The people calling this abuse are the same ones that drive lifted trucks but never take them off-road. As much as I would love to keep my tractor looking new and scratch free, it's a tractor and I bought it to work.

@parker8453 2 года назад

I don't own a tractor, but my philosophy on equipment/tool use is: Quality machinery should stand up to hard use. If it doesn't then it's not a quality piece of machinery. If you pay budget prices then you get budget results. If you maintain the item properly then you're in the right.

@GPOutdoors 2 года назад

Morning Courtney. Really helpful episode for us - especially newer owners. I agree. Tractors USED TO BE designed only for pulling. That is not the case anymore. They are DESIGNED and ENGINEERED to pull, push, lift and dig now. LOL - I will never forget the first time I tried to use and learn how to use a stump bucket. Yup, it was enough to make you wince. But hey, I figured it out like any other new attachment - the more you use it, the more you understand how to use it correctly. But for sure, I work mine hard too - I don't abuse it - cost me way too much money to abuse. But I make it work hard - everyday. That's why I bought it. Thanks again - Got sun here for the weekend- if you need me, you know where to find me - outdoors. :)) Cheers!

My lil Jonny gets the best of care. All fluids changed on time, greasing, filters, washed, waxed, etc. Even sleeps in a heated space...That said, when lil Jonny and I are out in the yard, it's time to work. It gets used for everything it was made to do. Digging, pulling, lifting, mowing, blowing, pushing on whatever terrain I need to put it in. It isn't a commercial tractor, but in my residential world it works like one. Call that abuse if you want, I call it putting a great tool to good use. Lil Jonny works and plays hard, but is well taken care of at the end of the day. If you do, that it will take great care of you. Thanks for doing what you do sir.

@hammerandnails73 2 года назад

I was watching and then I was like hey, that was me that said that! So many tractor Karen's say this is abuse will go over on fluid changes and don't own. Grease gun. 🤣 I guarantee your tractors are pampered more than most! Keep up the good works! 👍

Oh yeah.... that guy with the shiny tractor and clean garage floor treating his tractor like that old vintage car that's parked eleven months out of the year. Your right Courtney, there is a huge difference between abuse and getting the job done with common sense. Keep up the great videos... your using green and orange, not red and blue lol. My 2018 2025R has 808.6 hours on it as of yesterday, pride and maintenance tops soap n wax...

@TelescopeJunky 2 года назад

Courtney they would not want to see me using the GWT stump bucket digging out limestone boulders! It handles with the ease. Still using the original cutting edge even after who knows how many boulders, lost count long ago. Have not damaged anything and I do it just like you were with the roots in your video. Excellent point about backing up with the tractor, even pushing to much with the 3PH can cause damage. Some tractor models handle pushing with the 3PH better than others. Just be careful like you said. Great video as always!

@osagejon8972 2 года назад

The problem is people know so many things that just aren't so. Stump buckets are tougher on a loader than moving mulch but not abusive. Most tractor owners will never wear out their machine in their lifetime unless they use them commercially, so some hard use becomes less of an issue. Keep up the good work Courtney.

@deanbarr5740 2 года назад

Maybe you should put a new "intro" to each new video like Hollywood does, "no harm was done to these machines". I value and trust your decisions on tractors Courtney. I'm 60 years old, I hope to never get too old to learn something new. I always appreciate your videos.

@terryengjr 2 года назад

The loader and tractor are designed by engineers and years of experience. It will not let you lift anything that the tractor and axle is not rated for. It's not abuse. It's normal use. Keep up the good work and videos.

@silverbackag9790 2 года назад

It’s called a loader and not a digger or a hoe. Designed to load loose materials.

I have a case 1494(David brown tractor with case on it) some older lady came up to the house to buy eggs from my wife and she’s talk about how abused the tractor looks because it is not kept in a garage after awhile of this I got fed up told her “if she doesn’t like it then I will gladly take all donations you have to create a place for it and fix it, until then it will continue working”

@n2daair23 2 года назад

So, I realize that the last couple of years have been quite the challenge for some of us, and absolutely horrible for many who have had to deal with loss of family and property. I’m stunned, however, at the amount of general rudeness, hate, and complete lack of kindness that seems to be one of the worst underlying consequences of living through this whole mess. And I mean it’s EVERYWHERE!!! Unfortunately, it’s become the norm, for me anyway, to just expect to be treated poorly, and receive shitty service or product by damn near everyone I encounter these days. Folks have flat out forgotten how to be kind and pleasant while conducting their everyday routine’s. 😢 This is just a prime example of how “ready” people are to jump down someone’s throat and vent the built up frustration we are ALL experiencing. Stress is quite damaging to one’s health.

