Hey Tim, thanks so much for tagging us! We love seeing our manure spreader in action and we're glad that it did a good job for you with the compost and topsoil. 💪
No Tim please bore us with more video. I love your content
I have looked at smaller manure spreaders for exactly this purpose, but was unsure how well it would work. This video just cost me some more money!😂
I love ABI . I've had a 185 classic manure spreader from them for 8 years now and it's never let us down. They are built very well.
I've got a TR3e and it is great. Good quality stuff.
Woo Hoo Using a manure spreader without the smell. That is a great use of the spreader. Now if you only had some manure, that would be great on top of the chips and soil before the seed went down.
Loving the tractor. I haven't gotten to use it for much yet, but ran into a problem yesterday that, without the tractor wouldn't have gotten solved. I found a heavy piece of slate mixed into the results of a garage cleanup. I'm pretty sure it was from a billiards table. A friend who's in ROTC and I couldn't lift it, so I put the forks on, did a bit of maneuvering, and onto the forks and into the dumpster it went. The tractor projects are going to happen soon.
1. my neighbors had a junk pile of leaves, sticks, and sapling trees behind their garage which spilled a bit into my yard, and I ignored. The new neighbors cleaned their side up. I have ~8-10 saplings to knock down, that ground then needs to be flail mowed, and tilled, then grass seed planted. I also need to clean up an adjacent area used for bees.
2. the top of the back yard was messed up when concrete was removed. I have a pile of mixed soil and gravel that needs to be separated. Once separated the dirt needs to go to the top of the yard, and the gravel behind the garage.
3. the top of the back yard needs to be leveled
4. the gravel "driveway" behind my garage needs to be land planed and leveled, and more gravel added
5. I need to run power to the front parking pad which was poured to charge my Volvo XC90 Recharge hybrid
6. I need to apply ~2 cubic yards of sand to my front yard to level it
7. there is a group of sugar maples in my back yard which are now mature enough to blot out the grass. I need to put down mulch there, and it's difficult to access, so a front end loader will make that take an hour instead of days
What a nifty tool for such an application, as well as various other materials. Great to see how the forks and the spreader worked with that material. Let’s see what happens next. Blessings.
The manure spreader does a great job spreading out the composted wood chips and soil.
For the last few years I been using a spreader to cover a hiking trail with decomposed wood chips it works amazingly well
Hello Tim.. found your channel at a very good time. Just replaced our old MF210-4, with a new 1025r w/ backhoe. We live on just under 3 acers . The 1025 is agile, very maneuverable . First job was to remove a long row of overgrown lilacs with massive root systems. With technique and patience the hoe got the job done. Very nice, little tractor. I see why you are fond of yours. Thanks for this channel and for being "Gods man".
bob
Welcome! We have 1100+ episodes now. The first 500 or so are entirely 1025r focused. Check em out!
I love that spreader.
Wonderful job. That spreader is perfect for the job. 👍
Great video and great conclusion from 1 Peter.
Thanks for the bible verse Tim, it got me to researching. The video was good too!
hello Tim, after spreading it with the small disc... nicely incorporated and the soil remains nice and flat before sowing greatings, Eric
Great idea using the manure spreader that really did well can't wait to see all seeded and grass growing keep the video's rolling 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Me too! Can’t wait to show video of it all ‘green’ :-)
That was fun!!!
We thought so too!
I think that was the perfect tool for the job.
Great video!
Just got a chance to watch this video, I would have wanted to used the tiller on the back of your tractor to mix it in. I love the tiller. Thanks for sharing with us.
Check out the following episode :-)
Wow wow wow can't do no better!
minifarming with tractor time with tim, I love it!Great video!:)
I bought some mushroom compost last year for the garden. I just scattered it with the front loader and then tilled it in a couple of times. it was good enough.
First. Nice use of wood chips for compost and mulch. You can turn the chips to make more compost too. From the color of the soil it's clear there is new chips and more composted material. Red = chips Dark Brown = soil.
I make compost all the time wood chips leaves and such might have to get a set of those forks looks likes a good way to move it and help with Turing the pile
Great video Tim. Nice to see the loader on old salty.
This is the 3046r loader.
Yea, I do the same thing. My cab 3046R shares its loader with my OOS 3039R.
I would buy another loader, but still holding out some hope Deere will come out with an MSL version at some point.
@@jdfleetguy28 yea. Of all the Deere loader designs, the 3R loaders are my least favorite. I don’t care for the mounting design.
@@TractorTimewithTim Yea I agree, of all the Deere machines I have had past and present. I think my 5R loaders are by far the easiest to take on and off. I can get the loaders on and off a 5R easy under 5 min. Supper easy.
Manrrrr. Love how you guys say it
My uncle called it ‘Banure’
I have had a small spreader for some 35 years and have spread horse manure from 10 to 6 horses every year this years pile is ready now but I’m still doing a little work on my loader so it will be a week or two before I do the spreading
jack black needs to start saying "I don't think so Tim"
Iv looked at Conestoga manure spreaders and you can get what they call a fines pan so it won't drop to the ground off the chain but is forced around the beaters.... helps for clumpy manure.
