I have the deere root grapple. The benefit of your setup is that you move everything with the bucket without leaving anything behind. With the root grapple, you can selectively pick up the big stuff and leave the dirt, small stone, or compost behind. Just different tools, each with its own benefits.
Good video brother. I like your style. Maybe you could do a video on the Summit Hydraulics setup on your tractor since I think this may be the next upgrade for my 1025R. Thanks.
I bought a used backhoe for $4k and the brackets were around $1300, power beyond was around $200. So about $5500 all in for me. New from the dealer, you’re looking at around $8500. 260b Backhoe Subframe installation (John Deere 1025r) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rs5pS7NSgpM.html
What do you suggest for chain storage? Where do you keep yours? Right now I have a 20 foot towing chain, laying on the floorboard of the tractor… there really isn’t any room to put a secondary toolbox especially when you have a backhoe like I do
I don’t keep a chain on the tractor. I have a few 10’ chains that use to tie down the tractor on my trailer that I keep in the box on the front of the trailer. If I need one to use with the tractor, I just grab one and throw it in the bucket. But Good Works Tractors sells some chain boxes that mount to your quick hitch, if you have one.
@@atticafireman I’m my opinion, not really. There are a lot of different styles of grapples though. I’m sure there would be certain types that are better than others at certain things, but in my eyes, the best grapple is the one that is always there. I love mine.
