Yes, but isn’t there more to it than that? Videos with a camera on a tripod pointing at a tractor are not very interesting to me.

Tim I have 1023e I love the tractor and what it can do,and watching Johnny lets me know just what I can and cannot do.Please be safe

Yes, the time flew by when I watched it the first time too!

Yea, the grapple is nice, but the family is priceless! Andrea, Tom's daughter got married last weekend. We were cleaning up for her wedding. We had 90 folks in one of those sheds for a dinner the evening before the wedding.

Thanks Dave.

They love their Toyota fork truck too.

Ah come on. That is what brothers are for, right???

Thanks. Yes, when everyone does what they can do, it is a joy, even if the project is hard work!

Yes, incredible family. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That is a good way of saying it.

My dad is the most amazing man I've ever met.

Amen,.James.

#MeToo (perhaps that is out of context???)

Thanks Perry! You are correct. Dad is determined to get out and go!

Tractor Time with Tim thanks for the reply.

I think we are all treasuring the moments now.

I hate to admit it, but ... ME TOO!

Thanks for the comment, Wayne. That is our intent. We tease and argue some, etc, but we have a great time.

Yes. We have a good time. Once in awhile we argue about something, but nothing major. As for dad, he still enjoys watching us work together. ...and often he has a suggestion which will make the project easier, or the result better. He is an incredible guy. Thanks for your comment, Doug!

We were doing all this cleanup for mom. She had wanted it cleaned up for awhile. So, she was supervising!

That is wonderful !!! God bless your Mom and Dad !!!!!! Eddy

Yea, where was the watermelon!?!?!

David Vincent "And Johnny is still number one with me lol" I have a REAL soft spot for that little fella ..... Tears ......

itd be a miracle to get my family to do anything together lol

That is too bad. It is easy to get mad at each other. Much harder to forgive and just get along.

Thanks for commenting, Niels!

Thanks Mark!

Thanks for watching, Russ!

Yes, great memories being generated there.

scared me a little when you picked up the big tree thout johnny was going to be on its side

Well, that is not the type of situation where Johnny would be most susectible to turning over. More likely is driving on a slope with a full bucket raised to high. I didn't feel any danger at all in this situation. I wish I could explain it better. Perhaps I should make an attempt sometime. I do have video of a couple of instances where I thought that I sincerely MIGHT turn Johnny over. ...MUCH different scenario than this one.

Thanks Alan. Yes, we enjoy eating together too! Mom can’t cook for all of us like she used to, but Christy is picking up the slack. I agree. Perfect day!

The 706 is nice for this type of work. Handles nice, runs nice.

And was able to navigate around tighter places. Now, if 3320 had a loader and grapple, Johnny might have been sad :-)

We had a great time!

We had a couple of spare tractors. You shoulda come along!

..but you might have ended up with the weed-eater or chain saw!

ROFL!!!!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Hound. We had a great time. We didn’t get finished with all our tasks, so we need to go back again.

The trials .... The tribulations ..... ROFL! >8^)

Yep. I have driven a 656 Hydro many hours.

He deserves it. He has eaten LOTS of dust over the years planting corn on an open station tractor!

Thanks for watching, Corbin!

Thanks Levi!

Thanks for checking in, Ryan!

Ha! Where is the emoji for ‘knee slap’?

Interesting.

Yea, I guess so. Hopefully folks could see Johnny ‘pulling his weight’!

He ‘pulled his weight’ or ‘fought above his weight class’ :-)

Yes. It doesn’t have much brute strength, but as you know from experience, with some thought and practice you can make these little guys do real work!

I have a 790, and 3032E tractors and they are very useful around my place and I get plenty of work out of them, but try not to over work them. Since I have a lower back problem which I had since being in the Air Force it is hard to do some things alone and that is really where the tractors comes in handy.

We thought so too! Thanks!

That whole video of Katriel is available here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edWfg9eL0bCxZn0.html This was one of our earliest videos, so it might not be up to today's standards. However, Katriel has some funny moments. I love your comment about the parade, Jon. Dad drove the Allis 'B' in the local parade last summer.

It WAS a party of sorts. We were all exhausted at the end of the day, but we had a great time.

Yes, I think that is the point. We have been around them all of our lives. Everyone has all of our fingers. :-) Also, you only see "two dimensions" on video. I have noticed recently ...as I have been looking for this...that situations look dramatically different in video than in real life. Especially in the sense of depth perception. You really can't tell for sure how close something is from a video. The MAY be exaggerated even more by the GoPro which has a warped 'fisheye' type wide angle lens. Anyway, yes, sometimes we are in there close, but after all these years, we've learned to understand when the operator is in full control, and when there is a good possibility of a 'slip up' or something. In some ways, we LIKE folks seeing us in real-world action. Perhaps folks can better understand and determine REAL, PRACTICAL, safety rules instead of the textbook "never get closer than 100' to anything rules.

