Read articles →A casual garden-day video where Tim tills his plot with a 1025R and four-foot gear-drive tiller, then plants two sweet corn hybrids using a single-row unit pulled from a John Deere 7000-series planter. Along the way he shares tiller-selection criteria (gear-drive, slip clutch, forward rotation, six tines) and seed sourcing. Light on hard numbers; heavy on family banter. Best for 1025R owners curious about garden tilling routines or hobby sweet corn planting.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor lifestyle content, self-described as entertaining rather than expert-level, so expect a relaxed hobbyist perspective rather than technical depth.
He recommends a gear-drive tiller (not chain-drive), with a slip clutch on the PTO shaft, quick hitch compatible, six tines per spindle, and forward rotation.
In testing across four soil conditions, forward rotation won three and tied one. It hops over rocks and pushes trash out the rear instead of repeatedly hitting rocks.
He plants two hybrids, Anthem XRII and SV9010SA, both super sweet varieties and Roundup Ready, sourced from For The Grower dot com.
