Hobby Farmer! Planting Sweet Corn

Operation25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A hobby-farm gardening episode rather than a tractor-focused review. It follows one man tilling, fertilizing, and planting sweet corn using a John Deere 1025R with a Munro Tough Line tiller and a repurposed row planter. Along the way it briefly compares the Munro tiller to a Keen Kutter model and explains planter population settings at 26,700 kernels per acre on 36-inch rows. Best for small-garden growers curious about the full planting workflow.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator hobbyist channel focused on compact tractors and family farm projects, self-described as non-expert but hands-on.
