#63 Deere 1025R & Toothbar vs. Crushed Rock Driveway
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- This driveway looks like butter. The toothbar just dug right through it.
In reality, the driveway was hard-packed. It had been in place for many years. For the prior owner, it had been used for parking a large tour-bus.
The John Deere 1025R can accomplish much larger tasks than what one might first think.
Of course, a larger tractor would have much more power, but it would not be able to maneuver in many of the tight location where I find myself.
The backhow may not be the most powerful or smooth ever made, but it sure does beat a shovel.
The Kubota BX may be better, who knows? Our videos have never been intended to show deficiency in other brands. Instead, we intend to show how effective and useful one of these subcompact tractors can be.

Hi Tim and family I just wanted to thank you after viewing this video I purchased the attachment from Heavy Hitch it worked fantastic.....I put in a 24 x 12 crushed stone pad for a storage container to sit upon today. Here in New Hampshire our soil contains more large rocks and shallow roots than not hence the granite state name....this made it short work after removing 6 inches of soil and getting down to the base material. Thank you again for the tutorials. The 1025r is my first tractor which I purchased 2 months ago....God bless
Congratulations! Glad you found the toothbar effective for your needs!
And glad you are enjoying the 1025r!
Rewatched, I have seen SO much of your channel and content... You have so much to share! Thanks for using your platform and sharing your talents!
The tooth bar is awesome! Operators need to get full buckets. It saves time and makes money!
I love my 1023e. Bought it New in May 2016 and I've been making so much money making shed foundations, moving stone, pulling out bushes, etc. A fun moneymaker. Haven't had any problems.
+Timothy Sweeney wow. How do you get the business?
Tractor Time with Tim - believe it or not - FACEBOOK! I post on the yard sale site for my area and it works. Not JUST for loader work, but other Handyma stuff. I post my link facebook.com/trulytims
Very nice. You do a great job of presenting your services on your Facebook page. Social Media is amazing.
Tractor Time with Tim - thanks Tim, that means a lot :)
This is better than classic ESPN.... good ol TTWT videos. Always enjoy them.
I live in an apartment complex so there's really nothing I can work on outside , but maybe I'll own my home 1 day and we'll I can put into practice what I've learned on your channel, I like how mr. t talks really slow and I can understand him very well the same for his daughter... keep up the good work
Thanks for the kind words.
That sound is a tree frog. It's their mating call. We have a issue with them in the pool every year
That is the meanest looking toothbar I've ever seen on a compact. Besides making the FEL useful for digging it strengthens the bucket and reduces wear. Your ballasts are your best friend here. The toothbar on my W.R.Long is also the front cutting edge that protects the loaders cutting edge and bottom. Clever design. The attention to placing high wear steel plate to all the proper cutting edges means a lifetime of service.
Tim, thought about buying a box scraper for your machine? It would be a bonus doing this type of earthwork. You could either pull the loaded box scraper with rippers down (or up) and it would keep it fairly level. Or push going in reverse and it would dig (depending on 3rd point length= shorter barely digs, longer digs uncontrollably) or if pulling: shorter lets rippers dig, longer lets rippers not touch and not allow the pulling blade to dig. Implement needs to be as level front to back and side to side as possible.
I use my 1025r with the 4ft box grader with scarifiers. It does this job perfectly.
It's is nice watching those videos. You and your wife working together sometime your daughter too I call that family time yeah it work but you guys enjoy it helping out people and you might have good rate people can afford and top of that great relationship with customers and Johnny is good family members🚜🚜👍👌
Thanks Richard. The funny thing is that our clients seem to be more 'comfortable' because we are there as a family.
If I had this nice new JD tractor, I'd go around helping our neighbors with whatever I could just for fun. I'd just make them pay for the fuel, and refreshments.
I plan to get a tooth bar for my RK19. Good video.
Bone Stock Garage, when you order it, just ask for a "set of Dentures" :-)
I want this tractor so bad! Also thank you guys for making the videos showing everyone how they work! :)
+Projekt 9 having lots of fun with Johnny. Save up. We waited many years before we were able to afford him.
Was it one of those really exciting, deeply satisfying moments in your life when you finally purchased it?
+s37d that might be overstating it a bit. However, it has been lots of fun for us.
Tractor Time with Tim do you see yourself ever replacing the one series with a newer model? We have a 2017 1025r and love it! The backhoe is the only major improvement but boy is it ever more convenient. If you ever find yourself in Washington state we should connect and do a project.
