It looks beautiful by itself at night. Nothing else needed. Well done! I have a small plaque on my wall that says "God never leaves us we simply forget to invite him along for the ride". On a different subject. We now have 4' of lake effect snow in Erie County PA and another 2' possible by Tuesday. Thankful for my 2025R. It's been a back saver.
Thanks for spreading THE message. We laid to rest a good and Godly man today. A friend for over 19 years. His suffering is over. I look forward to seeing him again some day.
Tim, I see you wanted the loose soil for back filling in this case... But when that isn't required, a bucket of water added to the loose soil when you get to your desired depth makes for very easy cleaning of the hole with the auger. We have had a lot of success with this method on construction sites in the past!
Tis the reason for the season. Thanks for planting the cross and hopefully some seeds to the true message of Christmas, the good news, and of the gospel.
Love seeing you help out the neighbors!! Your videos have helped me realize I can help out others too! Merry Christmas and the cross makes for a wonderful message during this time of year!!
Looks awesome lit up, thank you for sharing the meaning of the cross, if this one video helps bring someone to Christ then it is well worth your hard work 👍.
Wow what a beautiful message Tim. It's good to be reminded every day of the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Nobody can really understand the suffering He went through to save us. Which really shows the love our Heavenly Father has for us. Thanks for sharing.
I go to estate sales where people collect all types of things. They all have one thing in common, they didn't take it with em. What they took with them is their faith and what they did for others. When you're helping folks you're really helping yourself even if that isn't the goal. You guys keep being good neighbors... and use a 3 point post hole digger next time that was embarrassing. 😂
Hint. When I erected my huge 32 house martin pole into the ground (by myself), I mounted two Edge Tamers onto my bucket far enough apart that the birdhouse pole barely fit between them I then strapped a chain in front of the pole and attached both ends to the welded on hooks on each end of the top of my bucket. In this way, the pole couldn't slide sideways or topple forward as I guided it onto its mounting stake. Very stable if you're working alone (or with someone). This method worked great.
Tim it might be time to add a skid steer loader with high flow for Christmas maybe a john Deere 333-p with high flow hydraulics. Thanks for spreading the word of jesus Christ our lord and savior. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
We didn’t have the appropriate size. On the other hand, this made it much easier to stand it up. Worked better than expected. Just wish I had more hydraulics.
@@TractorTimewithTimTim , I have another set of tests for you. I recently bought a new implement that my tractor could pick up but I had to take the load down hill and found out I could not "curl" the forks back. Tying it with rope made it safe but I would have preferred to just tip it back. Never seen information on that ability. 😊
@@brianhillis3701yep. Wry difficult to do helpful testing on curl…especially with pallet fork loads. We have shown in prior videos that horizontal distance from back of forks makes enormous difference in weight you can curl. So, If load is way out front, you may not be able to curl, but if concentrated near rear of forks, you might be fine.
My property in Florida off to the side from the house had a section done up with a cross. They had put other large poles in the ground at a semi circle. The guys wife was from another country which we never met. At the closing nether one of them came. Also apparently they never put a change of address in with the mail. So anything that was addressed to him I sent it back to the post office. Then one day the old owner stopped by and he treated us badly for not keeping his mail. He just showed up and was out walking the property. I told him to leave which he finally did. I said to him you sold the place and you didn't bother coming to the closing, so leave.
while watching I was going to say you need to add solar powered lights......but nevermind TURNED OUT AWESOME!!! Brought tears to me when I saw it lite up. PRAISE THE LORD
You have to understand the fact that God himself in the flesh came down here . He was the only thing perfect enough to save us from our sins that are against him , the perfect being. It took a part of himself to fix the sins against him . Nothing could be even created to fill this task but himself . No other way could we become part of his family unless he cleansed us with his own blood, because he is perfect. Understanding the Trinity of God as one being but also 3 ( Father , Son, and Holy Spirit). Jesus Christ being the Word which is and always has been fully God came in the flesh as baby Jesus . The gift of life to the world lost in sin, who would accept him ,his gift on the cross by taking all of our sins. Taking those sins onto himself and then died for us on the cross so we could live.
You bring up an interesting point (although likely accidentally). Jesus had no need to die on the cross. He is perfect. Did not need to face death. Why then did he choose to do so?
Because Jesus being the second man Adam so Loved the world just as Adam in the garden back in Genesis Loved his wife and did not want to be separated from his wife, Jesus decided to go through the pain just as Adam being not deceived decided to eat of the tree, Jesus decided to drink of the cup and died for the remission of our sins. For LOVE❤ @@TractorTimewithTim
@@TractorTimewithTim The problem is I can't answer this without likely inventing several new heresies. Heresies in my experience tend to fall into two categories: God cannot do/is not X. Of course He can, he is omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient. He can do anything in all 3 forms. We can do (really anything). We cannot. You brought up and correctly rejected the Pelagian heresy specifically in the video. So then the question is "Why, if God can do anything was his solution so complex?" I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. That's a lot of work when He can just snap his fingers and say "sin doesn't exist anymore". Especially since, according to Revelations, that is essentially what is going to happen during the resurrection in Rev 21:9-27. I think you will need a better biblical scholar than I.
ALL are born Spiritually DEAD, Jesus assumed a human body at physical birth being spiritually ALIVE, He gave up that LIFE, when He gave up the ghost on the cross, He then picked up that LIFE at the Resurrection, detailed study proves that Eternal Life >> IS A PERSON > IS
I suppose it’s better than a gallows or a guillotine in the yard, but I consider Christmas a celebration of Christ’s birth and life, not His death. To each their own.
@@TractorTimewithTim 🔥 Thanks for your sharing, too many cowards that profess a technical but not a POSSESSION of the Risen Christ! Remember ONE thing, there was NOT ONE closet "Christian" that came out of the Upper room, when the Risen Christ sets up INTERNAL residence within a spiritually dead human then THEY & OTHERS will know it!
Thanks Tim for helping to spread the simple message of the Gospel. Merry Christmas

