It's a grapple, it's a snow pusher, it's a landscape rake, it's everything !! You keep putting out informative and enjoyable content with just the right amount of salesmanship. Keep up the good work.
Ha! A snow pusher...who knew? 😂 Thanks for watching!
Even the least convenient option with levers to control the grapple opening and closing is much more convenient than having to pull, push and pick up stuff by hand.
Courtney, you're so right, new Kioti NS 6010 HST with 3rd function on the way, need a grapple for brush and logs for it but totally confused so defaulted to you rather than the salesman at the dealership.
Hey Courtney, just want to put out there. I’m not a person who like to buy things off line. But I do want to tell people you are a super person to deal with . You listing to what I needed gave me a good price and got it ship right away to me. I won’t not hesitate to buy from you again. Thank again Phil.
Thanks so much Phil, I really appreciate you taking the time! Have a great day!
I ordered the summit kit the day your install video came out. I was informed after ordering that the kit for the 1025r is now on back order. When I called summit, the guy said "ever since that GWT video came out, we have been bombarded with orders. But we are going to try and get them out by the end of next week". It just goes to show you the power of your TH-cam channel. Thanks for making these videos.
Wow, that's cool! Good and bad, but happy to work with a good company making a quality product at an affordable price! Thanks for watching and have fun with your diverter!
Brushcrusher on my 3025e. I’ve added some gussets and braces. Moving huge rocks and brush and tree logs are no problem. No extra fittings and headaches.
Yep super simple
I love the look of the summit diverter kit joystick handle. looks very functional and comfortable for the operator
Yes, it is really comfortable actually. Thanks for watching!
Wow- what a selection. I did not realize how many choices were available,. Looks like I'm gonna need to study our needs a little closer..
No doubt, so many options and setups out there. Have a great weekend Belinda!
Thanks for the great rundown on grapples & the additional requirements ($$) to run them.
Great video. That reinforced the decision I made last year for my grapple.
Although I did make one modification by welding some expanded mesh to the bottom "forks" of mine to help catch some of the smaller twigs, leaves and other trash. That reduced the amount of stuff I had to move by hand afterwards during clean up.
Yeah, thought about some sort of mesh or even a solid scraping blade to bolt or clamp on.
Great video Courtney. Thanks for being so informative!!
I wish I had known all of this before I bought my BC-4215 (from GWT, of course!), but I'd probably still have gone in the same direction, because I'm cheap -- lol!
I do like the BrushCrusher, but I wish I could get the bottom teeth vertical (or even close) at about 3+ feet off of the ground. It's hard to drop my load into a big pile (no double entendre intended, I swear!!!) the way it is. Other than that though, the BrushCrusher is doing what I need it to do pretty well!
Haha yeah limitations, but works well overall!
Great info, wish we guys as enthusiastic and knowledgeable as you at tractor shops in the UK 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
I didn't think I'd like a diverter but it came on my tractor and having put 30 hrs or so on it now I can say it works great there is a very slight delay as it engages (could just be the diverter I have) but once U expect that it works flawlessly.if I had the curl and roll at the same time I admit it would be slightly more effective and efficient having had experience in skid steers and other 3rd function capable machines in my past. Personally with my experience if I was full time contracting on my tractor I'd get a full 3rd function but for anyone else I would strongly recommend the diverter as a great option
Thanks so much for sharing your experience Ricky!
A very thorough and informative post. Well done!👍👍👍
Ultimate grapple guide indeed. Wonderful video good sir as always. There are so many choices, which is wonderful, but as you showed important questions need to be answered first before choosing one. 🙂
Haha, yes indeed. Can be a complex process!
So interesting! Every video you're publishing is very instructive and I would have never thought I would have learnt so many technical, commercial and safety information. Lucky to have such a large choice of equipment in the US, I'm leaving in France and let's say that the market and aftermarket for such compact tractors is not so developed: we are missing a lot of equipment and we shall stick to a very limited number of attachments and also advices from the sellers. Let's take box blades for example: many sellers I contacted never heard about it, and none of them have taken my request as serious : the only answer is... 'Don't know what you're speaking about.... (show them what it looks like) Oh, this is it... Not available! Bye...'. I'm then currently contemplating the opportunity to import some of the US available attachments to France.
