Overview

A light-hearted side-by-side pull test pitting a John Deere 1025R against a Honda Ridgeline pickup and a Gator using a Coons Engineering ATV chisel plow in a real garden. The video walks through the implement's shank and sweep configurations, top-link pitch adjustment, and traction limitations of each vehicle. Casual and comedic in tone, it offers genuine observations but little hard data, best for anyone curious whether a small ATV-rated chisel plow can work behind a sub-compact tractor.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, with a casual DIY perspective and no apparent commercial affiliation beyond a disclosed discount code for the implement shown.
