Tim, thanks for doing the grease gun give away. A friend I submitted was a winner and he's very happy. The first couple rows you cut didn't impress me very much and I was thinking my Frontier rotary cutter with my 1025R does better. Then when you raised the roller it was a game changer! That really works well and does a super job. Love how we learn along with you. Drone footage was pretty good, Christi!
I have used a 68" flail mower behind my Kioti CK2610 for years. Will never go back to a rotary again. If you are running hammer flails, don't worry too much about hitting rocks. In the Ozarks we get a fresh crop of rocks every year. The ones I have hit didn't fair well.
Hello Tim and Kristy, I live in southwest Michigan and lived here for 28 years and for some reason every calico cat and a few male cats have gone missing over the years. Sorry to hear about Mary. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
Impressive job on the corn stalks. That will sure help with decomposition for next spring tillage. I’m liking what I see on the flail mower. The adjustable hydraulic restrictor looks like a good addition. Thanks for sharing, and blessings to you and Christy.
As a new and current flail mower owner I have noticed if the foliage is extremely tall like your corn stalks the mower tends to push it over and only trim the stalk as it rolls over it leaving a laid down stalk that’s skent as it is passed over. I now lengthen the top link as far as I can and let it float on the rear roller
CONGRATS to the winners!! And, THANKS to Lube Shuttle for their generosity in donating all of them. I'll bet that Baumalight mulcher would do a number on those corn stalks. Just wondering if you considered that?
I was excited to hear Highlands Church in Abingdon VA win. They are a little over an hour from me and I’ve heard a lot of them helping the community. Congrats to all winners!
Im sad that my name/person i nominated but I'm glad the people that one got one and I hope it helps keep their machinery running smoothly for years to come.
If you dry out those sweet corn kernels you can add them to your pop corn. They don't pop but puff up. They are delicious. Kind of like corn nuts. My great-grandfather used to do this.
Alvaton is just up the road from me, I am just couple of miles from there. Congrats to that guy. The restrictors, you could start small and then drill them out incrementally till you find the flow you need. Be a little pain in the butt installing then taking them off to drill and repeat till you find your sweet spot.
And just like that, you're ready for next year. lol. I usually leave mine standing until the deer have picked it clean, then I push it off into the compost area.
@Deplorable Centrist I usually grow more than I can eat if I have a notion to freeze or have people stop out to share. I need to grow less now that my kids are grown and on their own.
I like my LubeShuttle. Congratulations to the winners. Didn't know what to say on the health video, but you are a blessing with your videos and family. Take care.
Congratulations to the winners. Tim, I don't think anyone is going to be upset with your picks. We're just glad that you and your sponsor are will to give back and help where you can. As for the flail mower, it looks like it works great for you, but not much use for me. With my property, the finance department and I think a wood chipper would be a better return on investment. 4 more things: 1. How's the factory installed 3rd function working out on the 1025? 2. Any wisdom/advice on a wood chipper. 3. Have you talked with your sponsor about getting a MSL (on loan or otherwise) for the 1025 or 2038 to try out and demonstrate for us? The spec's I've see show an increase of a couple hundred pounds to full height (on 2038). I'd love to see you test that out. 4. I noticed the completed barn in the background - nice job!
You did great on your contest it made me get off my butt and get a greaze gun that I've been wanting to try and then I really found out just how good it is. Thank you Tim.
Tsunami, no need to be jealous. We specifically asked for folks to submit somone they believed would benefit from one. I see no need for your snarky comment.
@Tsunauticus III well, this promotion was specifically directed at nominating someone else. All selfish folks who nominated themselves in spite of the clear directions to nominate someone other than yourself where immediately thrown out. It is better to give than to receive.
@Tsunauticus III Fascinating that no matter how much kindness we show, someone always says we are not doing something right, and attempt to attack our character. Oh well.
Just wondering if you are going to plow the garden in the fall or wait to spring an hope it is dried out enough to plow . I think it would be a good experiment to plow one time in the fall an one time in the spring .
I wonder if no till would be better - Spike aerate to relieve compaction and more, plant something else before the winter (cover crop), then mow before again and do a spike aeration with the main crop planting in the spring.
Wow, what a job that does of mulching down that corn!! I've already started saving for one of them mowers, mainly for ditches and banks that we have been doing with a weed whacker for years. Unfortunately I would be that mower to death if I ran it that low in our rocky corn field, but it certainly did a superb job of mulching it down for you.