I guess I never realized how good we have it over here. Thanks for sharing and hopefully more products are offered your way soon!
I had the dealer add the JD 3rd function kit to my 2025R before I took delivery. $1800 but there were some overall discounts. JD was just starting to ship the kits and It was the first one my dealer had installed. Actually it was 2 kits. 1 for the loader and 1 for the tractor. 14 and 32 page instructions. Dealer really botched the loader install. I took it back for them to correct. I have my fingers crossed that the tractor side is correct. I can see all the screws for connectors under the floor board were not used.
I have used it for angling on the loader mounted snow plow. My next purchase may be a grapple.
Man, that's expensive. I have seen a dealer take apart a 1025r to install that 3rd function. A crazy amount of labor involved. The tech also didn't seem to be enjoying himself, haha.
A third function hydraulic circuit should be installed at the factory when the tractor is being assembled.
Thanks for the info My Summitt Diverter will arrive Monday for my 1025R Ordered right after your video. Now I am starting to shop for grapples. I am looking real close at the Artillian I like the modular approach because i keep everything in a two car garage, but the cost is a bit prohibitive
You are lucky, I ordered my diverter kit later that night and mine is on back order. No big deal though. As far as grapples, I went through the same thought process as you. I loved the artillian, but it was not in the budget. Luckily, my JD dealer had a frontier AV20F in stock that he sold me for 1375 and picked it up that day. Although I can't use it yet, I like the looks of it and think it will do what I want it to do.
It'll come soon enough. Crazy times we're living in. Demand is through the roof which kind of came out of nowhere. Couple that with increased safety protocols, shortstaff for quarantines, and it's a perfect storm. Tough for manufacturer's right now. Thanks for following along!
Awesome, hope you enjoy it!
So many choices. Good job!
Thanks Tony!
Nicely done! Greatly appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!
Love the guitar riff!
🤣👍
Thanks for replying. Yes the supplier sent me a short hose on the grapple. The seller told me to go buy a longer hose and they would reimburse me if I send them a receipt. Do you think they will do that???
I couldn't really tell you. If they said they would reimburse you, then that's nice of them to do.
💥 That’s a whole lot of green 💵
*Keep on tractoring!*
Oh yeah, green tractor power...oh, money? You meant money! Yeah, that too!
Dont beat me up. first time buyer of 1025r. Anyone put a top grapple on s bucket with screw on pallet forks.....THANK YOU! !
I actually just talked to my local Deere dealer and it would be about 2k to install a true 3rd function on my 1025r. The kit is only 1200, and labor was 700ish.
Yikes!
@@GoodWorksTractors ya I know right! I like the summit diverter but I would like to keep it factory looking. All the diverter kits I've seen make the loader area a bit of a mess.
Yeah, I hear ya. But is the savings worth it?
Idk my dealer told them since I bought the tractor from them we maybe able to work a better deal out. I think it's worth goin to hear them out. But yes that's a huge $$$ difference
Always worth a listen.
Dirt Dog has good skid steer grapples. I have two of them.
Westendorf actually has a set of brush crushers for pin on type loaders. They are the bc-3000, bc-4000 and bc5000 westendorf brush crushers. I actually have a set of the bc-3000 if anyone is interested. CHEAP
Nice!
I bought a new Kubota lx2610 this year. The grapple has been my go to attachment! Use it all the time!
Very cool, that's a great machine!
I had the third fuction added when I ordered my 1025r this week. hope it wasn't a waste of 1500 but we will see
Get a grapple and you’ll never look back
@@bodgaard which one should I get to many choices
48” root rake. I have a land pride on my Kubota. Works very well. Not sure if they make one for JD, but theirs the Wicked brand that looks like it works good on the video’s.
