You do a excellent job at getting info out to your viewers guys. You’re more like a tv show than a TH-cam video anymore, truly good stuff man! I know we all appreciate what you do.
I was thinking the same thing last night. Not too long winded, but explains a ton of material, love including part numbers. Plugs for sponsored items are smooth and not annoying. Like a very informative QVC clip, lol. This channel has really sped up my 1025r learning curve.
Thank you Tim for explaining a complicated subject for most of us new tractor users....showcasing many different options and solutions and not just one and done...Merry Christmas to you and your family
Over the past few years, you have become a hydraulic expert, Tim. Thanks for putting everything in Layman's terms, so the rest of us can understand it.
The wr long kit is a good 3rd function. That’s what my local dealer said they used. We bought ours for our 3032e for like $500 and haven’t had any issues with it.
The TH-cam algorithm just suggested this video. I had seen a video about adding a top link, but still had no idea how to drive the top link. This video gave me all my options. Thanks Tim!
I recently purchased a Yanmar YT235 and had the front and rear OEM hydraulics installed. I had the tractor for several months prior to the installation, due to supply issues. I also took your advice about having the rear tires filled with Rim Guard for ballast. I also had 2" spacers installed to widen the tractor for stability on slopes. I now believe that I have everything I could ever need on the tractor so that I am not limited in any way for any thing I would like to accomplish. I am very fortunate. I have learned so much from your videos, greatly appreciated for everything you show. I currently do not have any implements to use on the rear, other than a knack box I altered to utilize my quick hitch for ballast. (about 800#) filled with various tools to be used in the field. The only rear "implement" I have is a manual blade which I purchased for snow removal, but, I find I am using it for much more than that. I plan on planting a garden this spring at my daughter-inlaw's, Grandmothers farm, so I am wondering what you think I could use behind the tractor to turn the soil? I am looking for a 2-bottom plow but am only finding 3-bottom plows, do you think that this tractor is capable of plowing with a 3-bottom plow? (with or without coulter's)
Thanks Tim, very informative for the new owners of Sub Compact Tractors. I picked up my new 21 1025r a month ago, I chose the JD 3rd function for my grapple and any other front hydraulic needs and installed the JD Power Beyond for future expansion of the rear hydraulic options. The JD 3rd function is a very integrated system with hard line installation requirements but fits nice and is a clean install. The JD Power Beyond is integrated into the 3rd function system so if anyone is planning on taking the JD route, take note that it is beneficial to install both kits at the same time, that way you only have to disassemble the right side and floor boards and seating area of the tractor one time. Just thought I’d let some new owners know if they are still figuring this out, it took me a year to decide what and how I wanted to proceed as the sub compact hydraulic options were and still are evolving. Hopefully this will help someone down the line decide on what to do or what not to do!
A divertor gives you variable flow control for the third function and a electric button gives you full flow only and the third function could operate quicker depending on the valve size and hose size. As you said , you can only use 2 our of the 3 functions due to limited hydraulic flow. A very informative epidode and I'm glad my tractor came with a diverter. Thanks for all the videos.
I recently acquired a 2025R and I don't need/want additional front/rear hydraulics; I handle the sort of tasks you refer to (e.g. grapple, backhoe) with the hydraulics on my 4320 CUT. Nonetheless, this is great information. I appreciate the no-nonsense non-salesey approach. Thanks !
Thank you Christy and Tim, I have the first Summit diverter that you showed, it works great with my Worksaver grapple (GWT). Also I have the Summit rear remote kit (3) and will be installing it soon.
I would like to thank you for all the time you have taken to provide the information you have given us regarding the equipment individuals add to their equipment. Thank you for your help and time you put into your videos. Dean from Oregon
I bought my 3rd funcrion from WR Long and I have not had any problems at all and everything was plug and play and mine is hide under floorboard on my LS XR3135H MY kit was 700 dollars , I also have 2 sets of rear hydralics from factory ,
I bet you had no idea you were going to so impactful for so many people when you started this channel. It's crazy how important this information can be for your audience.
Tim… my dad always said… You can’t get something for nothing! Hydraulics are the perfect illustration… you have to either trade off functions to gain versatility or trade a bunch of money to get all your functions… and in the end, you still take a bit of a hit it performance when you try to use all those functions at once… not to mention crowding your work area with hardware and controls. But, in the end, it is worth it if you need it! Nice job showing the options… great explanation too!
The last kit I show for both front and rear is as close as you’ll get to ‘something for notheing’.. both front and rear for less than Deere OEM front 3rd function.
I just put the summit power beyond kit and the summit FR4-JD1 on my new 1025R. I wasn't thrilled with locating the 2 switches on the rops so i removed the switches from the box and installed them in 2 of the four switch spots on the console.. thanks for all the great suggestions Tim
Depending on how much flow your pump produces, is a key to deciding whether you want a third function, or a splitter. You typically don’t have enough fluid flow to do two things at the same time.
with my 2020 1025R id went with the deere front 3rd function, and i got the power beyond to hook up for a log splitter, or buying a 260B backhoe for it in the near future ...the 2 real plug & play..the manual turn nob actually impressed me even thou it's low tech, it also makes for less to go wrong...
Just have to say I absolutely love all of your videos. So refreshing, to the point, well spoken, etc. And you are a huge reason I bought a new John Deere 2025R. It is much better than my neighbors B2601 too. He is quite jealous when he sees all the features.
We had our dealer move the hydraulic outlets to the back of our 1026r. We don't have a loader but we do have a offset flail mower from Orsi and a three point hitch mounted hydraulic dump bucket
Great, thorough video, Tim. Appreciate all the time you do explaining the options. I know a lot of time goes into these videos. Stay healthy, please pray for my father who’s intubated in the ICU with covid.