Great video!!! Loved the attention to adjustment on the mower to get it to do what you wanted. I would be concerned with Christy and the drone! She seemed to be eerily happy about flying it into you! Great interaction!
Seeing this looks like a better way to take down stalks. High school friend's family with many acres of farmland, still runs the train setup of tractor, chopper and wagon. Could the TS10 or the smaller cutter have done this as good?
Tim, this was a very interesting video, I was surprised at the difference lowering the mower made. I wouldn't have thought it would have made that much of a difference. Great video.
Ugh, sweet corn stalks are so annoying! I usually end up chopping them down so I can throw them into a compost bin. I tried my wood chipper once, but got frustrated after I plugged it up. I think I know what I was doing wrong, but I've since broken the wood chipper due to my own impatience and need to get a welder and teach myself how to weld so I can fix it. The fun never ends. :-)
I was about to say, mowing too high and a bit too fast - then you lowered the mower and slowed down :) And yes, sometimes you need to cut a 2nd pass at 90degrees. I sold my slasher/brush hog long ago - only run flail mowers now for everything.
Hi Tim & Christy.. First time watching this particular episode.. Those flow control valves you installed are pretty darn nice to have.. Great feature you've added to your DEERE.. Another great video.. That flail mower does a nice job on the stalks!!.. Have a nice weekend.. God Bless.. "Hi" to Katriel..
That fail did a number on the corn. So are you going to leave it that way this winter, or do some form of tillage? Not sure how matted that material is. My concern would be the ground not drying out next spring if its pretty thick. Around here no one chops stalks for that reason, it just stays wet. Curious what you are thinking.
Tim what flail type is on your mower? That makes a huge difference too. There are effectively three types: straight blade, V blade, and sheep foot. I have a V blade on mine, it does okay in grass but shines in stalky brush. The sheep foot is great for grass but apparently is not good for brushy areas. The straight is supposed to be a hybrid as it is a center bar in the V. Almost like a W and is more mulching on a brush setting. At least this is how it was explained to me by Bestsco
Thanks guys. Just my two cents worth I don't have a flail mower would like to get one but for that job I would have Bush Hog Pit and then hit it with the rototiller
Since this mower turns vertical, I have to wonder, can it safely be used to cut in that position...say you want to "trim a hedge line" or a "treeline" where branches stick out. Can a flail mower not only reach under those branches when level, but also be turned vertical to cut the branches back as well? Thank you for your outstanding channel.
@@TractorTimewithTim Found this video, and at 1:10 in the video they show what I was asking about. Would love to hear your feedback on its effectiveness in this position as it appears to just slap the stuff back out of the way as much as it cuts, but perhaps they were not using the best blades for this application. I would think the heavier hammer blades would be best here, but I don't really know. Your thoughts? ruclips.net/video/mQERDcP28Uo/видео.html
Left what corn that got old and didnt get used for the tree rats. It was fun watching the squirrels wrestle the ears down and back to the woods. Are you going to put down a cover crop for the winter?
Good job Tim, I'm happy for all the winners. Do you prefer a bush hog or a flail mower. The flail mower is looking good to me but I realize a bush hog has its place to. Thanks for sharing see you next video
Nice work Tim! I have a Peruzzo 5’ flail mower on a Kubota 4310 which like you I am learning the ins and outs of the machine this summer / fall. One thing that baffles me is mowing with the flail almost vertical too cut back vegetation / branches in a tree line. If you master it, please share with us.
wheel gun I have the Elk 1600 and I have been VERY happy with it so far. I had to add extra hydraulic valves to the Kubota, but it’s a great addition to our hobby farms. Deer trails, ditches, overgrown areas it has been handy. I still want a Rhino 10’ like Tim lol.
When you get a chance, it'd be nice to see more info on the flow control valves. Are they hard plumbed in-line into the hose connections down stream from the quick connects or do they plug into the quick connects and then the hoses plug into the control valves via their quick connects? The quick connect plug-in configuration would make them transferable among multiple implements.
Just saw the video. I’m in the market for a flail mower and you definitely answered some of my questions. Only thing i have left is do i need that amount of adjustment while sacrificing some width. Or get a wider cutter with the “fixed” offset adjustment?
