So Sorry to hear about Marty, I am a First Responder, living with PTSD, I will admit I have contemplated taking my own life, but this being over 30 years ago, their wasn't any help available in my area, so I sought out a friend, a Christian Police Officer who I credit with keeping me around, Jesus and him, he ultimately lost his life doing what he loved, " helping people " Mark was one of the Canadian RCMP Officers that was killed in the Haiti Earthquake. As you said, " THEIR IS HELP, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, TELL SOMEBODY SO THEY CAN HELP YOU " We will you All in our Prayers, as well as Marty's family, Blessings to you All
Like Tim's remarks, a very timely word. I.have just prayed for peace for Marty's family and I pray that anyone struggling with severe depression will act on both you and Tim's words.
Mr. Gaudet, I too suffer from severe depression and anxiety along with other things. You are not alone and God will always guide you and is always with you through everything you go through and everything you do.
Tim, Christy, thanks for mentioning Marty, he was a good man and great friend to me and my family, I wish I'd have known the internal struggles he was facing so I could have tried to help him. God bless you both!
My gosh Ken. So sorry to hear this and man I feel for you. Been here with a friend of mine and sure wish would have known. 🙏Prayers for you guys and Marty’s family. Hard to hit the like button on this one 😔
Hi Tim and subscribers. I'm a 74 year old home owner. My wife and I have a little 7 acre homestead, gardens, long driveway (dirt) and about a billion uses for a compact tractor which I've dodged getting for almost 35 years due to cost. But as I've aged, wheel barrows, snow shovels, spades and the like just aren't cutting it anymore, so next month I am bringing home a JD 1025R from our local JD guy. I am very excited about this purchase, have a zillion questions, but have already benefitted greatly from Tim's great channel here. Thanks Tim. I am presently pondering snow removal options with your help. As I get more experience and time with my tractor, I'll be asking specific questions but until then, I am most grateful for all I have learned from all of you. In addition, stupid extra comment, but I'm a great appreciator of good graphic art. Tim, your Tractor Time with Tim graphic is one of the best I've seen. Whoever designed that was an artist.
Really enjoyed this video. Glad to see neighbors helping neighbors. Would really like to see a few more videos helping Pam and Ann improve their new place. Amazing what just fixing the drive did. Prayers for Marty and his family.
Amen to what Tim Gaudet wrote!! The tractor stuff is great, but your messages are great. So very sad to hear about Marty. Makes my heart ache. The world is hurting and too many do not reach out to the only help they need, Jesus.
Tim you hit the nail on the head. You never know what someone is going through. People get good at hiding their pain. That’s why you always have to be kind as everyone is dealing with their own pain. You never know, “I saw them last week and they were happy”.
I was heartbroken to hear about Marty. I recall the video you did with him. He was a nice gentle man. Yet desperation can strike anyone. You not only offered advice to contact professional help you offered to contact even yourself. One never knows in the chain of events we call life what link we may be. We are Gods hands. My prayers to Marty’s family. You are correct Tim Jesus Christ offers hope and strength. Nice to see you helping new neighbors it reinforces who you are. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Aww Tim sorry I missed this video but I’m watching it now. I remember your video with Ken and Marty. I’m sorry to hear that about Marty. It’s sad. But you guys make me happy keep up the nice work. Amen god bless you guys.
Thank you for mentioning getting help if you’re feeling down or depressed. Many people feel like they’re alone even if they’re not. Sorry to hear about your friend. May god bless you all
So sorry to hear about Marty . my best friend in high school ended his life a few years after we graduated , So I know how it can hurt . R.I. P Marty .
You are the best. I find getting stuff done with tractor always cheers me up, I am sorry that did not help Marty. It was compassionate of you to bring suicide up. It is often hidden.
I’m so sorry to hear about Marty’s passing. Tim, You and Christy did a beautiful thing in highlighting the National Suicide prevention hotline. You did a great job on their driveway!
So sorry to hear the sad news about Marty. We'll be Praying for his family & friends! Thank you Tim & Christy for spreading the Word & encouraging folks to seek Him! God Bless Yall!
So sorry to hear about Marty. I do remember that episode with him. I guess that sometimes, life seems a little overwhelming for some folks, and you feel that there's nowhere to turn. I myself had a difficult time after my cancer surgery, and not being able to eat solid food. Ironic, that I was (am) a chef. Two years on, it's still not possible. But my faith has helped me more than I can articulate here, and I still hold out hope. Love your work brother!
