I just bought a new 1025. I watch your videos all the time for pointers and advice. I ran across this video and I couldn’t believe a 1025 was capable of work like that. When I was in the Marine Corps I traveled to many places that resembled this area. I am thankful there are men like you and your team that can make life changing efforts for others in need. I’m proud of you all. May God bless and protect you.
Congratulations on the 1025r! Thanks very much for the kind words. Put lots of weight on your 1025r (Rimguard, wheel weights, rear ballast) and it will do amazing things!
Tim, thank you not only for spreading his word, but helping so many people, including myself!! The great you and your family does, is truly inspiring, not just for God, but for good, helping others, you and your family inspire me to be better, to help others! This world needs more like you! Thank you all so much.
My girlfriend is from Honduras and said my lil bx1880 or similiar tractors are called "Chapulín", which means "Grasshopper". Its my desire yo go to Hondyras with her one day and visit her bean and cattle farms.
Thanks for shining a light on the practical aspects of missions/missionary work. So often that's what's needed, far more than what people picture when they think of "missionaries".
Yep. Turns out to be a lot like any other business...with the exception of profits. These missions focus on trying to find employment for the people. Trying to find a way for them to be able to feed themselves. Unemployment is 40-50% in Honduras. Folks are willing to work, but cannot find anything. Drug usage is surprisingly low. This is because folks cannot afford drugs. Alcohol usage is higher, as cheap alcohol IS available. Without Christ, there really doesn't seem to be much hope. The positive part in Honduras is that the government has been stable enough to allow missions to slowly build out farms, clinics, etc where folks can work and help each other.
The little tractor might seem small to us, but it is HUGE for them. I have participated in different foreign missions over the years and it is so important to see what they actually need, vs what we think they need. Going there personally as you have is key in understanding the difference. God bless
working in the industries of where their needs are can't be blessed enough. having worked for a well drilling company it's nothing to drop in 1,000 wells a week with an old 1950's machine vs the 10-14 they were doing, and being able to teach them how to handle the machine and know theirs, and then the machines limits and abilities, the proper procedures and tricks of the trade, they have improved to 32 on their own, per week.
How rewarding to see Jorge and Jeffrey as they learn more uses for “Bombín” and see even more ways they can use it. They are willing learners and Tim is a wonderful teacher. Blessings to all as they continue the work of the mission.
Johnny 5 and Vinny would have a blast there. It’s cool seeing you going foreign. Love, love, love your channel as always!❤ When I was a kid my favorite hymn was Here I Am, Lord!
Tim and Christy, You are doing great work, as rewarding to donate your time for a great cause as getting paid back home. I,m sure you already know that. Thanks for this video , it is uplifting to view alongside you and your team.
Great video. Sometimes you just have to use what you have and not go to the barn and get Johnnie X. Hope you are having a safe and fun filled trip, looking forward to you next video. Peace
Thanks Rick. This is a series of 5 videos from Honduras. I think you will enjoy all of them. The last one was a livestream wheee we revisited the trip and got more details about the mission.
In that video you showed skills moving dirt that I wasn't sure you had. I live in the rocky foothills of N.C. parts of which resemble that Honduran terrain in your piece, and there is no way I would do on my land what you did with Johnny on that road. I'd have to throw my jeans away after I tried such a thing. You rule, dude!
whenever I'm trying to push, dig or bulldoze with my 1025r I try to have my heel on the differential lock. It is surprising how much it helps for such a small machine. Thanks for sharing Tim.
As you were making the hill a little less steep, in my experience that is one place the box blade shines. You can fill thr loader bucket, then drop the box blade and move earth about twice as fast. I also find it easier to get a smoother finish with the box. It was interesting to see the contrast between the guy who's put a couple hundred hours on the machine, vs. Tim, the master.
I hope they understood the importance or your massage to not load that trailer heavy on a downhill slope, I as a youngster learned the hard way being pushed down a steep slope over a bank in the trees until a big tree stopped me. Thanks for sharing.
A former Co worker goes with a group from the Church he attends to Honduras each summer to build houses. We are in Alabama The Church I attend sends a group to Guatemala to do work on what ever needs done and install water systems .
I like asked this, I looking for a cutter for a pond bank. Down farther than a sickle cutter can reach. 1025R is light weight for a heavy side cutter .