That would be fun, Rob. Seems like we have several loyal viewers in Washington.
Yes, we will likely update Johnny to a newer model someday. Not sure when.
I enjoyed every minute! The backyard is shaping up, big change. I like how you put bucket on the forks...love that machine. Note that muggsy Bogues was only 5'3" and he could dunk. Also note, I can't get close to dunking...maybe if I were shorter.
+Cash Johnston we have really enjoyed working in Patrick's yard. We have been able to help him a lot, and it was also good experience for us.
Good job Tim. Looks like your neighbor is getting you some hours on your tractor. Not to mention the work you get to do using the different things you have for it. I was mowing today and got rained out. Finish it tomorrow so we'll be ready for family that is coming down from Indianapolis. Yep, your neck of the woods. It's our Grandson and his family but they live on the west side. We can't wait to see them. It's been awhile.
Sounds good. I work on the west side. (71st & 465).
I used to deliver freight all around 71st&465.
Watching your videos made me go buy a JD tractor like yours...
Congratulations!
Not a jd fan but you have a lot of good videos on what your tractor can do. Keep up the good work. Paul Short told me about your site. God bless and stay safe
+John Kaufmann thanks for checking us out! Like Paul, we don't care what color it is! We just love playing with our tractor!
The only dunking I can do is an Oreo into a glass of milk.
He’s right! It’s a tree frog and it is their mating call. In Ohio we call them peepers!
Katriel, I loved my physics class, it was my highest grade my senior year of high school. I really miss physics class lol. Love the videos Tim and Christy!
You are in Law school now, right, Dawson?
@@TractorTimewithTim no, I dropped out. It wasn’t for me. I was going to school to be a law enforcement officer and I decided I didn’t want to be a cop in today’s society. But I did take all kinds of law classes at both colleges I went to.
HI, I LOVE THE LITTLE J.D., IT SEEMS TO HANDLE THE VERY HEAVY WEIGHT OF DRAINAGE ROCK LIKE A BIG MACHINE. I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T TEAR UP HER PROPERTY AS YOU TWIST AND TURN.. MY OLD BOBCAT ALWAYS TEARS UP THE LAWN AND CREATES A LOT OF MUD AS IT MOVES ABOUT.
I AM THINKING ABOUT THE TYPE OF TRACTOR I WANT TO DO A BUNCH OF SMALL PROJECTS . CAN YOU TELL ME IF YOU HAVE 2 BUCKETS? I SEE TEETH IN ONE VIDEO AND SMOOTH EDGED BUCKET IN ANOTHER.
+Keith Perry I have only one bucket. The teeth are easily removable. You are right. It doesn't tear up the lawn. After all, it is my lawn mower! This tractor is not as good as a bobcat for some tasks, but it will do lots of tasks a bobcat can't. I love the small size, tight turning radius.
You sometimes have to 'think it through', as the little guy doesn't have the brute force strength to do everything. My advice, get all the attachments you can afford. This is what makes it useful.
ok ok .... I subscribed.
great content, thanks for taking the time to share. God Bless.
+Oran Byrd thanks! Glad to have you aboard!
Nice job on the narration.
Love the commentary 👍💕
Tim I like the tooth bar. I did not no if I would use one untill I seen the videos. I have a Kubota ,but your Jonny is just as handy. Thanks for the video's.
Great to hear, Jeff!
Hi Tim happy father's day🚜🚜👍
carful hauling your machine facing forward on your trailer they are known to have the hoods come loose and fly open... makes a mess and isn't cheap..
When you do work like this, do you first check with the city for utilities?
Now that is what I call Getter Dune !!!!
+mike ashford yep! Thanks for watching!
If you guys got a mini dozer like one from the Magnatrac series you could name it Maggie! You’d have Johnny, Casey and Maggie lol
Ha!
Tim - love your channel - looked at every one - as a new and novice 1025R owner I have many questions - I rely on you and Courtney at Good Works for info but I see that unlike him you have no way to email you with questions - wasssupppp?
A box blade would have worked a little easier, nut you did good with what you had. I bought me a ngrader and a box blade for my lil red MF gc1710. Haven't had time to use them, yet, but my neighbor has used it a few times to fix the driveway after a few hard rains. Great job.
