Read articles →This video follows Tim and his wife Christy on an actual paid tilling day with their John Deere 1025R, visiting multiple customer gardens. The distinctive angle is the small side-business framing: they walk through how they screen customers, price jobs, and build experience over time. Tractor operation is shown but lightly narrated; a bonus segment on flame weeding adds variety. Best for owners curious about running a small tilling service.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel where a couple documents real projects on their own subcompact tractor, with a family-friendly, hobbyist tone rather than a dealer or professional perspective.
Ask the garden size, its location, whether there is a fence, and if the area has ever been tilled before, since untilled soil takes longer.
Charge very little or nothing early on since your experience is low, and only raise prices once you understand what the market will bear.
No, flame weeding kills the above-ground portion and weed seeds by popping plant cells, but it does not kill the root system of established weeds.
Yes, many backyard fence gates are not wide enough for a 1025R to pass through, so checking fence width beforehand is important.