Looks like great results Tim. Boy the gardener in me is hoping you got a second wagon load of that compost, and if you run it through a sifter to sieve out wood chips, and incorporate that into your garden / corn patch!
x,
You should do a video of fixing the dump trailer mine is doing the same thing just not as bad
Ok. We’ll put it on the list.
Great video. I’ve often thought of using a manure spreader to act as a top dresser since top dressers can’t be rented in our area.
Looks like that spreader is good enough to spread even butter.
The city where I live turns all the yard waste trees and leaves and grass clippings collected into compost or fine mulch it gets mulched and screened twice and they give it away as much as you can haul
That would be good to till in to garden
I was thinking running the ventrac seeder with the vibratory tines (without seed) might incorporate the topsoil without bringing up the subsoil like roto tilling would.
Hi Tim. I hope you are well. Ive been thinking of you and your family some as i work on my tractor. Just wanted share my experience with composted wood chips. We have terrible clay soil here in WV and it does not support plant growth well at all, when its dry its so hard no roots can penetrate and when we get rain, it doesnt drain and it rota the roots. We also have a lot of invasive Japanese Stilt Grass and there are no real good methods to control it other than getting a dense stand if grass going which is hard with the soil here. There is one very expenive herbicide that will selectvely kill it with several applications but it would cost thousands to treat our acerage. I started using my tractor to spread hundreds if yards of chips (8 or so inches thick) over the last 2 years and have started replanting grass as well now. The transformation has been incredible. The grass is now thick and we finally have a knit turf that is tough and durable. The soil is still maturing but the quality is dramatically improved in texture, density, organic matter, water penetration, and water holding capacity. I now do not need to water in the heat and the grass shows no signs of stress. All i do is the normal 4 step program and the grass just grows. I can stick a large screwdriver all the way down in the ground in the dry summer heat. The soil stays aerated now. Sure it takes time (although the chips break down much faster being spread out on the ground than in a pile), there is nothing inhave found that gives better and longer lasting soil than this. We have absolutely beautiful, dark and fertile soil now and the cost was minimal. Especially for non iragated yards, i cannot think of anything that gives you a better yard in the long haul. Its a coupeke year investment but man the results are beautiful.
Wow. So you spread them when still chips, then they broke down over a couple of years? You put them 8” thick?
@@TractorTimewithTim I tried a variety of methods and thicknesses now and observed the results. In our front yard, i put down 8-12 inches of chips then spread a 50/50 mix of sand and horse manure and then tilled it all together and planted watersaver RTF. Im not sure that the benefits I got from this were much better than the chips alone yet. It came in ok but it was patchy. However it has thickened up now and is thriving even in the heat and dry spell we have had the past couple weeks. I did 18 inches on the back side 2 years ago and it may be ready to plant this fall. Im doing 6ish on the rest. Its really changed how water flows on the property and stopped erosion for the most part even after the chips broke down. Water just seeps into the ground now and doesnt flow much as surface runoff unless we get a long period of rain followed by a hard rain. In areas where ive done this for years now, i can get 4ish inches of cover to break down in a season. It seems that the biology establishes and then it just eats them up quick. The leaves go too my May now. If yould like to know more, I'd recommend watching "Back to Eden" on youtube by Paul Gautschi. Its a bit of a commitment and takes really about 2 years to get established from my experience. On a flat property like yours it would be super easy because you can have the chip vans drop chips in piles and then just dose them out with a tractor. It only takes 10-15 min to spread out a 20 yard pile with a 1025r and maybe another 20 to grade it out.
@@airealguypretty cool. Sounds like a great long term way to create a lawn.
I would like to be able to build up my existing lawn without having to reseed. Maybe I could add a bit at a time with our manure spreader.
@@TractorTimewithTim i think that might work. You can spread the composted chips over the yard and as long as you dont cover the canopy, i think it will be fine. You dont have to worry about it robbing nitrogen or anything like that unless you till the chips into the root zone or pile it really thick. You could spread a couple times in the year and use a dethatcher as a rake to help it get the canopy above the chips. I think it will help and help limit evaporation as well. Do an experiment on part of the yard maybe. Long term, it cant hurt really. Worst case scenario is that it delays thickening up the grass. Best case is it helps soil health long term.
Yep, need a full time mechanic when you have all kinds of equipment!!
I wish someone made a small side slinger manure spreader the old knight ones. Those things could spread anything. Even water.
Use your tiller to incorporate it.
Wood chips as they decompose actually remove more nitrogen from the soil then they add. As they decompose, they become more slow release nitrogen. Compost is more of a soil amendment than it is a fertilizer. Compost is about a 1-1-1 fertilizer at best. You will see in your grass what is happening with nitrogen. It may take several more years for it all to break down. Do a soil test and adjust the pH so the fertilizer becomes available.
