I liked it! I like that it’s a little more informal. The real like little things that keeps ya going! Love the Chanel guys keep up the grate work! I’m looking at a 2018 Johnny now! Thanks!
Somehow I missed this video but have caught up now after watching episode 'zero' of the 2 series comparison, Haha. Definitely enjoyed the low key day in the life video style... it compliments the fancy videos that Kristy (spelling?) works so hard filming and editing. I've noticed that the video quality, editing and production has become really high class guys. Loving it all, please keep it coming!
Hi tim I’ve been watching your channel for over a year now thank you for the content in your videos because of them I just purchased my first 1025r can’t wait for the dealer to deliver thanks again Rob Gafner
I like these kind of videos. Kind of a throw back to your older videos when you would get a new piece of equipment and show us how to install it and what not. That, to me, is very valuable to see - the learning extends beyond knowing there is a new product to try, as I might be able to apply learnings from the install/fix to other tractor related activities. Thanks Tim and Christy!
I like that new grapple. looks strong but lite weight. I bet people will want to know exactly what it weighs. that can be a huge selling point. around 200lb is golden.
@@TractorTimewithTim ok thanks. my 209lb wicked 55 bent as well. not overly pleased with that purchase. cylinders leaking like a screen door also. live and learn. thanks for the reply.
Not sure how I missed this video, when it came out. I enjoyed it, can't wait to see them work!! btw, I have a woods one My brother and I, been talking about getting a top hydro link.
I like this kind of video too. Noticed when you went in the man door, it appears the tree beside it needs the branches trimmed back against the wall, I had a similar situation & with high winds it wore the finish of the metal wall.
Have you ever looked at wr longs diverter or third function as the call it. It is two buttons that you push instead of one and you don’t have to move the joystick to open or close the grapple
I loved it as this is the rel life thinks that have to happen. I don't agree that this won't stand the test of time. " I got a new grapple and have to figure out the hoses" will apply for years. How do I hook up my hyd top link will play for years. The part numbers may change but the process won't.
Tim, I love your channel. The thing that keeps me watching any channel is cleanliness, specificity and excellent video/audio quality. I don't watch the trash put out by Hollywood anymore b/c of the smart TV and channels like yours. I wish you would have explained the pipe dope you used a little better, I've always used Teflon tape b/c I didn't know it made a difference. Those details really help me make purchasing decisions. There are other channels devoted only to the shop stuff and I watch their channels. FYI: I bought a 1025R because of your comparison series. It was fair and informative. Keep up the good work. Keep the scriptures coming and I'm looking forward to the next video.
I have the Precision Mfg. 72" twin lid grapple for my Kubota M5660. I was disappointed that there isn't a single grease fitting on it anywhere...just holes in the side plates and a pin through it. It's nice to see yours have zerks. Oh well, if I ever wear it out I'll buy something a little nicer.
@@TractorTimewithTim How about choosing the best trailer for the equipment you have. Should you upgrade to a goose neck? Techniques for strapping down equipment. How many axels is needed on the trailer? I also love modifying and wiring trailers for my small stuff. Love your channel. Keep it up.
It is actually a patch, and the air pressure against the patch makes an excellent seal. Here in Alabama it would cost you a couple bucks. Real affordable.
Question Tim: Is there a company that makes a grapple that will attach to the ventrac versa-loader? I know Ventrac makes a grapple for the power bucket, but not the versa loader. This frustrates me as a landscaper interested in getting a ventrac.
Loving the new style of videos that you are adding. Your standard project videos are great of course, but I like that you are throwing in some of these too.
This is good stuff to include from time to time. Everyone experiences this too and keeps it real just like the batwing loading incident. I've lost my adjustments bolts from my tail wheel while bush hogging black berries.
Tim when you put the male and female couplers on put a male on one hose and the female on the other and do the same on your valves that way you do not have to guess if it is right.
Went out to just sit with my new 1025r and big puddle of antifreeze under the front. Water bottle empty. Radiator about 2 inches low. 14 hrs. on it. Tried to see where it is coming from but so far no luck. Hoping it is just a lose hose clamp. Hope!
Excited to see the update to the grapple. Its on my cost to benefit analysis for the farm this year. Our new to us 3 series will be here in about 30 minutes and that will pair fairly well.
Black Locust, yep. It's amazing for strength, energy density, rot resistance. The younger branches have those vicious thorns though. It's native to southern WI(me), an invasive species everywhere else, I hear. Used some 14ish inch trees for my corners and every 50' or so fencing my pasture last year. It's not going anywhere :)
Definitely like the idea of two types of videos. But also understand if it’s a lot more work and time just don’t allow. But if you can get it done well worth it to this viewer!
@@TractorTimewithTim I did not know you made those types of video well cool I’ll search for them. I thought it was all add ons not like repair or what have you. Well cool deal.
I like the stand alone episodes. I really like the background episodes like this one. It gives a more realistic picture of the type maintenance that goes on with tractor ownership. Thank yo for keeping the channel real and informative.
If you order from agfolks, you get the newer version. This is simply an 'update'. Perhaps the text has not been updated yet. ...but you'll get the newer one. Don't hesitate to contact them to confirm.
Tim, found your channel while in the market for a sub-compact. I immediately subscribed and I ended up getting the JD 1025R bundle a few weeks ago. To me this vlog format is just as important as the main videos because we all have to do these little maintenance chores and it's so nice to see how you go about the routine stuff. Funny thing - I started to tell my son-in-law about your channel - I said I've been watching this guy's youtube channel on small tractors and he immediately said "You mean Tractor Time With Tim?" !
A lesson I keep learning is I need to protect my hydraulic hoses plastic zip tie's on hand for securing , they get expensive after a cut ,A hose a fabricator 1/2 mile away helps
I have all my Hydraulic hoses so One male one female so I have to plug them in right. Another way is to buy a bag of multicolored zip ties and put them on the hoses then just plug color to color. Agristore USA has top link kits with regulators and hose kits so the right angles are uniform. They were very helpful in explaining why I should have a regulator on a top link and customer service was great with questions.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks! I've been looking for a plug n play that'll fit the rear SCV on my 2038 without the hassle. Thanks for doing the ground work!
That's how I have my grapple set up. I figure when I'm dumping s load all I have to do is let go of the trigger for my diverter while I'm curling to drop the load. It's more efficient that way.
Tim....your vlog-style episodes are jamb packed with useful info. This one answered 3 separate questions for me. One of which is told me which grapple to buy! Thanks!
Yes, we liked it!THANKS TIM
The video looks very clear maybe my internet is working better today.Thank for sharing
Love seeing behind the scenes videos
Enjoyed it. Thanks for the great videos.
Like seeing it all ! Love the orange in background!!
nice video, thanks for sharing
I liked it.
I like it hope you do more.
Please keep doing these