I bought the JD Factory SCV Kit about 6 months ago. This does have hardliners and looks factory but it limits me to 1 set of rear remotes & YES the handle is in an awkward spot but I just use my elbow to actuate it for the most part. Mine was missing the actual control handle so I made my own out of a 200mm bolt that I cut the head off of and bent then I installed a Cue Ball on it and I was good to go. I don’t have the backhoe so this was my only option at the time. Quite pricey for what you actually get but I needed it!
Great video. Have watched couple times trying to understand all this for my future tractor purchase. Plan on buying used at this time as there is a pretty good supply of used here in WI. Hoping the market prices do not go berserk w/ all this weird covid stuff affecting supply.
I love your channel. You haven’t steered me wrong with attachments that I need to accomplish my tasks on the small farm. I was thinking of having back hydro for the Frontier MC21
I used the summit 4 valve kit that is installed on the rear of my mahindra. One valve uses long hoses to function as my third function. I had to use the generic kit and create brackets and hose/fitting combos as there was no kit for my tractor. I am very happy with my setup. I run a hydraulic top link, have plans for a hydraulic side link this spring and I will still have a spare valve for future use. Everything is plumbed thru my backhoe power beyond kit that was already on the tractor.
this tractor appears to be a newer one than you have been using I would like to say here to you and your subscribers that I finally pulled the trigger I just bought yesterday a 2021 1025R loader, backhoe,mower with a front snow blade and a ballast box . I cannot wait for them to deliver it!!!!!!!!! 😀
I bought front diverter kit when it first came out I love the trigger on it. I just purchased the rear kit 2 function both are Installed on a 2025r now bow fit tight, mountings, would be cool if I could put them together sorta like the rear option offers now. They both are great products, have about 1200 invested in both, thanks for a great video
I have been considering front hydraulics for my Bx 2380 . Now after watching your video I’m going to now look into hydraulics for both front & rear. Thankyou so much for putting out this informative video. Merry Christmas & God bless!
The desire for a hydraulic top link for my 1025R drove me to investigate this. Your videos on the hydraulic options and hydraulic top links let me make the decision on what would meet my current requirement and provide options for future needs. I’m adding the JD Power Beyond along withe Summit Hydraulics EVK2-JD1 and the AgriStore top link with check valves and hose kit. I have considered the HydroPlus Stg2 hydraulic upgrade, but decided to wait and see how the current upgrades work. Thanks for all the help!
I also added the EVK2-4 but don't have the power beyond. Why can't I just run hoses from the EVK2-4 straight to the pump and joystick (same place the power beyond connects)? Maybe I'm missing something. Any parts I need besides hoses? @@TractorTimewithTim
@@davidnow2559as long as you keep one continuous loop you will be fine. Funny thing is, summit power beyond is the same price as two hoses…the right length, comes with instruction and includes a bracket for the hose ends/couplers. Seems like silly NOT to buy the PB kit.
nice video you answered ever question i needed too know.Thank you soo much,I recentally purchased a 2023 1025r tractor with a backhoe and was thinking about how i could add a front and rear remote for a grapple and a hydraulic top link for the rear,now i know with you sharing youre knowlege ,bless you
can't really see the use yet - but I had my dealer install a "true third function" - they installed it in a kind of annoying location though - but I have no need for a grapple yet -
Only problem I can see with most of the Kits, is they don't seem to be compatible with my TekTite Cab on my 1026R and probably not compatible with the Mouser and other cabs used on the One Series.
Man this was an extremely well thought out set of knowledge and options. Great job. I have the JD 3rd function and installed by JD dealer. Wow, like you said it is so well integrated into the 1025R platform. I also like the joystick control. Couple of buts:1- the install costs more than the 3rd function. Yep pretty much took the tractor apart. 2- the hydraulic/electric gizmo is installed very close to the fly wheel access under the tractor. This makes turning the flywheel very cumbersome to get that crazy buried zerk fitting on the front drive shaft ( wish they come up with another solution to access that zerk). As always thanks for doing what you do.
Thank Tim really enjoy these types of videos. Enjoy all your videos but it nice to see when you work on your tractor and help us to work on our own. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may god bless you all.
Great. I’ve been wondering about this kind of stuff for my 2017 2032R. What about better than JD OEM cylinders for rear 3 & 4 for tilt and raise box blade? Thank you
I just pulled the trigger and ordered a 4 spool rear remote to put on my LS XJ2025. Hardest part was try to make sure I got the right fittings to go with the existing quick disconnect that is on my power beyond and backhoe. Summit Hydraulic sale team was great to work with. Now I have to say TTWT just cost me more money, it's is all his fault.
Great explanation of the difference between the available options. I do however find it crazy that deer does not include rear hydraulics for the price they are selling these tractors for. Most others include at least one set from factory.
Hey Tim, Ive got the OEM Deere 3rd Function for my grapple, what about an option similar to your 'cheapest rear solution' option from Discount Hydraulic Hose, but instead of using the loader SVC to run the hoses to the rear, you use the 3rd Function to run to the rear? That way you can still use your loader/bucket, and it would give you the option to run 3rd function in the front or in the rear.
Good point! The discount hydraulic hose kit will work the Deere third function. I have tried it that way. Sorry I failed to mention that! Too many options!
You are going to spend more than that at a dealer on just getting a factory OEM 3rd function. I think a lot of them are going for 14 to $1600. I think that is the going rate for both John Deere and Kubota.