Sorry to hear about Marty. I've never met the man, not sure I ever even saw the videos he was a part of, but I still shed a couple of tears imagining the way he must have been feeling. Thanks for that message, Tim. It's always a good reminder that help is out there. And folks, if you feel like you're in that place, and are having trouble finding the help you need, call 911 before finding a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Hello Tim I enjoy watching your videos and your scripture at the end of this video touched me as I have been having some rough times lately Thank you and God bless you and your family
What an excellent job you did; excellent job; excellent tractor; excellent neighbors; excellent video! I cannot get enough of these tractor project videos!
I really appreciate you what you and Christy do with my health problems right now I can't really get around outside to do my work but I could sure what you on RUclips and you guys always do an excellent job and the help you do with the community thank you Tim
Always heart breaking when someone takes their own life, it is wonderful that you let everyone know there is help always available. Tim, you are a super gentleman.
I am spreading rock for the first time today with my 2025r . Timing of this video is perfect very helpful. Very sorry to hear about Marty will be praying for his family .
I got out and played with my tractor yesterday too! Gorgeous weather in Evansville, but tonight it's raining and about to freeze... 5 to 6 inches snow tomorrow
News of Marty passing is sad. I hope he is in a better place. I just pushed back a lot of snow with my 33R getting ready for the next storm. It did great but under the snow in my driveway was a layer of ice. The R4 tires did ok but I needed more traction. So I purchased studs and I’m going to try them out once they are delivered. Another great video.
@@TractorTimewithTim Tim I played 9 holes in 61 degree weather. A little chilly for me. But tomorrow and Friday will be in the low 70s. But then saturday your cold front hits here. 30s at night 45 during the day , you have to take the good with the bad. My mom would say yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a blessing.
I am saddened about Marty. Many of us have been impacted by a family member or a loved one who has taken that path. Prayers for him and his family and friends who remain, struggling with the sadness and questions that follow. Thanks Tim for sharing a message of Faith, hope and awareness. Blessings.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I've had a few friends and relatives take their own lives, it's never easy. The really sad part of someone taking their own life is that it's a permanent solution for a temporary problem...Like you said ask for help, sometimes just talking to someone can make a difference. Anyway that 3046r seems like the perfect size. How does it compared to the 2038r. Thanks for the videos.
You are a good Christian man and family Charlie Brown. You bring great joy and knowledge to the table everyday. It is just cool to see people referencing you on some of the Facebook groups. You will love the 3, warts and all. I have had my 3039r since 2016 and I have zero regrets. Rock on Brother.
Could you come to Ohio sometime? I’m not far from Orville and I know you know where that’s at. Sorry to hear about Marty, I have also lost too many from suicide and addiction as well. May God bless his soul and his surviving family.
When back dragging I found it easier to float the loader and use the angle of the bucket to the ground to control how much material I move. You do great work!
sorry to hear about Marty, thank you for sharing Psalm, at the back end of the video, and for your compassion Tim. I'll begrading our driveway again soon, watching you gave me some good ideas!
This was a great house warming present. I love to see how you are always looking for ways to show your hospitality and the love of Christ. I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend Marty. Your 3046R was the tractor I initially wanted to purchase in 2020 but was told it would take until 2021 to get it. I went with a 2038R and was very happy to find out how capable it was. One question in had was how high did you set the rpm to work that gravel? It sounded like you were just idling along. I recently moved about 10 yards of base mix to prepare for a metal building site and needed to have the rpm set around 2200 in order to keep from bogging it down. I love my land-plane in its ability to smooth out the gravel.
Tim & Christy, Thank you for your stand first of all. Thank you for talking about suicide. I am sorry to hear about Marty. I lost a family member to suicide this past weekend, also.
Sad to hear about Marty. 🤔😣😞. As Tim says. Look for help life is too short. Not making it shorter than should be. Ask for help. Call the hot line. Great video of making the driveway for your neighbor is cool
Very sorry to hear about Marty. It is just a reminder for us all to show kindness to others. You never know what someone else is going through, and the kindness you show to a person can possibly make a difference in their lives. As always, Great video, and also a great message about reaching out.
