My Tractor Was Missing a Hydraulic Control

My tractor was missing a hydraulic control I needed for my implements, so I installed the optional third rear remote kit on my TYM T5075. In this video, I walk through the installation and show the new control lever and rear hydraulic connections.
If you’re considering adding another rear remote to your tractor, I hope this gives you a closer look at what’s involved.

Here at Sabine River Valley we have always dreamed of leaving the rush of the city behind, and in 2023 we finally took the plunge into homesteading on a modest 20 acre farm in East Texas. New to the rural life, we’ve traded the big city for sprawling fields and tiresome commutes for seat time in the tractor. Farming is uncharted territory for us, and learning to plant crops and manage the land may be a steep climb, but we’re embracing it with grit and determination. For us, each sunrise now brings a mix of sore muscles and small victories, a family united by the raw, rewarding rhythm of our new life.

How Farmers Are Fixing the Dumbest Decision Made by All Tractor Manufacturers

Most tractors give the operator no way to monitor hydraulic oil temperature, even though excessive heat and improper operating viscosity can cause accelerated wear and shorten the life of expensive hydraulic components.
In this video, I install a resistive oil temperature sensor and connect it to a Veratron VL Digital 52 monitor. The surprising part is that the sensor itself costs only about $10. After completing the installation, we put the tractor to work and see its hydraulic oil temperature displayed inside the cab for the first time.

The One Tractor Feature Every Owner Hates

There's one thing nearly every tractor owner complains about, regardless of brand, size, or price. It's a problem that's been around for years, and for some reason manufacturers still haven't fixed it.

In this video, I take on one of the most common frustrations tractor owners face and show what happens when it's finally addressed.

Have you dealt with this on your tractor? Let me know in the comments.

Add Tractor Rear Remotes: Quick, Easy, and Cheap.

n this video, I tackle a common problem many tractor owners eventually run into: not having enough hydraulic functions for the implements they want to use.
Adding more rear remotes can be expensive, and depending on the tractor, it may not be the most practical solution. So I decided to explore a different approach that expands hydraulic capability without making major changes to the tractor.
If you've ever wished your tractor had more hydraulic functions for attachments like hydraulic top links, side links, grapples, flail mowers, rear blades, or other hydraulic implements, this may be worth a look.

Why Farmers Are Removing Liquid Ballast

For years, liquid ballast has been one of the most common ways to add weight and stability to farm tractors. But lately, more and more farmers are starting to remove it… and there’s a reason why. In this video, I begin pulling Rim Guard out of the rear tires on my TYM T5075 and show the process, the mess, and some of the things tractor owners need to think about before doing it themselves. There are benefits to loaded tires, but there can also be tradeoffs that don’t get talked about very often. So why are some farmers deciding to take it out That’s what this video is about.

Here at Sabine River Valley we have always dreamed of leaving the rush of the city behind, and in 2023 we finally took the plunge into homesteading on a modest 20 acre farm in East Texas. New to the rural life, we’ve traded the big city for sprawling fields and tiresome commutes for seat time in the tractor.