A lot of information and good information. I’m trying to change my AF10 from manual angle to a power angle. Have stage 4 cancer and getting on and off tractor each time to change plow angle is getting tough. Thinking since all I need it for is the snow plow that a diverter valve or switch would fit my bill, but so dam confused. I just don’t know where to start
@@TractorTimewithTim can I ask just one more question, summit has diverter on sale and I think I might be able to handle that installation easier. Anyway my question is since hydraulic system is a closed loop system, couldn’t I connect to the left side curl cylinder instead of the right side cylinder, which has a lot going on with single point connection on that side, and not a lot of room.
Never heard of them connecting to the curl cylinder. As for left or right, the ‘divert’ would need to occur before either cylinder. So, you would have to evaluate the plumbing to ensure that.
That’s awesome! Very good episode! Your always so informative. And to be honest your probably one of the reasons I bought a tractor! Just ordered it and can’t wait!
I need a tractor time with Tim in Red. Mahindra red. 26 Max xlt. I have the backhoe. So I believe the last kit with front and rear might be adaptable. The Turbo is another story. I’m Green with envy
Hands down this was the best video on compact tractor hydraulics I've seen. Thanks, guys, for doing such a thorough job! One question I have - do you have any information on how John Deere views "warranty issues' when hooking up a third-party hydraulic kit to a tractor that's still under the original warranty? Thanks again!
What a great video Tim. Good job. I have the OEM front TFK on my 1025R. Have purchased the OEM PB kit but not installed it yet. Have not pulled the trigger on the rear function kit yet. Trying to decide which to get, 2, 3 or 4. Currently I don't have any attachments that need rear hydraulics, but I know I will in the future. Having a hydraulic top link 3pt would be great. A hydraulic arm on the 3pt would be nice for easy tilt. Thank you for a great video of what options are out there and giving your opinion on the pros and cons of each. I liked how you broke down each need, front only, rear only and then both.
I have a John Deere 3043D and have the factory installed rear remotes for Hydraulics and 3rd function connection for a grapple. What is the best choice to add a rear set of hydraulics and detent control to turn on and off a hydraulic motor on a 3 pt potato digger?
I sadly got the diverter early on before the rear solution was available so I have 2 to the rear and front 3rd function, can I trade the diverter in for the 3rd function coming out of the rear lol, very nice video
My seat i have to turn the seat around to use the backhoe. We it works on my 2017 1025r I would like to get front and back. Which Hyd . I don’t know which kit do I need.
I think you do an awesome job of explaining everything tractor related. I'm planning to purchase a new Deere this coming year, I have been undecided on the 2R vs 3R so I'm really looking forward to your upcoming videos. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication on making these videos, Merry Christmas!
Hey. I have the 2012 1026R TLB. I have a third front hydraulic but need rear hydraulics specifically for my box blade. I’m thinking two cylinders - top link and one side link. The Summit’s system looks great mounted to the ROPS but I need to know if it will interfere too much with my operating space for my backhoe. I have the original backhoe without a seat where my seat swivels to the rear for backhoe operation. What cylinders would I need please?
@@TractorTimewithTim Yep hotel booked. Looking forward to seeing everyone again! Was hoping you would have a meet at Cousin’s again. What night are you doing that? We are headed down Wednesday morning until Saturday.
Which setup would you recommend for me? I have an older JD 4600 with FEL and backhoe attachment. Backhoe is powered by the power beyond. FEL has The JDQA.
Hey Tim, I like that solution that’s good for both front and rear. I believe it was Power and beyond I have a 2025R and interested in the same set up that you were showing. It sounds like I can keep my backhoe on as well. What was the numbers for that kit, thanks a lot. I truly appreciate your videos.
Hi Tim. Great video, thanks. 2012 1026R TLB. Where do I order the appropriate cylinders for the top and side links on my rear quick disconnect I use on my box blade. I’m ordering the EVK2-4 from Summit Hydraulics
What about the mower hydraulic lift? My 1025R does not have one, but I want one. How best to implement mower hydraulic lift, and also allow for adding the front and rear hydraulic options in the most useful as well as the least expensive way.
Thank you for the summary of the options. One thing I would like to clarify is the addition of the power beyond function to a tractor. Am I correct in assuming that this can be added to any tractor with the power beyond hydraulic kit added? Thank you..
This was indeed a very helpful summary. I purchased the OEM Kubota kit for adding front hydraulics to my BX23S. It was a bit over $700 and a project, albeit manageable, to install and is very nicely integrated. Don’t understand why they don’t make one for the rear (eg for hydraulic top link). The EVK2-2 kit looks like the best solution but I know it has been designed primarily with the Deere 1025R in mind. I am concerned that the hoses and mounting will not be quite right for the Kubota, particularly keeping in mind the backhoe attachment and the (miserable) seat swivel requirement and clearances required. Your advice there would be most appreciated as well as a source for a suitable hydraulic unit to replace the manual top link. Thanks and best wishes for the holiday season! Very sorry to hear about Martha’s tail. I would really miss not being able to stroke our cat’s tail which (I think!) she likes.
Quick question: I have a JD 2320 without a cab. All I want to do is power a three-pt wood splitter. What do I need to get? I watched your video. Thanks!
No matter what you use, you will find the splitter quite slow. Not much hydraulic flow on these little tractors. Assuming your splitter has an open center valve on it already, you would need a power beyond kit. If the splitter does not have a valve, you need power beyond, plus one of these rear kits which plugs into the power beyond. I do not know if summit has a power beyond for 2320. Check aummit-hydraulics.com/ttwt there is a wizard of sorts there where you can step through the choices to get what you need.
Great video! Thanks for going over all these options in such an easy to understand fashion. Hopefully this hasn't been asked already: I am leaning towards the extension hose options - mostly for a top link at this time. What are the rear connector sizes for those and do they match with most rear / cylinder options out there? (Looking at one on Amazon). I started looking at various adaptor options and quickly got pretty lost. What a great channel! Thank You!
