The Mini322 from Precision Manufacturing is a great grapple.
I have one mounted on my 2021 Bobcat CT2025 HST and am amazed at the amount of brush and logs that it will carry.
Thank you Tim for your videos. I viewed many to assist in my decision making. Will be ordering a Woodland Mills WC46 wood chipper next.
Consider the woodmax.
Hey Tim, been thinking of upgrading from my 1025 to a 2032/38 would my front loader attachments work on the 220r loader?
Yes.
@@TractorTimewithTim that'll help with the finance committee
You gotta love what these tractors can do. So versatile.
Thanks for sharing!
Another good example of what compact tractors can do. As you said, it is so satisfying to accomplish tasks with it, and realizing how much time and effort is saved. Even tho I’ve owned one for years, I still marvel at what can be done with them. Another reason that I really enjoy your videos. Blessings.
Hey Tim. Seems like the Mini322 comes out a lot more than the Artillian grapple these days. New favorite or some other reason? Maybe a head to head as I can see advantages to both?
It is new! Gotta show the new design!
Nice job. I’ve been doing quite a bit of this lately. Leveling out the ground afterwords almost becomes the bigger challenge, especially if the ground is soft
When you were tugging on the big tree and the tractor couldn't budge it, it looked to me like you could really bend and torque the loader to the side. I was glad to see nothing got bent. Great videos!
Won’t break/bend it like that!
Those grapples add so much more capabilities to a tractor!
Love,your videos. What precautions do you take to avoid puncturing the radiator?
Not enough. In discussions with a partner for a guard.
Tim needs a helmet to protect him from the ROP’s 😆 Love that Grapple!
Be careful Tim on such uneven terrain
Two years ago I added a JD 3rd function to my 1025R and got a grapple for it. How did I ever get along before. You need a bucket, you need a set of forks but the grapple is what I used the most. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Really impressive, Tim. That John Deere 2038R and grapple make a job that big go quickly. Not to mention the back and body pain it prevents. Thanks for another great video Tim and Christy.
Nice job. I love my grapple was a life changer . For me the whine isnt usually as pronounced when sitting on the tractor. and don't know if it's odd ,but I like the sound of the HST whine.
Another Great episode of Tractor Time With Tim
How much does that grapple Cost?
agfolks.com use code ttwt for a 5% discount.
I recommend the mini320 for a Deere 1,2, or 3e.
A grapple with a third function is on my wish list. Solid video as always.
The Westendorf Brush Crusher doesn't need a 3rd function. And there is an electric grapple by another manufacturer.
Neither of which (electric or BC) is a good compromise! Get the 3rd function and a REAL grapple!!!
The John Deere 3rd Function is the way to go
The AV-20 Frontier Grapple is a blast!
Same here

Hi Tim an Christie thanks for all your hard work have a day love from TEXAS
The roll bar head strike reminded me of what my grandfather used to say. First he’d say at least you did not hit anything important and then he would ask if I hurt the tractor. Is the 2038R ok?
💥 Great job filming Christy! Hope we see some antique tractors soon.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Looks like it passed the test! nice video!
Love the antique guys. Cracks me. That fella is funny. He very slow acting but very short to the point.. LOL . Love the antique tractors. Keep the great videos up Kristy and Tim.
You mentioned you had wheel spacers on Johnie 2. Which brand and how wide? Also are they aluminum or steel?
Not sure...dealer added them due to backhoe fitment issue. I think aluminum, and I think 2”
Little electric saw never gives up. Next clip gas saw starting..lol
Only because we needed a larger saw.
Most people now use two saws…small one because it is lighter and easier, then larger one for the big work.
@@TractorTimewithTim haha no electric saws are fine. Just ironically funny it was in the next frame. On another note I am looking at starting up a tree farm. I am unsure if you have had any experience with a tree planter attachment. But would you think the 2038R would get the job done? I value your opinion over the jd sales team.
Grapples work decent back grading to level off the work site area... hope your thinking cap is ok from the ROP's.
I'm sure you were using low range but seemed to lack power to free spin wheels. My 1026R can free spin wheels on pavement in 4WD as long as I use low range. Must be the torque requirements of the larger tires.
Tires filled with Rimguard. The extra weight dramatically improves traction.
@@TractorTimewithTim That explains it. Got to get me some.
Fun to see that little tractor pushed to it's limits. Amazingly capable!
Tim, may want to pin up the mid pto connection for the mower deck on this kind of terrain
Good morning! Happy Sunday to you and Christy
I am getting rid of my artillian grapple and am trying to choose between the 322 from PM or the Wicked 55 from EA. this is not an easy choice! The PM looks great with double lids. The one from EA seems to have lower tines that stick out a little further helpful for hand loading. Thank you for making this video Tim!
