I saw where you're going to be one of the speakers at the Homesteaders of America Conference in October. I wish we could attend. It would be awesome to meet you in person. Maybe I'll win the lottery between now and then.

Thank you, Josh, for being well informed on good pasture management and passing it on to us viewers.

I have a 5 ft pull behind, sure helps the pasture alot. Our pasture was nasty and a ton of weeds last summer when we bought and now its so pretty. Thanks for sharing

Thanks to you I've found the Titan 1500# clamp-on pallet forks I've been needing, At a great price too. ThankYou for your support of all us little guys trying to improve our land for ourselves & local wildlife. Much appreciated 👍😎🇺🇸

I love how in touch you are with your community. Great videos, keep it up!

Hey Josh , I love your channel , and your attitude is such a pick up , makes a person want to watch , Keep up the great work !

Good Vid Josh the landscape guys used one of them on my backyard and then quad seeded it. I got some grass out there now!!!

Titan makes great equipment. Our local Kioti dealer sells their stuff and we've been very impressed so far.

Such a cool implement. Thanks for sharing the information on it. I will be looking at one for my pastures. I did notice in the video that your top link was to short, which could put the lift arms in a bind and cause some damage. Just lengthen the top link so the side rails of the frame where the roller bearings are, are level, not tipped down at the front. Just a tip from someone that's been there, done that and destroyed a tractors hydraulic rock shaft.

Hey Josh! Happy and safe 4th to you and Mrs. Stoney Ridge from here! Enjoy your day with family and friends Doug@ the"ranch"

Hi! I’m from Ontario Canada. Like your videos very much. Nice weather here. My veggies are coming up nicely. Beverley 🥰

I KNOW WHAT TYE SECRET IS AHHHHHHHHH. Can't wait for you to review it!!!

For extra hard pan soil consider adding an extra frame on top on which to load more weight to push times deeper in soil.

The ad PTO quick link and their parody of you Josh was awesome. They nailed it with their impression of you

Joshua you might consider acquiring a quick hitch. It will make hook-ups as well as disconnecting much easier.

My friend posted on facebook a post about bees. It was down right funny when it called yellow jackets assh___s. That about covers it. Love your video. The grass will love this.

Bolt on forks look like a good way to bend a bucket to me you are also a lot farther out from your pivot point on your front end loader meaning the leverage prevents you from picking up nearly as much as a dedicated fork mast if you have a quick attach bucket its no problem at all swapping and takes virtually no time

I use my Titan pallet forks all the time especially since the forks are removable and a tow ball can be used to easily move trailers around.

A Pats quick hitch is a useful thing when changing implements often. Not knocking on other brands but don't have to worry about top link not matching up with the Pats. I have them on my JD 1023 and love them.

I would make something shaped kind of like an old swingset but heavier where you can hang implements to hook up easier.Especially something like a PTO post hole digger.

Very cool tool. Thanks for highlighting it. A good solution for our back pasture.

I have the same pallet forks. For repeated use, I use ratchet straps to keep them snug against the bucket and they won't slide off.

Love seeing this implement hard at work. So many under estimate it’s value n efficiency. Excellent stonyridgefarm well done man.

Bought a 4 tine Hay King pasture renovator. It also works very well but it’s twice the price and it really works my 2wd Massey 255 I have to pull it in 1st.

@stonyridgefarm , I’ll speak for your bearings , top link n 3pt. “ please pick us up when using ground engaging tools n well last you a long long time. “ we set up everything to be pulled straight. Each disc blade or aerator tooth along with its frame get twisted pretty good. That’s the beauty of 3pt is we can pick it up. Any pull type with lift should be raised as well when turning. A lot of leverage cranking a rear gang of discs. Bigger tractors won’t sweat this extra stress til you see a draft arm trashed. Also lift those 3 pt arms when using any pto n lock them up. Bad day mowing n making a turn after they slack out. Just my 2 cents. Not my place to tell another man how to farm his land but I enjoy helping,

Great video. I'd had one of those on my mind for my pastures here on the farm. I'm also trying to repair some fields that have been neglected by the past owner alot of work and alittle time will do the trick happy 4th to you and yours

I have to say Josh, the pastures are looking pretty dang good! Nice glass of Ice Tea and just sit and enjoy that view in the evening!!

Just found you and love your stuff! Also... you choice of timepiece is impeccable! Seiko Automatic Diver!

Just checking out some of the older videos . Great content as usual .

Hey Josh , I love your channel! Can you do a 4 year review on this product? You always have a super way of teaching, thank you!

