It's fascinating to see you progress from construction equipment novice to quite a pro ... you've come a long way
Thank you. I go back and watch some of my older videos every now and again to remind myself what a rookie I used to be
Looks really good….
You're lucky to have such a nice neighbor doing camera work for you. Neighbor Doug from One Eyed Customs!
You got that right!
I laughed out loud realizing you took the time to pause reassure us of the balls and nuts comparison of the two machines and cut back to the video. As an amateur RUclipsr myself, I can appreciate that editing right there. Thumbs up lol.
Merry Christmas to You and your family and Doug’s too!
The power/weight/traction difference is really apparent when you're driving into the pile of stone. Doesn't skip a beat, looks like you're going into a pile of mulch
because of your ad for Ariat, the ladies in my family all got Ariat products and they are very happy with them, thanks and Merry Christmas
nice video, always enjoy watching how other people handle similar tasks. I have a 1/2 mile gravel road with a pretty big hill i have to maintain. I ended up getting a landscape rake in addition to my landplane, the 2 together put down a great surface. Keep up the good work!!!
Yaaayyy, an Adam video 🙌💃🙌 Headed to worship this morning, so we'll watch later, but just wanted to wish you & your family a very Blessed Merry Christmas. Love y'all! 🎄❤️🙏
Same to you!
The driveway looks nice, Merry Christmas.
Adam, it is expensive, but turf blocks fill with gravel keeps the ground level and drains and is a long lasting solution for critical areas. Maybe just a couple of feet outside the garage. Oh, and make sure to lay down a geotextil underneath to prevent silt clogging it all. Now, about the video, it’s hypnotizing, there should be some kind of viewer protection rules for it😂
Seems like that tractor is the perfect weight and size for a property like yours.. seems to be able to do everything and more
That is a nice tracture.
Pro tip: If you need to beak up hard packed material and move larger amounts per pass use the scarifier teeth. Flip them over and set your depth. Go longer for more aggressive engagement while tilting it more forward. This is where a hydraulic top link shines, for box blade and land plane jobs. By using the rippers you would have had to make far less passes than you did and when you get close to your desired grade, raise them back up, same goes for the land plane.
Nice job Adam. That new tractor seems to have plenty of power for your needs. You are lucky that our weather lately has been conducive to you being able to get things like that done. Hopefully it will get cold and not a muddy mess. Merry Christmas. Stay safe, healthy and warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Merry Christmas from Australia. I’m nicknaming your driveway toast. You spread the butter evenly, even to the edge!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! Drive way looks fantastic!
Your operating skills have improved. Merry Christmas
Hi Adam, I thought this was a great video. You got some really cool video shots. LS should use them to showcase their tractors!
Merry Christmas to you Adan ,Lana and the children another successful year well done from Northamptonshire in the uk
Very nice job.
Your getting on to that tractor Adam, Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas Adam and family. Thanks for a great year of videos 👍
You do great work.
I appreciate that!
Nice Job Adam, your new Tractor seems to be ideal for your requirements and then some. Thank you for gifting us all your wonderful episodes over the past year. Hope your Stocking is full of continuing Joy of Family, Friendships and Adventures that facilitate new Growth, Smiles and Happiness. 😀👍🌲🚜👍🌲🚜👍🌲🚜👍
Thank You Richard. Happy to see your comments on all the videos over the last year!
Nicely done! Nothing like a nice gravel driveway 🎉
Happy to see someone working the tractor instead of walking around it. Would like to see discing
Merry Christmas to You and Yours.
And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
Merry Christmas to all and to all a "wood" night! 😉Shalom/gw
Merry Christmas to you & your family!
Looks good Adam. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Adam, another great Video, Merry Christmas to you and your Family.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Good work. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
What a difference, man that looks good! Helpful having this mild winter, gives some time to get projects like this done. Nice work!
I also love the gravel spread and the changes it makes to the ground.... Instant satisfaction!
I re-grade driveways a lot for my job. I do the majority of the driveways with a 9,000 lb skid steer with bucket only and I must say, you did a fantastic job with that tractor. Just remember, a puddle is the death of a gravel drive/road. Keeping it crowned and the water running into the lawn is the key. Great job getting rid of the ditch between the garage and shop.