Nice project and an even more perfect message. Christmas is only significant with the cross and resurrection at Easter.
Tim, very nice project and an even nicer message. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks

I remember Tim’s first auger experience. :)
Hence the reason we are not using the 3 point auger :-)

Merry Christmas to you and thank you so much!!
Amen Tim! Merry Christmas to you and Christy!
Thank you for such a strong message, Merry Christmas
Rex seems to be a very smart man.
Yep. Wonderful neighbor!
Great project and even better message!!! Great job
Powerful show thank you!
Thank you so much Tim for speaking the truth of the gospel. It was a blessing to listen to it.
Great way to start the season love how you and your neighbors always help each other out
Wow. A rare episode where you see Tim with a shovel. I thought he was allergic ever since the heart trouble.
Beautiful illustration of the greatest love story ever told. Joy to the world our Savior Jesus is born! Merry Christmas!
Love seeing you help out the neighbors!! Your videos have helped me realize I can help out others too! Merry Christmas and the cross makes for a wonderful message during this time of year!!
Best video yet- thanks
Did you consider putting water in the hole it will make it easier to remove the powder dirt. Had to do that here in Texas with drought conditions
The dirt was working perfectly!

Great video!! God has a plan for you!
Despite the problems with the controls and visibility, it is a lot easier than digging such a hole by hand.
Thanks!
Scrap piece of plywood with a hole in the middle and a flat shovel makes quick work of the spoils.
Tim an older gentleman told me the Bible stood for basic instructions before leaving Earth always remember that from Gary amen
Tim this is what I needed today! Great job,n
Praise God! One of the best videos I've seen. It has tractors and Jesus!
Best video you ever did!. Sometimes the best ones are the simple ones
Hey Tim Have you ever considered Installing fence post Or planting large trees with that auger? Merry Christmas to the 3 of you.
Nicely done.
John 14:6 is the real message. Great Cross and reminder.
Happy First Sunday of Advent!

I like how the auger bit is tapered- is that a tree bit?
I dunno. It is a 2’ bit.
Well done and well said. Blessings.
Very GOOD.. 👍
Beautiful
Love this.
Praise God the grave couldn't hold him for he has risen Merry Christmas Tim
It's the reason for the season
Great stuff guy's
Good video
Amen 🙏
Beautiful cross. Great message for the time season. Jesus is the answer for eternal life. God bless
Amen!
Tim you should get a mount to use it on the mini excavator.
Yes, I think it would work better on the mini.

Didn’t have the right sized auger. Decided not to waste money to rent the right auger. Worked fine.
@@TractorTimewithTim I had the Same thoughts. Why such a large hole ?
Thanks Guys.....
I don't understand why you would put up a cross on Jesus birthday?
Good question.
Because the ultimate story is of his death and resurrection. Without the resurrection, he woulda been just another guy.
@@TractorTimewithTimthen wouldn’t that be Easter

Without birth there would be no death. It’s a loop. 😉. Like the carol says: “Joy to the world.” Not: “Here comes a death.”
