Build a MOUNTAIN ROAD from Scratch with Subcompact Tractor. IS TIM A BOX BLADE CONVERT??
Overview
Distinctive for being filmed on an actual mountainside road-building project abroad, this episode follows Tim switching mid-job from loader bucket to box blade on a John Deere 1025R, narrating his trial-and-error learning in real time. It shows scarifier technique, top-link adjustments, and slope/ditch thinking on steep terrain, though the conversation is loose and unscripted. Best for owners curious how a box blade performs on rough hillside grading with a subcompact.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel where Tim documents hands-on projects himself, openly admitting inexperience and learning as he goes rather than presenting expert instruction.
