Hey, my Name's Shane from SunSouth in Auburn, Alabama. Just talking today about some of the first tractor purchase that you may have to start off with. This is a three series tractor. This one's 25 horsepower at first. Tractors are intimidating, but don't let that scare you because it's a helping hand with everything that you do around the house. Anywhere from 1 acre to 20 acres that you got, this tractor will do the job for you. I'll go over a few things with you to show you how simple this tractor can be and the function that you can do with this tractor. So like I said, first is a 3025. It's a 25 horsepower tractor. And this is a loader. The loader will lift about 1250 pounds. And you can see the loader is adjustable. This one, we have a grapple on it. It can grab brush, it can grab debris, it can grab anything. And then it's got your bucket. You can also put different implements on there like pallet forks for all around experience on a helping hand around your land as well too. As for the tractor itself and driving is very simple. You put, you have a low gear and a high gear. Most of the time you'll use the low gear unless you're bush hogging a lot. Then there's the low gear here. And all you have to do is you got a hydrostatic transmission which is forward and reverse pedals. So once you step onto the, to the tractor and the very comfortable seat here, very nice steering wheel just right there in front of you. And when you push the pedal to go forward or backwards, then that's all you have to do. Your loader controls are here. You can work your grapple, you can work everything that you have with this one, the loader controls, easy implement hookup. And I'll show you some different implements in just a minute on how to hook those implements up. Just driving the tractor, just forward, reverse, low and high gear. And after that you just kind of get used to driving around on the, on the three series tractor. Okay, this is the rear of the tractor. I'll show you some implements in just a second. This is, this is called the draft links or the three point hitch. You have 1, 2, 3 points of connection on the tractor. So like a bush hog, a disc hara, a box blade, a land plane, any of those things that you can really put on the back of the tractor. It's pretty simple to hook up. So you have a draft control that's in the cab here that goes up and down and then you just hook your implement up to that, hook your three point up to it and then you can cut grass with it. You can disc hair, plow, whatever you want to do there. 540 PTO. So very simple to get in there if you do. It does have a drawbar if you want to haul a trailer around or something on the rear. Then you can put a hitch on the back and then just haul that around as well. Alright guys, this is one of the implements that goes on that 3025 tractor. 25 to 38 horsepower tractor. This is a five foot bush hog cutter. It'll cut about an inch and three quarter inch stuff. This is our most popular implement that goes on the tractor to cut your land, cut your acreage, cut brush down, anything like that. So it's got change for things being thrown out forward and backwards here. So it stops any debris from shooting out too, too far. So a very simple implement to hook up and, and run through your, through your pasture. Or if you want some thick stuff to cut, you can do that as well too. All right, so now we're on a tiller. Now this is really good for any gardening applications. If you're doing any groundwork to do sod, things like that to kind of change the texture of your, of your land, then you can till this up. Very good garden applications and stuff. You can do eight one acre gardens, half acre, whatever you want to do with this. But it drop into the ground probably 2 to 3 inches with if you can see the tines there. Those tines just drive into the ground making different rows and tilling up the ground. So this is more of our, Our next popular 3 point hitch item that you can have on the, on like a 3025 tractor up to a 30, 38 tractor. And this is a five foot Frontier RT 3062 tiller. All right. And this is the next most popular implement is a box blade. Very good for doing long driveways and scraping dirt on and filling holes up in different areas in your yard. So it's got a blade on the rear which takes the dirt and smooths it out. It also has the 5 foot tiller is very good on the 3 series tractor. It has 5 different tines that you can drop down to about 6 inches into the ground. So it will dig rows. And to break that ground up, if you got a little bit harder ground then you can break that up with those tines or they will lift up and get out of the way. So you can do scraping on the box blade. You can also push backwards. If you have dirt, you can push backwards. So this application for the box blade is multiple uses that you can. That you can have with this box blade.