Actually on your comment on hybrid corn, a hybrid isn’t a cross between two hybrids. If you create hybrid corn it usually is a cross between 2 inbred lines. One of those inbred parent lines might have been an older hybrid at one point, but a inbred is 100% homozygous. A hybrid is 100% heterozygous, half the genes from both parents, two different copies per gene. Now a days they use double haploid crossing, which means the corn has two identical copies per gene, creates inbreds much quicker. The reason you grow hybrids is because of heterosis or hybrid vigor, meaning the outcome of the 2 inbreds is superior to them by themselves. That’s the reason of such high yields.
I really appreciate your showing different equipment. On a Ventrac video a person comment that there was no good way to dig a hole for instance to plant a tree. I had a thought could a back hoe be attached to the Ventrac via the three point hitch and use the Ventrac hydraulics. You have all that equipment so it would be of interest to see if that was possible. I know this is off topic but the only way I know to contact you is here, by phone or by mail.
Wonderful video Christy. Great camera work as always always. The corn was outstanding this year for all we had. Too bad you didn't make one pass with the brush hog for a comparison, but I like the flail mower for myself and the extendable one if I get a bigger tractor.
How tall did that corn end up being? I also grow the roundup ready/bt corn and mine got to about 8 1/2 feet. I grew remedy and aspire. I might try SV9010SA next year.
have watched very many of your videos, and even used them to help people make decisions on attachments. Very great job of explaining as always. I may have missed it or maybe someone has already asked, but does this create a right hand side load to the 3 pt? I have seen some videos if it is angled down in a ditch, it appears the 3 pt looks like it is loaded super heavy to the right hand side. I would guess it would add a lot of load to that side, but my wonder is if it is to a point of damaging the 3 pt arms or trans case? thank you very much for this video!
Tim how about doing a video on hydraulic flow restricters, I have a ditch bank flail mower and the jerking around is about to knock the fillings out of my teeth!
Yes. I've seen it mentioned on other channels. Apparently RUclips is no longer sending e-mails for notifications. I have noticed not getting them on my computer. However, I still get notices on my phone.
If you have a hydraulic top link in a flail mower, always have the lowest setting and in case of too many rocks just lengthen the top link and problem solved
Once again great video,I always look forward to the new videos it makes me wanna go find a job for my 1025.Have you decided if you are gonna use the tiller or plow? Me personally I’d live to see the plow again(that is if you record it and I hope you do)even as a kid I always loved to watch my grandpa use the plow in his allis charmer D270 I think that’s what it was
I'm sorry you men0tioned it and I missed it, but does your flail mower have the fine cut, or course cut blades? I love my 2 flail mowers and use them a lot. I have a John Deere 25A with course cut blades that I use for brush cutting and heavy weeds and a 6' Mott with fine cut blades that is used for mowing along fence rows and keeping the grass looking good along the gravel driveway and clear ways around the hay field. Each is very good for what I need them for and they have relegated the 7' bush hog (actual brand) trailer type mower to just sporadic work. I really enjoy your videos and thought just yesterday when I was mowing 6 acres of grass with my 50-something Allis Chalmers B and Woods belly mower how much fun it would be to have a "mow off" with you and one of your modern tractors. Of course you win, hands down, but it would be fun to show how far tractors and mowers have advanced in 70 years. In every aspect of safety, ease of operation, and ergonomics the new tractors and equipment really shine. But in simplicity and maintenance I think the old iron still shines. Keep up the good work.
@@TractorTimewithTim In addition to the Allis B, I also use the 1953 John Deere 40 for some mowing but use it for pulling a hay tedder and rake too. The good news is I do have a trailer but the bad news is I live in East Tennessee.
Just did my first corn plot, is there any down side to me slowly till my corn stocks under with a tiller at at a low speed and going till nothing was left on top? New tractor so was willing to spend the extra time enjoying the cab, ac and radio
So sorry to hear about Mary. Tim, does the flail mower come with the PTO shaft, and do you know anything about the optional kit they offer for tractors with only 1 set of rear remotes and how that works? Great video as always, really love the way Christy got the drone footage. Really like the new shop video as well.
One observation I made watching this video what is that flail mower seems a little on the light side I don’t know what it ways but it seems really light for what you’re doing I may end up eating my words after you giving me your answer
No, a combine cannot harvest sweet corn. There IS a professional harvester available. However, not necessary or practical for a home garden. Just grab a few ears by hand.
