Getting the tractor ready to dig some trench. Mounting the Backhoe attachment on the TYM 2515.

This was the first time installing the backhoe attachment on the tractor. I am getting the tractor ready to dig 130 feet of trench for solar power to the house.

    Might be worth investing in a dewalt 20v grease gun for your tractors, especially that you already have the batteries.

    My g-pa had a tractor and bailer which he was always greasing. I remember him using shop rags to wipe off the grease that oozed from joints. Sometimes he'd scoop grease off with a putty knife. He said removing the oozed grease kept the equipment clean. It was my job to carry extra shop rags and a coffee can that he dropped gooey rags into. I do remember him putting the greasy rags into his solvent parts cleaner. We had fun together.

    I would look at getting a rolling cart to have whatever tools I might need right at hand instead of having to go back and forth. Load up that cart with parts and tools for the job at hand. Just a tip. I use one anytime I'm working on anything thats not directly in the garage. Here's what I have. U.S. GENERAL 30 in. 5 Drawer Mechanics Cart, Slate Gray. I use for everything from gardening to working on vehicles.

    To get those tight grease fittings off the grease gun, angling the grease gun end that goes onto the grease nipple to a side and then pulling off should do the trick and make it come off easier.

    I own 3 tractors and a skid steer that require regular greasing. One tool that I bought that really makes that task a lot easier is a DeWalt 20V grease gun. I chose the DeWalt simply because I have several other tools that use the same battery.

    Hey Evan ,that "low-rider" backhoe undercarage just needs a 2"×2" piece of angle iron mounted directly to the frame to become a "Grader". These are such Great Tractors ( the TYM-BRANSON's) but this "low-rider" frame-support mechanism is TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. A Tractor NEEDS GROUND CLEARENCE; with this "System" it is TOTALLY HANDICAPPED! With the Kioti, LS-New-holland,some Mahindra's rigs, ( same size tractors) using this "silly-vacational-school" hop-cobbled system; and they break a lot! The "good news" is LS IS working on a "New-improved " system similar to the Kubota,Massey-Ferguson, & John-Deere "High& Tight" & GOOD-n-Rugged "stream-lined" positive mounting systems. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

    Evan Grease Fittings/Grease Zerks, it really does not matter much. But on your kit with all the extras in it, I would almost bet it is called Grease Fitting assortment, I have never bought a Zerk, they were always called Fittings. I believe the system could be called the Zerk system, as per the inventors name. But as I said does it matter much, not much in my opinion. Of course you could always call them a nipple. LOL

Speaking from experience. Best to bring in loads of clay and dirt and create a more gentle slope and get some equalization pushing against that steep grade