Enjoying your site.

Congratulations, Rob!
So Enjoy your videos.!!! 🇺🇸⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇸👍
I like it. It makes y’all real
I would say do a mix of both style videos.
Love shop time with Tim!

259. The 200 lb grapples just aren't proving strong enough. Folks are seeing bending in the lightweight frontier grapples.
@@TractorTimewithTim ok thanks. my 209lb wicked 55 bent as well. not overly pleased with that purchase. cylinders leaking like a screen door also. live and learn. thanks for the reply.
I really enjoy this type of video Tim. As a tractor owner it is nice to see some of the "nitty gritty" parts.
could you do more of these videos tim
Not sure how I missed this video, when it came out. I enjoyed it, can't wait to see them work!! btw, I have a woods one
My brother and I, been talking about getting a top hydro link.
I like the hands on fixes and adaptations
I like the vlog style, day to day stuff is a nice change.
You should get a 4 by 4 golf cart
Pick up some tire slim to seal the leaks
I like watching shop work.
Tim , It's great that you gave your Camera operator the day off ! That's really nice of you ..
Ha! Are you kidding! She was inside, busy editing a different video! She didn’t have time to mess with me, and threw me out on my own for this one!
@@TractorTimewithTim No Cheeseburgers for Her !
Tim, seems pretty relevant to me since we all have to do the ‘upkeep’ and the info about where you source parts and issues is always interesting.
Time for some tire slime nice video Tim an Christie thanks have a day love from TEXAS
When is the first oil change for the 2038r?
Will you put a link to the ssqd grapple on your website. Thank you
agfolks.com
I like this kind of video too.
Noticed when you went in the man door, it appears the tree beside it needs the branches trimmed back against the wall, I had a similar situation & with high winds it wore the finish of the metal wall.
We intend to take that tree out. Thanks for the comment...that will increase our motivation!
Gooten tight. Perfect torque value
Have you ever looked at wr longs diverter or third function as the call it. It is two buttons that you push instead of one and you don’t have to move the joystick to open or close the grapple
Two buttons would be a third function. We have not looked into it.
@@TractorTimewithTim I say diverter because it is more like a diverter than a third function
I like the behind the scenes video as well, and the more personal touch they add.
Hydraulic top links are the best to have my dad as one o our tractor and we love it
Nice bird sound track... adds a nice touch of spring to the video! 😉
Hmm...maybe I should record it and sell it ???
@@TractorTimewithTim Might be salable... so many folks don’t get to enjoy the real thing!

need a big water trough best way to find leaks
Please bring back "Truck and Trailer Tuesdays"
Specific topics?