Just mow seeing this video , I know it's been out a couple of years !! But I got to ask what that was that ran out of the corn at the 10 min mark ?? Hog maybe or coyote !?
You have to lower the front down not the back where the roller is and you should have a golf course look and Grease Grease that every 4 hours and the shaft as well require lots of grease.
Tim, thanks for doing the grease gun give away. A friend I submitted was a winner and he's very happy.

Haven’t published yet..sorry. Next episode coming Sunday. We needed to get this list of winners names published!
CONGRATS to the winners!! And, THANKS to Lube Shuttle for their generosity in donating all of them.
I'll bet that Baumalight mulcher would do a number on those corn stalks. Just wondering if you considered that?
I use a old push mower I got for free out the trash that I did a slight modification to with my welder and scrap metal to mow my corn down
I was excited to hear Highlands Church in Abingdon VA win. They are a little over an hour from me and I’ve heard a lot of them helping the community. Congrats to all winners!
Hey only Tim's tractors can be in these videos! Another nice looking JD was going down the road behind Tim in the background. 😁
Just use the rototiller. It chews them up and mixes them with the dirt for better breakdown.
Im sad that my name/person i nominated but I'm glad the people that one got one and I hope it helps keep their machinery running smoothly for years to come.

Raccoon scramming stage right at 10:00. He/she was enjoying those sweet kernels. Could that corn be frozen when first picked? Sad to till it back in.
Our cat, Martha
@@TractorTimewithTim okay
Did look more like a cat when it kicked it into overdrive, and you would know your own 🐈.

Great video! Very helpful. I’m at the bottom of the learning curve with my flail mower and found this video very useful. Thanks!
Sorry too hear about Mary. Them coyotes got one of mine years ago. Enjoying the video's, your friend from NW Indiana.
I love that jingle at the beginning and at the end of your video I hope you never get rid of that him it’s really wonderful
You have Tim the tool man and now we have Tim the mower man !! Good job
Very cool idea on the gift of the lube shuttle. Great way to help some folks, and great advertisting!
Congrats to the winners... bought my lube shuttle few weeks ago and works great.
Oh my. This will be a huge help. I’ve got lots of bearings to grease and I’ll sure enjoy this tool.

Far more impressive once you adjusted the height. And on a second pass, I wouldn't expect any better.
Sorry to hear about your kitty..Very sad. Love that mower..Out of my league..But really works well! Thanks for sharing!

No, the brush mower would never have mulched as well.
Tim....Do you have the hammer heads on the mower. I have the knives on my 6 ft. flail mower and it chops up the standing corn fine from my food plots.
Hammers

have watched very many of your videos, and even used them to help people make decisions on attachments. Very great job of explaining as always. I may have missed it or maybe someone has already asked, but does this create a right hand side load to the 3 pt? I have seen some videos if it is angled down in a ditch, it appears the 3 pt looks like it is loaded super heavy to the right hand side. I would guess it would add a lot of load to that side, but my wonder is if it is to a point of damaging the 3 pt arms or trans case?
thank you very much for this video!
Yes, creates a load on the right side. Should not damage 3 pt arms.
Tim how about doing a video on hydraulic flow restricters, I have a ditch bank flail mower and the jerking around is about to knock the fillings out of my teeth!
Yea, ok.
haven't received any video notices for awhile?? usually get a notice every week or so?? anyone else been saying this?
Yes. I've seen it mentioned on other channels. Apparently RUclips is no longer sending e-mails for notifications. I have noticed not getting them on my computer. However, I still get notices on my phone.
Frustrating. We are seeing the lower initial view counts as a result!
I’m impressed with flail mowers too.. I’d like one,but they are a bit pricey... If I had more need for one though,I’d get one.
would think the slower ground speed did you some good i would think also
Time to Get the plow out and turn it under. Another plow video 😉👍
Yep. And will be different plow this time!
If you have a hydraulic top link in a flail mower, always have the lowest setting and in case of too many rocks just lengthen the top link and problem solved
Once again great video,I always look forward to the new videos it makes me wanna go find a job for my 1025.Have you decided if you are gonna use the tiller or plow? Me personally I’d live to see the plow again(that is if you record it and I hope you do)even as a kid I always loved to watch my grandpa use the plow in his allis charmer D270 I think that’s what it was
Hey Tim wondering what style fire extinguisher mount you recommend for tractors
Couldn’t tell what you scared off at the 10:00 mark, but you got it’s attention! It noticed the fence was gone. 😄
our cat.