+opryhopeful yea. Box blade is on my wish list. Had 4 projects in a row which could have used it. ...didn't need it before or since.
+Tractor Time with Tim That's the way it goes. I go through the same thing. I have owned my mf for almost 2 years and I got the belly mower cause I just had to have it. I have used it 3 or 4 times. A finish mower and a small bush hog would have been more useful and a lot cheaper, though. Oh, well. You live and learn, I guess. I have a few videos up, but hope to have more later. Haven't had much time to use mine much, lately. I love watching and learning. I did learn one thing. When the bucket is used for grading, one needs to be careful cause the pistons can bend and break under the pressure. That is the main reason I got some blades. As long as the bucket isn't curled too much, there shouldn't be any worry, though. Thanks.
opryhopeful
Midi Digger Job !!
Love my John Deere !! Tim I learn from you every video !!
Thanks Chris. Glad it is working out for you. Makes us feel like we are accurately representing the capabilities. Would be bad if folks were disappointed after their purchase.
Thank you so much I’ve been wanting do this for so many years finally saved enough to do it and I’m loving it. You and your family helped push me through and take the jump keep up the good work a million thanks !
Sometimes I look at your 1025R and think it's what I want & sometimes it seems too small. On the other hand Sometimes I look at your 2038R and think it's what I want (or a 2032) & sometimes it seems too big.
Maybe the 2025 would be just right. It's been described as a 1025 on steroids. And the series 1 and a half. Between the one series and the big frame two series.
@@genedameier8746 It's the same physical size as a 2032/8R but you lose the 1025's maneuverability & yet only has capabilities of a 1025R (or less) so I don't really see the point of the 2025R exc. maybe a more comfortable ride/stability of the bigger frame but obviously for some people it makes sense. The 2032/8 seems like an incredibly well designed/versatile machine & I'd go for the extra HP of the 2038 at that point. I really like the Kubota B2601. It's in between the 1025R & 20xx physically and its capabilities and IMHO is what Deere should've done instead of the 2025R. I also like that it has a 3-speed Hydrostatic and no tier IV (?) Emissions compared to the 2032/8R. I'm just not crazy about some of Kubota's other features when compared to the Deere (treadle pedal, metal hood, deck/loader attaching) but is still a consideration. I think since I originally posted this I saw/sat on one. I was not impressed w/my local Kubota dealer but I'm 2 hrs from Messick's and an hour from DE Deere/Kubota dealers w/no sales tax. I've also come to appreciate Deere's "proprietary" loader attaching system. The 2601's physical size is exactly what I want. If Deere had something comparable I'd probably already have one on order.
I do appreciate the advice however!
@@genedameier8746 Actually, I stand corrected here. I thought the 2025R & 203XR were the same size physically but they're not. The 2 series brochure is awful regarding dimensions. Now I need to check the specs again compared to the 1025R vs. 2025R. Maybe that tractor is a consideration amd is closer to the B2601 than I realized.
you snapped the poles off at the bottom if you Wiggle from side to side then you can look them up break the concrete or their tamped in so tight.
+Karel Van Leer yep. Didn't expect them to break so easily.
Be nice to see a comparison with the Piranha tooth bar :)
You don't hear of it often, I know I didn't, but I use to extend my bucket all the way out like that and use the forks, one time, not sure why but the pressure of pushing with bucket let out popped one of the cylinder rods out, it just couldn't take the pressure so just keep that in mind when doing that, wierd, never heard of it happening but it didn't me and dealer said its really hard on it to out that kind of pressure on it, to fold the bucket in a little so its not all the way out and I've never had it happen again yet, knock on wood lol
Sounds like a frog, it must be a damp area back there
god work.keep it up
the more I see U use that tooth edge the more I like it. How much did u turn your pump up to.
Back Drag the bucket until you get a pile and scoop it up continue to do this or make a syfting box with chicken wire use different size boxs different size chicken wire
That noice you were hearing is a grey tree frog.
you can do this with a box blade without putting so much stress on your curl hydraulics... and level the site after
I admittedly don't know jack but was thinking the box blade for leveling it out. You think it would've done the initial work that he was doing with the bucket?
Every time I see a compact tractor I always see them struggle.
I’m sure you do
Have you ever thought about upgrading to an 3E or 3R series jd?
+Chase sure. Everyone thinks about those types of 'what ifs'
Tractor Time with Tim yes that's very true.. this little tractor looks like it's serving you well, looks like you have a lot of fun on it also!
