Pond Dig for Horses?

Implements & attachments25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

This episode follows Tim using a John Deere backhoe to excavate a horse-crossing pond, so the focus is a real working project rather than a feature walkthrough. It briefly covers backhoe digging technique, getting a tractor unstuck using the bucket, and grading with an MK Martin attachment. Light on specs but useful for owners curious how the 1025R handles sustained dirt-moving on uneven ground.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, explicitly not expert instruction, expect a casual, experiential tone rather than technical depth.