1/2” is the standard for rear scv’s . Please do the channel a favor and purchase from DiscountHydraulicHose.com/ttwt We’ve helped to show you the product, we would appreciate your support for the purchase.
Love the 4-button control on the loader stick. I have a JD2032R and been looking for over a year for a 3rd function and now want rear hydraulics for a flail mower, snow blower and a hydraulic top link. JD OEM is over $1400 just for the 3rd function not counting labor at &138/hr and 6 hrs. The rear 4th & 5th is another $1300 plus. Sounds like the Summit FR3-JD1 would be my solution to get 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th functions on my tractor. If I understand you correctly would this be what I want or need? I only have about 50 hrs seat time and certainly no mechanic but handy enough that I can figure things out. Do you have any videos about the hydraulics for JD2032R?
Thank You Tim. I am looking for a set of extension hoses to go between the power beyond and the backhoe, I want to adjust the position of the backhoe without getting the tractor all the way mated to the backhoe. Or a second option, do you know of a commercial small electric or gasoline hydraulic pump/valve device I could roll up to the BH and adjust it's position? Thanks Steve
Hey Tim, do you have an install video of the front 3rd function from Summit? Looking to put one on as the installation instructions aren’t the greatest from summit. I’m also wondering if a hydraulic line for lowering and raising the mower deck can plug into the summit 3rd function to operate the lower and raise while mowing. -Rick
This is the closest. Have you already purchased? If not, I would recommend the power beyond plus summit FRk-jd3 which is a front 3rd function with rear scv’s as well.
Tim, Very informative. Are any of these solutions applicable to Ventrac? The question being how to get more use out of the rear of the ventrac. A suggestion for a future video is to show which non-Ventrac Cat 1 implements are compatible with use by a Ventrac. Thanks.
@@TractorTimewithTim Tim, thanks for responding so quickly. Do the rear hydraulics on the Ventrac need "beefing up" in any of the ways you discuss in the video? Maybe its just me, but I think it would be good visually to see you demonstrate use of non-Ventrac Cat 1 implements, both hyd driven (non-pto) and non-hyd implements, on Ventrac. Thanks again.
like the old 140's you need front, rear and mid. no if's no and's no buts. loader, plow/blower, tiller, grader blade, mower, sickle , belly blade, sweeper, aerator, power dethatcher, field rake, land plane, soil conditioner, slit seeder, broadcast spreader, log splitter, grapple, boom lift
Excellent video Tim & Christy.. Extremely informative!!!.. Thank you for going through all the work, time, and research to make this episode.. You're the BEST!!.. God bless.. Merry Christmas!!.. Received my TTWT "orange tractor" long sleeve shirts the other day.. Great quality, fit perfectly, thank you so much.. "Hi" to Katriel..🙂
I am considering a Summit TFK-JD1 for my 1025r. I do not have power beyond, OEM or aftermarket. The reason I have for choosing a TFK rather than the DVK is for the true 3rd SCV. In my case for a grapple, that would admittedly be used only occasionally. My question comes from the part of your video that describes a Discount Hydraulics hose set that connects to one of the loader spools to provide a cheap solution for rear hydraulic ports. Would it not be possible then to use the same concept, albeit slightly longer hoses, to instead extend the little used front 3rd function spool to the rear when the grapple is not in use?
Excellent video Tim! I'm salivating over that front & rear solution. I didn't understand the controls though. From what I could tell you have 3 rear and 1 front, but you had 2 sets of buttons (for 2 valves) and 2 switches. Are those switches rocker switches? I was thinking you needed two switches just like the two buttons on the joystick for each valve, but if so then you are missing a set of switches for valve 4. Sorry if my question is clear as mud.
Ok, I get your confusion. We have 4 sets of controls in total. 2 of them are on the joystick (the 4 buttons) the other two are the momentary switches on the box. On the rear of the tractor, we have 4 valves total. 3 with connectors for the rear. One (the elbows) will be routed to the front for grapple. The joystick will control the front one, and one of the rears. The momentary switches will control the other two rear valves. I hope that helps to explain it.
Tim, have you seen or heard of anyone using the OEM Deere deck lift to run a grapple arm, or modifying the hyd circuit in that part of Johnny to install a 3rd function? I Ordered my '17 1025R with the hydraulic mower deck lift, it used an electric button below the light switch to lift the deck. I had high hopes that i could form it into a third function, but it was a poor option even for the deck lift. I was not satisfied with it and bought the part so the 3 point lever would control my deck lift.
I do not know. I would not want the grapple control there anyway. You’ll find a 3rd function from summit-hydraulics.com/ttwt to be quite cost effective. Use code ttwt for a five percent discount.
Thanks Tim and Christy for your video's and the great information and explanations! Thank you for the Bible verses and for honoring Jesus. Merry Christmas 🎄 May the Lord bless you
Love your videos very professional and informative looks like I will drop some dough on the front and rear.cause I want the top and tilt and a grapple.. Also what is the bracket you have mounted on the side of you I-match quick hitch ?

Tim… my dad always said… You can’t get something for nothing!
Hydraulics are the perfect illustration… you have to either trade off functions to gain versatility or trade a bunch of money to get all your functions… and in the end, you still take a bit of a hit it performance when you try to use all those functions at once… not to mention crowding your work area with hardware and controls.
But, in the end, it is worth it if you need it!
Nice job showing the options… great explanation too!
The last kit I show for both front and rear is as close as you’ll get to ‘something for notheing’.. both front and rear for less than Deere OEM front 3rd function.