+Chase yes, we do!
Hello TTWT
How long are those ramps, 6 or 8 feet?
I noticed Your BH bottom was very close to hitting the street as You loaded
My trailer has the beaver tail with 4 foot ramps and I definitely can't load on hard pavement
Fortunately I don't trailer it very often with the Backhoe on it but even with the Box Blade if the tail drops any it will get caught on the ends of the ramps
Its all about trailer design and loading
Thanks
Ken in Florida
Those were probably 6 ft or so.
Loading angle is always a challenge…on every trailer I own.
A highlift jack will pull a fence post in 15 seconds concrete and all. They cost $60.
I like your videos
Hey guys! Have you checked out a Ratchet Rake? I got one on my 2025R. It's different because it adds teeth that make it easier to back drag. I like these too.
I really enjoy your videos.
+Steven Drake ah, another potential attachment. Just when I was losing hope!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for your comment.
thanks
Tim,
As a 1025r owner myself, I would have to say I like the sound of the tractor better. I kept trying to figure out how you two were talking to each other while you were on the tractor and it distracted me from some great video.
I am curious how you were doing it though. I saw what looked like a kids microphone on your hat, buy what was your setup? My wife is deaf so for us to communicate verbally, I have to shutdown the tractor which can be a real pain when we are doing a task and I need her to move somewhere or something.
Thanks I wish I had the ability to make some videos too!
+Eric G maybe after i explain it, you won't be distracted anymore??
It is a Sena Bluetooth intercom.
Since this video, we have purchased a Sena prism action camera so that we can separate the audio recording. With this approach, I should be able to pick and choose.
If you look closely, you can see that I have earphones in my ears....
Okay. That makes more sense.
Great video
Thanks!
Tree frog👍
Lol her subscribe button was kubota orange. Lol
I've never heard someone even think a tree frog was a. cricket
What would be better to do a 120ft side walk I need to f
Go 6in 40 in wide. deep a tiller or a a bucket with a toothbar
Are wheel weights necessary in the rear with the backhoe in place? Or, do you simply leave them on permanently? What size are the wheel weights? Great share!
More weight is almost always helpful. We leave the rear wheel weights on all of the time. Additionally, we have Rimguard fluid in the rear tires, adding about 100lbs per tire. rimguardsolutions.com/ttwt
The wheel weights are 50lbs. Deere also makes a 'starter' weight which is 72lbs.
Thank you! My wife and I are very much enjoying your many videos. The BX2680 versus the JD1025R was a superb series. No doubt, both tractors are terrific. We were leaning toward the orange since our neighbor has been running a BX24 TLB for years with pleasant results. However, we are going green. We DO feel that the JD's FEL lifting superiority is a very important spec. THANK YOU!!! for those tests. FEL lifting is everything in our thinking when it comes to tractors. We ran a decent size Ford tractor for many years (sold it), and the FEL was used extensively. Now, we need back hoe, but we don't want to sacrifice FEL lifting by going with a sub-compact tractor. We have extensive gardens and numerous fenced in enclosures around the acreage with entry gates that require the sub-compact size for tight space accessibility.
You need a Kubota !
+Disney Scoop would be happy to add a Kubota to the fleet. :-).
Near Jersey ? come pick up a L2850 shuttle shift for less than 8K :D
Wondering if the toothbar is a part of the bucket for the loader or added after the fact?
You can buy the toothbar at heavyhitch.com. Use code TTWT for a 5% discount.
Boy that 1 series sure can move the dirt ,, awesome machine to say the least ,, well it is Green lmao..
Do you know if that tractor model comes in a gasoline version? Are you happy with the overall performance? How much Horsepower does it have?
Its about 24 horsepower and the 1-family of Deere subcompacts only come in diesel versions.
Greg is correct. On my opinion...yes, I am very happy with the overall performance. I prefer the diesel, actually. Once I got 'geared up' to store/fetch diesel, it doesn't cause any hassle.
Hi Tim,I was wondering where you found that chrome exhaust elbow for your 1025R. I would like one so all of my front attachment don't get all black.
Enjoying your video as always. Tim you are forgetting your ROPS and seat belt. I would not want to see you roll and be injured. Just preaching a little safety 🤐
Gary, did you happen to look at the DATE on this video????
