#65 John Deere 1025R No Backhoe, No Problem. Use the Loader and toothbar 

Thanks Ray. Appreciate the comments. God Bless you and yours as well!

Well, it makes sense me. I had no idea how much it would enhance the capability of the tractor. You are right. These videos should illustrate just how powerful they are. ..AND you get a 5% discount with coupon code TTWT @ heavyhitch.com

Requires determination, but it can get the job done!

WooHoo! Congratulations! You’ll love it.

Rough in certain ways, Patrick. There are some things we are careful about. Never ‘RAM’ something at speed.

Tractor Time with Tim Hi Tim, I don’t so much have questions with this as I do another Artillian product. I know that you are well aware of their quality. Have you gotten a chance to use the Artillian stump bucket? I know it mounts on the pallet fork frame. I was thinking about buying it, and was just curious if you had any experience with using one? Thank you in advance sir! Justin N.

Yessir. We used it in this episode: Backhoe Thumb, Front Hoe Bucket; Group Project with 3 John Deere 1025Rs & 3046R!

Yes, not really the best tool for the job. However, it shows that you can accomplish the goal even if you don't have the perfect tool.

+Vincent Sasso yep. Pretty amazing.

Thanks. I'm gonna try to publish more videos this week. I have lots of 'raw video' waiting to be edited. Trying hard to catch up.

great looking forward too seeing them Tim

yea, this would have been easier with the backhoe, but it was entirely do-able with the loader, and could have been even easier if I wasn't being so careful to avoid destroying Patrick's yard.

+Kristina Laboy toothbar is definitely worth it. Improves digging ability tremendously! I like the Heavy Hitch version. Easy to put on and take off....and very tough!

I don't have much 'pull straight up' strength with Johnny.

thanks for the comment.

+Tractor Time with Tim no problem if it is not to much is there any way you could upload a little more if don't worry about keep up the good work

Kadin, are you asking for LONGER videos, or more videos?

+Tractor Time with Tim yes or you could do one long video of the whole weeks work if it not to much to ask

Well, I'm doing the best that I can given time constraints. I'm glad to hear that you like them. Hey, just handle it like the TV networks...go back and watch the 're-runs' :-) I re-watched the "cut pallet racking with the miter saw" this week. Forgot how entertaining Katriel was. She did NOT like the sparks!

Well, the 1 series has MUCH more loader umph than the BX! The 2R loader definitely stronger, but it isn’t radically so. I show lift capacities of each in videos.

There are a couple of different sizes. $299 and $329. See details here: heavyhitch.com/store/replacement-parts/toothbar-for-john-deere-front-end-loader/

For the base model it is 11k and with what all he has I would about 28k

Doug, I suspect it was now that you mention it. I didn't know what it was! Thanks for answering that question. I heard that this flagpole was originally instaled by a professional crew. Given how secure it was, I can safely say that they did an excellent job. There were a couple of issues. First, they put the 'grade' of the concrete too high (hard to drive over). Second, they put the flagpole too close to the driveway. I wouldn't want a flagpole there, I would back into it with my car.

Not the tractor, just the toothbar on the bucket.

+DougStevenz sorry I did not read the rat until it was to late my bad

Yep. Definitely. The point of this video is that you CAN get a task completed WITHOUT forks OR a backhoe. In this case, I didn't have the forks along. I didn't think I would need them on this occasion. Patrick came up with this task on a whim just as we were leaving that evening. Thanks for watching and commenting! Do you have a 1-series? What kind of forks do you have?

I have a 1025R. Forks are 36 inch long. Bucket is 53 wide, 60d deck. I do enjoy your videos, it gives me ideas on what you can do, and thoughts for Christmas presents!

Tractor Time with Tim awesome! I love the 1025R... I can't afford one at the moment so I have to live vicariously through you guys... any idea how much the bucket can lift?

probably 800-1000lb off the ground, but not to full height. I have lifted 1145 lbs about a ft off the ground with the forks. ...but the tractor did not appreciate it. So, different questions "how much WILL it lift, and how much SHOULD you lift with it?"

Tractor Time with Tim lol great, thank you!

Awesome!!! Thank you so much!!

One more question! Where did you get those silver chain hooks on the top of your bucket?

Boltonhooks.com. I don’t have a coupon code for them, but they are inexpensive.

Watch more of our videos...you will see many useful accessories.

That was 4 years ago. I’ve still yet to even ‘ding’ it!

I don't know why they didn't use a crow bar I would have had it out with the lawn perfect

Yea, seems obvious now, doesn't it? Oh well. I had to keep you in suspense.

+Tractor Time with Tim Like your channel very much. Keep up the good work. “Critics are our friends, they show us our faults.” ― Benjamin Franklin

+mndak76 I am still chuckling at your exclamation ..."for the love of Menards!" Thanks for giving me a laugh. subscribers like you make it worthwhile to make these videos.

Ha! ..and I raised it out of there so fast that it looked like an atom bomb, right? (...mushroom cloud...) Oh well, I tried!

That was so cool. Tim