Yep. We’ll have to add nitrogen.
need some side boards on that spreader
You got a neighbor Doug too just like Hometown Acres😂
You're going to be weed eating that bank if you don't cut that slope back some... but don't you have that boom mounted mower?
Thank you for showing me another tractor attachment I need that I can't afford LOL❤
When Neigbour Doug was mentioned, I expected Adam to walk into the scene.
Thank you for showing this. I have been wondering if I could spread Dino Dirt (composted bio solids from our municipal wastewater treatment plant). I have considered trying to use my rotary fertilizer spreader (large 3pt unit), but this would obviously work much better. I think a PTO model would be ideal so you could apply heavier at slower speeds.
This one has 3 speeds. We were running in lowest speed. Kinda wanted hopper to hold enough for a full round.
that spreader would be perfect for a 5 or 6 maybe more horse or even cow pig hobby farm set up what about setting the tiller up to mix it in real good then power rake it down to seed
👍👍
It may be a little late in the project but have you thought about installing a siphon pipe for the fire department to use in case of a fire? We have one on the family farm in Illinois where water isn’t readily available but from the pond.
Talked with the insurance company a few years ago…not worth the pain.
Tim I’m looking for the best way to spread DG to make a 4” deep 6 ‘ wide walking path around a 10 acre property.
Would this work with out the spinners/ beaters?
Or do you have a better attachment?
It might work. Or one might be able to slow the spinners via different gearing. It is driven by a roller chain, so, could change sprokets as necessary.
Thanks for replying guys.
Definitely worth a try for the large walk way I need to build.
When is the pond going to be full?
How is it being filled and replenished?

I think you spoke of this before but what is the cart you ride Christy?
We intend to do a full review soon.
That’s a nice trailer. Do you have more videos of it? I like the way the side open. Also, who is the manufacturer?
Bwisemfg.com. Bwise manufacturing
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks
Why do you use narrow tires on the tractor you were operating? Is it to keep from running over the garden rows?
The only Ag tires available for the 3R are narrow. I may pursue wider tires sometime.
Hey Tim, pond looks good. I'm wondering how well it's retaining water? I remember you were having a problem with ground water (which would be drainage as well) but it seems like it's currently higher than the ground water level when you were digging it? As always, thanks for sharing.
Yes. We haven't totally filled it yet. Waiting on a couple of remaining projects (overflow, and some seeding on the bank). But, it appears to be holding water so far. We are only about 2.5 ft (guessing) from full. I'm hoping that the extended time period at this depth will allow the bentonite to 'seal' better.
@@TractorTimewithTim Excellent, I'm glad the bentonite did the job. Have a good evening.
@@fsj197811 won’t know for sure until it is full…but hopeful!
🇨🇦😊
40.18 bushels
I like seeing how much you old salty is getting lately
Free hours :-)
How many wood chips can a manure spreader chuck if a manure spreader could chuck wood... Not quite the same ring...
Just curious Tim how many acres do you own not counting the field
We have 10 acres here at the house.
@@TractorTimewithTim perfect I always wanted to know. Im looking at buying 20 acres here in georgia and having a mini farm too. Not like my parents farm in Texas of 3000 acres but 10 to 20 would be perfect for me
I want to thank you for teaching so much about 1, 2 and 3 series tractors. When I purchase my 1st small place I'll now have a good understanding to purchase the right size tractor for the given property size. And also, I know that skid steers and excavators have their place but the tractor with bucket and 3 point seems rather universal. The excavator might have more uses if it's on wheels like those in europe but here I'm not so sure. But I really love the 3 series seems to be a great all rounder
@@andysmith5220thanks for the kind words. Yes, 3R is excellent compromise between power and nimbleness.
Not called spinners. They are called beaters. Just sayin. 🤭
Neat manure spreader.
I’m surprised that the compost didn’t fall through the forks on the manure bucket.
You should have added a few loads of cow manure to the mix! You would need less fertilizer.
I know where to get some horse manure….
So, who is Dave?
Explained in this episode:
BACK to the POND! John Deere 3046R & Ole Salty Work on Final Grading!
th-cam.com/video/KS1DySpnGr0/w-d-xo.html
I see tire on backward on spreader. WHY??
Because it is ground driven. So, ground is driving the tire…where on tractor, the tire is driving the ground. So, technically, they are on properly. Make sense?
Thats rite it not a driven tire for traction
This is the first video in sometime where yall didn’t break something… I’d call that a successful video.
Yep. Good run today.
Could you remind some of us who David is? And how you know him?

I have a feeling this mulch/compost will leach into your pond and cause the water to be darkened or black 🤷🏻♂️
I doubt it. Should be good bentonite barrier, and no external water allowed in.
Not using liquid ammonia? Damn hippies! LMAO. Natural fertilizer wow.... progress.
Actually, these chips, since not fully decomposed will ROB nitrogen at this point. So, yes, nitrogen will be needed. Maybe they will be decomposed enough next year to help.
@@TractorTimewithTim I'm calling it progress regardless. I'll have you signed up for the Joel Salatin tour in no time! :). Great episode!
