Next time you drive over a stump or big rock, just use your backhoe to pick up the rear of the tractor and move it to the side of the obstruction. Have not done this myself (yet), but have seen it done many times. I get my 2022 1025r with loader, 60d deck and backhoe this Tuesday (yay). Had to wait two extra weeks to get it delivered to the dealer.
Hey Frank, great video. I bought my tractor from Stanton Equipment in Windsor locks before they where bought out by United Ag and Turf. Just an FYI about the rops, I see you have a towel on the backhoe to prevent it from damaging it. I believe that the second set of holes on the rops is there to prevent the bar from hitting the backhoe in the stowed position. At least that’s what I’m assuming because that’s where I put my pins and it doesn’t hit the backhoe.
@@FrankDiNardi Load the tires for sure. Wheel spacers are popular. If that's not enough bolt on wheel weights. Regular pallet forks puts the weight closer to the pin so you can lift more. Great job on the video looks like fun.
Hey Frank, I’ve been researching this tractor and finally ordered it last week. No loader, as I have a 55 hp New Holland that has a loader for doing heavier work. Just got it with the 60” mower deck as I have about 4 acres to mow. Really enjoying your videos. You’re so excited about your tractor. Just refreshing to see that!
Hey Steve thanks so much for the comment, congratulations you are going to freaking love the thing! If I had more grass to mow I would definitely get the mower deck someday!
One of the first things i did when i got .y JD 1025r was fill the tires, both front and back. I picked up 16 cases of -45 c washer fluid on sale for $2.99 (can) per jug bulk price. My brother and i did both my 1025r and his Kubota BX in just under 2 hours. Huge diference in the stability. Low cost ballast that doesn't add weight to the load the tractor must carry.
@@FrankDiNardi Agree it is a great tractor and you are doing amazing with it!! Please don't forget the ROPS, I've seen first hand how easy it is to put one of those on it's side. ''''''''it happens fast and when you least expect it. Stay safe and keep up the good work!!
I am buying a 12 acre tree farm and looking to get the 1025R since I will not need to mow large acres, just between the tree rows. Which are 7-8 foot apart.
Hey David. I see what you’re talking about and that’s actually the camera. It’s making it look like the cutting edge is bowed like that. That GoPro shoots in a super wide angle so all of the lines are not necessarily straight.
@@Slideways24I agree, stump removal has a few tricks when using a subcompact back hoe. An 8" stump removal was one of the first tasks that I did with my 1025r. Was a lot of learning taking place, after owning a 6 ton excavator I had a lot of things to learn.
Great video Frank! I hear more and more about issues with the GoPro 9 and/or 10. Not sure what the issue is but it may be time to dump it for something else. Can't imagine how frustrating it is to lose footage?? All the best!!
I’d be pissed! DJI makes an action camera that is pretty good, I think I’m just so used to the GoPro that it would be really hard for me to change but yes super frustrating!
Burn it all! We have a wood stove. Been here 2 years in august. We have 2, 125 gallon propane tanks for the forces hot air heat. One is 70% full and the other 40.