I’d go with the hydraulic unit. Get your tractor set up from the get-go then you’ll always have that function
@@bodgaard I have the load and go and also third fuction dealer installed but thanks I will check it out
@Danny Allen did you get your 1025R yet? Im curious if the dealer installed 3rd function includes a joystick knob with a button built in.
Great video, very informative, I noticed you covered all the tractors but never went to the 5 series on any of your talking points or descriptions........do you not carry 5 series components or why was that?? I have a JD 5065E, 2009, need a third function switch added, and a big grapple, also want a 3-point quick disconnect. Can you help me out? Thanks!!
I have a JD 5055e with a 520m front end loader. There is a quick attach but I don't know if I need a diverter kit/3rd function kit. The 520 says it has 3rd function standard, but I thought I would ask if that was what I needed.
Is it a single push on single push off on the joystick or do you have to hold the button down for the third function to work?
Good question. You need to hold the button on most setups.
Great overview!
Thanks for watching!
@@GoodWorksTractors Always a pleasure - I need to get a price from you on a flail mower. No hurry (haven't ordered the tractor yet). I assume your email is on your website.
Definitely, right on there. Have a great weekend!
@@GoodWorksTractors Done - No hurry on your end.
Question. From what I gather, you must keep the button pushed in to keep the grapple closed. Is that correct? If so, isn't that difficult to do if you need to move your brush a decent distance? Am I misreading that?
No, it will stay in the position you leave it. No need to constantly hold.
Hello I really enjoy your channel, it is very informative. Precision Industries has a new mini-pallet fork grapple that attaches to a class 2 pallet fork frames. Will you be reviewing this item? What are your thoughts on using pallet forks with a grapple attachment ?
Not familiar with that product. Good idea though.
Where are you guys located I've got a 6115d John Deere I want to put a grapple on badly any input would be greatly appreciated thank you
Recommendation for a 2019 3025e?
Newbie question, what is the difference between the root and the rake grabble? It looks like maybe the number of teeth and the length/curl of the teeth?
I have a 1 series JD with the 120R msl. Will the mechanical self leveler loader effect the Brush Crusher grapple operation?
I don't know if I missed it or not, but would having a backhoe make it so you can use those hydraulics as the 3rd function take off? Would you just need a control stick put in place for it? That seemed like what you had going on on your 3 series with the level at the seat side.
Yeah, I thought about mentioning a kit to connect to your Power Beyond and includes a valve to control the 3rd function. However, I may make a separate video doing one of those installs in the future.
Does anybody know if they make a grapple big enough for a 2006 John Deere 4320?
Also I got another question does anybody know if they make a kit that I don't want use the diverter it. I'd like to have it on the joystick Torrington close it do they make a kit that does that for the 4320 2006 model John Deere I called Summit and they were real reluctant to tell me they could make something up like that? To fit my 2006 John Deere 4320
What would be a good grapple for a 5225 John Deere tractor
do you have a 1025r in stock with the loader and the mower deck if you do i might be interested
Yes sir, I just posted it. See this listing. www.goodworkstractors.com/product/john-deere-1025r-tractor-for-sale-buy-john-deere-1025r-tractor/
@@GoodWorksTractors omg its perfect thank you i will think about it
I'd be interested to know if that Summit kit for the 1025 could be used on a JD 3203 ??
It could but, you'd have to get longer hoses fabricated and possibly make some other modifications for mounting the valve body. Why not contact summit-hydraulics.com and ask them. They make other kits too. Tell them GWT sent you.
@@flick22601 thanks for the tip...I figured there would be some alterations needed.
Summit might have a kit for that series. Many of their kits don't include hoses, so always verify with them. They are starting to custom make kits, like the 1025r, but that's a slow roll out. One model at a time. You can always get hoses made up at a local shop. The kit is the important part to get right.
What is the mini grapple you show on the 1025R? I didn't catch the brand/type. Thanks! Love your channel!
Worksaver Mini! www.goodworkstractors.com/product/worksaver-scg-48jd-mini-tine-grapple-for-john-deere-quick-attach-loaders/ Thanks for watching :)
Less expensive option... not cheaper :)
Haha, touché
Can't I use the hoses from my backhoe attachment when not in use to run a grapple
Can you talk about 4 way buckets on tractors.