Always use it after it's rained and dried out just a bit, also, always lift it off the ground when making any turn, not just sharp ones. I'm guessing you noticed how much harder the tractor is to steer when you don't lift the aerator. It's very hard on the lower lift arms of the tractor to turn without lifting the aerator, I broke one of the attachment points for the turnbuckle on one arm not lifting my aerator before turning. Just a heads up, keep up the great videos, I like them.

Can't believe the crisp colors of the drone camera! Your farm looks like paradise on my 4K laptop! I do need an aerator for my place so I appreciated this video a little extra! I saw the sneak peak and I'm feelin' Jeepy!! WOOOO!!

Great video Josh keep up the great work. That would be a good idea to do before I frost seed in the spring

I was Yelling at the screen, "it's going to roll, watch your shins" when you were hooking up. we have wedge blocks for all implements, and pallets to set stuff like the broadcast spreader on, got them from a local hardware from the dumpster, they are plastic, and aerators bounce on our soil, we use a lot of Revive to help with water retention and we have a compost pile the size of a semi truck. if you want more weight in it use beet juice. thanks for the fun

Try parking/ storing/ unhitching the broadcast spreader on a few sturdy pallets. Also works well for some brush hog and other 3pt implements. We park our brush hog on 2 large round logs- makes on/off easier. Dont fall for the gimmick of a quick hitch- they are great for certain heavy tillage and some particular items on dead-flat ground. Mostly just a gimmick by skinny little wimps with 20hp utility yard tractors who think they're saving time hook ing up stuff in their paved garage in the suburbs

11:15 beautiful view, good job sir.

That's why I went with a pull type spreader, much easier to hook up

I was looking at getting an aerator, this is very helpful.. thanks

Lots of tools Josh...so cool...so so cool....thanks for teaching us....

Other than the new RTV that 240 hits a soft spot. One of my all time favorites. It will haul tail in transport gear. Lol.

I have a similar broadcast seeder similar to your's. We built a dedicated stand using old pallets that make's it must easier to attach and detach.

Missing a little of radiator fluid to avoid rust inside of aerator-drum. Great videos Josh.

based on what I have been studying lately , I have similar soil, you need to investigate cover crops to improve your soil and water infiltration rates

2 things off the top of my head. Use some scrap materials and build some landing gear for that spreader. Look into deep soil aeration in patches that may not see any or very little improvement from just a roller type aerator. Deep soil aeration will also help with areas that hold water longer than they should. Hard pan that you can't see is a booger.

I have my inpliements on heavy pallets with castors. Converted a old corn crib into a "storage barn" by adding a concrete floor. Back up to the door, roll what you need over to it and hook it up. Wheeled pallets will allow you "wiggle" it right into place easly! Getting to old to fight with stuff anymore! 😉

I would recommend a layer of grease on the threads of the fill plug on the aerator. Mine rusted on which is a big headache. Frank

Have a Great Independence Day. GOD BLESS America

I needed some scrap iron out of our scrap pile one day. Had low cut shoes and flare leg jeans this was late 70's or early 80's I happened to step too close to a ground yellow jacket nest had 6 or 8 that flew up my pants leg... yes I know about yellow jackets!!!

Your garden looks like it is coming along great

Dt drain it do what I did with mind half water an antifreeze:)) it's been like that for 5 years now....

I have that same broadcaster and your not lying HAHA. it's a love hate relationship

Pat from Ireland bought aerator last year see great results from it

just picked up a scrap water heater, ill have to weld some spikes on it and build one of my own!

Josh,On your broad cast spreader, idea set on pallets to raise & level before on hooking, should be easier to hook up next time

You guys have a Beautiful farm !!

That looks like fun. Have tried agricultural gypsum. Lots of studies from ag schools.

6:20 - 6:30.... Hi larious!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤠🤠🤠

Great video, your property is so beautiful to see. I enjoy your videos

Great tool Tuesday Josh, aeration is a great way to keep your grass healthy!

Deer turds can be full of minerals, as they browse through the wooods and eat plants from the forest floor gorwing from the brok down leaves from trees which can pull minerals from deep in the earth, alfalfa also roots deep and pulls minerals from as deep down as 18 feet.

I would recommend putting some antifreeze in with the water so you won't have to worry about winter freeze expansion.

Set the broad cast spreader on 3 or 4 pallets, it will make hooking it up much easier

Josh, you could build up soil a little more by going behind aerator spreading thin layer of compost or possibly having chicken litter spread behind it. That could fall into aerator grooves to add organic matter to your poor topsoil. Good luck with it. Tomg

If you have a ventrac, an attachment called an aeravator works wonders for compaction

Hey Josh good video thank you for it

Hey Josh Tractor time with Tim used beet juice for tire weight, won't rust or freeze, would be good for the aerator

Use the scrap metal to make a stand to hold your broadcast spreader off the ground to make hooking up easier.