Be careful, Tim, that tractor will spoil you 😉 Looks good to see a 3R project on TTWT. I bought mine and then searched youtube for tractor videos and in a manner of speaking met you and your "Johnny" and your family that day. We've been watching your work ever since. Sorry to hear about Marty. Prayers being said.
Tragic to hear about Marty. What a nice person he was. This was a good way to show the usefulness of a loader and bucket. Looks like it spread out easily since the ground was frozen. Seeing this reminded me of a time we borrowed our late neighbor's Ford 8N and had a rear blade to push around a truckload of #4 stone. That old thing moved it without breaking a sweat.
Boy that 3046R sounds beefy and powerful. Can't wait to see if you put up a snow removal video next. You guys getting all our snow that was originally supposed to be in Wisc and boring winter no snow hardly this season. I got 4 Deere waiting for snow to push, blow or scrape.. enjoy it before it melts :)
Having you ask to subscribe is not a bad thing Tim. A lot of folks really enjoy your content but don't think about hitting that subscribe button. I'm here with you on the snow. It started about 7 last night and hasn't let up. I plan to get my little G1800 out to plow, but may have to get out the BX. Take care and stay warm, Jason
Sorry to hear of the loss of Marty great video spread two loads of stone with my 3 series last year I had so much fun doing it it’s a great machine for that kinda work
Turn the rpms up. They like to run between 2 and 3 grand. Should be way more responsive. I love our 3046r. Can't wait to get more attachments for it. Your channel is great btw. It's awesome watching all the different jobs and attachments.
Something I found helpful is when I’m doing loader work and the auto throttle is on is to run the throttle up to about 1500 RPMs. The loader works much faster but it make pushing into the pile easier. It also just sounds like it’s easier in the engine. Try it and let us know what you think.
I find that auto throttle on mine to be more of pain than a help. Like you said, I also feel it hits the engine and hydraulics harder. I think it even goes through less fuel when not using it. Just keeping the RPM's at around the eco pto range seems to be the sweet spot. Hydraulics are smooth, engine doesn't seem to berp, and the traction forward backwards has less delay and is smoother. Curious what others have to say on it.
I completely agree. I have a 3046r and even with the auto throttle on run up to between 1500 and 1700 rpm seems to make a world of difference driving into a pile and moving a loaded bucket. However I will throttle down when spreading just so the bucket won’t dump as quickly. But I am sure with a little more practice it will get easier with the higher rpm
Has anyone used the work load speed thing? According to the manual, if you're using the PTO, and the load starts getting high, it'll slow the tractor down until the load evens out. I haven't had a use case for it yet, just curious how it works in real life.
Any friend of yours, Tim, feels like a friend to me. That's why hearing the news about Marty was saddening. There had to have been a better answer to whatever was troubling him. May he rest in peace.
Great video, helping out the new neighbors. Johnny III looked good hauling the stone and pulling the land plane. I'm sure he will make a great addition to your stable. Sorry to hear about Marty, the videos he was in were great.
God Bless and Rest In Peace Marty. Tim, you may have saved a life today by sharing the information about Marty and encouraging people to seek help rather than take their own life. The scripture quoted was "on point" too. Seeing you on your new tractor working with your new neighbors was also inspiring. Life must go on and we all need reminding there are countless ways to help those in need; whether working for pay or for free. On a lighter note, I think I saw Christy's shadow make a cameo appearance. Go Christy! Best camera operator in the business.
I don't want to be too critical in my message, but it absolutely must be said. There is no resting in peace when one assumes the role of God. It is the ultimate sin and the most selfish act one can commit on this earth. Have a great day.
I think adding a shallow ditch on each side would help alot. You could dig them with a box blade in minutes. Like the #2 stone less likely to be thrown by the tires than smaller stones. I don't think this is more than a short term fix. Let us know and follow up in late August or when they add the top coats.
Put down 8" of that number 2 stone then put 4-5" of 21AA lime stone on top. That drive way will be their for a very long time. Tim good to see the first tractors job.
Thank you and Christy for taking the time to create interesting and educational content. The 3046R is a little beast compared to my 2025R. Sad to hear about Marty. We all have our good days and our bad days. Sorry for Ken, and everyone else that knew him, for their loss. 🙏🏻
This is a beautiful machine guys, I'm so glad things have gone so well to allow your channel and life to grow as I've seen over the last few years watching. I had not seen the videos with Marty, but he sounds like a god guy, I'm sorry for the loss it has left for so many people. Mental health is a demon so many struggle with, and I'm glad you put the reminder for people that there is help both in the Lord as well as in ones physical community.