Yes, at some point. Thanks for watching!
That Tar River grapple, would it be good for cleaning up a straw manure pack?
Don't think it would be the best tool
we move horse hay/ manure, Found an L style round tine (replaceable tines) works well - it is just like an oversize pitch fork for a tractor,
The GWT code did not work for me
Hello GWT
I JUST GOT A 60” titan root grapple for my jd3520 and the hydraulic hose is too short to reach the back of the tractor to the sockets. And it weighs 924lbs. What would you suggest I do ? Wish I had seen this video before buying it!
go get a new hose made. you could get an extension piece but thats just another place to leak. unless you are saying the mfg sent you too short of a hose then call them and ask them to send a new one. warranty issue.
Getting longer hoses is pretty common and your local JD dealer should be able to do that for you. However, not much you can do about the weight of the grapple. It is unfortunately very heavy for your tractor. Perhaps you could return or sell off without losing much? I'd typically recommend a grapple within the 300-450 lb range for your tractor.
What works best with a jd 2038r?
How much is it just for the electrical and pump and ram
Any plans of posting videos on rumble?
I've never heard of it. Maybe?
Does $3,000 sound like a reasonable cost to add a 3rd function kit to a 5075E?
quick question do you sell big tool racks
Yes I do
@@GoodWorksTractors k thank you
Great videos how far you ship?

Do you know if summit has a compatible kit to add a third function for Ventrac or Steiner tractors? Unfortunately, we have so many hills in our area that only these two type of tractors can handle the slopes. Event track dealer told me that they could add the additional hoses for the front for around $500. However, I was thinking about getting an older model since they are so durable of a tractor, but I need the third function in order to have their grapple that goes on their power bucket.
Hi Jim,
I wouldn't be surprised if they have a way to make it work. However, you'll need to talk to them directly so they can point you in the right direction. Best of luck!
How come we never see the Branch manager grapple / BMG style GRAPPLES that are used by tree service companies on small 20 to 25 hp articulated mini wheel loaders or stand on mini skiddsteer loaders?
Not sure what that is, but my guess is they're too heavy?
th-cam.com/video/wyGWvuoaesY/w-d-xo.html
I see them being used with mini skiddsteer, skidsteer, & articulated wheel loaders but have yet to see a branch manager type grapple with a compact tractor.
Honestly, it doesn't take very much to run a hydraulic line to the manifold assembly
Sure, if you're mechanically inclined. The same way a computer programmer says it's honestly not hard to create that TH-cam algorithm suggesting the next videos you watch! 😂😂
That's the benefit to being mechanically gifted... take the tech boys 💰 money hand over fist. I assembled my first computer at age 6 (nothing to it back in 94'), small block chevy by 9 lol
Some guys can do it all
Your new attachments look pretty good! What else ya working on?
New look???
My hair will grow back, haha.
I am always amazed at the thumbs down people. What kind of mental deformity is it that drives one to thumb down a great informative video, one such as this. That is some weird psychology going on there.
Haha, fortunately the thumbs up drown out the small handful of downers. I appreciate your support! Have a great day!
Cannot expand the screen so you lost me immediately
Kubotas put the rest of them to shame
I appreciate your loyalty.
You gonna show us that massive 5 series grapple and not crush something??? Come in man 🤣 make some toothpick from a pallet or something?
Haha, yeah I've got some plans for that sucker. :)
Hair and cleaned shaved makes you look very young I think you need to go back to the older look!!
Don't we all want to be younger?
@@GoodWorksTractors i own a tree farm and co-own a saw mill, but my main source of income is securities litigation consulting. Being in my 40s I try to have at least three months beard growth and two weeks hair growth before a major case. Eventhough those involved can guess your age based on your CV, they take you more seriously looking 50ish with a "salt and pepper" beard and hair vs 30ish, clean shaven with hair short enough to not show greys.
Great video!!