Double lids are great, and this extra wide opening is incredibly handy!
Why are you getting rid of the Artillian grapple?
@@stevethiel5838 I’m just not happy with it, and the system in general. Mine is configured as Rake Grapple Rake and I need more lid. To add the second lid is crazy $ plus the hooky 6 hose valve thing to mount on the loader. I’m going to sell it once my new grapple arrives. I am trying to decide between the PM322 and EA wicked 55. I think the artillian system is best suited for those who have SCUT and don’t have SSQA.
You keep teasing me with all of this grapple work! Meanwhile, I am patiently awaiting the release of the grapple switch add on kit for the Summit rear hydraulic solution. ;)
Getting close!
Good day friends - enjoyed watching you all get the job done.
Are you saying that little Stihl battery chainsaw does not have a safety interlock on the trigger? I have two different brands of battery chainsaws and they both have a safety interlock, making it impossible to "accidentally" run the saw.
Yes, it does...just makes me a bit nervous.
Did you bend that grapple doing that? Not even a little?
Nope!
Hey tim..got 95 hours on my 2020 1025r..my throttle lever won't stay up where put it..I used my brush hog and later belly mower and RPMS would not stay up do you have a video on how to tighten or adjust lever?
No video, but should be easy. Take the right side panel off..that should get you close...
John deere tells me I have to tear into dash to adjust between steering wheel and throttle lever..it's under warranty so thanks anyway. .
Hello Tim and Kristy,
I always say it. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
What wireless mic do you use Tim? Sounds great!
Great video again Tim
Tim another great video. You should pin up the MMM PTO to protect it when driving over the logs
Persistence goes a long way!!!! Great video!
so the Whining on the tractor thats normal? When does the Whining become not normal? for instance when does it whine too much?
Always amazed at the size of the loads these tractors can handle.... Can’t wait to see that stump grinder in action!!!
Thank you for another great video.
Maybe I'm wrong but I find you where a little too aggressive with the tractor this time.
At 3:05, it seems you got lucky, a piece of wood snapped underneath the 2038r.
I also saw you where pushing towards the pile of sticks and pieces of wood like nothing, I'm just worry you might puncture something in the front of the tractor.
Again, thank you for share, nice grapple by the way.
Maybe so. You likely don’t notice, but I try to be pretty careful with the underbelly. I’m watching that pretty close.
...and as for the front, I have pretty good visibility to what is coming through the grapple.
Being aware is important. Unfortunately, you can’t ‘judge’ awareness by watching the video.
I can say confidently that I did no damage in this video.
@@TractorTimewithTim greatly appreciate the response.
And actually you are right, from the video I'm just looking at one particular angle at the time.
Not sure if you saw the piece of log that snapped underneath the tractor @ 3:05.
I have been a long follower and I want to say you work the equipment pretty hard, but never abuse it... At least from the viewer perspective... Is just that on this video, and from my humble perspective it looked like you where more aggressive than usual... But no worries I'm clear on the limited factor of the viewer's angle.
Thank you for this interaction
Yes, definitely aggressive. Johnny 2 really not big enough for what I was trying. No question.
Frankly, we believe this is part of why people watch us. We think they want to see the outside limits of what these machines can do.
At this point, due to the great sponsors that we have, we can afford it if something breaks.
@@TractorTimewithTim
Yes, you are correct, as I wrote earlier
You work the the equipment pretty hard, but I don't see it as an abuse... Testing the limits maybe.
Thank you sir, I have learned allot with your videos.
They are also fun to watch.
I agree Tim moving a tree with the grapple is very satisfying work.
What was cracking at the end?
Not sure. We never really figured it out.
Great video Tim just thought I would tell you yesterday I bought my first STIHL chainsaw I got the MS 250 with a 18” bar you recommend them so highly so I bought one and it is a absolutely amazing saw I tried it out for the first time on some small trees in my back yard and when I was carrying them off to the back of my property I thought where is Tim and his grapple Lol 😂 so thank you for recommending a great product God bless you and your family Tim
Congratulations! Love the Stihl products!
Tim, do you have a problem with sticks getting jammed in the times?
Also, is that verse a dig at Aaron? Hahaha!
It appears your running e-throttel on,is that correct
Always run ethrottle, but keep throttle lever up to set a minimum throttle.
I wasn’t digging the E throttle in this episode.
It seems like the hyd drive on the 2038 doesn't pull the engine rpms down nearly as much as my 2032. Everything I read before I purchased said you would only notice the hp difference on the pto but from watching your videos I think the drive might benefit from the extra hp to.