Good stuff. Thanks!
The "background video" was perfect timing, I'm looking for a top link for my 2032r
I like the just little shop / behind the scenes stuff. I’d watch them.
I like the installing and fixing part of it because I am a mechanic
Hey Tim love the video. I like to see you get a frontier av20f grapple and uses it I’m waiting for mine to get here. Grate video
Very happy with mine... the narrower single lid makes it great to pull stuff out between trees, and I don't over load it as to have uneven loads.
Hey Tim: where are you getting the hydraulic for the upper link and how is it controlled? I have a “B” series but don’t have any rear hydraulics.
Tim I always look forward to your uploads! Have a great weekend!
I loved watching your videos about the new Holland workmaster 25S sometime in the future I hope you get more videos out about it
Interesting. We didn’t get many views out of those videos.
I love these types of videos, please do more these types next time.
The tires have to be plugged from the inside.
It is actually a patch, and the air pressure against the patch makes an excellent seal. Here in Alabama it would cost you a couple bucks. Real affordable.
How many times have you broke them cables and then Lynch pins for the loaders I gave up replacing them
I only broke one...then I started taking care to pin them while changing attachments.
Is there a scenario where you would rather have the R4 tires on the 2038r vs the R3 radials?
Very muddy conditions...these tires get packed.
You two are the best! Strong values shining through. Keep up the good work.
Tim, do you find the need to add additional protection on the grill while using the grapples.
I have a dent in one of my grills, yes.
Question Tim: Is there a company that makes a grapple that will attach to the ventrac versa-loader? I know Ventrac makes a grapple for the power bucket, but not the versa loader. This frustrates me as a landscaper interested in getting a ventrac.

Very nice grapple! We love ours too!!
I also have a rain day today. Inch and a half of rain coming. Thanks for the video really enjoyed

3e or 3R?
@@TractorTimewithTim 3039r
Yep! Congratulations on the new 3039r!
Thanks. New to us is new enough. Like it a lot so far!
What he happen to the kubota you got the tire off it? I enjoy the video it give you an idea how to fix things. Thank and God bless.
Maintenance videos are just as good as your other videos. I enjoy seeing them and learning from them.
Tim, I too enjoy the maintenance type videos. Some of my favorite videos from your channel are the "johnny's essential oils" series.
Black Locust, yep. It's amazing for strength, energy density, rot resistance. The younger branches have those vicious thorns though. It's native to southern WI(me), an invasive species everywhere else, I hear. Used some 14ish inch trees for my corners and every 50' or so fencing my pasture last year. It's not going anywhere :)
Tim, I cant quite tell in the video but does this updated grapple have greaseable zerk fittings at the hinge points? Thanks~
Yes.
Do you think the 2038R would be too heavy for a lawn with underground sprinklers? I use a 1025 now with no problems
No. I suspect about the same psi. Larger tires you know...
I recommend the hybrid radials to spread the load more.
Thanks Tim! Was hoping you’d say!
Say that lol
Definitely like the idea of two types of videos. But also understand if it’s a lot more work and time just don’t allow. But if you can get it done well worth it to this viewer!
We have many different types of videos (at least WE think we do).
Well you mentioned vlog and showing you doing more repair or upkeep type videos that’s what I meant I’ve not seen those or not yet maybe.
Yep. I got it :-)

Johnny 2 doesn't put dents in your yard when you mow it wet?
I suppose it would depend on how wet it is...but it isn’t much different than the 1025r...since the tires are larger.
I like this format ! Nice to see behind the scenes.
Is this newer 322 DBLSS grapple going to show up with AgFolks? Just looked and I only found the earlier version.

I like a sprinkling of issues you resolve and the accessories you find from different suppliers. They're very helpful.
Maybe I missed something. The top link and hose kit shown at the 13:30 mark... Is that on your 1025 or 2038?
Either one.