I just bought one of your stump buckets for our school, and boy, that thing is a beast! I removed a 20-inch oak stump in about 30 minutes. Thanks for the safety tips. The only complaint I have is that there is a bit of a learning curve, but once you understand its use, it does a great job!

@robertkeime4907 2 года назад

Ignore the haters. I have a 70 hp skid steer and stump bucket. Your use and technique and bucket was appropriate for your size of equipment. Digging stumps is a difficult task for any machine ….. you just need to work within the capabilities of the machine.

@JohnsRandomVids_US 2 года назад

I have a Yanmar SA424 and it has "popped" 30+ stumps, of varying sizes and difficulty, out of the ground along with everything else I use it for. Should I use it for that? Not necessarily. Does it work wonders and save me tons of time and money when I use patience and some common sense? Absolutely. Thanks for the level-headed response and good tips to the more 'novice' users.

@jenniferfoster787 2 года назад

We bought this little Stump "Wrecker" for our Kubota 2380 a year ago. In short, money well spent! It has paid for itself in work/man hours saved. (And yes, probably for Physical Therapy / Rehabilitation for pulled muscle / tissue.) And would recommend this attachment 24/7... 365! David & Jen P.S. Suggest you buy an additional sacrificial blade. For the work we have done with our mini.... I should have thought 5 years ahead and bought an extra blade (because I know / I feel it will need replacing about that time).

@elained9591 2 года назад

I never thought of the way you use your tractors as abuse Mr. Courtney, never. I’m rarely in 2 wheel drive because of our property. So I will need to watch out for that, thanks! My dealer had me send many videos to him when I was first using the grapple moving logs so he could show customers various sizes of logs. One learns quickly to have enough counter weight on the little guys and not to lift excessively high for the weight. One thing to note, I had to get a new differential. It wasn’t anything I did as I’m old and low and slow is my motto nowadays. It used to click all the time and then it started clicking and jumping a wee bit. One day it felt like I was on a horse that kicked out with both hind legs to the side, not fun. Though I’d been taking it back several times, they couldn’t replicate it. This last time they called me down and in less than a minute and five feet it finally did it in front of the mechanics. Fortunately they didn’t discount where I thought the issue was just because I’m a female. There was a lot of discussion on what they thought it might be but went ahead and looked at the differential and the gears were shot! The only thing they could come up with was inaccurate installment. They’d never seen a differential on a newer tractor in the shape it was in. But It doesn’t click and buck anymore and I’m having to get used to the new sound it makes.

You are spot on! Every tool has a use and you are using your tools to the best of their ability! I personally appreciate your videos so I know the capabilities of my 1025r! If I see you do it I know my tractor is meant to accomplish the task! Again Brother keep doing what you do!

@daviddewilde8041 2 года назад

Hello, Nice video, and I totally agree with you on what concernes the stump bucket use and other R&D built in safety features. But I would never mount the widest wheel spacers. They are very efficient for stability but they will reduce rear axle life time by half and they do come in to our J.D. repair shop here in Belgium with leaks and premature damage. They are comparable to what you mentioned in this video having a too long stump bucket and not having enough rod length in te cilinder. I'm not allowed to go into detail, but the axles just aren't made for this use. We refuse warranty when we see them mounted. Cheers from Belgium.

@ProductiveRecreation 2 года назад

Great points, especially regarding the extension of the curl cylinders. My Ford 1700 tractor is 40 years old and has worked hard and done great through it. It isn’t pretty, but it runs well and does the job. The loader frame is welded and sistered with steel angles where it has cracked from hard use and fatigue from vibration over 40 years (2 cylinder diesel isn’t as smooth as modern 3 cylinder machines), the bucket has been welded too. Otherwise, it keeps humming along and taking what I throw at it.

@billmccoy3666 2 года назад

Because of your videos, I got BORA wheel spacers for my VERY tippy RK21 that I lifted a wheel off the ground more than once. When I lifted BOTH left tires off the ground just hitting a small dip on sloped gound, and ALMOST went over, I got 2" spacers. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I also filled my rear tires with -20 degree winshield washer fluid beforehand that helped with the FEL, but not the tip-over danger. I also learned from another video (yours I think) to put some weight material in the FEL when using my boxblade. THANKS!!

