I really love this mower!! I was just going to watch some of your older videos again just to see this mower, I’m really glad you made this new video! It’s just so relaxing to watch for some reason and it does such a nice job.
@@TractorTimewithTim I know I’ve seen them all probably 10x haha! I just got my 8’ pull type Modern Ag cutter. I know it doesn’t flex like the ts10 but it’s half the cost, hopefully I’ll be happy with it.
Always loved tractors, now and as a kid. Growing up in the suburbs, the city mowing contractor is all I have to watch for tractors. That TS10 is really something! Its amazing how great that thing cuts. The Contractor here uses flex wing mowers, albeit much larger. 15 to 20 foot mowers to be exact, and all Rhino. You look like you are having fun, Tim! Me, I'd love that. You wouldn't be able to get me off the tractor! Partial to Deere, but I am a general enthusiast. The 3046R is a nice little tractor.
Our daughter was married here on our farm June 4 in the hay field furthest from our house. I mowed about 12 acres for the tent, parking etc. almost weekly starting the 3rd week of March. In May, it was twice a week. JD 4052 and a 6' bush hog. Lots of seat time!
I have never related more to someone than when Tim said “some people have fun in different ways”. Tim, any kind of tractor work is my favorite pass time over anything
You are part of the reason I went with a TS 12 I remember all the cutting of with that TS 10 on a property with brush and the good job it did. I have an NX 4510 and I mow the ditches with the travel lock for height. Leaves it nice and green and the weeds can't grow so fast with the tall grass But it looks really good. It does a real good job of chewing up all the grass also. Enjoy the videos.
You mastered that 180 degree turn to keep the mower on point right back on the next row of grass. Impressive. I had to chuckle when you were talking about the mower discharge and there was Christy’s shadow, literally running, chasing the mower for the shot.
I really enjoyed this video. Getting to mow with a great tractor and cutter on some beautiful property makes for good views. It sure doesn’t hurt to have such good A/V equipment to capture all this and be able to hear it so clearly. Thanks for you and Christy do
What a nice job. It features a great turning radius, and I saw you turn around on the end and come back on the same pass. The PTO seems very forgiving on tight turns. The tractor seemed very comfortable with TS-10. Enjoyable to watch. Have a blessed Independence Day!
Tim, The outboard wheel spindle shaftst on the wings are likely welded in place. A suggestion to Rhino would be to use a bolt in spindle shaft, or a wedge type like a bale spear, that could be reversable. This would allow the wheel to run at the edge for ditch work and normal usage and reversed with the wheel inset for getting closer to obstacles without rubbing the tire on them. Just a thought.
I have had a a hell of a time mowing my lawn this year. Once every mower was broken i had no choice to use the brush mower just to get it done. I had a problem doing that cause it didn’t seem like it would work well but it did ok. Now after seeing this, i feel like i can admit i did it. 😂
Love seeing the TS10 probably my favourite attachment to watch. Mowed along the freeway with a JD HX15 for years and its amazing how much stability the mower adds to the machine. Also, could back sign posts/trees/reflectors in between the back tandems and it would cut fairly close
We finally went for a tractor and got it on Friday. Aside from driving it around the yard a little bit we haven't got around to doing any work with it yet. When we went to price out a unit at the beginning of June we stuck to the brands that were the easiest to travel to from our house which were Kubota, John Deere, Massey Ferguson & Kioti. Since Kubota has the awful rocker pedal we just kind of skipped looking at one of those. We looked at a Massey Ferguson and Kioti first since the same dealer sells both. The smallest Kioti he had on the lot was too big for our yard and he didn't have any of the sub-compact Kioti's in stock. He also said the Kioti's were more expensive than the Massey and steered us toward that as best bang-for-buck. So we got it priced out in a few different configurations to see what the difference in payments would be. A front mounted snow blower obviously being the most expensive. We also got it priced out with just it's stock loader unit & a set of pallet forks and it's stock setup with a box blade. But before we went with that as our choice we priced out a John Deere 1023E also with a snow blower. Ended up going for the Massey because the John Deere was going for $3,000 more and the tractor itself wasn't really any better imo. What made it even worse is the monthly payments I was given by the John Deere dealer were what he estimated even AFTER adding all of the incentives John Deere was offering. So that was a bit nope. So, long story short we opted for a Massey Ferguson GC1723 E with it's stock loader and an added box blade for flattening and maintaining the yard/driveway. When we hit the 50 hour break in period the dealer wants us to call them and they'll come get it to do a full fluid flush and filter change which is nice. All of the controls seem to be in a decent layout and are easy to get to. So I'm very eager to do some work with it. We're hoping to move some dirt around tomorrow. :)
I just picked up a used woods rm 600 3 point finish mower last week. It needs a little tlc but tried it out on my 3046r and for what I was cutting (taller then by looks you just had) it did well. One of the tlc items is a set of blades as these are very nicked up but in good shape if they aren't so deep that it take having an edge put on then again. I've only got about 2 tops that we let go and hit it once a month or so. Loved the cruise control while doing it!.
