Someone needs to buy a grease gun and some grease. That little tractor is screaming for some lubrication.

Hi Neil. When I am lifting heavy dirt/gravel the boxblade is a great counter weight, but I still hang 4 suitcase weights on the support of the boxblade. They will be sideways. Cheers

Nice to see you again it’s been a while though I have been watching some of your older ones. How’s your knee doing?

Hello. I noticed bolt-on- hooks on your loader. Do you like them? I also have a JD 2025R. I have just finished spreading 10 loads of gravel on my driveway extension. The tractor made the job much easier.

Can you share what kind of shed you have in the background? Thanks !

Do you have the top/tilt link or just the top link? Is it a John Deere part or after market?

Please grease that front end loader. It’s screaming for some lubricant.

Hey buddy if you have access use a compactor it will be like driving on the road

In the southeast we call that Crusher Run (or crushin’run). Pretty much every gravel road and decent driveway around here is made with it. When ordering a load if you mention you want a road base material, this is what you’ll get unless you specify you only want clean stone. Sounds like you might’ve missed a lower loader grease fitting. My grapple with squeak like that if I open it before I grease it.

Good morning Neil. Haven't seen you for awhile. I believe that you will love the crushed gravel. I'm not sure what kind of stone that is because of the color but it's limestone in our area. In the last week we've put down 6 tri-axle loads of it on our road coming into our property. Plus another one in our driveway. It will pack down like concrete. The plain stone will wash away in a hard rain, this will not. But it needs to be packed in well. We usually just drive over it several times for a day or two then normal wear and tear. After a rain or two you'll see more gravel on top and less of the fine stuff. The only thing that I use the loose gravel for is a french drain or to set a tractor attachment on so water can run under it and not sit in dirt. If you go over it several times with the box blade it will level out and look great as well as be strong. I'm not trying to tell you what to do or how to do it, I'm just letting you know what works well for me. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

love gearwrench hate the foam, all those sockets should be standing in 1 drawer organized btwn metric and sae stand the pliers up and tighten up the spaces a ton on the wrenches. The 27" has way too many skinny drawers so you have to lay the sockets down which takes up way too much space and look at the first drawer with the bit set and how spaced out the sockets are that are standing. Foam looks nice but it is the worst when boxes cost as much as they do.

Nice job

I live on lake winnipesaukee I can prove it the brods

Good morning Neil. I'm a day late watching this video. Yesterday was an early and long day. Myself, and a friend, his son, and a friend of his son's are working on putting gravel down on our quarter mile lane coming back into where we live. We still have 2 tri-axel loads coming on Monday morning. They hauled 4 in Yesterday. We're taking today off because of the rain. Anyway, so far it's looking pretty good. Also, DIY My Way did a video about a product called "Dexpan". It's used for breaking up big rocks. I personally haven't used it yet but it may be a big help with those 2 that you dug up. So, in the meantime God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

Those rocks got bigger and bigger as you dug. I was starting to think those 2 rocks might be 1 big rock! lol

Start making a farmers wall

Good video, I think a versatile tool. I use my backhoe for holding logs up to cut for firewood also. With that instead of bucket would be pretty good. You have to work around bucket sometimes to cut to size

You need to start a rock selling business. 😬

I could see a few uses other than stumps for it.

I usually start with the bucket and dig as close to the stump as I can, breaking all the little stuff and removing the dirt. When I come across a fat root that the bucket won’t break I move to a different spot and dig there. Then I’ll swap to the ripper and cut the fat roots. I usually go back to the bucket to pull the stump itself out of the hole. Bucket/thumb combo seems to give a better grip IMO. I don’t think there’s any ‘right’ way to do it, just whatever works best in the moment.

Good morning Neil. To me, I wouldn't be able in my head to justify the expense. Mainly because it would be silly to buy the ripper without the quick change bracket because it would take forever to change back and forth without it. Also, I really didn't see where it actually made taking out a stump any easier or much faster. Of course I wasn't there doing it and it's hard to tell watching a video. Anyway, God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

Looking good brother

That tractor is too young to have arthritis 😬

Easy enough. Can't wait for ripper video!

Now I have to go check mine ….😊

Don't even have a backhoe but enjoyed the way you presented the process. Would be pretty much the same for the loader pins.

Good morning Neil. I hope that I never have to do that on my tractor. Not because it's complicated but because I'm old and have arthritis pretty bad. 😁 Anyway, good job and I'm sure that this video has helped a lot of people. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

DO NOT BUY JD PARTS MADE IN CHINA!!!!! After a year parts are falling off due to not tightened right at the factory. JD uses Kubota tranny now. Height limiter on the 60" belly mower will wear out due to cheap extruded aluminum. My 2005 JD 2210 was built MUCH better and lasted 18 years. This one is a little over a year old and falling apart. JD does NOT care and will not warranty anything past 1 year.

I’d go under that pallet with the backhoe seat closest to the forks when moving it long distances. Should help stabilize the weight, especially when you tilt back a little.

When I installed my quick change and thumb from bxpanded I couldn’t get the factory spacers to fit. I just went to Lowe’s and bought some washers that were the same diameter, just thinner. It was a tight fit and struggle to install them, but I felt better having them installed. Also, the lynch pin on the removable pin will get damaged/lost using the ripper. Buy lots of spares or swap it out for a bolt/nut.

I wished I could afford a GEARWRENCH mod box it would be really really nice to have one with everything with it

I use GEARWRENCH on everything and I also don’t use anything but GEARWRENCH

Neat Video 😎

Nice. I built me one of those metal carts to roll around the concrete pad but I’m considering storing my backhoe in an area where it’s just dirt. You gave me some pretty good ideas on how to go about it. Keep up the good work.

Good afternoon Neil. I have a lot of suggestions about your backhoe storage. But I'll give you two quick ones. The pallet may not be quite long enough for the first one bit here goes. If you curl the bucket all the way in it can't leak off and collapse. The other is to raise the outriggers and strap them together so they also can't leak off while stored. But these are just suggestions and you need to make it stable for you, not me. I store mine in my garage and built my dolly on two Harbor Freight furniture dollies and two pieces of "×4". And a couple of short pieces of 4"×4". I have a 260 backhoe. It's made a little different than the 260b. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

Good Idea 👍👍

Good morning Neil. Sorry, I'm a day late. Due to circumstances beyond my control I couldn't finish watching the video yesterday. And I'll catch up with the new one a little later. I always liked the idea behind this product and I thought that I might like to get one even though I really don't need it for what I do around here. But after watching the video I don't know if I have enough time left on this earth to install it. 😀 I do however have the Bexpanded mechanical thumb and I love it. Just my 2 cents (or no sense for the day). God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

Great video. Question for ya? What size wheel spacer are you using. I have same tractor. I want to get some but I use 60in mmm. Thanks
