My First Major Tractor Problem | Cutting a trail by hand, and trying to finish a culvert.

- When you are trying to tame a piece of land by yourself, even the easy days can be hard and discouraging. In this video I experience my first major break on the Summit TX-25, I discuss a few of the new attachments that finally got delivered, and I tediously cut away some brush for a trail that leads to the location of the future cabin. Thanks for watching!
First. Thanks for showing us the repair process.
No problem 👍
Bought a Deere 3038e back in 2014. Dealer told me to retighten all the lugs after 5 hours, so I did. About 5 more hours on the tractor, I used the bucket to move a big pile of dirt for the first time. The rear wheel came off. Deere sent out a mechanic in a service truck to fix it, so I was thankful.
Oh man, that's a bad day but you recovered from it well.
Yes, thankfully it wasn’t too bad of an issue and all around good learning experience.
Great video about your pond today, I’m looking forward to making a small pond on my property one day!
@@about12acres Learn from us....check your soil!! Good luck!
After all lug nuts are torqued to spec, use a paint pen to make a mark on the lug nut and wheel. That way you can visually inspect if they are getting loose as the marks will not be lined up.
Great suggestion! I’m going to do that tomorrow
@@about12acres Thanks, its a good idea to do that with other crucial bolts such as loaders and backhoes as they articulate frequently under force.
@@srsatlaf4730 I went ahead and did it with all of them. Thank you again!
They make a product for this, called Torque seal. We use it in the aviation industry.
Thanks for this video! It’s so helpful 😊
You need a saw blade at the end of a trimmer. That will chew through briers and keep you out of range from the thorns.
I’m gonna be buying one soon enough
seems like you kept a good attitude about it! at least by the time you made the video! know how it goes to have something go wrong when all you had in mind was getting the project done. glad it got back up and running in a couple days.
Gotta make the best of every situation, and taking a lesson from each one!
Хорошая работа. 😎👍
Get a flail mower for those briars.
Not a bad idea. I will need to put the other equipment I have and learn them before I can justify buying more 🥲
Wow bummer on the wheel.
Looks like things are coming along..
On taking out the trees I would take a long log chain and attach it high as you can up in the tree. They will pull over sometimes and the stump comes with them.
Did you see the saw jimmy got ?
You are going to need one of those for sure 😃. Jim in Chile
Definitely going to use the chain for a lot of these trees! And I could certainly use Jimmy’s chainsaw haha!
Just wanted to give you a shout out, for just starting your channel and only having three videos. I think you’re off to a good start. In one of your videos, he mentioned that you were in the south, but nothing on your channel says where you actually are. It looks very similar to Western North Carolina where I live.
Thanks for checking out the channel early on! Trying to figure out my posting schedule has been difficult since I film multiple videos at the same time and the projects are all dependent on the weather. I’m hoping to have a more consistent stream of videos soon!
To answer your question about location I am near the NC border on the SC side of the foothills
Glad you're fixed up man. Love the tractor and good luck with the channel! One question about the TX25; did you just get this machine recently? Your loader joystick looks much more ergonomic than I have seen in other videos. Maybe they were earlier versions, but it used to look very high and almost like a BMX bike handle. Yours looks like it's much lower and has a nicer shape.
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! 🍻
Wouldn't the root rake grapple done an easier job removing the briers?
Reminds me still need to check torque on many bolts on my Mahindra.
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.
Now you got everyone on YT checking their lug nuts............
Mission accomplished 😂
That's not the tractors fault.
Operator error all day long!!!
Yup! This was 100% on me
That’s why you have a bush hog
Can’t get into this area safely yet, but soon I’ll be bush hogging a lot!