Good video! I just bought an RC3715 looking forward to using it, also have ordered a summit kit to give me the extra circuits. You guys have a nice channel
Hi from Virginia. Two thoughts. Cab on my 3033r is great. Can work in the rain,heat, or cold. And, love the cruse, and load control for this type of work....Now if I just had Autosteer! Cheers and have a great week.
Haha, I was just going to comment before you said it, that a hydrostat would be so nice when mowing around stuff! We mow around TONS of trees a time or 2 a summer, and it just ends up better to leave a teardrop on each side, and go back with the ZTR. Of course, we do as much driveway grading (5/8 mile, some of it at 20% grade) and log skidding that I don't know that a hydrostat would hold up well to that over time. Also, with a 64HP tractor...

I know fuel over there is expensive...but of course in germany it is quite a bit more expensive.-.-
I do understand. Unfortunately, we are doing all we can to imitate your government! Heading toward the same climate blah blah stuff…so far that we are destroying our entire economic system.
Wrestling with my PTO link is a continual source of frustration for a variety of reasons, none the least of which is getting sufficient rotation in the shaft to get things to line up while simultaneously working within the tight quarters of my quick hitch, I may consider this system if I can find a buyer for my PTO link..
I said something a while back when you didn't have a three series yet that it was the best all around size. Believe the last few videos are starting to show that it's small enough for most jobs but powerful enough for some big jobs. Seems to be the go to tractor.
Seems to me if you mow down the side of a field and back at Just over half (big turn) then loop back for second on the side and back to second on second half. Always turning half a field. Helps if the ends are mowed once or twice.
It's nice to see how sharp you can turn with that cutter. It's also interesting how Rhino Ag doesn't use a traditional blade pan/stump jumper like most other manufacturers do.
The trees could be cut with a lawn mower or smaller machine. I do circles around my trees and then with the big drag mower I just have to overlap the circles. We try to keep both at the same height anyway. Martin
Two good mower stories. We lost our farm and had to work for other farmers. The place my brother worked at had a wide mower and at least once a week the PTO shaft would break. They blamed the driver for cutting too sharp. My brother told the owners son it was put on backwards. He was told in no uncertain terms to put it back just how it comes off. After the third time my brother had to fix it he reversed it. The next week the driver was telling the bosses son how he mowed all week and it never broke and ran much smoother. The bosses son talked to my brother and said you turned it around didn't you. Yep. The bosses son, who was also a school teacher said well, that is how the salesman told me it went. I was using the wide mower my boss had, every now and then it would make clanging noises. My old bush hog did that because the sides were pushed in and the blades would hit sometimes so i thought nothing of it. I told my boss and he said it gets out of time, just take one of the side shafts off and retime it. Whaaat!! OK, I do that, an hour later it grenades. He was blaming me for not fixing it soon enough. If it is jumping time the center gear box was already toast. One expensive gearbox later it was purring like a kitten. It goes to show you you do not have to be a good mechanic to be a successful farmer.
Pretty nice setup Tim but I noticed that when you were reversing , you didn't push your RIO switch . Does your 3046 not have it ? Even just a moments hesitation and my 2025r pto will shut down . A pain in the rear if you ask me .