Tim if it was me, I'd recommend putting some Class 2 Crushed Granite with the fines still in it, over the top of the nice rock you put on the driveway, just to seal and set the rock. Then you would have an excellent driveway. Just a suggestion. Nice job
I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. A couple of other thoughts: 1) don’t worry - you’ll have plenty of people (mostly people who have never been on a tractor) giving you advice on how to do your tractor stuff. I see lots of it and I’m sure you do too. 2) I’m glad to see someone else doing driveway work!
Sad to hear about Marty. I remember that video and enjoyed watching. Nice work with #2 rock. I was surprised to see how well the land plane did on this size rock. Good to know it can handle it well.
Great job helping your neighbor. I have several people in my life to that have taken their own life. It’s so tragic, especially to their family. There is lots of help out there. I do enjoy reading the Bible verse at the end of your videos. I’m hoping to see you again in Louisville.
So Sorry to hear about Marty, I am a First Responder, living with PTSD, I will admit I have contemplated taking my own life, but this being over 30 years ago, their wasn't any help available in my area, so I sought out a friend, a Christian Police Officer who I credit with keeping me around, Jesus and him, he ultimately lost his life doing what he loved, " helping people " Mark was one of the Canadian RCMP Officers that was killed in the Haiti Earthquake.
As you said, " THEIR IS HELP, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, TELL SOMEBODY SO THEY CAN HELP YOU "
We will you All in our Prayers, as well as Marty's family, Blessings to you All
Like Tim's remarks, a very timely word. I.have just prayed for peace for Marty's family and I pray that anyone struggling with severe depression will act on both you and Tim's words.
Thanks Tim
Thanks Jim
As a social worker, I appreciate the message Tim. Keep up the good work!
Mr. Gaudet, I too suffer from severe depression and anxiety along with other things. You are not alone and God will always guide you and is always with you through everything you go through and everything you do.
Tim, Christy, thanks for mentioning Marty, he was a good man and great friend to me and my family, I wish I'd have known the internal struggles he was facing so I could have tried to help him. God bless you both!

Hi Tim and subscribers. I'm a 74 year old home owner. My wife and I have a little 7 acre homestead, gardens, long driveway (dirt) and about a billion uses for a compact tractor which I've dodged getting for almost 35 years due to cost. But as I've aged, wheel barrows, snow shovels, spades and the like just aren't cutting it anymore, so next month I am bringing home a JD 1025R from our local JD guy. I am very excited about this purchase, have a zillion questions, but have already benefitted greatly from Tim's great channel here. Thanks Tim. I am presently pondering snow removal options with your help. As I get more experience and time with my tractor, I'll be asking specific questions but until then, I am most grateful for all I have learned from all of you. In addition, stupid extra comment, but I'm a great appreciator of good graphic art. Tim, your Tractor Time with Tim graphic is one of the best I've seen. Whoever designed that was an artist.
Hey Tim. Thank you for being so faithful in sharing your faith.
Thanks for the encouragement.
That’s one of the many reasons I watch y’all Tim, you are not scared to speak the word or let people know who they need to turn to.

Having you ask to subscribe is not a bad thing Tim. A lot of folks really enjoy your content but don't think about hitting that subscribe button. I'm here with you on the snow. It started about 7 last night and hasn't let up. I plan to get my little G1800 out to plow, but may have to get out the BX. Take care and stay warm, Jason
Sorry to hear of the loss of Marty great video spread two loads of stone with my 3 series last year I had so much fun doing it it’s a great machine for that kinda work
Thank you
Turn the rpms up. They like to run between 2 and 3 grand. Should be way more responsive. I love our 3046r. Can't wait to get more attachments for it. Your channel is great btw. It's awesome watching all the different jobs and attachments.
Thanks. I had all I needed for this job, but yes, we typically run higher rpm.
Something I found helpful is when I’m doing loader work and the auto throttle is on is to run the throttle up to about 1500 RPMs. The loader works much faster but it make pushing into the pile easier. It also just sounds like it’s easier in the engine. Try it and let us know what you think.
I was going to mention this, but you already did Jeff.