Finally got your hooks installed in episode #4. Needed them EVERY SINGLE DAY while we were there! boltonhooks.com use code ttwt for 5% off. Thanks for donating them!!!!
Ken, your generous donation of products is, and will continue to be, used and appreciated more than you know! Thanks and blessings to you and your family!
Yes. From my experience, this tractor can handle the treatment we gave it. Now, if you watch closely, we don’t ‘full speed RAM into stuff’. You might assert that we do, but we do not. …welcome to our channel!
Thanks for bringing me along on the trip. It seems 300 Honduran hours would be 3 million Carmel cul-de-sac hours. You’re such better people, than me. I get antsy going below the Mason Dixon line.
It’s difficult to image how, in 2023, selling coffee beans, that these folks are still so far behind and, dependent on that much help. Is it possible that so much help, keeps them from progressing on their own? Are they going to have the same “road” issues at the end of the next rain season? That hillside is NOT secure and it would stand to reason that if they don’t retain that head wall, the same situation will arise. I’m just still blown away that they are doing things the way that they are. Nice tractor work though Tim! I hope the best of their best, was paying attention. Are they following the recommended maintenance schedule? Are part’s available locally? Quite the undertaking!
I wish you could visit, and really see what is going on. Your ‘doubts’ about the country folks would be removed. The situation is complex. Very complex. But infrastructure help is definitely helpful.
Yea John Deere has never made a machine that lacked power. Most of the time a John Deere will work harder than the machine can handle. I always thought they made the best sounding diesel motors ever made. The bigger straight sixes in the bigger tractors and skidders.
@TractorTimewithTim maybe talk to the guys at black rifle coffee company about getting them in business together or to atleast take a look at their coffee product with some samples?
I took one mission trip 43 years ago to Mexico. We supported a missionary who lived in Brownsville, Texas who had a work 200 miles south of the border. A friend of my dad had a daughter who was nurse. She had married a French doctor who had a clinic in Haiti. My dad visited with his friend once and then my brother went down to fix the International Scout the friend's church had purchased for a local pastor. You are right about the locals needing training on machinery. The pastor had been told to not run four wheel drive over 30 mph. He though that meant if he could possible go 30 not use it. After my brother fixed it (he had broken a rear axle) they were driving back to the village. The road was filled with huge rocks, my brother told him to put it in four wheel drive. Then he said "No, I can go over 30", and proceed to go 35 bouncing from boulder to boulder with my brother screaming STOP STOP!! The Scout did not last long after that. We got him a new Toyota Hilux but it didn't last long either.
This is unbelievable Content! It always amazes me how still in certain parts of the world people are still living in what I consider the Stone Age. Or maybe I’m just too lazy to run a pickax like that😂
you said a couple times in this video that the 1025R wasn't the best tractor for clearing that road. assuming your only choice is the standard green line of John Deere tractors and not the yellow commercial road construction equipment, what would have been a better tractor to use on this job? I'm having a hard time deciding from this video. that's a pretty narrow, steep, and windy road.
We discussed that at length. I don’t think there is a better tractor choice. Everything else too big. Closest would be a 3R open station. It has tight turning radius
@@TractorTimewithTimYa I was impressed with how well the 1025R did on that job. Maybe the 2025R would have been better with the larger tires and more ground clearance, but it would definitely need the wheel spacers. Or perhaps that's one place where putting dual rear wheels on the 1025R would be highly useful.
I've wondered that to. About being hard on the tranny. I'm in the Appalachians and working on hills. U impressed me. I thought for sure u was gonna tip it at one point. Lol
Yes. Declining to name mfr since they refused to provide even one penny discount for the mission. Sorry. Please be patient. HeavyHitch.com will be introducing a wagon soon.
I wonder if John Deere would donate them a bigger tractor be cool to have y’all deliver it to them. I know it’d be a great tool that they desperately need.
What a blast, education, encouragement, and more.

Little tractors, building a better world, just with smaller bites. Another great episode. Thanks and God Bless.
Great video Tim, im subscribing. Felipe and Kenton seem like great guys! We need more people like you guys in this world
Welcome! Thanks for subscribing! Yes, Felipe and Kenton are awesome. Kenton is in several of our videos.