Great video,like your channel and the showing of the things a small tractors can do ,for years we dairy farm the a Massey Ferguson 135 and it did everything,just wondering have you had any problems with the tractor running hot with that mower thanks
@@TractorTimewithTim Yessir, shouldn’t air ride seats be mandated by local, county, state and federal regulations? Or just standard equipment in the J.D. lineup? Bill
I have been thinking of going up too the two series from my 1025r I just use it to mow my back yard with because it’s very hilly and a regular lawnmower doesn’t last are the two series worth the money to upgrade in your opinion my wife doesn’t want me to spend the money but I’m just so uncomfortable on my 1025 because I’m 6,7 and no room to move around
The 2032r/2038r is definitely worth it. Huge step up in comfort. Get Rimguard, wheel spacers, and wheel weights. These will help you with both hillside stability AND ride quality.
Yea. Vinny’s tough cut would not have mulched the cuttings as much….but would have cut it cleanly. Vinny’s finish mowers would work great in the condition we left the grass after this episode.
Another GEART fun video, I think you found the right tractor for the job, what will it look like after the 12 foot finish mower has its day of cleaning up the leftovers, sounds like the next video... Have a great 4th of July... wave the flag on SUPER Johnny... THANKS... 🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🙂
Needed the canopy and fan, yes…but nice to be able to get under trees. Much more maneuverable without the loader, and I needed the hydraulics to run one of the rear valves.
@@TractorTimewithTim I'm curious but does the 3R series offer OEM 3 rear remotes like the Grand L? To me they are very similar Tractors. We went with The Grand L primarily because our dealer had one available and we just waited a few months for the loader to come in. It would have been a longer wait for a JD or Kubota to have it all come in together. Just the way the world is now.
Yes, the 3R offers rear remotes. I have one… there are two more available. I did not get them because I want to show chase a Summit product…which I have not yet received. The 3R is similar but physically smaller than the Grand L. Both are fabulous machines! I would say the 4060 and 4760 are more similar to the 4R in physical size…but likely not quite as capable. It is hard to do direct comparisons on these due to size differences.
@@TractorTimewithTim Yes that is why we went with the 3560 because it is only 5 feet wide like the 3R series. Basically, the Grand L gets about 6 inches wider as you go up on each model.
We show it on a 2038r which is identical drivetrain (engine/transmission). On level ground, you will be fine. Steep hills will be a challenge due to weight of the unit. You need at least one rear hydraulic valve. Worst case, you have an excuse upgrade to a 3046r or larger ;-)
Here is one in the Northeast for $13,900. I would expect the Northeast to be the most expensive area. Since they are made in Illinois, the shipping would be less near there. www.macfaddens.com/inventory/?/listing/for-sale/33058543/2022-rhino-ts10-rotary-mowers-hay-and-forage-equipment?dlr=1&accountcrmid=1695593&settingscrmid=1695593
Hey Tim: quick question, I was under the impression that the 3 series didn’t come with a removable bucket if ordered with one. Is that true? If so why did you purchase one with a bucket?
Bill, the 3e is TOTALLY different than the 3R. 3e is about half as powerful, and yes, the 3e loader is not easily removable. 3R is a high end machine with easily removable loader, mid PTO, etc. Deere made this confusing by calling both of them ‘3 series’. They are NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Here is a new one in the Northeast listed at $13,900. I would expect the northeast to be the most expensive area. www.macfaddens.com/inventory/?/listing/for-sale/33058543/2022-rhino-ts10-rotary-mowers-hay-and-forage-equipment?dlr=1&accountcrmid=1695593&settingscrmid=1695593
Your comment about an older tractor...Yes a 1960s tractor would do everything you do but without the comfort of hydrostatic drive and probably 4 wheel drive, Oh and power steering. BUT.. it would be cheaper to run , use less fuel and no pigs pee !! and not rev its whatsists to give 540 rpm to the implement.
I have 25 acres that I have to keep up and I think a flail mower is a lot better solution. This is big, bulky and hard to manuver around obstacles. The flail mower is small, nimble and can turn any size of grass into mulch instantly.
