- A friend worked for over 7 hours trying to remove a stump. He finally gave up and called Tractor Time with Tim. We took the John Deere 1025R with backhoe and hydraulic thumb to help pull this stubborn stump. With the thumb, we were even able to put the stump in the trash can for our friend.

This video took me back about 4 or 5 years ago when it was just you, Christy and Johnny . And even back then most of your work and videos centered around helping friends and neighbors. You two are good people. Not enough like you guys around. Keep up the good work.
I feel like this video brought us back to your ROOTS with a good old fashioned Johnny video!!!
Here's a helpful tip for people who want a tree gone or removed. Dont cut the tree off close to the ground if you know you want the stump removed. Leave about 2 or 3 feet above the ground. It will really help give the equipment your using leverage.
Tim is possibly one of the most genuinely humble guys you could watch on CZcams.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the password. I love any tips you can give me
@Khari Ezekiel Instablaster ;)
@Nicholas Arthur i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Nicholas Arthur it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Khari Ezekiel happy to help xD
That homeowner was a little ball of fire wasn't she.
You’re a good friend and neighbor 👍👍👍
Good job Tim digging out the stump with Johnny!
I always enjoy watching Johnny dig out stumps 👍.
I just love these Tractor Time with Tim videos. I try to watch them all but this one is new to me. This is quite a coincidence because, I just dug out a couple of walnut stumps today with our JD 4400 with a 47 backhoe. It took 4 hours and going down 4 or 5 feet to wrestle them out. Those big old tap roots just went on forever. Just got to realize that these compacts aren't realy meant for some of the jobs we use them on. You 2 are a joy to watch. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Your kind words are appreciated!
Good stuff Christy and Tim !! I appreciate you all !!! Be safe and God bless !!!! Eddy
Nice to see Johnny back in action.
I had a heck of a stump challenge for my 1025R last week. I couldn’t even pick it up with the front bucket after i dug it out!
I watch this channel to learn about small tractors, and I thank you for the great content, I have learned so much from TTWT. I do however know a lot about trees and their growth habits. I assure you that a wire basket and burlap do absolutely nothing to restrict, constrict or redirect the growth of the tree or its roots. The roots seek moisture and nutrients and are not impeded by a narrow wire or burlap. The biggest downside of burlap, if left exposed and uncovered, is that it can wick moisture away from the root ball. Always remove the burlap from the too of the root ball when planting.
Disagree on that!!! Wire basket killed all my balled trees planted!!!
I sure could use a setup like that right now! I can’t tell you how many stumpsI need dug up! You are definitely a great friend! God Bless you and your family!
Love that bin that you put the stump into! Here in Australia we get a 25 gal bin for general waste, collected weekly, a 50 gal for recyclables, (metals, glass, plastic and paper) collected fortnightly and if in a major metropolitan area another 50 gal for green waste (prunings and lawn clippings) collected fortnightly. In regional areas like us, no green waste collection but at least we can take it to the recycling centre free and bring back a load of mulch in exchange, but have a size limit of 6inches by 3feet long for stuff going through as green waste, definitely no stumps even small ones, unless they have been ground down.
Love this kind of videos with helping hand to a friend.
Excellent job Tim. No one had to put a shovel in their hands, I didn't even see a shovel.
A piece of tire tread cut to fit a board and attached to the feet of the outriggers would be a good alternative to your boards for protecting the concrete.
Deere has rubber pads that go on the bottom of the outrigger feet.
I made mine out of 2x6 PT and old hockey pucks I had in the garage. Bolted it to outrigger bottoms. Works well.
@@buckhorncortez I have semi tires, by the pile
Lol
Buckhorn Cortez nice to know I’ve been looking for a fix to their roughness on concrete surfaces.
Absolutely!
Tim Christi you hit the nail on the head we all wotk at things an most the jobs to big we need help another job well done
God Bless All
PaK
Perseverance counts. Great job!
Hi Tim and Christy nice video always handy to have friends with Tractors
Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
Thanks Tim. Good example of compact tractor efficiency in a tight spot 👍. One day I will convince the finance commitee to get one😁
I dug one out by hand, I think it took me a holiday weekend. It was definitely bigger than this one. It was hot. I was also a lot younger and stubborn, than this gentleman.
Great video!
Nice video tim and kristie 👍👍have a great weekend
Best video I’ve seen on CZcams today! 😃 Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
You ever try one of those A frame stump pullers? They can generate tremendous upward force and easily rip a stump that size out of the ground in just a few minutes. And make a lot less mess. Havent tried myself yet going to this spring because i have to take down about 25 trees. They look fantastically easy on youtube though.
Another job well done. I am waiting to Casey at work though.
We don’t have Casey right now. Not sure when he will be back.
@@TractorTimewithTim ahh-so that's why we haven't seen him lately then.
look like fun
They probably wanted to contain the growth due to the fact that it’s planted along an existing walkway and foundation. That’s my guess
.
Yep, to avoid heaving of the walkway and porch steps.