I just put the summit power beyond kit and the summit FR4-JD1 on my new 1025R. I wasn't thrilled with locating the 2 switches on the rops so i removed the switches from the box and installed them in 2 of the four switch spots on the console.. thanks for all the great suggestions Tim
Depending on how much flow your pump produces, is a key to deciding whether you want a third function, or a splitter. You typically don’t have enough fluid flow to do two things at the same time.
with my 2020 1025R id went with the deere front 3rd function, and i got the power beyond to hook up for a log splitter, or buying a 260B backhoe for it in the near future ...the 2 real plug & play..the manual turn nob actually impressed me even thou it's low tech, it also makes for less to go wrong...
Just have to say I absolutely love all of your videos. So refreshing, to the point, well spoken, etc. And you are a huge reason I bought a new John Deere 2025R. It is much better than my neighbors B2601 too. He is quite jealous when he sees all the features.
We had our dealer move the hydraulic outlets to the back of our 1026r. We don't have a loader but we do have a offset flail mower from Orsi and a three point hitch mounted hydraulic dump bucket
Great, thorough video, Tim. Appreciate all the time you do explaining the options. I know a lot of time goes into these videos. Stay healthy, please pray for my father who’s intubated in the ICU with covid.
Oh my! Sorry to hear that! Praying!
I bought the JD Factory SCV Kit about 6 months ago. This does have hardliners and looks factory but it limits me to 1 set of rear remotes & YES the handle is in an awkward spot but I just use my elbow to actuate it for the most part.
Mine was missing the actual control handle so I made my own out of a 200mm bolt that I cut the head off of and bent then I installed a Cue Ball on it and I was good to go. I don’t have the backhoe so this was my only option at the time. Quite pricey for what you actually get but I needed it!
Great video. Have watched couple times trying to understand all this for my future tractor purchase. Plan on buying used at this time as there is a pretty good supply of used here in WI. Hoping the market prices do not go berserk w/ all this weird covid stuff affecting supply.
I love your channel. You haven’t steered me wrong with attachments that I need to accomplish my tasks on the small farm. I was thinking of having back hydro for the Frontier MC21
EXACTLY THE INFORMATION I NEEDED! Thank you. Seriously looking at a 1025R.
I used the summit 4 valve kit that is installed on the rear of my mahindra. One valve uses long hoses to function as my third function. I had to use the generic kit and create brackets and hose/fitting combos as there was no kit for my tractor. I am very happy with my setup. I run a hydraulic top link, have plans for a hydraulic side link this spring and I will still have a spare valve for future use. Everything is plumbed thru my backhoe power beyond kit that was already on the tractor.
Did you use code ttwt?
Hi Tim,can the third function hydraulic at the front also be used fore the rare hydraulic top link using longer hose?
Yep. Get the appropriate hose kit at discounthydraulichose.com/ttwt use code ttwt for a 5% discount.
Thank you🙏🙏🙏
this tractor appears to be a newer one than you have been using I would like to say here to you and your subscribers that I finally pulled the trigger I just bought yesterday a 2021 1025R loader, backhoe,mower with a front snow blade and a ballast box . I cannot wait for them to deliver it!!!!!!!!! 😀
Congratulations! Yes, it has 5 hours on it!
Excellent explanation. Better than my dealer ever explained. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words.
I bought front diverter kit when it first came out I love the trigger on it. I just purchased the rear kit 2 function both are Installed on a 2025r now bow fit tight, mountings, would be cool if I could put them together sorta like the rear option offers now. They both are great products, have about 1200 invested in both, thanks for a great video
I have been considering front hydraulics for my Bx 2380 . Now after watching your video I’m going to now look into hydraulics for both front & rear.
Thankyou so much for putting out this informative video. Merry Christmas & God bless!
We need to mount this kit on a bx…to test the fit.
Wow, I really like that front and rear solution, and that joystick is awesome. I may have to sell my summit diverter and pick one up.
Yes, a nice step up from a simple front diverter.
The desire for a hydraulic top link for my 1025R drove me to investigate this. Your videos on the hydraulic options and hydraulic top links let me make the decision on what would meet my current requirement and provide options for future needs. I’m adding the JD Power Beyond along withe Summit Hydraulics EVK2-JD1 and the AgriStore top link with check valves and hose kit.
I have considered the HydroPlus Stg2 hydraulic upgrade, but decided to wait and see how the current upgrades work. Thanks for all the help!
Sounds good! Thanks!
I also added the EVK2-4 but don't have the power beyond. Why can't I just run hoses from the EVK2-4 straight to the pump and joystick (same place the power beyond connects)? Maybe I'm missing something. Any parts I need besides hoses? @@TractorTimewithTim
@@davidnow2559as long as you keep one continuous loop you will be fine.
Funny thing is, summit power beyond is the same price as two hoses…the right length, comes with instruction and includes a bracket for the hose ends/couplers. Seems like silly NOT to buy the PB kit.
nice video you answered ever question i needed too know.Thank you soo much,I recentally purchased a 2023 1025r tractor with a backhoe and was thinking about how i could add a front and rear remote for a grapple and a hydraulic top link for the rear,now i know with you sharing youre knowlege ,bless you
Get Hydraulic toplink from AgriStoreUSA.com use code ttwt for 5% discount. Found it AFTER this video.
I have a 3032 with a backhoe, would like a front third function and at least 1 rear, maybe 2. I think you just solved my problem. Thanks for the info.
Yep! The FR3-KD1 is just what you need!
can't really see the use yet - but I had my dealer install a "true third function" - they installed it in a kind of annoying location though - but I have no need for a grapple yet -
Only problem I can see with most of the Kits, is they don't seem to be compatible with my TekTite Cab on my 1026R and probably not compatible with the Mouser and other cabs used on the One Series.