I recently purchased the stump bucket. I think the lead time said 6 weeks but got it in just over 2 weeks. Great product and was able to dig some smaller stumps in my yard and will use to remove stumps and roots in food plots at our hunting property. I agree, the tractor itself will limit you when you try to push it too far. I bought the tractor to do real work and that is what I saw when you were digging the roots and stumps and it has worked really well for me on my 2032R.

@sethwhitelaw1994 2 года назад

Just beginning to learn what my tractor can do, but you are right - slow down, pay attention, and I would add listen. I've found that the tractor will let me know when it is struggling. When it does, I back off and try another angle. Also the points about working in low and knowing when to use 4-wheel drive are equally important (and highlighted in the manual).

@comlbbeau 26 дней назад

I can attest to the issues that may arise with backing an implement on the three-point hitch. Using my box blade in reverse, moving a full volume of dirt, I bent the turnbuckle style stabilizer arms, not once, but twice. The first time I noticed the damage, though minor, it was a mystery as to what caused it. Live and learn. After experiencing the problem a second time, rather than repairing the turnbuckle, I opted for retrofitting the three-point hitch with the telescopic style arms, which are much more robust. The hitch, though somewhat capable in reverse use, is designed for pulling, not so much pushing.

@frankpaglianite4158 2 года назад

Totally agree I love this little tractor and use it as much a possible. After owning it for only 9 months I had a 150 hours on it with out any issues and I worked it hard but not abused it I built a stump bucket for it and kept it short for the reasons you mentioned. I dug out a 20 old cherry tree stump that was 24 inches across in very rocky soil here in north east Pa with no problem at all had to roll it away to avoid damaging the tractor. JD 1025 R

She has tow maxed out trailers from the Gulf Up to the Middle East coast… an RV up and down the East Coast repeatedly… and that Same RV from the East Coast up to the Pacific NW over multiple mtn chains… down hwy 101 to The Cali Redwoods… then out to Moab, UT for some serious off-roading trails… then over all of them mtn chains and many national parks back to the East coast. I am now sitting in the mountains in Virginia in the RV actually. I just take care of it… go slow… and keep it well within its limits.

@johnsoby3083 2 года назад

I am a heavy equipment operator. That is what I do for a living really the only abuse I see here is on the operator. Is the tractor kind of small dig some of those stumps out? Maybe, the only thing that’s really going on here is it just takes longer to do the job and has already was said when the implements are long and you’re pulling in yanking on some thing that’s when you have to worry about damaging the tractor. Like you said it is very short and stubby which helps with the leverage. Other than that nothing really wrong with what he’s doing everybody just thinks it’s abuse because of its size it really takes some work to get those stumps out of the ground.

@williamlaird2136 2 года назад

I didn't read the comments from the last video but based on what you read, what do you do with a tractor? Park it in a garage or shed, polish the paint once a week and gee it sure is pretty! Don't ever use it but it looks good. Now who am I going to pay to dig out those stumps? I used to be able to do it myself but injuries and age keep me from doing this sort of labor. Oh yeah, I really would like to get the stump out before my grandkids grow up. What a joke! All the armchair, non-tractor owning trolls attempting to interject their stupidity into a well done job! Don't need their a$$hat comments. Go back to your armchair in the basement and have another latte! Keep at it, Courtney! You are USING the tractor for WORK! Like your videos!

As to your remark on using four wheel drive all the time I agree. Along with the wear and tear. And the front wheels being hard on the turf while mowing. I have noticed a big difference in fuel economy. Especially while mowing or running at high RPMs. At $5.50 a gallon for diesel it makes a difference. And no I wouldn't call that abuse.

So that hd stump bucket... Getting antsy to abuse my 4 series 😉 and wondering if we'll see it in time for the dry season here in the PNW

Courtney As a retired engineer you are right on. The hydraulics and structure are designed for this "abuse". Sacrificial piece are designed so as not to overload. As long as there are no add ons to sup it up then alls good. Now it doesn't mean that there won't be design issues for unforseen uses, 😉.

The largest form of abuse can be letting someone borrow it! It's a lot less nerve racking just go give them a hand and operate it yourself. I have one friend that I will allow to use my tractor, but he owns the same model as I do, he just doesn't have a backhoe. He also has operated tractors a lot longer than me. Other than that, no one is using my machine unless I am present.

Great video! I totally agree. The people saying that possibly don't even own a tractor. Who knows. Lol. You are just using and experimenting with your equipment. We all get to learn along with you. A skidsteer is bigger and can do more but it jumps around too. Lol

Great info. Johnny X outcome... TBD. You don't know until you try. Someone has to explore the unknown. Not me.. Bigger hydraulic pump.. for sure..