If you get tooth under stump and push boom down as you crowd bucket it acts like a prybar gives a small machine a big bite in the right hands. I put over 10k hours on my last .8 ton machine all in tight spots you learn a few tricks. Keep up the work drive er like she's stolen lad
Being in the landscape industry the reason is that part of the cage and burlap is not removed is that the cage help hold the root ball. Well the burlap the small tender new roots get stuck to it and when you remove it can rip out the new roots. Landscape companies are too lazy to take the extra time to remove the cage and burlap.
I've always removed the burlap and found soaking the rootball with watern makes it less challenging to remove the burlap. If the rootball falls apart (which most likely will happen). You can lightly prune the roots and position them to grow away from the tree. Fill and pack lightly to medium so that way air can move in the dirt but also stays in shape as you add more dirt around the root ball.
From a arborist always remove the metal basket and cut what ever burlap you can reach from a tree before planting. Remove the basket before rolling into hole, the cut what ever burlap away from the root ball.
Great to see the rootball will be recycled... LOL
Was grinding a pine stump in a front yard a couple of years ago and it had one of those wire baskets and burlap on it when it was planted. We had to run a magnet through the front yard and grinding debris to pick up all the metal pieces.
That stump was in there real deep and didn't want to come out.
Tim Casey could have gotten that out much quicker!
Looks like it was planted to deep
I shared your bobcat video of them making tractors again with our local yanmar dealer..........lol.......they are due to get a shipment of bobcats this spring! Wish i had the funds to be thier first customer......
Whew.....thought we were going to have to bring the Massey down and help you!😁
Hmm. I guess that would be ‘calling in a lifeline!’
👑
That stump being a little trouble maker it don't want come out but Johnny have no trouble at all it save the homeowner time now next time her call you. Time for a cheeseburger or a pizza Tim and Kirsty
I've found the hardest stumps to get out are the ones with the roots directly underneath the stump. Its hard to get access to break the roots. It looks like that 260B operates quite smoothly.
Yep, and yes, the 260b is smoother than the 260
Hope you called 811
Another way to get the can to the curb use Johnny pull it.
👍
Hi Tim,
To start off I appreciate all your videos. Have you ever though of doing a video on the 260B backhoe? I seen your videos with you working with it but I can find a video anywhere (CZcams) on the actual numbers the 1025r backhoe can put out (lift force, bucket curl force, boom sway,... you get the idea). Maybe even comparison to larger hoes and practical uses. I appreciate all your time and effort you and your family put into these videos. Love your work 👍.
Look at Deere.com search 260b. The specs are all there
Just asking, wondering if you dug out more dirt in front of the stump before you pushed from the back it would might have moved the root more????
Tim, which do you prefer, hydraulic thumb or mechanical since you have experience using both?
Grinding it out you most likely never get all of it and have a sink hole years later. Also, as a landscaper with my own company and quite a few years experience, I have to disagree with the customer here in taking the basket off the tree. Doing that will lead to possibly breaking the root ball which can cause much more problems for the trees survival than leaving the wire basket on. Break the ball and you’ll be replacing the tree. Finally, I really need to quit waiting around and get a thumb for my 1025R!
Greenpartstore.com. Free shipping with code TTWT! ...which means a lot on this sized item!
we had a neighbor that wanted some stumps removed.. we went with our 40,000 pound 690d excavator.. my uncle dug down about as far as it would reach all around the stumps before the would let go... something like 20 or more feet... needless to say we made a mess in her little front yard taking out 3 of those.. lol
Tim, do you think the hydraulic thumb is worth saving for? I want at least the mechanical but my wallet only has dust and cobwebs in it 😢
Tim, I have a 260B and purchased the BXpanded ripper and trencher bucket. Do you think those would have worked better in this situation? I'm digging a few stumps soon and appreciate your videos and advise!
That didn't wanna let go. What size bucket is on the backhoe. Looks bigger than previous.
12”. I now have all 3 sizes...8”, 12”, and 16”
Because the steel wire can get caught up in the teeth of the grinder and can come up and hit someone
Tim, I would suggest placing a sheet of plywood down to protect the sidewalk. In an attempt to spread out the weight of the tractor. It looks like you sunk part of the sidewalk with the tractor, or was it already like that?
I did not damage the sidewalk.
When you were trying to shake the dirt off........lift it up and drop it.......the dirt should thrash off......or hit it a few times with the bottom of your bucket to break the dirt loose then drop it.
Lucky the tree died when it did......if it werent for dieing from afixiation the roots that close to sidwalk and founadtion could of caused alot of more expensive damage.....
Hi
Call TTWT, and if we can't respond in person we'll forward you to our friendly neighborly network of tractor owners to come give you a hand!
Sign me up! 😁
Tim, I've seen a backhoe attachment somewhere that I think is called a root ripper. It sure would have been nice in that job. Do they make one for your 260?
Look up BXpanded ripper. I have one but haven't used it yet so not sure how well it works.