You're the real pro, Tim. I don't think anyone has more seat time on a 1025r and it shows.
You an your wife got a big heart 💗 for what for other people . God bless thanks from Gary
Absolutely fabulous content, Tim! Can't wait for episode 2!
How rewarding to see Jorge and Jeffrey as they learn more uses for “Bombín” and see even more ways they can use it. They are willing learners and Tim is a wonderful teacher. Blessings to all as they continue the work of the mission.
Did road repair for ministry with an orphanage, school and coffee farm about 10 years ago in Honduras. It’s a beautiful country.
This was great, amazing, fantastic, awesome to watch! I love this video, the commentary is great! Global impact!
I’m leaving for my first mission trip in a couple weeks. This defiantly inspires me to serve. God bless.
Where are you going?
@@TractorTimewithTim Kenya, the group my church works with is trying to buy a farm. I got volunteered because of my agronomic experience.
Johnny 5 and Vinny would have a blast there. It’s cool seeing you going foreign. Love, love, love your channel as always!❤
When I was a kid my favorite hymn was Here I Am, Lord!
Tim and Christy, You are doing great work, as rewarding to donate your time for a great cause as getting paid back home.
I,m sure you already know that.
Thanks for this video , it is uplifting to view alongside you and your team.
With that soil and landscape, I wouldn't doubt they are constantly repairing roadways. 1025r to the rescue.
Great video. Sometimes you just have to use what you have and not go to the barn and get Johnnie X. Hope you are having a safe and fun filled trip, looking forward to you next video. Peace
What a great episode showing off your skills Tim. Looking forward to a view of the rest of the farm and processes.
It's great that you're winning hearts and minds, Tim. Thanks. Thanks!
World traveler TTWT. Johnny works wonders no matter where he is. Great cause and sure nice of you to help.
You’re a good man Charlie Brown. God Bless you

This was great! As soon as I heard you mention Kenten, I was waiting to hear that laugh! So genuine and infectious!!
We have a whole week of it! Perhaps the most encouraging person I have ever met!
Thank you so much Rich, you are very kind. It is fun and interesting to work with Tim and Christy. They truly are great folks.
@@Kcolby47 I agree! Very cool what you guys are doing there. Can't wait to see more.
Speechless so nice and that little tractor is so much better than a pickaxe and a shovel nice job old boy.
Well done Tim! Thanks for sharing. The mighty mighty Johnny comes through again.
Better than a pickaxe! Nice work. (I'm slowly finding the Honduras videos from your search page)
whenever I'm trying to push, dig or bulldoze with my 1025r I try to have my heel on the differential lock. It is surprising how much it helps for such a small machine. Thanks for sharing Tim.
Loved the video, looking forward to the next one. My wife has been on a mission trip there. God bless
Very interesting to see how that 1025R could work in that teraine, I have a 1023E and it has been a workhorse for me. I love it!
As you were making the hill a little less steep, in my experience that is one place the box blade shines. You can fill thr loader bucket, then drop the box blade and move earth about twice as fast.
I also find it easier to get a smoother finish with the box.
It was interesting to see the contrast between the guy who's put a couple hundred hours on the machine, vs. Tim, the master.
Yep, box blade would have. been good here. We hadn't made it up the hill, where the box blade was located, yet.
Well done Tim and Crissy
that landscape there looks ...wow!:O it was great to see how hard you worked the 1025R, Noting Runs Like A Deere!!
Tim this is our favorite video ! Please up more about this mission. Our church sends a crew there every year.
Which church?
TIMM: The International Man of Machinery
I hope they understood the importance or your massage to not load that trailer heavy on a downhill slope, I as a youngster learned the hard way being pushed down a steep slope over a bank in the trees until a big tree stopped me. Thanks for sharing.

l have a same tractor as this one (1025R TLB),
and the way they ram this tractor, l see mine lasting 100 years !
Yes. From my experience, this tractor can handle the treatment we gave it.
Now, if you watch closely, we don’t ‘full speed RAM into stuff’. You might assert that we do, but we do not.
…welcome to our channel!
I'm wanting to buy a new tractor and every time I think the 1025r isn't big enough, I see these videos of what it's really capable of doing
Well, we push it hard.
You look like your having a good time with any Johnny tractor
I thoroughly enjoy working a Johnny!