Make some prop stands for the spreader. Later this year im gonna work up a chunk at church for a better lawn and ill probably get dads old seeder down and that bolts to the drawbar and braces to the cultivator lift points on the 3pt. ill also probably get the 3pt sprayer down to spray roundup prior to working but ill have to make sure the pump is still good. Most likely needing a rebuild

Sort of off topic, but I also watched your video where that metal building was assembled and I am getting a similar one installed in the next month or two. Please tell me what is the height, at the eaves, of your building....I'm currently trying to decide between a 10 and 12 ft height for a new building on my land. Keep up the great work, I enjoy you videos and your upbeat mentality.

Hey Josh How do you go about pulling out old fence post 6" round? I appreciate your time mate, very much enjoy the content. Regards Adrian

I have several Titan attachments, they have good products.

Ive never used an aerator like that one. I have had very good luck with a tow behind plug aerator.

What type of attachment works best to remove stones from my pasture? Stones are usually 3"-4" river tumbled rock. Thanks!

Set that spreader on high blocks will make it easier

Josh, build a frame made from treated wood that allows you to sit the spreader on it so it sits straight and about 2 feet off the ground.

Cool Beans. I'll have to start setting some money aside for one.

I need one of those after all of the compaction I have caused in my fields because of the rain!!

Love the music playing just when you started aerating the field...What was playing?.

Great job enjoyed that!!!

Got a beautiful place going....... While I commend your efforts in aeration if your soils are that packed I strongly reccomend a more robust tool such as the Aer-Way (think I spelled it right) pasture renovator. You can get 3 point and trailing type plows. While it may be a little overkill for your lawn areas it will surely be just the ticket for pasture areas where you need good full penetration. I have a neighbor who runs a 12 foot model with tractor weights added and it does a great job. They run a lot of cows so their pasture lands get packed in pretty good. If you could find a dealer maybe you could do a deal for tryout on your channel. By the way don't pick up much with those bucket forks as they won't stand it. Also build a stand for the fert. spreader. Makes hookup a lot easier...........

As you discovered, a wide single-drum spiker is fine while you’re traveling in a straight line, but when you turn, the entire drum turns at the same speed. It should be segmented so the spikes can rotate independently.

Hi mr stoney ridge I noticed how you could speed up the process, by buying a three point to tow hitch attached you could then use it on you Kabota and get the same result. Loving the video very helpful 🙂🙂

Best thing to watch good job.

I am thinking a lot about buying one but I am just not sure those 3inches can do much. Grass roots go much deeper. Could a disc harrow do the same?

After you finish the deer turds you should go give mommy kisses.

Excellent tractor!!!

With a different mount, you think a Polaris 800 ATV would pull it nicely. Maybe come off the 3pt with a custom tow bar?

Josh, another good Tool Tuesday video. We have one of those aerators and it work like a charm. Enjoyed.

Would this aerator make any difference to mossy and hilly land? Or more for dry compacted soils? Wondered if water would infilitrate better rather than run downhill if it was punched through and if that would affect all the moss here. Moss is slippery and in spring tears of the dirt easy when walked on and moist, it's kind of annoying.

You need a "Titan quickattach". I really like mine.

Great video, Josh...youre are always informative. Aeration does wonders for a yard or pasture.

So for your spreader why don't you get some concrete blocks to set it on? If I had to take a guess the reason why it's awkward to hook up is because it's setting on the ground and you physically have to move it to get the arms connected. If you have it on blocks it's already lifted, so you don't have to lift it by hand to connect it.

Can you do a video on your Massey Ferguson bumper? I plan on buying one but I only see 2 options. The one that you have an a universal looking bumper

What's the name of the song or lyrics playing when you started aerating after you filled the drum with water ? That's one of my favorite tunes as Ryan Kurster of How Farms Work on You Tube channels uses that also.

Ive been wanting to get an aerator but havent seen any videos of results also i kive in south texas and dont really see much rain

hey Josh that metal frame your aerator came in would work well with little fab work to set your broadcast spreader on to get it up off the ground to make it easier for 1 person to hook up. just a thought didnt know if you thought about it

How many passes do you make when Aerating one pass... If is gumbo soil vs rocky soil My Parents have rocky soil on their 160 Acres here in Kansas When is the best time to aerate Spring Summer or Fall

How well does this work josh? I would really consider one for running over hay field.

Nice dogs.

Hey where did you get your garden bedder? I seen it in your video when you were unhooking your attachments.
