  • I try to remove all the rocks in my yard with an old Sweepster Broom attached to my John Deere 318 garden tractor. I thought this would be an easier way to get the stones out of my grass but the day was faced with many challenges that left me questioning my decision to get the old Sweepster out of the barn. I also use my Stihl Power Broom attachment to help with getting stones out of the grass left behind by the county snow plow.

    I’m still trying to figure out how you went from camera to drone in the opening act.

    Jeepers that transition from gimbal to drone and back was tight!

    My one Garden Tractor had that same issue. It's the one I use to mow lawn so everytime I got into tall thick grass it would kill the engine. I broke down an rebuilt it over the winter and now it's like a new tractor. I'm happy you won't need to deal with that crap anymore now that you have Burno!!!!

    Yep, I always watch all the way to the end! Great video Neil. I used to rake all the stone from my frontage each spring but now I just wait until a nice rain, get out the lawn roller and press them into the ground. I've found that to be the simplest, easiest way to take care of the stone from the County chip & seal on my 300 yards of frontage. Happy Easter to you and your family!

    Adjustable caster wheels on the sweepster would help. The Stihl power broom is very effective, but is a workout !

    I really loved the transition in the top of your barn. That was awesome! Keep up the great work.

    I always watch to the end because my favorite part is the editing and camera work. I finish a project and think, "Dang - I forgot to record it!" I was trying to channel my inner Neil Koch over the weekend and do a better job on the filming. Keep up the good work, we appreciate it!

    Guage wheels on the broom and a V-twin OHV re-power for Bill! That would be an awesome video!

    I am glad you demonstrated the big sweepster. Would be a good series to see Bill get full maintenance and repair/rebuild (paint?) as needed. It is possible the air cleaner, carb, fuel delivery, throttle is half your problem. For small jobs the hand broom may be best, but to do your yard, the neighbors and the church you need more power. If some fixed casters can be welded to the sweeper then you have another vid to share.

    I have a winter project idea for you. Adapt the sweepster to fit on the quick-tatch of your 755 loader. I bet you would use it MUCH more.

    Neil... I never miss a minute. You have some of the best shot and produced videos on this platform!

    I just watched another video about installing a genuine Deere broom with a quick hitch and as far as I can tell, he worked just as hard installing that one. I guess with most of these attachments, you're simply trading one form of work for another. I love working with these tractors. Except for installing attachments. I guess that's why so many of us have multiple machines.

  • @klschofield71

    Just recently found your channel, thanks to Bruno, and I think you could revisit this experiment, but it would be cool if you made some drums, like on your sweeper thing with the flappy-beater bars, for your sweeper attachment. Those bristles are great for hard surfaces, but like you said, it's easy to tear up the lawn with them. Keep up the great work with the videos, being a great Dad, helping your community, and just being an all-around good guy. God bless you & yours.

    Nice footage at the end. I’ve done that a few times with my drone as well. Great content as always Neil!
