of course.
Use 'build your own' at deere.com to configure your options. Then, subtract 15-18%.
I hit a pile of snow turned to ice it broke the mount holding the hydraulic for a long blade not ice only snow
you should put a cab on it when snowing
+AFR Caleb check out our 'original tractor cab' video. We visited the factory where they are made....
Here is the link to the Original Tractor Cab video I mentioned: th-cam.com/video/decy9N2r6XE/w-d-xo.html
GoPro
+Mel Thompson got one now
The biggest problem I see with that blade is that you cant pile snow with it.
+big D fan yep. Would need the artillian adapter from www.artillian.com to do that.
Do you have a rubber wear edge on your snow plow?
Yes, from artillian.com
I'm really surprised that you don't have any kind of enclosure on your 1025r yet? You can get a heater for it too:) I see you can get a hard top, plastic like enclosure on Amazon for under $900. I'm not sure if the heater yet. I see you follow,"mert2." He has a video showing the enclosure with heater. When you have time... Check it out. Did the rubber ends of your plow come with your whole plow kit? I was just at my local JD dealer where I got my new 1025r this past March. I was told for the plow, the lift, the whole 9 would be $1500 for the 54" plow kit like yours. Does that include the rubber tips on each end of the plow???
Hey Tim. Please disregard this message. I looked below, and didn't realized that I already asked you about this. My bad. Lol.
Tmac, click on my channel (by clicking on my name). then choose the 'about' page, then select the 'for business inquiries', then type in the characters shown (to prove you are not a robot), then you'll see my email address.
Tim
+Tractor Time with Tim okay thanks Tim.
i like to see your vídeos good tractore does lots of jobs . i have 4wd 50hp same . see me in (baling grass in flores Açores
+jose luis fernandes Gracias. That is all the Spanish I know. Sorry!
ile dałeś za tego JOHN DEERA
how much dose those blades run? at the dealership.
+Allison Lawn and turf care Short answer $1300-$1500. For a more accurate answer, use this link: www.muttonpower.com/p-9524-john-deere-54-quick-hitch-front-blade.aspx There are several different components necessary, and this website allows you to select the specific parts needed for your specific tractor.
that`s not as high as i thought it would be.
Pe We blade for a tractor of this size should be able to handel a blade up to 72" with 4 wheel drive rear wheel weights
+michael obrien welcome to our channel!
do the neighbors mind all the noise
+j fendtman01 I wonder if that is why the entire neighborhood has moved away????
lol
Tim, do the neighbors pay you for plowing their driveways????
No. Neighbors are free...for all services.
Tractor Time with Tim: funny thing, I try that too. But not all of my neighbors want it done for free. Some are willing to pay me to do the work with my tractor, and do it at a quicker pace than they can with wheel barrow or wagon. But I will give "senior discounts" to locals in town, especially garden tilling jobs. Doing a garden in 4 passes just doesn't justify a $50+ bill. If they are at least willing to pay half price just for diesel is good for me.
I just tell the neighbors to get me some dessert!
Is there any risk of a tractor snow plow scratching a residential asphalt driveway?
We have a rubber cutting edge for that purpose. We also have a UHMW? (Hard poly) cutting edge for the same reason.
@@TractorTimewithTim - Does the rubber or poly work better? Would you use each in different situations or would I just jump to one or the other?

Try some WD-40
please leave your address don't tell your husband you have the money that way you can go for a ride and pocket the money I will send $5
BUY TIM A GO PRO!!!!!!!!!!!
+Bigdaddyluv68 got one now!
You guys are so cute...Did you buy your lovely wife some new sock batteries too?
+Bigdaddyluv68 I did not. The socks were underwhelming. Too much pain to get on and heated. She never has got them out again.
Have you watched any of our other videos?
You need chans for johny
+Donavan Hays not for flatland.
Bunch of weirdos!!
Thanks! Weird is good. Why does everyone have to conform all of the time???
actually your sapose to plow fast..
Why would they show someone standing on the plow while plowing. This is unsafe and they don't seem to care as long as they can get their video. Will not watch their videos again.
