- Today I'll use my John Deere 2038r backhoe to rebuild a retaining wall. My John Deere 2038R is equipped with the 270b backhoe, this compact tractor makes my digging projects so much easier. Combined with the 220r loader there isn't many projects I can't do living in rural Iowa.
Welcome to my channel, I'm in Dubuque Iowa, and my channel is know as Today in Iowa or Bill Burkhart 1025.Be sure and check out my channel for many videos including the John Deere 1025 tractor backhoe and the many implements I have to maintain my property.
I'd enjoy hearing your comments, I answer every comment.

Greetings from a Nebraska boy living in Alexandria, Alabama.
Good morning Jack, I’ll put you on the map. Enjoy your Summer.
Retirement and a tractor, other than a great partner, what more could yo ask for. Nice and smooth on the backhoe
Gary, the backhoe is allowing me to “age in place” 😃😃
Hello again from Silverton, Oregon.
I really like your videos . There really informative and I like how you explain them
Thank you Mike! I sure appreciate your encouragement. Stay in touch and be safe.-Bill
great job
Thank you Eddie, I always appreciate encouragement for my viewers
Nicely done Bill. I agree with you on the backhoe . I got the backhoe and thumb for mine and it has probably paid for itself over the years.
Couldn't agree more Dave. Have a great summer. - Bill
Couldn't agree more Mr. G. Have a great summer.
@@billburkhart You as well. Enjoy your retirement. :)
Hi bill, Kenneth from small town Benton Ky. I purchased a 1025r with the backhoe this yr. and I love it, wish I had bought it yrs ago. I was thinking of running a gas line to my shop with the hoe, but after watching videos of guys using a subsoiler to bury lines may go that route doesn't tear up the yard near as bad. it doesn't look near as fun as using the hoe. though LOL.
Good morning Kenneth, Thanks for taking time to comment and watch my videos I sure appreciate it. Something almost therapeutic about running a backhoe isn’t there? I’m often looking for projects to be able to run my backhoe. Have a great Sunday
Great job. 👍
Thank you Laurie, have a great summer. - Bill
GOOD JOB Bill
Hi Mark, Happy 4th. I'm still planning on coming down in August, I call several weeks before planning a firm date to see if you're available.
@@billburkhart okay thanks
Enjoyed your video!
Thanks Ronald, so good to hear from you again. - Bill
Looks good Bill! Can never have enough toys!
I couldn’t agree more Dave, have a great summer
I enjoy your videos! I'm literally a day away from buying my own 2038R. I had hemmed and hawed about the backhoe, but my wife actually convinced me to go ahead and get it. I've had the same thoughts about renting, etc., but we aren't currently at our property fulltime, so having the flexibility to use it whenever I want just makes a lot of sense. Currently watching from Dayton, OH!
Good Morning Little Cabin. Congratulations with your decision to purchase the 2038R, you will not be disappointed, I promise. Celebrate your purchase and go out and get yourself a 5 way and a couple cony dogs at the Skyline or Gold Star near you. 😀
(My wife is from Cincinnati and I'm from Gallipolis) We don't have those restaurants here 😒
I believe when you sell the tractor backhoe, you'll recover a large amount of the original backhoe purchase making the actual cost of use...very low.
Thanks again for your encouraging comments. Contact me if I can help you with your new machine, I'm excited for you! - Bill
Nice information on the dig and layout of your pipe and wiring. Real nice shop my friend. I retired about a year ago. I had a 24X40 metal work shop built in April. Cheers and enjoy your retirement. Cheers from Fort Worth. God Bless All
Hi Rick, so good to hear from you again, I've been thinking about you, from what I see, it must be very hot down your way. Stay as cool as you can. Being retired I hope you enjoy the opening on the next video. Stay safe- Bill
great video hank you :) And I agree with your comments about the backhoe, it gives me the freedom in my older age to continue with yard projects I love, but without making my back or knees worse. Kim from Waterford, VA. Congrats on your retirement!
Thank you Kim, enjoy your summer!
I couldn't agree more with you about hard wiring your alarm. I have hard wires running from my house to the pole barn, to a driveway vehicle sensor, and even to the mailbox door. Wireless is neat but its hard to beat the dependability of a hard wired system.
Hi Chris- The alarm dependability was the issue with me also. Too many false alarms and trouble signals with wireless. I love your idea going to the mailbox, that's an awesome idea! Good to hear from you. - Bill
Nice work! That backhoe sure makes things easy! Nice looking 2038.
Happy 4th of July K6. Thanks for the compliment on the tractor and your correct, the backhoe made that job easy and able to be completed by myself.
@@billburkhart happy 4th to you as well!
Good video and congrats on retirement
Thank you J&J
Good video. That's a very impressive machine.
Thank you Robert, hope you had a nice 4th holiday. - Bill
Hi Bill. Thanks for the video. I also have a backhoe on my tractor and I am not as you young as I used to be and find the hoe with a 6 inch bucket to be very helpful. You may want to consider talking about an approximate cost savings for each project you do to help people conceptualize the savings with each attachment. That was a decent sized project you just did and I figure you saved a couple $$thousand bucks doing it yourself- at least where I live in crazy California. You also didn’t have to hire out for labor except the wife! Chris.
Hello Chris, I hope you had a safe 4th of July and I have to tell you tracking the cost of these projects is an excellent idea! I'll track the cost of these projects going forward and publish the savings. This should be fun. I'll be sure and recognize you for the idea. You know, even if I could find someone that would be interested in a job like this, you are correct. $2,000 for sure here in Iowa too. I've got about $100 in conduit, and $100 in miscellaneous parts, so we can say we saved $1800.00 so far.............now,............ how I track my wife' time???
Be safe my friend.
Hi Bill, checking in from San Isabel, CO. Great work on the trench. I’ve got a 6” bxpanded bucket on order for trenching with my 260b. Looking forward to it. Cheers!
I have an 8” bucket but chose to use the larger bucket because the heavy clay here sticks in the smaller bucket. Good luck with your project.
Hey Bill!... This is another fun video!. Also, I just got my 2025R. It took a little longer to get due to things out of my control. I would like to thank you for your very helpful videos. I got a lot of information from you on small tractors and implements.
Your very welcome Roger, thanks for the kind comments. Enjoy your Summer.
this was really enjoyable to watch. I like this style video format. you should look into one of those trenching buckets. that thing is sweet!
So good to hear from you again Dave. I was sorry to hear about Daisy. Hope your doing well despite the loss. - Bill
@@billburkhart thanks Bill. its been a real struggle not having my Daisy Girl here with me. she was an amazing companion and friend.
At the time you are sitting off side of your trench. Might try to be more of a 45 degree rather than a 90 degree. At the 45 your backhoe will be able to handle the ditching better. It should be easier to control like if you were straight over the location for your ditch. This way of operating MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE or in every situation.
I never thought of that, I’ll definitely try it next time I’m out. Thanks Andrew, enjoy your weekend.
How is retirement? Hope you enjoy every minute of NOT BEING REQUIRED TO GET UP FOR WORK. :)
Hi Andrew, I've been retired 6 days and it's going well. I hope you enjoy the next video opening.
Thanks for asking, I hope you have AC in Oregon, I see the weather in your area looks much warmer than usual.
