EPIC FAIL?? How NOT to Plant Potatoes!

Operation25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A casual family garden session using a John Deere 1025R with a Heavy Hitch middle buster to trench potato rows and a hillier to cover them, not a how-to guide so much as an honest account of what went wrong (stabilizer chains loosened, trouble staying on the row, discs possibly too far apart). Good-natured and conversational; most useful to someone curious whether tractor-mounted Heavy Hitch implements are practical for small-scale potato planting.

Tractor Time with Tim is a family-run hobby-farming channel that includes a sponsored mention of Heavy Hitch with a discount code, suggesting an affiliate or sponsorship relationship with that brand.
