Congrats on the land purchase! That’s a great parcel amount, talk about opportunity to grow. I’ve been very happy with this tractor and most of the attachments so far, though I wouldn’t buy the Summit bush hog again if given the chance. There are some designs flaws that make it very annoying to use. Definitely check out the tractor itself if you get a chance, it pulls its weight against some way bigger more expensive machinery.

@@about12acres thank you! It is definitely very exciting to be able to own that much of land and the opportunities are basically endless, I will be creating a CZcams channel towards it once I am living on it hopefully in the near future. I have a commercial grade lawnmower that I am going to be using around the house lot and I was just going to maybe look into a tow behind wide spread mower for the east fields, I haven’t decided yet. I will definitely check out the machine and maybe see if the company can let me test out there larger 80hp+ model being that I have the space and i definitely have the need for it. My parcel is all trees at the moment, so I would definitely need a larger machine to do most of the land clearing and it has to be able to pull/push a large blade in the rear. My road that I am having built is going to be 20ft wide, wide enough for two cars to go past each other on the main entrance to my property and then I will make a road that’s about wide enough for one car to access the other fields. Luckily I was able to purchase land all on one side of the state road so I have total access to all of it. Very cool and very exciting!

I have 50 acres and have a New Holland TN70A 70hp and a John Deere 5103 50hp. You will need at least the size tractor I have....

I definitely understand that. I’m happy to report that the customer service and getting parts shipped over the last few months has been remarkably easy. I will be posting a 6 month ownership review later this month

Thank you so much! It means a lot and I’m glad you’re enjoying the journey along with me

It’s really fun stuff, just gotta be careful 😃

I was seeing them a lot more in the winter time this year than I have all summer. There’s a big buck and three does that live on the property pretty much year round hopefully the coyotes leave them be. Thanks for checking out the video!

So many coyotes, I have a fall back career as a fur trapper if things don’t work out for me 😂

Thank you very much!

Much appreciated!

Thanks Jim! I hope all is well in prep for winter!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! 😁

Thank you very much! I’m very glad you were able to get so much out of the video. Part two, with finishing touches and other details is coming soon.

Thank you!

While filming this, I didn’t have any attachments connected to the three point The wheel weight itself really does a lot.

Thankful to not have to worry about that in this backyard, but I know not everyone is able to do it.

I definitely understand that! Most places have shitty people unfortunately

I purchased the tractor and 6 implements for $26,000 and had it shipped to my house through Atwood’s. I’ve been using the grapple for so much more than I thought I would and by far my favorite part of the machine. The tractor is heavy enough to handle a lot of big logs around the property; I have a few other videos that showcase the grapple in action a lot more. Happy to share my insights!

Yup! This was 100% on me

Thank you very much, im glad you enjoyed it!

I wish I had 4 friends living near by 🥲

I haven’t been able to get the seat to really move either.

So far it’s been a good machine with exception of a few small problems! I couldn’t imagine trying to hook a belly mower to it though, I’d never want to take it off again haha. Flail mower attachment is probably in my future

Thank you! Tractor is holding up well, the attachments are the ones giving me trouble

Were you able to get that Solis in the US? I really like that third function on the loader, I can live without the other stuff I guess

Yes. Solis USA. H24

I’m gonna be buying one soon enough

You are correct in there being too little dirt on top, it has washed out a bit since we installed it in 2019. The tube is rated for 80,000lbs and it handles handle a lot so I have been too worried about the replacement of the top dirt yet but I will be fixing it soon! Thanks for checking out the video!

get on it, the difference between 2' of fill over a culvert with the arching action and less then 2' is astounding. also ditch that checkdam before the culvert ,all that will do is trap debris and make a headache for you further down the line . if you ever end up re exposing the pipe sidewalls wrap the backfill with geotextile like a giant burrito , that keeps them nice and in place. @@about12acres

@@tyler7433 thank you for the advice! I’m still learning a lot obviously and it helps me out tremendously. The check damn is temporary for exactly that purpose, I am currently working on the other side of the culvert and the natural check damns on the other side constantly fill up with debris so I’m prefiltering at an easier to access spot.

I will, thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you very much!

You too? Must Be going around.

The most rewarding kind of job

Thank you! I would love to incorporate gabbions at some point down the line, mainly in a few retention wall applications near the home site. The hip is getting better by the day! manual labor and going to the gym is helping a lot. Super happy for them, and your whole family. Hope to see you guys soon.

I'll take you up on that when you come visit!

Thank you very much!

Glad you think so!

Definitely would in most use cases. I want to keep this particular part of the property less disturbed by machine because I’m setting up a bird sanctuary area. The rest of the place is getting the proper treatment haha! Always check your bolts 🚜

@@about12acres Understand wanting to save it for the birds. Good choice. I went out after and checked my lug nuts and half the loader bolts and all were good. I saw your set up at Runnings a few months ago and now I want the grapple LOL

@@normhowes2975 the grapple has seriously been awesome in so many different ways. I’ve used it way more than I thought I would.

Thanks for checking out the channel! I took delivery of this tractor in late November 2023. I too noticed the previous run of machines had a different handle, so far no oddities with this one.

@@about12acres thank you for the info! 🍻