I'm sorry you men0tioned it and I missed it, but does your flail mower have the fine cut, or course cut blades? I love my 2 flail mowers and use them a lot. I have a John Deere 25A with course cut blades that I use for brush cutting and heavy weeds and a 6' Mott with fine cut blades that is used for mowing along fence rows and keeping the grass looking good along the gravel driveway and clear ways around the hay field. Each is very good for what I need them for and they have relegated the 7' bush hog (actual brand) trailer type mower to just sporadic work.
I really enjoy your videos and thought just yesterday when I was mowing 6 acres of grass with my 50-something Allis Chalmers B and Woods belly mower how much fun it would be to have a "mow off" with you and one of your modern tractors. Of course you win, hands down, but it would be fun to show how far tractors and mowers have advanced in 70 years. In every aspect of safety, ease of operation, and ergonomics the new tractors and equipment really shine. But in simplicity and maintenance I think the old iron still shines.
Keep up the good work.
Allis B is my dad’s first tractor! Very sentimental to me. Would love to have a ‘mow off’. Do you have a trailer?
@@TractorTimewithTim In addition to the Allis B, I also use the 1953 John Deere 40 for some mowing but use it for pulling a hay tedder and rake too.
The good news is I do have a trailer but the bad news is I live in East Tennessee.
Just did my first corn plot, is there any down side to me slowly till my corn stocks under with a tiller at at a low speed and going till nothing was left on top? New tractor so was willing to spend the extra time enjoying the cab, ac and radio
No issues with that approach.
Great drone work Christie !
Did you see at 10 minutes in the video during the drone shot of you mowing a raccoon runs out off the corn
Our cat, Martha.
So sorry to hear about Mary. Tim, does the flail mower come with the PTO shaft, and do you know anything about the optional kit they offer for tractors with only 1 set of rear remotes and how that works? Great video as always, really love the way Christy got the drone footage. Really like the new shop video as well.
Yes, comes with shaft. Do not know about optional kit. Maybe they will comment.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you.
Just found out that it is a hydraulic diverter kit. Electric actuated
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you again, that is helpful.
I had 8 rows of sweet corn, about 40ft long, our geese ate most of it, we only got a few ears.
One observation I made watching this video what is that flail mower seems a little on the light side I don’t know what it ways but it seems really light for what you’re doing I may end up eating my words after you giving me your answer
I dunno. Why would it need to be heavier? Seems fine to me!
Was that a racoon that left the field during the drone camera shot?
Our cat, Martha.
I'm confused. Did you plant this corn just for fun, or did you walk through and pull ears off the stalks and this is just what's left?
Have you not seen sweet corn harvested?
One grabs the ears and leaves the stalks standing.
@@TractorTimewithTim I have not! That sounds like work! I figured there was a machine that would pull the ears off and shread the stalks.
@@TractorTimewithTim guessing that machine is a combine, and they cost lots of money!
No, a combine cannot harvest sweet corn.
There IS a professional harvester available. However, not necessary or practical for a home garden.
Just grab a few ears by hand.
Great job brother. Keep up the good work. Band of Brothers and Sisters.
Next year if you have to much sweet corn, put some by the road with a free sign. I'm sure the corn won't go to waste like this years did.
Even just lifting the 3 point hitch would have made a difference. That rear roller was laying the corn flat.
Could you have raised the 3 point higher to mow the corn higher?
Great flail mower demo thanks tim
Just mow seeing this video , I know it's been out a couple of years !! But I got to ask what that was that ran out of the corn at the 10 min mark ?? Hog maybe or coyote !?
My cat.
Hey Tim I forgot to wish you Happy National Cheeseburger Day. 9-18-2020. Love you guys. God Bless !!
Did I miss something? The new shed has a cover?
Hopefully Sunday!
Where do I find those flow controls? Mines bucking like a horse! Great video!

@@TractorTimewithTim thank you!
You have to lower the front down not the back where the roller is and you should have a golf course look and Grease Grease that every 4 hours and the shaft as well require lots of grease.