Can’t mow as large of material. Hammers will break if hit large rock (blades on brush hog will chip, but not nearly as much damage) Flail must cut very low to do a good job…brush mower can cut higher (therefore more safely) Flails more expensive to maintain….all those hammers to replace.
@@TractorTimewithTim I guess it depends on where you live. If you have a lot of rock on your property then a flail may not be the best choice of mower for your property.
Tim I could have used this when I cleaned up a local church where lawn wasn't cut all summer it was 4.5 acres of 3 ft tall grass I don't wana say how long it took me with 6 ft brush cutter 😅
I could have used it Tuesday when was mowing stuff like 5 foot high there was about 20-25 acres took me 12.5 hrs to do it all but all I had was a 1940 Ford 9n and 4 foot rotary cutter lol
@@jarrodp6068 that's a lot of fuel I thought I burned a lot of diesel at the church but I have a older ac d12 and that usto burn 2 gallons an hr when I cut with it
I won't complain about using 8 gallon of diesel then wow but those old tractors still work good just hungry I keep my d12 around for back up it my compact tractor goes down @@jarrodp6068
they need to put 360 spindles like on a zero turn instead of being fixed. tell your wife to go to Duluth trading and get a sun hat. they make battery operated fans to stand by help with keeping cool and camera to. the fan is else where. Pedialyte for infants n kids has adult version in sport etc instead of diet soda. stay away from those and just water you need to put electrolytes back into your system. prevents cramps to heat strokes. then look at protein bars don’t eat large meals i’ve done that done bought that t-shirt your blah feeling. the cheese snacks with almonds cranberries chocolate not a dark chocolate fan unless it’s the better stuff. gatorade has snacks
Would you like a refund? I rewatched the video. It is clear you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. This microphone is capturing my voice And separating it from the tractor running full throttle. Open station, with the mower running behind it! You will not find this ANYWHERE ELSE on RUclips! I know of no one else using the quality of mic/audio setup that we are using.

Great video,like your channel and the showing of the things a small tractors can do ,for years we dairy farm the a Massey Ferguson 135 and it did everything,just wondering have you had any problems with the tractor running hot with that mower thanks
The 135 diesel is a small tractor with a big heart lol. I’ve got one myself and a bx2680
Yet another wonderful installment of Tractor Time With Tim!
Very nice mower but really hard for me to justify the cost. I only mow about 14 acres with my brush mower.
Hi Tim and christy I was wondering when you are going to use your new material collection system
I don’t have it anymore. They took it away abruptly and made me take down my last video with it.
All the work you do on the tractors you think they would appreciate you more
I just bought one of there material collection systems
When are you going to fix your pond? Been waiting since you moved in
I know! We just have trouble getting around to it! Really needs to be fixed!!!
Tim,
Thanks for sharing. Kind of rough turf. How is your back? Looked like the field needs to be rolled with a 10 ton smooth roller.
Bill
Air ride seat…felt like riding on a cloud :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim
Yessir, shouldn’t air ride seats be mandated by local, county, state and federal regulations? Or just standard equipment in the J.D. lineup?
Bill
@@qfdforme ugh. Hard to even joke about more government regulation!
Cheese burger time got to go. Have a happy 4th guys.
I have been thinking of going up too the two series from my 1025r I just use it to mow my back yard with because it’s very hilly and a regular lawnmower doesn’t last are the two series worth the money to upgrade in your opinion my wife doesn’t want me to spend the money but I’m just so uncomfortable on my 1025 because I’m 6,7 and no room to move around
The 2032r/2038r is definitely worth it. Huge step up in comfort.
Get Rimguard, wheel spacers, and wheel weights. These will help you with both hillside stability AND ride quality.
@@TractorTimewithTim thank you
That mower is bigger than my current lawn! That is the problem! I need to get a bigger lawn! Then I could get a Rhino TS10 !!!
At retail that mowing project, rough and finish, might cost as much as the first semester of college for that grad!
Nice tractor
what do you think about the TS 10 with a JD 4600 hydro?
Would be fine. Should be a great combination!