Great video bought a HM1 JD1 from Summit I had to educate my dealer used your promo code Thanks from Ontario Canada
Thanks!
Man this was an extremely well thought out set of knowledge and options. Great job. I have the JD 3rd function and installed by JD dealer. Wow, like you said it is so well integrated into the 1025R platform. I also like the joystick control. Couple of buts:1- the install costs more than the 3rd function. Yep pretty much took the tractor apart. 2- the hydraulic/electric gizmo is installed very close to the fly wheel access under the tractor. This makes turning the flywheel very cumbersome to get that crazy buried zerk fitting on the front drive shaft ( wish they come up with another solution to access that zerk). As always thanks for doing what you do.
Good useful feedback.
Thanks for the kind words!
I always learn something from Tim! Well done.
Great info, I personally would be looking to be able to adapt the FD4-JD1 to a 3032E for sure…thanks
Thank Tim really enjoy these types of videos. Enjoy all your videos but it nice to see when you work on your tractor and help us to work on our own. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may god bless you all.
Great. I’ve been wondering about this kind of stuff for my 2017 2032R.
What about better than JD OEM cylinders for rear 3 & 4 for tilt and raise box blade?
Thank you
I just pulled the trigger and ordered a 4 spool rear remote to put on my LS XJ2025. Hardest part was try to make sure I got the right fittings to go with the existing quick disconnect that is on my power beyond and backhoe. Summit Hydraulic sale team was great to work with. Now I have to say TTWT just cost me more money, it's is all his fault.
Thanks for making this! One of the most informative videos out there!
Great explanation of the difference between the available options. I do however find it crazy that deer does not include rear hydraulics for the price they are selling these tractors for. Most others include at least one set from factory.
No, most others do not include in the subcompact size.
Hey Tim, Ive got the OEM Deere 3rd Function for my grapple, what about an option similar to your 'cheapest rear solution' option from Discount Hydraulic Hose, but instead of using the loader SVC to run the hoses to the rear, you use the 3rd Function to run to the rear? That way you can still use your loader/bucket, and it would give you the option to run 3rd function in the front or in the rear.
Good point! The discount hydraulic hose kit will work the Deere third function. I have tried it that way. Sorry I failed to mention that! Too many options!
@@TractorTimewithTim I’m sure there are even more options and styles… Good video and list!
Really nice overview. I am surprised that the OEM hydrallics are still so limited at this time. The Summit solutions seem like a home run.
The FRK kit is a bargain. Front AND rear for $1100 or less with TTWT discount.
You are going to spend more than that at a dealer on just getting a factory OEM 3rd function. I think a lot of them are going for 14 to $1600. I think that is the going rate for both John Deere and Kubota.
@@jimmcknight3021 The Kubota OEM 3rd function for the LX3310 is $889.28
@@Morpheen999 That's a good price, but is that just for the kit?
@@jimmcknight3021 Yes, if you've got some experience with a wrench you can install it yourself
A lot of information and good information. I’m trying to change my AF10 from manual angle to a power angle. Have stage 4 cancer and getting on and off tractor each time to change plow angle is getting tough. Thinking since all I need it for is the snow plow that a diverter valve or switch would fit my bill, but so dam confused. I just don’t know where to start
The front 3rd function kit from summit is probably your best best.
@ thank you very kind sir may God bless you
@@TractorTimewithTim can I ask just one more question, summit has diverter on sale and I think I might be able to handle that installation easier. Anyway my question is since hydraulic system is a closed loop system, couldn’t I connect to the left side curl cylinder instead of the right side cylinder, which has a lot going on with single point connection on that side, and not a lot of room.
Never heard of them connecting to the curl cylinder. As for left or right, the ‘divert’ would need to occur before either cylinder. So, you would have to evaluate the plumbing to ensure that.
That’s awesome! Very good episode! Your always so informative. And to be honest your probably one of the reasons I bought a tractor! Just ordered it and can’t wait!
Congratulations! You’ll enjoy it!
gotta love them kitties the do help make the show,and there just great kitties
This was very thorough and helpful. Thanks.
Great video, I just ordered the front & rear kit ( wish I knew about you 5% link ) for my 2038r. Excited for it's arrival . Thanks for the video.
Call em and tell em you forgot to apply ttwt
the hand held chain saw works great u can order a spare battery off amazon
I need a tractor time with Tim in Red. Mahindra red. 26 Max xlt.
I have the backhoe. So I believe the last kit with front and rear might be adaptable. The Turbo is another story. I’m Green with envy
You could always trade :-)
Hands down this was the best video on compact tractor hydraulics I've seen. Thanks, guys, for doing such a thorough job! One question I have - do you have any information on how John Deere views "warranty issues' when hooking up a third-party hydraulic kit to a tractor that's still under the original warranty? Thanks again!
What a great video Tim. Good job. I have the OEM front TFK on my 1025R. Have purchased the OEM PB kit but not installed it yet. Have not pulled the trigger on the rear function kit yet. Trying to decide which to get, 2, 3 or 4. Currently I don't have any attachments that need rear hydraulics, but I know I will in the future. Having a hydraulic top link 3pt would be great. A hydraulic arm on the 3pt would be nice for easy tilt. Thank you for a great video of what options are out there and giving your opinion on the pros and cons of each. I liked how you broke down each need, front only, rear only and then both.
I just installed a Summit kit on my 3025E to handle a snow plow this winter. Pretty easy install, but it is definitely not very elegant.
Hard to make this type of thing elegant !