Satisfying work. Merry Christmas🎄
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅🏻🌲
Doug as the adventurous cameraman is awesome! Loved all the tight action shots. You're gonna get a whole new crowd of long watch-time, watch till the end viewers in boys ages 2-102...Parents are gonna start putting their kid down in front of the computer or iPad and having your videos babysit. You're a shrewd businessman, Adam, and the father of a young son, so I think you know you might have struck gold on this one. Need to get this to go viral by sending to all the Moms in your and your wife's contact lists. Good Luck!
Wow! Nice job Adam! I believe this video, and the work included, would make even Mike Morgan (Out Doors with the Morgan’s) proud!😊
Love your channel!❤
Looking good especially since the stone was as wet as it was mike Morgan would be proud of you lol
I guess your favorite color is blue now. Blue tractor, blue shirt. love your videos. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and your family
The shadow that your tripod leaves is really eerie - 2 legs and a head - scary. Tracture (new combo word for the Funk & Wagnall) LOL. Nice job Adam. Stay safe and Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas from Florida
Nice job !
Looks like you did pretty good cutting that down couldn't have done it with a red belly ford which is what I learned on
Good job!
Adam. Merry Christmas to you, your family, Doug and his family.
It was great to watch you work, with Doug's help.
that came out nice
I know you’re enjoying that heated cab, Adam. Merry Christmas!
I absolutely am
Air-conditioned, too! And if it gets too hot, or too cold, you can always open one to three of the windows.
Another very timely video. I've got a box blade and have been using it to work on my 1200' new gravel driveway. We've only got #2 stone down now (the base material), and I had another triaxle load of #2s brought in last week and spread it in the low spots with the box blade. I had the driver spread the stone as best as he could where the muddy spots were and then went over it with the box blade and back dragging with the bucket. I've got a TYM T574HC (pretty much the same tractor as yours) and like you mentioned it handles the box blade just fine. I've been thinking of getting a land plane to finish up the driveway because I keep seeing how it's used on gravel and everyone keeps saying how great they are. Well, you've convinced me, I'll have to go buy one and stop struggling with the box blade and bucket.
Also, thanks for the shots of you in the cab working the bucket controls. I've been trying to figure out how people drop the stone so evenly from their buckets and watching you operate your tractor and dropping stone was exactly what I needed. Again, having a land plane to smooth out all those high spots left by the bucket will seal the deal.
Your driveway looks awesome!! A Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Comments like this are why we do RUclips. Always nice to hear we’re helping people!
We just got the Case version of this tractor (made by LS just red and branded case) and have been very impressed, definitely works above its weight class. All that said you are correct everyone does walk arounds but this is the first true working video I have seen.
I was under the impression that Case IH tractors like the Farmall line are made in CNH factories in numerous countries. Not made by LS like the New Holland compacts.
That is what I assumed as well but since 2022 CNH has apparently standardized the subcompact line between case and new holland. Case offers a 40c 45c and 55c that are the same as this LS on the video just coupled to a case loader. I wish I could send pictures in comments of the LS engine info take on the bright red tractor lol.
Wish you well, good luck be safe
That land plane...wow, works great. Nice job on this.
Merry Christmas Adam! Nice job! I enjoyed watching you this year and also enjoyed starting my own youtube channel. Here’s to another great year!
Thanks! You too!
This is arguably the most satisfying video on all of RUclips!!! Well done and man it looks amazing!!
Merry Christmas Adam and family!
Job well done! Have you been watching Mike Morgan? Your just as good.
Enjoyed the content, the usage of the machinery to scrape the grounds....love driveway refreshes.
Great job! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Looking forward to another year of Hometown Acres projects!
Thanks! You too!
You did a fantastic job on the driveway. What a ZgREAT sense if accomplishment.
Great Job Adam. Good to see Doug as well. Carl FONDEROSA FARMS MD.
about the right size tractor for the job. it's handled everything easy enough
Not sure how many remotes the LS has/can have but adding a hydraulic top link is a game changer - especially with a box blade.