Hope you and your family 👪 are doing great 👍, love the videos 📹, have a cheeseburger 🍔for me, god bless 🙌😊.
Looks good y’all
Just wait until next episode!!! Amazing transformation!
@@TractorTimewithTim could y’all use Vinny on that grass
Yea. Vinny’s tough cut would not have mulched the cuttings as much….but would have cut it cleanly.
Vinny’s finish mowers would work great in the condition we left the grass after this episode.
@Tim if only you had a cab on the tractor or a mid 17th century Australian ships raincoat ;)
Another GEART fun video, I think you found the right tractor for the job, what will it look like after the 12 foot finish mower has its day of cleaning up the leftovers, sounds like the next video... Have a great 4th of July... wave the flag on SUPER Johnny... THANKS... 🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🙂
Sounds like you need your Artillian cover over your rops with the fan. LOL
I was wondering why you took off your loader for this job?
Needed the canopy and fan, yes…but nice to be able to get under trees.
Much more maneuverable without the loader, and I needed the hydraulics to run one of the rear valves.
@@TractorTimewithTim I'm curious but does the 3R series offer OEM 3 rear remotes like the Grand L? To me they are very similar Tractors. We went with The Grand L primarily because our dealer had one available and we just waited a few months for the loader to come in. It would have been a longer wait for a JD or Kubota to have it all come in together. Just the way the world is now.
Yes, the 3R offers rear remotes. I have one… there are two more available. I did not get them because I want to show chase a Summit product…which I have not yet received.
The 3R is similar but physically smaller than the Grand L. Both are fabulous machines! I would say the 4060 and 4760 are more similar to the 4R in physical size…but likely not quite as capable. It is hard to do direct comparisons on these due to size differences.
@@TractorTimewithTim Yes that is why we went with the 3560 because it is only 5 feet wide like the 3R series. Basically, the Grand L gets about 6 inches wider as you go up on each model.
How many hours did it take to mow the entire 16acres if you don't mind me asking.
Hmm…not sure I timed it accurately, but somewhere around 3 hours. …and I’m not really sure I mowed 16 acres. I may have only mowed 8 or so.
I own a 3038e and mow a property once every 16 days using a 6ft 3pt rotary cutter, how do you think the 3038e will handle the TS10?
We show it on a 2038r which is identical drivetrain (engine/transmission). On level ground, you will be fine. Steep hills will be a challenge due to weight of the unit.
You need at least one rear hydraulic valve.
Worst case, you have an excuse upgrade to a 3046r or larger ;-)
Hmmm… I have been eyeballing the 4052m at the local dealer… Lol
@@RRWW8899 that’ll work! Go ahead and get 4066m!
Them batwing mowers aren't cheap for sure, runs about $17-20k it seems. But if you have large fields, it is the large tool for the job no doubt.
Here is one in the Northeast for $13,900. I would expect the Northeast to be the most expensive area.
Since they are made in Illinois, the shipping would be less near there.

Nice work as always Tim , As much advertising for John Deere tractors you guys do hopefully they will give a TTWT coupon on a new tractor 😁
Hey Tim: quick question, I was under the impression that the 3 series didn’t come with a removable bucket if ordered with one. Is that true? If so why did you purchase one with a bucket?
Oops without a bucket
Bill, the 3e is TOTALLY different than the 3R. 3e is about half as powerful, and yes, the 3e loader is not easily removable.
3R is a high end machine with easily removable loader, mid PTO, etc.
Deere made this confusing by calling both of them ‘3 series’. They are NOT EVEN CLOSE!
How many horsepower tractor do you need to run that mower
We have videos with it on our 2038r. 30 PTO hp. With that low hp, you will need hydrostatic so that you can vary speed.
Well I have a Massey Ferguson it’s a 2 605H But it’s gear driven not hydrostat
@@mitchellgourley4642 that will be plenty large enough. The TS10 will work great with the 2605h.
Hey Tim every time I brush all I always find yellow jackets and a hornet's nest do you have the same problem
Not every time, but I have encountered them.
I love my new equipment but I really love my antique equipment too
Hope they make some good money on selling the barn wood.