Good video, I would've leveled that dirt field first to give you a smoother work area. Have a good day.
Fair enough. We weren’t there very long. Probably 30 min total!!
hope the guy you did this work for and his whole club see this i hope they have a safe year with theeir farming and club outings and shows
Tim, could you talk about or even demo a skip loader someday? I don’t know why but I find them interesting and wonder how they would or could complement a fleet.
Skid loader?
@@TractorTimewithTim nope, skip loader. It’s like a construction backhoe loader with a 3 pt hitch.
@@TractorTimewithTim The one I had was called a skip pan. It was a scoop on the three point hitch about the size of a wheel barrow. It's great for moving loose material but is far less sturdy than a front bucket.
That little Tractor did fine. Yes a Track Loader or bulldozer would have been much faster but then you got to have a massive Truck and Trailer to Transport it. It may take a little longer to do bigger jobs but the maneuverability of the smaller Tractor sure makes life easier in my view. I have the Titan Grapple and works great for me.
On another note I have a question. I need to create a swell about 8’ wide and about 25’ long for a customer this week for water 💦 drainage in his front yard. Should I take my Tiller and travel back and forth going the width and not the length direction then take my box scraper same direction and pull the dirt out to create the swell? Would that work? Water is getting in my clients basement from the front yard. He started digging with a shovel and gave it up quickly. Advice would be helpful. Thanks. Tim you’re a great American 🇺🇸. Mark.
Tiller going the length. 3 tiller widths wide. Then loader bucket (or box blade) to remove middle section to desired depth...then till on the slope to angle in the banks.
Do all of this lengthwise.
We have an older episode doing exactly that. Title “Swell Swale”
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks much I appreciate it.
@@TractorTimewithTim just watched this Tim. Fantastic. I told my client $1,700 and he didn’t bat an eye. My project will not be nearly as long as the swell you created. Thanks.
Good morning everybody!
Tim you always make short work of with tractor and chain saw
God Bless All
PaK
What tractor club is it, and I’m assuming they have a show?
Boone county antique tractor club (or similar name). You can find them on Facebook.
Usually show at the county fair.
@@TractorTimewithTim thank you sir!
From Star Trek - more power Scotty. That’s all she got captain
I've made enough tilling gardens to pick up the 3rd function kit, still working on getting approval from the finance committee to order a grapple too. It'd be great if one could try out a couple grapples to get a feel for thr pros and cons before pulling the trigger.
I might know someone ...
I'm looking forward to that upcoming video.
It seems as though you keep the tractor in high range on most of the videos where I would have put it in mid or low to push that tree out of the way.
Ps great job for not ramming that trunk to get it to roll over.
Low range, Pat. Not high range. We are not amateurs.
Sadly, "low range" ain't as low as it used to be.
Keep em coming. Like comment and subscribe
8:16 “I don’t think so Tim”
You should demo the Stihl GTA 26 Battery Garden Pruner "chainsaw"
It's surprising what you can cut with it.
Yeah 2 out of four wheels out of the ground and i am not feeling tipsy either...lol. well if the grinder would have been lower could it have dug in to the ground as you went bobbing along the bumpy field? Also might want to tie a pillow to the sides of the ROPS? 🤪
Its only interesting to see what subcompact tractors can do, dont forget what made you popular in the beginning
So... Did he call and say: "Hey Tim, I've got a problem here I think you should grapple with."?
Wish you would test a Branson 2610h or even better a Branson 2515h. 2200 lb lift capacity.
But the tree is rotten not much weight .
John Deere bulldozer!
The John Deere did a good job with the tree and it lived up to it's name.
Never buy a used tractor from this guy. He might have a chainsaw in good shape he can sell you.
Tim, I hate to point it out but, couldn't you smooth a path out so, it would go a little easier to drive on? JMHO
It woulda taken quite a lot of time.
Now you need to get one with around a 100 hp that ones is not quite big enough
Give that tractor a little more throttle. I'm usually 2k minimum when doing loader work.
Where is your hard hat Tim
You talk a lot about the duel lid grapples on your channel but I would like to see use a single lid grapple to give a actual comparison
I had a single clamp Precision grapple around here last season, didn't even get it out. I think they have quit marketing it. Double clamp is far superior.
I HAVE used the Artillian in the 'single clamp' configuration. Much less effective. I love both the Artillian and Precision double clamp style.
I think alot of whine produced by by low engine rpm
I just got done burning a very big pile of trees that were cut a year ago burned for 3 days I sure would like a grapple but can not Justify the cost my finance committee is not as generous as yours