Great job Adam.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Adam! LS did a good job.. They also made a wise decision getting you to represent them
Merry Christmas!
Well done Adam, what a transformation! Best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas full of happiness and joy
That tractor has got some power and weight! I have a Kioti 2610 and it probably would have taken twice the amount of time, but as I always say, anything is better than a shovel!
The sarifiers would help to loosen the material.
Wow, what a dramatic difference!! Great work!! 🪨🪨🪨👍🏻
That tractor does a fine job. Very well done, Adam.
Good Christmas Eve Morning everyone from very warm day 57 degree day here in Virginia Beach.
Adam, nice job. I love my land plane too. Works great on my 600 yard driveway.
Merry Christmas to you & your family also.
Have a day
Thank you Jack
Are you sure you were an accountant and not in land and property management previously!! Excellent work once again!!
What better way to spend Christmas Eve than watching Adam playing with his big balled/big nuts tractor.
Reminds me of when I got a Tonka toy digger for Christmas.
Just found you, and I had to say I love your Cupala on your garage. Nice work on the driveway also.
I had to look it up but it’s from Cupolas Direct the model is Dunlin with a 32” base.
Hi Adam. A few weeks ago, I had a similar project. I expanded the driveway, spreading 120 yards of fill. Using my JD 2025R, I stripped off the topsoil with the tiller and bucket, then laid down geotextile, which I covered with a layer of 2 inch stone and crushed concrete, followed by 3/4 inch crushed stone, topped by 3/4 inch gravel and fines. I spread and levelled this with the bucket and box blade.
I have never done this type of work before. I was happy that the job looked quite good when I finished.
I did not use the box blade as a plow, in reverse. Next year, when I continue the project, I will try that trick. Thank you for giving me that idea.
Yes I like use the box blade in reverse like a bull dozer on occasion. The length of you top link will determine how much it will cut vs vs just smoothing
Merry Christmas! Nicely done. Machine weight makes a huge difference with the work you can do, perhaps even more than horsepower. My tractor is the same size and base weight as your Kioti, and only 25ish HP. I run out of traction before I’m out of power with rear wheel weights and loaded rear R1 tires (it’s gear drive though, big difference there for pulling power over a hydro…). LS can send me one of those with R1 tires any time and I’ll demo it plenty 😆.
Nice! get a knob on the steering wheel
Nice work! I know Geotex is expensive for the heavy fabric but it definitely saves the stone from sinking
Merry Christmas to you and yours, blessings and salutations to all.
Nice job, Marry Christmas.
Очень полезное видео. Хорошего здоровья.
Hey Adam. Exelent job getting your driveway in shape. The LS along with the box blade and land plane really do a fantastic job. Well done.
Pretty impressive shaving off the crushed asphalt. Never would have done with the smaller tractor. Merry Christmas!!
I agree
Well of course , after all your 6'5" tall. lol Merry Christmas to you and your family and fans. cheers.
Merry Christmas Adam to you and yours have a peaceful and blessed day.
Enjoy watching your channel very much.
Nice job, just got a box blade need to practice some more for sure ! Merry Xmas to you and your family !
flip the tines over on the box blade it will help alot
Driveways are my favorite equipment related content to watch. I don't think it needs editing.
Not fair for you guys to speed up the video while land planing up next to the back garage doors. I thought you were going through them on each pass. Oh my heart! 🤣
Merry Christmas Adam and family. Thanks for bringing us along with you and for the great entertainment!!!
You are correct - watching this video was "0ddly satisfying"!! Blessed Christmas to you and your family!
Great video, Adam. Enjoyed watching the various points of view and angels on the tractor in action. It was extremely satisfying to watch and loved your comments. Especially 2:05 😂 Awesome tip 20:23 👍🏻 That quick connect 28:35 works amazing. That landplane is awesome. Merry Christmas 🎄 Adam and Family 🤗🥰 May Santa bring a LS MT357 cab tractor and quick connect implements to all.
Merry Christmas Adam!
Merry Christmas
I recently discovered your videos. I have the same tractor but mine MT347. They are great tractors and I think long term you’ll enjoy it. I love the work you done to the driveway. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos of the tractor in action.