@@TractorTimewithTim hi Tim , oh that was while ago. Yes 7 years. Didn't realize that. I've been going back and watching all of the older videos . Still find them interesting, entertaining and i am learning so much from them. I live in Newfoundland-Labrador, that's far eastern side of Canada. Not much going on here with respect to framing, there's some, but just small frams. Really like your videos and will keep watching until ive seen all ot them. Stay safe and keep them coming
@@garypower9024some say these first 100 are the best. They are numbered. This one is #63.
With regard to the ROPS. I (like most other first time compact tractor owners) was not really sensitized to how easy these machines could turn over.
I had removed my ROPS because “I’m a flat lander”. With more time and experience, I realized how tipsy they are.
I still don’t buy into the seat belt rule, I think I can ‘stay put’ in the seat if there is issue.
@@TractorTimewithTim Appreciate the reply Tim. If your not a fan of the seat belt and you find yourself about to roll , grab the steering wheel as tight as possible and don't let go until the tractor comes to a complete stop. If you do that, at least your hands and arms stay inside the work station, avoiding being trapped under the machine. I myself do not like wearing seat belts, but they have saved a lot of lives, and as much as a dislike wearing them , im a firm believer they may save mine. 👍
@@garypower9024I wear it in the car. See no need on the tractor.
That noise was a frog
Mr. Tim! Is there a huge difference between the h120 loader and the 120r? Can one lift more than the other?? Thanks!
Not much difference.
Now I need to mount some hooks to the bucket.
+Stretch MFE Yep. Http://boltonhooks.com ...tell him Tractor Time with Tim sent you!
You need a box scraper.
Yes, I do. Would have been perfect for this job. ...much easier than the approach I used.
Always something on the 'wish list', right?
Christmas is just around the corner. lol
Hmm, good idea. Christy? Katriel? anyone watching this???
There sure was a lot of rock there.
+opryhopeful I was told that it used to be parking area for large tour bus
Can you tell me why Jd has the Idle so hi on a 1025R. Mine is over 1600 RPM. They should be able to come down to 1000-1200 dont you think, Love watching you play all the time on the tractor.
Thanks
+Thomas Bridges yes, I CAN tell you! I should make a video about this! The tractor shakes like crazy when the idle is lower. Stuff rattles, etc. I run my idle a bit lower, but I'm planning on raising it back up to the 1550 mark (standard).
Also, it won't lift much or have much power at that lower idle. I've tried it!
I had a 2012 JD 2720 and that thing is a different beast. I think I have to sell this with 124 hrs. on it an see what the new 2025r is like or go up a little bigger than that. I don't like the way this 1025r with a 60D deck cuts grass can get it up high enough to cut a nice thick lawn, It cuts nice if you want low cuts all the time. What is your thought
+Thomas Bridges you will likely be more satisfied with 2032r or 2038r than 2025r...new 2025r is significantly smaller tractor than your 2720.
How many horsepower is that the 1025 R TIM?
ordered a 1025R...hey man, would Ag tires out perform the R4 tires here?
+darthvader4hire yes, ag tires would provide more traction. They would also be a bit rougher on the lawn. However, my dad uses ag tires on his 3320 and it doesn't destroy his lawn.
How much did you pay for that john Deere? And what model jd is it?
That sound is a Raccoon chittering. They make this sound when they're excited or mildly annoyed. Apparently, he doesn't like what's going on in his neighborhood. He's probably concerned about his property value.
Nope. That's a tree frog, not a raccoon.
@@Chris-jh3tg Yep, I agree. Although the two do sound very similar, tree frog makes more sense i guess. So it's a tree frog worried about his property value.
That is a type of bird they fly around our land all the tine
It is a tree frog, not a bird.
Where did you get those teeth, I need some for mine, just a bucket alone doesn't do very well.
Yea, they really help. I got the toothbar from Heavy Hitch: heavyhitch.com/store/replacement-parts/toothbar-for-john-deere-front-end-loader/
+Tractor Time with Tim Thanks alot.
Hi Tim love your vidios. Bought a 1023 a week ago. So far so good i am having alot of fun with it. I was wondering where you got the hooks on your bucket. I see they have loops inside and hooks on top i think they would be handy. Also think i will be ordering that tooth bar it seems to work very well.