I have small bobcat tractor with third function from dealer and grapple they are fun little machine
I have a John Deere 3043D and have the factory installed rear remotes for Hydraulics and 3rd function connection for a grapple. What is the best choice to add a rear set of hydraulics and detent control to turn on and off a hydraulic motor on a 3 pt potato digger?
I sadly got the diverter early on before the rear solution was available so I have 2 to the rear and front 3rd function, can I trade the diverter in for the 3rd function coming out of the rear lol, very nice video
My seat i have to turn the seat around to use the backhoe. We it works on my 2017 1025r I would like to get front and back. Which Hyd . I don’t know which kit do I need.
I think you do an awesome job of explaining everything tractor related. I'm planning to purchase a new Deere this coming year, I have been undecided on the 2R vs 3R so I'm really looking forward to your upcoming videos. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication on making these videos, Merry Christmas!
Hopefully we can help. We have questioned this choice ourselves. They seem similar in many ways, yet quite different in others.
Well done, Tim. Really helpful. Thank you.
Hey. I have the 2012 1026R TLB.
I have a third front hydraulic but need rear hydraulics specifically for my box blade. I’m thinking two cylinders - top link and one side link. The Summit’s system looks great mounted to the ROPS but I need to know if it will interfere too much with my operating space for my backhoe. I have the original backhoe without a seat where my seat swivels to the rear for backhoe operation.
What cylinders would I need please?
Great video Tim for someone that needs to figure out what they need in scv’s
Thanks Bob! Hope to see you in Feb! Meeting at Cousins again.
@@TractorTimewithTim Yep hotel booked. Looking forward to seeing everyone again! Was hoping you would have a meet at Cousin’s again. What night are you doing that? We are headed down Wednesday morning until Saturday.
Thursday.
@@TractorTimewithTim 👍
Which setup would you recommend for me? I have an older JD 4600 with FEL and backhoe attachment. Backhoe is powered by the power beyond. FEL has The JDQA.
Hey Tim, I like that solution that’s good for both front and rear. I believe it was Power and beyond I have a 2025R and interested in the same set up that you were showing. It sounds like I can keep my backhoe on as well. What was the numbers for that kit, thanks a lot. I truly appreciate your videos.

Ty Tim got my discount on Ken’s bolt on pumpin up the hydraulic pump 🔥
The gauge as I’m doing upgrades soon
Hi Tim. Great video, thanks.
2012 1026R TLB. Where do I order the appropriate cylinders for the top and side links on my rear quick disconnect I use on my box blade. I’m ordering the EVK2-4 from Summit Hydraulics
I bit the bullet and had Pape’ install the 3rd, 4th and 5th on my 3046r
What about the mower hydraulic lift? My 1025R does not have one, but I want one. How best to implement mower hydraulic lift, and also allow for adding the front and rear hydraulic options in the most useful as well as the least expensive way.
Skip the hydraulic lift on the deck. It isn’t very desirable. The rockshaft connected lift is best.
great to explain all of the options
So, I can add power beyond to work with existing jd third function? And then add SH kit for more flexibility?
Yep! On a 1025r, you can do that. Have that configuration on my 2019 Johnny.
Thank you for the summary of the options. One thing I would like to clarify is the addition of the power beyond function to a tractor. Am I correct in assuming that this can be added to any tractor with the power beyond hydraulic kit added? Thank you..
Yes. If you have power beyond, those PB connected kits will work on your tractor.
This was indeed a very helpful summary. I purchased the OEM Kubota kit for adding front hydraulics to my BX23S. It was a bit over $700 and a project, albeit manageable, to install and is very nicely integrated. Don’t understand why they don’t make one for the rear (eg for hydraulic top link). The EVK2-2 kit looks like the best solution but I know it has been designed primarily with the Deere 1025R in mind. I am concerned that the hoses and mounting will not be quite right for the Kubota, particularly keeping in mind the backhoe attachment and the (miserable) seat swivel requirement and clearances required. Your advice there would be most appreciated as well as a source for a suitable hydraulic unit to replace the manual top link. Thanks and best wishes for the holiday season! Very sorry to hear about Martha’s tail. I would really miss not being able to stroke our cat’s tail which (I think!) she likes.
The EVK2-x should work beautifully on the Bx.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you for that very quick reply. Any thoughts on sourcing the actual hydraulic actuator?
The summit EVK2-x contains all you need.
summit-hydraulics.com/ttwt please review our videos on this product.
@@TractorTimewithTim sorry I have not made myself clear. I meant the hydraulic cylinder to replace the top link.
Oh! Sorry. You need a bit shorter (18”-26”) cylinder than the 1025r needs. Not sure where to get it.
Quick question: I have a JD 2320 without a cab. All I want to do is power a three-pt wood splitter. What do I need to get? I watched your video. Thanks!
No matter what you use, you will find the splitter quite slow. Not much hydraulic flow on these little tractors.
Assuming your splitter has an open center valve on it already, you would need a power beyond kit.
If the splitter does not have a valve, you need power beyond, plus one of these rear kits which plugs into the power beyond.
I do not know if summit has a power beyond for 2320.
Check aummit-hydraulics.com/ttwt there is a wizard of sorts there where you can step through the choices to get what you need.
GREAT video, Always think forward, it will save money if you do both at the beginning... I myself like my money...
Especially in this case. The FRK (both front and rear) kit is by far the most cost effective.
Great video! Thanks for going over all these options in such an easy to understand fashion. Hopefully this hasn't been asked already: I am leaning towards the extension hose options - mostly for a top link at this time. What are the rear connector sizes for those and do they match with most rear / cylinder options out there? (Looking at one on Amazon). I started looking at various adaptor options and quickly got pretty lost. What a great channel! Thank You!