$18,000 brush hog! Wowzers
Really? I think it is $12,000 or so.
@@TractorTimewithTim really, $17,xxx.00 plus tax
That was just the first place I looked, I’m not sure if it can be had cheaper elsewhere or if it’s another victim of inflation
@@acerdale5099 interesting. I’ll check into it.
Here is a new one in the Northeast listed at $13,900. I would expect the northeast to be the most expensive area.

Your comment about an older tractor...Yes a 1960s tractor would do everything you do but without the comfort of hydrostatic drive and probably 4 wheel drive,
Oh and power steering. BUT.. it would be cheaper to run , use less fuel and no pigs pee !! and not rev its whatsists to give 540 rpm to the implement.
I d like to see you try out a BCS Invictus tractor or a Ferrari Cromo and an Antonio Carrera Tigere
Will you be paying for them because that's some expensive overseas stuff!
@@2naturesownplace They’re on par with what we pay for for Deere an Kubota here
And that batwing mower is around $26k
The TS10 is around $12,000 last I checked. Please don’t spread false info.
@@TractorTimewithTim it’s not false information.Tim this is what the prices are around my location .
I have 25 acres that I have to keep up and I think a flail mower is a lot better solution. This is big, bulky and hard to manuver around obstacles. The flail mower is small, nimble and can turn any size of grass into mulch instantly.
There are disadvantages to flails as well. We have a couple of them.
@@TractorTimewithTim Please share them.
Can’t mow as large of material.
Hammers will break if hit large rock (blades on brush hog will chip, but not nearly as much damage)
Flail must cut very low to do a good job…brush mower can cut higher (therefore more safely)
Flails more expensive to maintain….all those hammers to replace.
@@TractorTimewithTim I guess it depends on where you live. If you have a lot of rock on your property then a flail may not be the best choice of mower for your property.
Depends on many things. Unfortunately, no mower is perfect.
sum day I would like to see a video of u using the tractors and eatin one of those so called cheeseburgers u like to eat haha😅
Ok
Tim I could have used this when I cleaned up a local church where lawn wasn't cut all summer it was 4.5 acres of 3 ft tall grass I don't wana say how long it took me with 6 ft brush cutter 😅
I could have used it Tuesday when was mowing stuff like 5 foot high there was about 20-25 acres took me 12.5 hrs to do it all but all I had was a 1940 Ford 9n and 4 foot rotary cutter lol
@@jarrodp6068 that's a lot of fuel I thought I burned a lot of diesel at the church but I have a older ac d12 and that usto burn 2 gallons an hr when I cut with it
@@michaelparker5814 yeah I went through about 15 gallons of gas lol 😆
I won't complain about using 8 gallon of diesel then wow but those old tractors still work good just hungry I keep my d12 around for back up it my compact tractor goes down @@jarrodp6068
@@michaelparker5814 haha yeah they aren't the most fuel efficient but they keep on tractoring lol for a 82 yr old tractor she did really good
How do you like the 3046 Tim
Love it. Not perfect, but very nice.
they need to put 360 spindles like on a zero turn instead of being fixed. tell your wife to go to Duluth trading and get a sun hat. they make battery operated fans to stand by help with keeping cool and camera to. the fan is else where. Pedialyte for infants n kids has adult version in sport etc instead of diet soda. stay away from those and just water you need to put electrolytes back into your system. prevents cramps to heat strokes. then look at protein bars don’t eat large meals i’ve done that done bought that t-shirt your blah feeling. the cheese snacks with almonds cranberries chocolate not a dark chocolate fan unless it’s the better stuff. gatorade has snacks
no lush lawn.... maybe dont title it that if youre gonna have a 15 part-er n you dont show it in this video
only hearing loud "tractor" noises is a bit annoying.
good mics are v/ cheap
Would you like a refund?
I rewatched the video. It is clear you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
This microphone is capturing my voice And separating it from the tractor running full throttle. Open station, with the mower running behind it! You will not find this ANYWHERE ELSE on RUclips! I know of no one else using the quality of mic/audio setup that we are using.
@@RoscoeDaMule so you watch a tractor video then cry about hearing a tractor smh