Tractor Time with Tim
Thanks Tim you and your family do a great job of teaching people how these small tractors can work.
just curious but why didn't your father keep the bucket flat and level it out that way, thats what i do i'm just curious on his thought/reason
The toothbar made this difficult. Also, I wasn't able to 'move' the rocks as well as I'd like when it was flat. Probably an experience issue. Learning as I go :-)
+Tractor Time with Tim that's would make sense with the teeth, sucks yall can't take em off real fast for stuff like this
+Justin Wall They do come off easily. I guess I was just lazy...and for part of the work, I liked having them on. They were great at the digging part. i was sort of mixing the digging and the leveling, but it didn't matter. If you'll watch the next video in the series, you'll see that Patrick had a load of dirt dumped on top of where I had dug the rock out.
th-cam.com/video/OfgEccwx1HA/w-d-xo.html
Tim, Not sure if you do this already, but thought I'd share a tip I use with the tooth bar on my loader bucket.
The mounting ears on my tooth bar each have a 1/2 inch x 3in. slot rather than a single hole for the mounting bolt.
I simply drilled my corresponding bolt hole in each side of the bucket slightly forward (approx. 3/4in.) and used large wing nuts(optional) on the bolts. This allows me to attach the tooth bar, lock it in place for use, then simply loosen the wing nuts, pull the tooth bar out to disengage the tangs from the bucket edge, and then fold it back into the bucket when not needed, or for back dragging. Just tighten the wing nuts so the tooth bar doesn't flip back forward unintentionally.
I have found that I can still grab a load of dirt or mulch with it in the folded back position.
Hope this helps someone out there considering a tooth bar.
By the way, great work and beautiful faith serving family. You are truly blessed.
Thanks for all you do. God Bless.
The soil condition - that looks like the neighborhood was built on a gravel pit
+mcinkyt this rock had been trucked in to build the driveway many years ago. The soil under the rock was great.
Sounds like you had a racoon close bye.
So on a gravel drive way moving snow with a loader bucket doing the work, would it be better to have those kind of teeth or just the regular cutting edge? Same question if layer of ice is under snow layer going up and down on driveway and it’s slopes. So teeth or no teeth for bucket?
Ah, for moving snow with the bucket, you need edge tamers. Edgetamer.com. Use code TTWT for a 5% discount.
We have several videos showing these in action. Check them out.
Tractor Time with Tim I a beginning to think tractor buckets are like women’s purses. There seems to be a “need” to have one for nearly every occasion. Teeth for digging, cutting edge for gravel smoothing, edge tamer bucket for snow, big materials bucket for snow and other light fluffy stuff, 4 in 1, for grabbing things...WHEN WILL IT EVER END?!? 👍🤪👍 ITS A CONSPIRACY BY THE BUCKET MAKERS!!!😝
@@stevek4449 No worries! These all use the same bucket. They are ads ons to the bucket...they clamp to the bucket edge.
I have a 1025r and the exhaust hits the bucket do you know where you got the defector on the end of your exhaust pipe.
I got the deflector (called an 'exhaust turn out') from ebay. The 1 1/2" version which I got was a bit too big. Not sure if the 1 1/4" version would fit or not.
I'm really not that fond of the solution. It blows exhaust into by-standers faces, and it increases the apparent exhaust noise. Not sure of a better solution at this time.
+Tractor Time with Tim hood stack!
it's a toad making that noise
Tree frog, actually.
That thing is good but we have a Leyland 154 with a blade with a few pieces of rail tracks on its so heavy it would work as good probly better and in better harder dirt
Actually now I have seen what that thing do its a pile of shit what a waste it can barely do,anything!
Each to his own opinion, though I do wish you would avoid the bad language.
I find this little thing to be incredibly useful in 'tight' situations where larger equipment would not be able to navigate.
Every tool has a job, and I believe my 100+ videos demonstrate that the Deere 1-Family tractors can make many homeowner projects feasible or easier.
But it is fine with me if you feel differently. There are lots of different needs and lots of different situations, and the little 1025R certainly doesn't fit them all.
Thanks for watching!
I just purchased the toothbar and I really didn't like it. You could do much more without it. More clean job.
Sorry about that. It can be easily removed when not appropriate. However, when it IS appropriate, it cannot be beat. Turns the tractor into a monster.
How long is that trailer you have for the tractor?
16’. I have a different trailer now. (Still 16’)
Welcome to our channel!
Thank you for the quick reply. Actually watching you channel helped me choose the John Deere 1025R. Thanks again.
what is the name of that tooth bar i seen it on another tractor

The Noise You heard was most likely a Raccoon but it could have been a weasel!
