Overview
This episode follows a family sweet corn planting session using a John Deere 1025R and a separate 2038R, covering tilling decisions (4-ft vs. 6-ft tiller, soil compaction), a one-row corn planter in operation with depth adjustment explained, and seed sourcing. It wraps with a stand inspection weeks later. Tractor buyers get little spec detail; gardeners and subcompact owners curious about row-crop attachments will find the most value.
Tractor Time with Tim is a family-run hobby-farm channel focused on compact tractors, presenting an owner's perspective rather than any dealership or manufacturer affiliation.