Congrats! Christy would like something like that....without the bagger.

Tractor Time with Tim I'm telling you you need a John Deere Z930M Zero Turn!!😆

Zero Turn is what I wanted to get but my wife is the one that runs it and she don't like zero turns. She says it has to have a steering wheel or she wont run it and we mow 5 acres. I run a 3016 Ingersol

I was pulling hard. No danger though. It wouldn't have tipped over with this type of approach.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Me Like Comment!

Interesting. I didn’t expect such anticipation. We likely won’t be buying for quite some time. Several positive developments are keeping us busy!

Amazing. We are thrilled to see him able to be up and around.

And a couple of Oliver’s.

Nearly 200 miles. In some ways, about the perfect distance :-)

At this time, JD corporate has stopped communicating with us. We had a positive communicative relationship for awhile.

...and BTW. It is interesting that you say that in a video which shows several other brands in action along with Johnny.

That is very surprising! I think you guys have shown through this channel the capabilities of the 1025r more effectively than anyone else! Do you think that there is a legality issue regarding consent from your customers and fans? Basically JD can’t endorse your videos because of you guys showing different peoples properties on your trips and projects? Either way you do a great job showing how versatile the tractor is!

I have no idea. We keep reaching out. Hopefully they will respond again soon.

The point is that you are showing the value of the 1025r sub-compact and the comfort of your Dad's 3 series that it allows him, in his fragile state of health, to mow in comfort all afternoon. Besides, if you can't have respect for those old workhorse Farmalls, you are in the wrong business. Y'all be blessed.

87FoRunner the Swiss army knife of tractors

Yea. Your point is RIGHT ON. One needs to be concentrating, calculating, thinking during every moment on one of these tractors. You have to "feel" for what is going on, anticipating how the tractor will react to the next movement. Being surprised is the most dangerous thing. I was momentarily surprised after pushing those roots forward, then going backwards again. I thought the roots were free....then they jerked the tractor tight. I don't like being surprised. There was really no danger there, but still, it is best if the operator properly anticipates every reaction of the tractor. Appreciate your comments, Roy!

Welcome to our channel, Mark. I suppose we did not mention because we think folks already know. This is at my parent's house in southeastern Illinois. We live in Carmel Indiana. Welcome to our channel.

Yes, after dad's stroke. He seems to be recovering pretty well. No stamina, but he CAN be up and around. Yea, rose-bush was funny. We went to all that effort, and were trying to be so gentle, then "pop"....the whole thing came up. It was kinda funny to hear dad's reaction. That was Andrea, Tom's daughter. She was in several of our videos in 2015 when she lived with us for 9 months. She was in school here in town during that time. She was also in the "It Eats the Grain" harvest video last fall.

I'M sure he is still weak my wife an R.N. who worked in neuro for several years says it can take a while to get you strength back. Ok 2015 was before I found your channel maybe this fall and winter when work slows down I can go back and watch the videos I haven't seen Yea I got tickled at your dad when said we can stick the rose bush back in the ground. I really appreciate you and Christie and family Tim I feel like I know you. Have a great weekend buddy.

Due to your detailed and pleasant comments, we feel like we know you as well. Thanks for continuing to watch and comment. Are you located near Nashville?

yes I'M in Nashville I'M close to the airport and opryland hotel and The Hermitage home of President Andrew Jackson we are 11 to 12 miles from downtown I have lived about 52 years.

We were out that way a few years ago. Drove into the driveway of "The Hermitage", but it was closed. Katriel went there on a missions trip of sorts when she was in Junior High: www.godinternational.org/nashville-slam/ Anyway, we should get together sometime.

Hey, congrats!

Regarding the Ventrac...which part do you mean? How would it have handled the mowing? BEAUTIFUL. How would it have handled the grapple work? Not at all.

Yea, I was pretty rough on him, wasn't I??

Tim look up JCB 5CX or yourjcb youtube channel

This was after the stroke. He is recovering nicely. Weak, but has regained all function in his left side.

Who knows?? At this point we haven’t made any decisions.

Exactly! I was pretty rough on him.

I would suggest he go with a bit larger tractor. Maybe 3R series.

Yea, me too!

Haven't measured exactly. I can say that it "just wider" than the 4' tiller, and that it fits inside the 60" mower he has on it. So, it isn't much wider than Johnny. I'm guessing 50-52". Tipsy, but I like the narrow stance for lots of tasks.
