We live in the foothills of the Northwest Georgia mountains on our 8 acre small scale homestead. We grow specialty crops consisting of in-season fruits and veggies. We sell our market garden produce and fresh eggs locally at the Canton Farmer’s Market in Canton, Georgia. We soon will be selling forestry products including firewood and lumber. - Jak na to + styl
Nice Video!
Perfect way to start my weekend ☺️
If I had to give up farming or my full time paying job, I would give up my full time paying job and farm more. It isn't just the soil. The balance of all the bees birds other insects and wildlife along with mother nature and our helping hands. It is the perfect way to start the day, atleast one of the many ways.

Awesome.
I believe I like the Clockwise Rotation of your Tiller better than the CCW Rotation Ric. I know you pretty much end up with same results with either rotation, but yours don't leave a ditch when you start tilling. Makes a nice job. I also like them Branson tractors. Their pretty "beefy" built, which is what you need for a tractor and loader.
Good morning Dean! Hope you are doing well friend! Me and Mel were wondering how you have been doing. We have been busy friend itching to be able to share a vid. We have used this tiller many many times and it works well and even after 3 years has no leaks! Def some advantages to the rotation I think many people must consider. When rotation is counter clockwise you actually lose hp both on movement of the tractor and pto hp from opposing directional forces. Ya know at work I have a Kubota m6 141, this is a monster tractor that makes 140 hp. It is 16 months old and has been back to the dealer 4 times. It does have 2200 hours which isn't alot for 16 months. But in that 16 months it has cost 5 thousand dollars in non warranty repairs. It breaks my heart and even though it isn't mine I am responsible for it, it just breaks my heart the costs are so high on this newer generation of computer controlled equipment! The biggest reason we purchased the Branson was because it is simple and very robust. I can work on every single component if I need to, simple.
Dean it is always great to hear your thoughts and thank you for always supporting what we do!
Be well friend and welcome back to Spring!

@@CornucopiaFarmstead definitely agree with you bud. In 2018 I bought my very first brand new Deere 3025e. I've owned used equipment mostly for 30 years. The 3 E series is their economy model. 25 HP meant no DPF. My first ever Hydrostatic transmission. I'm not a fan of it either. I've had hydraulic problems ever since I've owned it. Tractor at full rpms won't lift a bucket of gravel or dirt. Manual says it'll pick 1300 lbs. I can't lift a 55 gallon drum of diesel fuel which it should. My tractor is very wimpy infact, after 4 years there's less than 100 hours on it. I have 12 months left on the warranty after which I will probably adjust the pump pressure myself which any dealership advises against doing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I value your opinions Ric. Hope you and Mel have a great weekend buddy.
@@deanbarr5740 Thank you so much Dean as do we yours too. We looked at the 3032 and 3038e tractors and our biggest factors for not purchasing them were weight of the tractor and lifting capacity too, not to mention the price was higher than all others with the exception of Yanmar. You know what I'm talking about when it comes to all of that not even mentioning gear drive versus hydrostatic. Your basic fluid change will run you 200-300 dollars for all fluids. I don't really go by the hours unless it is an over run which it would be changed. If anything the oil in the engine gets changed every 50 to 100 hours depending on how hard the engine is ran and hydraulic fluids are changed if I see a breakdown in the oil or it has reached the hour mark. I don't know if you follow Tractor Time With Tim but he has a 1025 that he has out a turbo and boosted the lift capacity also. It would be worth it to check those vids out, I know if I were in your shoes I would be doing that just to lift better. It is frustrating when the tool breaks or can't do as it is intended and we all can't have the best of everything so we just gotta make do sometimes bud. I know on ours many things will change when the warranty runs out but overall this unit has performed well and the cost is low relatively speaking. All the best bud and just give us a shout if you need anything!
Y'all have a great wknd, Ric
Nice video, nice farm, nice tractor. I'm getting a 3620, wondering if the money for the H worth it over the R (shuttle shift). How do you like the R? Do you both drive it?
Thanks very much! Answering your questions, yes we all drive it. Fortunately tractors aren't as critical with clutch use as automobiles are. The learning curve for people going from autos to tractors is pretty quick in my opinion. We have several kids ranging from 13 to almost 30, all of which can operate the tractor simply in the general functions. I typically won't let them operate the tractor in hazardous situations such as slopes or covering rougher terrain and carrying heavy precarious loads. I considering the hydrostatic v/s the gear drive 2 factors were considered. Costs and service. I am a service/mantinence manager by trade on a tree nursery. We have 12 tractors and various other equipment on our 300 acre facility. We own one single hydrostatic zero turn mower and all the rest are either shuttle shift or plain gear drive. The cost of maintaining a hydrostatic is greater if problems happen versus straight gear drive. Mechanically thinking when your hydro oil is used more often then it breaks down easier v/s being in a simply gear bath in the instance of gear drive. That is the reasoning behind hydrostatic or gear drive. In my personal experience hydrostatic have way more problems and cost a great deal more. The second factor is overall cost for the machine. Gear drive is less and typically lasts far longer. Those were the only 2 factors. You can consider ease of operation in the 2, clearly hydrostatic is far easier to operate and more or less learn to operate but some functions can be cumbersome and are note universal from machine to machine or manufacturer, consider that. If money were no expense then hydrostatic all the way as I could afford the upkeep but that isn't the case and I want to save money all the way around and so does the nursery I work for . It's a tough decision but worth while considering. As for the Branson it had many great things I liked better than JD, Kioti, Kubota and all others. Primarily the overall weight was superior to all others, costs was second, functions 3rd and ergonomics was 4th. In those areas It was just superior to me. Parts are available and dealers typically aren't to far away, I do all of my work regardless so that really wasn't a factor for me. Overall we have been very please with how it performs only with we had the 4 range transfer case like the 3620 and it would be awesome! Hope this helps and good luck!

@@CornucopiaFarmstead Yes that was on very good ANWSER; not to have a "hydro-holw-slack-o-matic".