Nice video Tim, wow you went a long way for that one.
Hey Tim, that is the exact place my nephew from Bloomington went last year
Cool! Sherwood Oaks?
Very cool. Great cause, thank you
Thanks for bringing me along on the trip. It seems 300 Honduran hours would be 3 million Carmel cul-de-sac hours. You’re such better people, than me. I get antsy going below the Mason Dixon line.
Find a good group to travel with. They provide the structure, and have the knowledge to get you through.
Great job helping them there!

There was some definite pucker factor in just watching you on that hillside. Yikes.
Not sure if you are aware but Sidenstrucker John Deere is using some of your video clips in thier open house commercial.
We will be there Saturday Feb 4! Hope to see you there!!
@@TractorTimewithTim I may have a photo shoot but if not i will try! Maybe i could get you to come till the motocross track lol ;)
@@TractorTimewithTim Will you be in waterloo il?
@@midcoasttractorservice9182 no. The event is in St Charles MO. …their FB page has details.
Tim I don't need to tell you but this was excellent in so many ways!
Great content let’s get started
Great job helping out! Keep it up!
Great work out there. Looking forward to the next one. Bombin!!
That little tractor needs more ballast. They can probably get by well with water in the tires in that area.
I think it has Rimguard.
This is unbelievable Content! It always amazes me how still in certain parts of the world people are still living in what I consider the Stone Age. Or maybe I’m just too lazy to run a pickax like that😂

Was there any bad weather down there? Still winter here..
No. Very pleasant. I got a sunburn.
Just curious...how is the availability of ulsd? If not available, how does it affect the engine?
Do not know details on this. Deere dealer said fuel there doesn’t work well with our DPF systems.
Outstanding!
Bless you all for doing that mission work. How much is it to ship a tractor there?
They shipped it in a container along with other stuff. Not sure how much it costs to ship a container.
I've wondered that to. About being hard on the tranny. I'm in the Appalachians and working on hills. U impressed me. I thought for sure u was gonna tip it at one point. Lol
Awesome
Be well be safe
Tim, the dump wagon is it made in the states?
Yes. Declining to name mfr since they refused to provide even one penny discount for the mission. Sorry.

Great video!
Great video tim
fantastic video and cause
Oh man what an amazing time
Hey Tim: Like I always say about being in shape....round is a shape. Great video as always. Take care.
Very nice video ❤
Thank you 🤗
I like how they all realized they were putting too much effort into swinging pick axes after Tim started driving the tractor.
Gr8 video! 👍
Curious how Johnny was shipped there?
In a container. We’ll put this on the discussion list for our live stream Tuesday Feb 7 at 7pm.
God bless you tim
Keep that engine air screen and filters clean!
Tim, put some of their coffee in your TTWT store.
it is available at HisEyesHonduras.com
Would tire chains be an asset for jonnie?...
I dunno. We had pretty good traction most of the time.
Awesome video Tim! Thanks for putting this up, very cool seeing this in another country. Do these guys do their own maintenance on the tractor?
Yes.
If you hadn't said that you were clearing the road, I would have thought that you were making one out of the jungle.
GREAT JOB.
Have little Johnny there and they're still using pickaxes 😂 don't know if I would ever go to Honduras on purpose.🤔
Considering only one person can use a tractor at a time what would you propose the other men do while it's being used ? Stand around and watch? Cmon
show em how its done Tim hehe
To give God the glory you can't go wrong and if you do pray for forgiveness and more guidance
I wonder if John Deere would donate them a bigger tractor be cool to have y’all deliver it to them. I know it’d be a great tool that they desperately need.
I talked with John Deere. They would not even help with our trip, connect us with the local dealer, etc. useless.
@@TractorTimewithTim that’s a shame they wouldn’t even help you just a little bit.
What does MFR mean?
Manufacturer
@@TractorTimewithTim Ok. My warped mind took it as MF-er. Which means something else. I have only seen MFG as manufacturer.
Ugh! You are probably right. I should have used MFG. Sorry!
@@TractorTimewithTim - no need to say sorry. I just thought you were really angry he didn’t give a discount.
Nope. Would NEVER say that phrase anyway…no matter how angry. …but I was not angry…just don’t see the need to promote their product.