1/2” is the standard for rear scv’s . Please do the channel a favor and purchase from DiscountHydraulicHose.com/ttwt
We’ve helped to show you the product, we would appreciate your support for the purchase.
Have you heard of “tractor innovation”? I’m curious what you think about his design?
Love the 4-button control on the loader stick. I have a JD2032R and been looking for over a year for a 3rd function and now want rear hydraulics for a flail mower, snow blower and a hydraulic top link. JD OEM is over $1400 just for the 3rd function not counting labor at &138/hr and 6 hrs. The rear 4th & 5th is another $1300 plus. Sounds like the Summit FR3-JD1 would be my solution to get 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th functions on my tractor. If I understand you correctly would this be what I want or need? I only have about 50 hrs seat time and certainly no mechanic but handy enough that I can figure things out. Do you have any videos about the hydraulics for JD2032R?
Get a power beyond kit…then your options are endless via summit kits.
Great video, very helpful. Thank you for posting it.
Tim great video, question what does hydraulics plus mean on a 1025r
Thank You Tim. I am looking for a set of extension hoses to go between the power beyond and the backhoe, I want to adjust the position of the backhoe without getting the tractor all the way mated to the backhoe. Or a second option, do you know of a commercial small electric or gasoline hydraulic pump/valve device I could roll up to the BH and adjust it's position?
Thanks Steve
I’ll work with discounthydraulichose.com z59 configure a set. How long do you think they need to be? I’m thinking 5’ each?
@@TractorTimewithTim yes 5’ was what I was thinking also
Hey Tim, do you have an install video of the front 3rd function from Summit? Looking to put one on as the installation instructions aren’t the greatest from summit. I’m also wondering if a hydraulic line for lowering and raising the mower deck can plug into the summit 3rd function to operate the lower and raise while mowing. -Rick
This is the closest.
Have you already purchased?
If not, I would recommend the power beyond plus summit FRk-jd3 which is a front 3rd function with rear scv’s as well.
Tim, Very informative. Are any of these solutions applicable to Ventrac? The question being how to get more use out of the rear of the ventrac. A suggestion for a future video is to show which non-Ventrac Cat 1 implements are compatible with use by a Ventrac. Thanks.
Hmm. Well, you can use any cat 1 3 pt implement which does not require a PTO.
@@TractorTimewithTim Tim, thanks for responding so quickly. Do the rear hydraulics on the Ventrac need "beefing up" in any of the ways you discuss in the video? Maybe its just me, but I think it would be good visually to see you demonstrate use of non-Ventrac Cat 1 implements, both hyd driven (non-pto) and non-hyd implements, on Ventrac. Thanks again.
Great information presented here
I have a 3.5 ton floor jack... takes a small amount of effort to operate, about time a brute scut hits the market.
Would like to see a solution for a switch on the backhoe joystick so i don't have to turn around to operate a thumb. Thank u for all u do
Easy to do. Maybe I’ll show at some point
like the old 140's you need front, rear and mid. no if's no and's no buts. loader, plow/blower, tiller, grader blade, mower, sickle , belly blade, sweeper, aerator, power dethatcher, field rake, land plane, soil conditioner, slit seeder, broadcast spreader, log splitter, grapple, boom lift
oh and rear high lift bagger or massive capacity bagger(40+ bushel)

Thanks Terry!
I am considering a Summit TFK-JD1 for my 1025r. I do not have power beyond, OEM or aftermarket. The reason I have for choosing a TFK rather than the DVK is for the true 3rd SCV. In my case for a grapple, that would admittedly be used only occasionally.
My question comes from the part of your video that describes a Discount Hydraulics hose set that connects to one of the loader spools to provide a cheap solution for rear hydraulic ports. Would it not be possible then to use the same concept, albeit slightly longer hoses, to instead extend the little used front 3rd function spool to the rear when the grapple is not in use?
Yep. Exactly the same approach is available. The same hose kit from DHH works with either approach.
Excellent video Tim! I'm salivating over that front & rear solution. I didn't understand the controls though. From what I could tell you have 3 rear and 1 front, but you had 2 sets of buttons (for 2 valves) and 2 switches. Are those switches rocker switches? I was thinking you needed two switches just like the two buttons on the joystick for each valve, but if so then you are missing a set of switches for valve 4. Sorry if my question is clear as mud.
Ok, I get your confusion.
We have 4 sets of controls in total. 2 of them are on the joystick (the 4 buttons) the other two are the momentary switches on the box.
On the rear of the tractor, we have 4 valves total. 3 with connectors for the rear. One (the elbows) will be routed to the front for grapple.
The joystick will control the front one, and one of the rears. The momentary switches will control the other two rear valves.
I hope that helps to explain it.
Needing hydraulics and wanting are two big differences. I need them for the front but I want a set for the back too.
That is the best part about the FR2 …front and rear for the price of front only (or close)
Tim, have you seen or heard of anyone using the OEM Deere deck lift to run a grapple arm, or modifying the hyd circuit in that part of Johnny to install a 3rd function? I Ordered my '17 1025R with the hydraulic mower deck lift, it used an electric button below the light switch to lift the deck. I had high hopes that i could form it into a third function, but it was a poor option even for the deck lift. I was not satisfied with it and bought the part so the 3 point lever would control my deck lift.
I do not know. I would not want the grapple control there anyway. You’ll find a 3rd function from summit-hydraulics.com/ttwt to be quite cost effective. Use code ttwt for a five percent discount.
Thanks Tim and Christy for your video's and the great information and explanations!
Thank you for the Bible verses and for honoring Jesus.
Merry Christmas 🎄 May the Lord bless you
Love your videos very professional and informative looks like I will drop some dough on the front and rear.cause I want the top and tilt and a grapple..
