I Got the Cheapest Tractor Supply UTV. Now I Have to Work on it.

In this video, I tackle a crucial ritual on my budget beast, the Bighorn Timberland 450 LX – that all-important oil change. But as I pop the hood on this Tractor Supply steal, shadows of unexpected quirks emerge... Will it run smoother, or reveal hidden gremlins? Watch this video to uncover the oily secrets.

Here at Sabine River Valley we have always dreamed of leaving the rush of the city behind, and in 2023 we finally took the plunge into homesteading on a modest 20 acre farm in East Texas. New to the rural life, we’ve traded the big city for sprawling fields and tiresome commutes for seat time in the tractor. Farming is uncharted territory for us, and learning to plant crops and manage the land may be a steep climb, but we’re embracing it with grit and determination. For us, each sunrise now brings a mix of sore muscles and small victories, a family united by the raw, rewarding rhythm of our new life.

Major Issue With New Tractor Implements (How to Fix It)

Just got a new bush hog, tiller, or other implement, but it won't hook up properly or runs with vibrations on your tractor? The factory PTO shaft is often too long, leading to binding, safety risks, or equipment damage. In this easy DIY tutorial, I show you step-by-step how to measure, cut, and fit your PTO shaft to make it work perfectly—no pro tools or shop visits needed!

Can This Flail Mower REALLY Cut 6-Foot Tall Weeds? Or Is It All Hype?

In this video, I put my new Victory flail mower to the ultimate test: Can it really handle 6-foot tall grass and weeds, or is it just hype? I've heard the complaints—flail mowers bog down, clog up, and need multiple passes on super tall stuff. So, I took this beast into my overgrown jungle of a field and pushed it to the limits. Watch as I tackle dense, tangled weeds with the FMHD-86's heavy-duty 800g flails, hydraulic side shift, and 86-inch cutting width. Spoiler: There are surprises, tips for success, and honest results!

Frustrated with the John Deere 3038E's limited hydraulics? Absolutely! This pricey tractor lacks rear remotes—a must-have feature that's standard on many competitors. Building on our Power Beyond upgrade, I install Summit-Hydraulics' Rear Remote Kit to add versatile hydraulic connections for implements like top links and flail mowers. Watch the step-by-step install, get tips and tweaks for a smoother setup, and see why this should’ve been factory standard. Unlock your 3038E's full potential without breaking the bank!

John Deere 3038e FIXED! This Should’ve Been Standard

Frustrated with the John Deere 3038e? You bet! This tractor costs a fortune, yet it doesn’t come with Power Beyond—a feature standard on most brands today. In this video, I show you how I fixed this major oversight with a Power Beyond Kit from Summit-Hydraulics. Watch the install and find out why this upgrade should’ve been included from the factory. Save money and make your 3038e truly useful!

I Used The Most Controversial Tractor Implement

Join me as I test out the Victory BHX-8 3-point tractor backhoe, one of the most debated implements in the tractor world! Some say 3-point backhoes can damage you tractor, or even snap it in half. Skeptical but cautious, I tried it myself. Watch to find out what happened to my tractor, and if I made a major mistake.

In this video, I tackle the Victory BHX-8 Tractor Backhoe, a 3-point backhoe that’s sparked heated debates! Some swear it’ll snap your tractor in half, but are there any real examples of that happening? Or is it just tractor dealers pushing pricier OEM backhoes? Join me as I unbox and assemble this controversial implement to see if it’s a game-changer or a pricey gamble.

Well, this didn’t go as planned. I got a new implement expecting smooth sailing—but apparently, that was too much to ask. Is this a case of a weak tractor, bad engineering, or just me expecting too much? Watch and judge for yourself… or just skip to the comments and tell me I bought junk.