I used my tractor for all kind of work, from plowing the field to removing stumps and rocks

You're telling me you don't wash, wax, and go over that tractor with a feather duster every time you put it up? That's just cruel. :)

@bay9876 2 года назад

Thanks for the reality check on Tractor abuse or any abuse. It's dirty hard work but the tractor gets it done as it's designed to do.

Well after 4 years of owning a compact Kubota and being a first time owner and user, I still consider myself a novice and a learner; definitely not an expert in any way. Further my setup is a lot of money for and to me. I want this to be a lifetime investment for my family and I to make our lives easier. I am very, very respectful to my tractor. I am careful and cautious and gingerly explore its capabilities and limits to optimize the balance between conserving its capabilities and longevity against maximizing its use m efficiency, and capabilities. So, I am vigorous when I need to be but I am probably more cautious than I need to be. I do not want to have to pay for costly repairs when I do not need to. I mean I wash and wax my tractor a couple of times over the summer. Mine is almost exclusively for personal snow clearing. I can assure you that I would not have sunk in excess of $70k on my setup if I had to keep it in bubblewrap. Perhaps my perspective is invalid which I will leave for others to judge. But I agree with you. Use, but do not be cavalier about making good use of your significant investment. Excellent work and perspectives, as always, sir.

We always used to wrap chains around trees and shrubs and yank em out with the loader. Dunno if its right or wrong, but it worked and never seemed to hurt the tractors any.

You handle the cryers well.

@brandtjustsayin 2 года назад

AMEN! A tractor is supposed to be USED. I just dug a giant stump out of a friend's yard today with my 1025r w/front end loader and backhoe. If I could post a pic here I would. Took a little longer than a giant excavator or full sized backhoe. But it got the job done WAY faster than a shovel, spade, pickaxe, chainsaw, and an aging back. Job done!

@randyhill4549 2 года назад

Courtney, only one thing I'd change in this video. At the end, you use the much overused "Stay Safe." Try this one next time: "Be bold! Be adventurous!" LOL

Keep on working, some people just don’t get it. Geez

@frederickburns1739 2 года назад

Courtney, I as a retired farmer would not say you were abusing your little lawn tractor. But definitely you are shorting its life span. I have read about those little tractors breaking in half!?!?!? When I was farming I had a D6 CAT for the abusive work. Thats where CAT made its name.

@markschmaus5580 2 года назад

My lil tractor 🚜 sits in the garage 12 months out of the year all nice and shiny. Only plow snow with it lol

@aronbraswell1589 9 месяцев назад

where you hit the front frame of the tractor on the stump. could that move the quick connect mower deck hooks on the front back to contacting the tie rod steering bar? not much clearance there to begin with? asking because I just bought a 2014 john deere 1026 and the back of those front hooks rub on the tie rod bar. how do you fix this issue? have learned so much from your vids keep up the great work

@philliptanner5313 2 года назад

Helped dig a walkout basement with a 45 horse kioti tractor and the smallest tracked skid steer I've ever seen through tennessee clay. Couldn't believe they could do it but they did.

@petercampbell4220 2 года назад

I learned on my 4600. I did abuse it, broke things and fixed them. Glad I learned how to operate, thank you john deere, a lesser machine would have broken easier. Still have it and a new machine

@Digidoc316 2 года назад

Got a 1025R with the backhoe. Have used both and I prefer the backhoe. Would like to see a pump with bigger gears so I can operate two circuits simultaneously; such as lift/lower and dump/curl to maintain a level bucket. Don't need more pressure, just volume. Besides the belly mower, do they make attachments for the mid PTO like a power generator or an auxiliary hydraulic pump for 3rd functions?

@projectswithjw Год назад

Hydrosplus has several pump upgrades to solve that problem. You can make 4 motions with the backhoe simultaneously with biggest pump.

@Takman74 2 года назад

Great video Court. I’d like to ask about the GWT stump bucket. Is it possible to use that to dig out stones? Maybe up to 2-300lbs? I’m looking to level some land at my cabin. Tractor is a CK3510. I know In a perfect world an excavator would be the way to go, however I can’t justify the cost for just a few small jobs. Therefore I’m wondering what you’d recommend. I was also thinking just a set of short pallet forks. I’m sure glad I watched this video. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Courtney. Do those mirrors work really well??? Are there any type of vibration at idle, at mid range running, or even at high range running??? Im looking to put a set on my 1025R. . . . but i do not want any type of vibration at all when trying to use the mirrors, at any running/operating range!