Jacob Sweeney it was a tree frog. Every night the outside of my house is covered with them.
Don't take my comments as a criticism, rather constructive observations. I have watched a lot of your videos and have subscribed to your channel. I have seen two people killed with tractors. One, for some reason, stood up, fell forward and was run over by his tractor. The second was someone working around the tractor as it was being operated. The operator lost sight of the person and backed over them. I have watched the second situation developing in several of your videos. You have people standing around or working near your tractor as you operate it. I won't describe the gore that is a human crushed by a tractor but know it will stay with you forever. Take my comment for what they are worth but be safe. Tractors are unforgiving.
Please understand that you only see snippets of a project. You don't see anything that goes on between those small clips. You don't see the pauses for 'safety discussion, etc' which DO occur when we are on a project with inexperienced folks.
Further, if you are seeing it in the camera, then there is someone 'behind the camera' which sees even more than you do.
Additionally you see more 'real world' tractor projects on this channel than on most any other channel. Most marketing videos are highly staged, highly produced, etc. It is easy to get used to this type of video, thinking that this is how projects 'should look'.
We take a different approach, showing the nitty gritty of the project taking place. We want to show that getting the job done isn't always as 'clean' as one thinks by watching marketing videos. You will see this to an extreme in the video which comes out this afternoon.
We do have safety rules onsite, and we ask that homeowners (and their children) obey those rules. If they won't (or in some cases CAN'T due to young age), we ask that they stay away from the work site.
Of course I can't guarantee that we will never have a serious accident, but I do believe that you are over-estimating the risks that we are taking. Video shows a high resolution view of a small window of the project, but it cannot show the entire situation.
I appreciate your comment, and thanks for watching.
I didn't intend to put you on the defensive. However, I was in charge of a fire department aid crew in a rural community for 25 years and have driven agricultural equipment since I was 13. I don't believe it is possible to over stress safety when using these machines. I could write for a long time about the preventable accidents I have seen in the farming community, including one infant, but I believe that I have made my concerns known. I too hope you never have one of the accidents.
+Mauser304 how could I help being defensive? Even in your response you don't acknowledge any of the items I mentioned, you essentially just reiterated how unsafe I'm being, going so far as to insinuate that i might run over an infant. I try to be kind in these comments, but come on!!!
You simply cannot see the entirety of the work environment.
Since listing credentials seems important to you,
I have driven agricultural equipment since I was 4. I had full responsibility over a 150hp rig when 13, including daily lubrication, operating it all day, etc. At 15, I had daily maintenance and 16 hr days on a 320hp tractor.
I know you are a long term viewer, and I appreciate that, and hope you remain as such. It is just needlessly hurtful to us to repeatedly insinuate that we are endangering everyone we encounter. I KNOW that this is NOT the case.
Hit me up via the email listed in business contacts. We can talk about it further on the phone if you would like. Words on a page often do not portray one's thoughts accurately. I'm sure a brief phone conversation would be helpful.
Should spend more time around the bigger johndeeres they'd work a hole lot better and u would not have to worry about bogging out the engine
+Bryan Towers yea, I guess so, but they don't come with a mid-mount mower :-)
Tractor Time with Tim I got u well you could always buy a johndeere 140 and make a custom mower for the bottom just switch the PTO system around 👍🏻
Tractor Time with Tim also go look at my channel if want I've got two videos of the 140 JD
MUDDY MUDSTER d
+Amanda Gonzalez yep! Thanks for watching!
that is a frog
you should get a 2032r.
+Collin Zappa would be nice wouldn't it. Especially one of the new 2017 models.
Tractor Time with Tim i like the older series, little bit more hp, and a shorter frame.
+Collin Zappa yes, I do not need the bigger frame. I do want the auto-connect deck and quick connect backhoe. Maybe the 2018 2025r will be just right for me?
I don't know, its up to you, but I would get the 2032r because the 2025r has a little trouble with the smaller engine.
And quick connect wears out.

Put the ball in the bucket
What size backhoe bucket is thst?
8”. I have 8” and 16”. Check out some of our later videos to see how much more productive the 16” is when digging holes
For me if i did that i would buy some better tires like on the farm tractors for more traction.
+Brenton Carter Hard to have one set of tires suitable for everything, but the industrials seem like the best compromise to me.
👍
Do you want a hint
