Read articles →Part of an ongoing drainage and swale project, this episode picks up mid-job rather than starting fresh, Tim is troubleshooting low slope percentages with a laser-guided box blade, borrowing dirt with a disc, and comparing the 3520's performance against his 1025R for this workload. Technical depth is moderate; prior episodes carry more how-to detail. Best for viewers already following the series or curious about real-world grading challenges on nearly flat ground.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects around the creator's own property, with a casual, learn-as-you-go style and occasional sponsored product mentions.
Tim says the 3520 pulls the box blade much better than the 1025R, partly because it uses a bigger six-foot blade versus the 1025R's five-foot blade.
Tim says the disc does the digging much more easily, the bigger tractor isn't taxed by it, and his pull-type box blades don't have scarifiers anyway.
Tim estimates discing removes dirt in the two-inch range, maybe a little more or less, and typically takes two to three hours with a box blade afterward.
He found almost no slope, even a negative slope in one direction, meaning he had to fill about six inches over a large area instead of cutting dirt.
