Hey Tim just wanted to report another Johnny inspired Johnny here. Finally pulled the trigger on a new 1025r. Your comparison series between the 1025r and the bx2680 really helped me make a decision. Thanks!

I found over the years that my grass or whatever i am planting grows better /faster if I mixed the seed and fertilizer in the same hopper and spread at the same time. I always use 1 bag of seed to 1 bag of fertilizer. I fill my 500# spreader full mixing thoroughly every 2 bags I put in. I use the suggested planting rate by setting my hopper. Afterwards I pull a drag harrow over it covering it lightly. This works well for me. When I went on my first work day w a hunting club I had gotten in I was planting one of our green fields. One of the top guys of the club saw me mixing my seed and fertilizer in the same hopper and I thought he was going to have a heart attack as mad as he was. Told me I was wasting all the seed because the fertilizer would burn it up and it’d never grow and all that stuff wasn’t cheap. I explained but he didn’t buy it. I told him to let me do this one field like this and if it didn’t grow I’d pay for all the seed/fertilizer I used. Within a month it was a lush green field w no bare spots or thicker spots etc. Some of the other fields that had the fertilizer spread first then the seed spread after the fertilizer was either turned under or a drag pulled across it had barely germinated. Some had big bare spots where the seed didn’t get to and some spots where the seed was spread too much. Anyway, just thought I’d share my seeding experience w y’all to see if it differs from what y’all do When I first started planting green fields I had no idea what I was doing. But over the years I learned to spread as I explained and have never had a field not grow or have troubles like I used to.

That is a great idea Shawn, I"ve done it that way on the golf course for years. Some seed is too light to spread very well and the fertilizer makes it spread evenly.

I just got my 1025r this past Wednesday. Going to be a great addition to my small business to help it grow. 1 attachment I need is forks. Need to move my trailers around more easily then the Vehicles. Plus the 2inch Receiver would do the job. Forks is just the plus. I'll get the 36 inch because I watched your video. Better maneuverability in tight spaces is better for me also.

Thanks for showing the Gator accessories. I have an 835M 2019. I really love mine! We use Kentucky 31 here in Western North Carolina. I picked up a used aerator and fertilize spreader this winter so just starting to learn about better lawn care. I can see a big difference already.

@@TractorTimewithTim I'm surprised folks use KY31 anymore - for lawn seeding. It's a bunch type turf that will form large clumps of very wide bladed grass. There are many great new varieties of improved Tall Fescue for sale now that appear to be a lot like a perennial rye lawn with leaf blades that are near the width of desirable turf. I realize KY31 is much less expensive but also know the outcome down the road, not pleasant. To each his own.

I had a 3 point broadcast spreader that ran off the PTO. It was a metal cone about 3 feet tall with 4 inch horizontal bar agitator in the bottom with an adjustable gate below the agitator that dribbled fertilizer onto a spinner. There are a lot of these around. I bought fertilizer in a bulk spreader but needed to get between trees and apply in a large yard. I shut the gate but not the PTO going to another job 1/2 mile away. When I reopened the gate nothing happened as far as broadcasting fertilizer. What happened was the fertilizer liquified from the heat of the spinning agitator and then solidified in the bottom of the cone breaking the agitator off it's shaft. I had to drive around using a chicken feed scoop to empty out the fertilizer and "broadcasting" the fertilizer by hand ( it was basically full ). The bottom of the cone had 10 inches of solid rock-like fertilizer that took a hammer to break-up. So don't spin the agitator without the gate open. It was a complicated repair by a local welding shop.

you can't spread whats not in the hopper. Try one bag at what looks like correct gate setting and see how far it goes always better to start less than what you think and either open more or go slower. What you are asking for is a spreader that uses ground wheels to drive spinner but there is no reason an electronic sensor couldn't be designed with just a sensor wheel etc.

To each his own I find spring is not the time to seed or fertilize. Control weeds in spring and seed and fertilize in fall when the grass does not have to compete with weeds seems to net better results plus all that young tender grass in spring will need water during the hot summer where as fall the moisture is better retained in the soil.

Do you have a recommendation on a 3-pt fertilizer spreader for a 1025R? I'd like your thoughts on a PTO driven model vs 12V model. Have you done a comparison of spreaders on the market? I am currently pulling an Agri-Fab tow-behind spreader but it hits my 3-Pt Quicktach and is hard to turn on/off when turning. I'm considering a Fimco 12V model, but not sure if you or anyone has experience with these?

I treat lawns professionally. There exists a lot of nuance in saying that that the amount of fertilizer was "light". Generally a starter fertilizer will do 12k sf so thats 108k sf vs 127k sf area. So thats only light by roughly 15%