I find that auto throttle on mine to be more of pain than a help. Like you said, I also feel it hits the engine and hydraulics harder. I think it even goes through less fuel when not using it. Just keeping the RPM's at around the eco pto range seems to be the sweet spot. Hydraulics are smooth, engine doesn't seem to berp, and the traction forward backwards has less delay and is smoother. Curious what others have to say on it.
I completely agree. I have a 3046r and even with the auto throttle on run up to between 1500 and 1700 rpm seems to make a world of difference driving into a pile and moving a loaded bucket. However I will throttle down when spreading just so the bucket won’t dump as quickly. But I am sure with a little more practice it will get easier with the higher rpm
Has anyone used the work load speed thing? According to the manual, if you're using the PTO, and the load starts getting high, it'll slow the tractor down until the load evens out. I haven't had a use case for it yet, just curious how it works in real life.
Any friend of yours, Tim, feels like a friend to me. That's why hearing the news about Marty was saddening. There had to have been a better answer to whatever was troubling him. May he rest in peace.
Very good video. God bless you
My favorite type of TTWT!
Great video, helping out the new neighbors. Johnny III looked good hauling the stone and pulling the land plane. I'm sure he will make a great addition to your stable. Sorry to hear about Marty, the videos he was in were great.
The 3 series jd R tractors have been a great tractor series. Love you all and thank you.
The new Johnny looks and sounds great tim and kristie and you did a great job ,and very sad to hear that a great man took his own life .
God Bless and Rest In Peace Marty. Tim, you may have saved a life today by sharing the information about Marty and encouraging people to seek help rather than take their own life. The scripture quoted was "on point" too. Seeing you on your new tractor working with your new neighbors was also inspiring. Life must go on and we all need reminding there are countless ways to help those in need; whether working for pay or for free. On a lighter note, I think I saw Christy's shadow make a cameo appearance. Go Christy! Best camera operator in the business.
I don't want to be too critical in my message, but it absolutely must be said. There is no resting in peace when one assumes the role of God. It is the ultimate sin and the most selfish act one can commit on this earth. Have a great day.
I think adding a shallow ditch on each side would help alot. You could dig them with a box blade in minutes. Like the #2 stone less likely to be thrown by the tires than smaller stones. I don't think this is more than a short term fix. Let us know and follow up in late August or when they add the top coats.
Put down 8" of that number 2 stone then put 4-5" of 21AA lime stone on top. That drive way will be their for a very long time. Tim good to see the first tractors job.
Thanks for your videos -neighbors like you make the world a better place
Not really a praying man but I will say a prayer for the family. Love your content.
Thank you
So sorry to hear about Marty, something went wrong with this person, there is help for these people..... prays for the family...
Thank you and Christy for taking the time to create interesting and educational content. The 3046R is a little beast compared to my 2025R. Sad to hear about Marty. We all have our good days and our bad days. Sorry for Ken, and everyone else that knew him, for their loss. 🙏🏻
This is a beautiful machine guys, I'm so glad things have gone so well to allow your channel and life to grow as I've seen over the last few years watching.
I had not seen the videos with Marty, but he sounds like a god guy, I'm sorry for the loss it has left for so many people. Mental health is a demon so many struggle with, and I'm glad you put the reminder for people that there is help both in the Lord as well as in ones physical community.
Was very enjoyable watching you help neighbors
She seems like a fantastic person. Thanks for helping her out T&C 🙏
Tim if it was me, I'd recommend putting some Class 2 Crushed Granite with the fines still in it, over the top of the nice rock you put on the driveway, just to seal and set the rock. Then you would have an excellent driveway. Just a suggestion. Nice job
GREAT video, good job done with big Johnny... 🙂
Wow... you got a LOT more coverage out of those stones than I was expecting.
Me too. We’ll see how it goes.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. A couple of other thoughts: 1) don’t worry - you’ll have plenty of people (mostly people who have never been on a tractor) giving you advice on how to do your tractor stuff. I see lots of it and I’m sure you do too. 2) I’m glad to see someone else doing driveway work!
Sad to hear about Marty. I remember that video and enjoyed watching. Nice work with #2 rock. I was surprised to see how well the land plane did on this size rock. Good to know it can handle it well.
Great job helping your neighbor. I have several people in my life to that have taken their own life. It’s so tragic, especially to their family. There is lots of help out there. I do enjoy reading the Bible verse at the end of your videos. I’m hoping to see you again in Louisville.