Trash guys gonna love that!
They won’t care.
Sorry tim got to go with lowes lol
Burlap gets cut away- somewhat and cages stay on root balls when we plant..... been doing it that way for almost 20 years. Cages are nice for positioning the tree, as well as removing the tree if it were to die or get vandalized in the first few years its in the ground.
Stump grinder hate
@@TractorTimewithTim yeah thats true, usually by the time they get big enough to require a stump cutter the cages are too rusty or already long disintegrated. Might just be our Wisconsin soil though.... lol
I'm curious what most people would charge for this job? I charge 85 for 1st hour, 60 for 2nd hour, and 48 for each additional. 1 hour minimum, everything thereafter in 15 min increments.
Would have loved to see a three point jump shot from Johnny into the bin 🤣
Tim, do you have any videos with tips/tricks to grading with the funny shaped bottom of the front shovel on the 1025R?
Try ‘leveling the playing field’.
We don’t necessarily discuss the how tos, but you can see it in action.
I'm glad Steve quit when he did. He'd have been there for days and have no back left. Of course if you still lived just a few houses away he probably would have called you a lot sooner.
Tree stumps go in the recycle??
Dry dirt. Everything is mud here
Excellent, wanted to ask what trailer you use for moving Johnny around
Welcome Thomas. Check out our Truck and trailer Tuesday series!
trees should be taken out of the burlap and wire at planting time.
Tim, I’m ordering a backhoe for my kubota L3200 in January. I’m retired and bush hog farms in the summer. What is the best way to start getting small jobs? I do this as a hobby because I love tractor work. It is my pastime. God bless you and I pray for your family when I think about it. I think you have a Godly family and that means a lot to this 68 year old man
The beat way is to keep doing work for friends and family. Word of mouth will soon get more work than you can handle :-)
Tim where is the 2038R? please correct me if I'm wrong. Don't you have the backhoe for 2038R? GOOD JOB on removing the stump.
I say 2 u with Jesus yes u can bro in Jesus
Welcome to our channel. Thanks for subscribing!
I noticed the Good Works Tractor sticker. Like your channel, he's another good one to watch!
did you see that John Deere now offers a Mauser cab for the 2025R? It's listed on this page under Accessories and Attachments
www.deere.com/en/tractors/compact-tractors/2-series-compact-tractors/2025r/
So, I'm about a thousand miles away....🤔🤔🤔😥
Mileage & lodging...and a few cheeseburgers :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim Just call Tractor Time with Tim... Would the TTWT "bat signal" be the silhouette of a cheeseburger?
absolutely love your video series comparing the JD 1025r and the BX 2680. I'm looking at backhoe options, is the grapple attachment an option with the JD backhoe?
I found my answer, for anyone else, the 260B comes optional with a backhoe thumb. Regardless, I appreciate the videos!
Thanks Chad!
Hey Tim, Just wondering if the 260B is compatible with the 2038r and if it is, would it have a little more power?
2038r has the 270b, and yes, it is more powerful.
We put the thumb on the 260b (would have fit the 270b as well), so we used it for this project.
Its......PLAYMOBIL......oh my Gott
I have a antique Brantley 6 foot backhoe on my 1979 Power King tractor that I bought both new. This summer I removed several tree stumps large and small. I fabricated a ripper tooth similar to the one DR Power Products sells and it is great for probing for roots and doesn't make a big hole. Small brush and shrubs I can usually grab them and pull them out with one move. Large stumps the biggest problem is that it doesn't remove any dirt and can be difficult especially with many tap roots. It has both pros and cons.

Hey Tim you really need to call 811 before you start digging in someone’s yard. Save us lineman some headache please. 🤦🏻♂️
Do I have to mention this in every single digging episode????
We mention it at least 80 percent of the digging episodes.
Then for some reason, viewers act like we are idiots regarding 811 for the other 20 percent.
Oh well.
You said in your video he gave you a call and you came right over. 811 takes three days to get positive response. If your just making it look good for show I get it. Thanks Tim
Kenneth Brown we were a week or so after he called.
Kenneth, he's digging near the front door. If someone was dumb enough to bury one of your lines near the front door it deserves to be dug up. Also why on earth do you care? It's not like they don't pay you when people dig them up.
XBaneyX they pay me very well to fix what idiots tear up then I have other idiots like yourself yelling about why there lights are out. 😂
another tip is don't cut the tree too low, leave 1 metre ( 3 feet ) of trunk for a lever.
Kinda wonder why jd did away with the swivel seat for the jd 1025r....
It was over complicated. It was not reliable...mechanism broke easily.
It was likely more expensive than the second seat.
@@TractorTimewithTim well, that's to bad, I kinda enjoyed it. It had that full backhoe vibe.
Jcb
So......call tractor time with tim.........sigh.......i have a feeling if i did.......youd hate me .......lol. i live near fort kent maine...........basicly northern most border to canada......but if you do come up here shoot me a message lol
