Great concept. Have you considered making an actual metal grab bar?

I just bought two heavy-duty hooks from Tractor Supply and welded them to the top of the bucket. Quick and simple and way cheaper.

Good job Ken. Looking forward to receiving yet another BOH improvement kit for my 4066R.

Very nice Kenny, super addition to the door shock!!

Nice accessory Ken!

Mr Ken on another subject, Can’t believe you and tractor Tim haven’t came up with a control to make that dumb tredel pedal work as a normal tractor and the Green tractor.

awesome product, just got my springs after bottoming out and jamming my back, i intertwined the old ones with the boltons and works like a charm , thanks

This is great. Maybe you can create a round handle like is on the left side that is above the right side control panel. I use the handle on the left door to mount my tablet, phone, and other items, but being mounted on the right would be much better. I have the JD tablet mount for the right already, but I much prefer a handle on the right door as it would put the tablet much farther forward in the cab. Maybe a handle that connects from the right hinge to the door latch somehow?

Great tour! Thanks Ken! 😀

Thanks Ken!! Love mine. My only add is I used 2" painters tape to help hold my hinge in place. Had no helpers. I have fender flares and I wish I had covered the fender flare to fender joint with tape so I didn't have to spend time getting the drill shavings out! Thanks again. Get addition!!

@ken Deckleman you have a nice product. Well executed and local. Can I purchase a set for my Yanmar SA325?

About 1-hour install super easy !! Don't really need any grab bar because this door is used mostly from outside anyways !! Right ? Love It !! Couldn't be any happier and I'm sure your buddy tractor time with Tim will be making his video soon !!

Great Job Ken !! Got my right hand door kit today just watched this video so I'm going to install it now !! Everyone has been asking John Deere for years since the 20 series before the R line series !! In fact EVERY Tractor manufacture, with any sort of cab has both doors that stay open with a hydraulic shock and of course John Deere had to be different ! So what if it cost Deere an extra hundred dollars little things like that is where you stand above and beyond the rest don't think John Deere cares much anymore about the little guy ! Just like my 3039R brand new 2022 model and the loader leaks of so fast meaning if I'm hold a log with my hydraulic Grapple attachment, the loader is on the ground in less than 10 mins therefore yes I'm always in that right door lifting it back up using the hydraulics also for the mid mount mower I have when hooking it up you have to get in there and adjust the lift sometimes just a pain in the yep ! So I found out on the loaders for the hydraulic valve control under the cab is an outsourced Chinese valve, body with no O-rings, and almost every one of them now leak off !! The 4R are different and apparently they hold a lot better. Maybe it's a valve body made in the US that John Deere had to spend a little more money on ? In fact, my mower deck leaks off all the way to the ground in two minutes because yes, it goes through that third function through that same valve body ! I even took it to the dealership and they told me they replaced the valve body because they did the hydraulic leak down test and it didn't fall into the specs that John Deere excepted so they replaced it but it still does the same thing !! Here's something cool that a lot of people don't realize and I even called Summit hydraulic about this Kabota and bobcat. Use a hydraulic splitter valve to make your loader a self leveling loader by a flick of a switch in the cab. How cool is that so this valve body will split the flow between the lift cylinders and the tilt cylinders and make the lift level up and down and if you don't want to use that feature just shut the switch off !! Kubota Skid loaders have it ! My brothers bobcat has it ! For a tractor that cost $60,000 for three series and almost $100,000 for four series. When do you think you could afford a $500 hydraulic valve to make everyone's life easier if you're going to be doing loader work with the pallet forks like everyone does . As a matter of fact, Ken, another super cool feature I added to my 3039R is the swivel seat. You can call the manufacture up in Minnesota. They make all the swivel seats for every single tractor manufacture case IH, John Deere new Holland all of them you give them the seat number that is on the back of your seat in your tractor and they will send you that pacific swivel so it bolts right on it and for my tractor it only lifted the seat 1 inch higher, and since I have an air ride seat that was no problem at all !!

How about designing a RH Door grab-bar next?!

Excellent video Kenny!!

Good work Kenny. Great addition to these JD cab tractors.

Looks like another well designed high quality product, Ken! Nice job!

Kubota should've just punched out slots like the roll-back trucks have

Still sell these?

You show removing all the lines. Could you just remove one port for an accurate reading?

I would have run the bolts upward No cutting...

Very interesting seeing these manufactured.

Would love to do this for a Mahindra 4550 Tractor with 72" bucket. Somewhat of an odd shape bucket at top with angles and essentially a "box" design with 1/8" steel. You can see the raised weld marks across entire back of bucket before going to single wall which may be 1/4" but I'd really like to keep the grab hooks at the top of the bucket instead of folding the bucket downwards to expose the grab hooks about 6" down the back of bucket.

.nice video. Need those hocks

Hows it held up?

Is there enough clearance to use this hook with your bucket mounted bolt on Clevis mount hardware?

I got mine for health and age reasons, just that easy to install, works with the load and go, no problem ! Glad I did !!!

Making it way more technical than it has to be. Measure, drill, install. Done.

Kenny, any idea when these gauges are coming back in stock?

Didn’t know you had a channel. Subscribed now. Thanks Ken

Straight forward process. Good demo.

Just installed my yesterday. Great product, bud!

Great looking for a chain do want with a chain shortener didn't know how would've work .Thanks for posting

ive noticed my 4x4 light will bounce on and off a bit when driving around in 2wd. can i tighten this up?

Thanks!

Ken, I purchased one of these steps and I'm impressed with the quality of the item. Unfortunately I can't get it on my 1025R. I have spent over an hour trying to remove the bolts with no luck. I've tried WD-40 and penetrating oil using a 1/2" breaker bar with a pipe extender and also my impact wrench. Nothing is working. Is it a possibility they used left hand threaded bolts in 2015? I'd really like to get the step installed! Obviously mine are tighter than what I saw in your video here and the other youtube videos. Everyone seems to have bolts either pre loosened or very under torqued in their videos. Any ideas?

awesome, any idea where i can get these. they would be perfect to go with my winch setup i use for off-road recovery as well as getting firewood.

I absolutely love these things. They save so much frustration from having the chain come unhooked after you have climbed back on the tractor only to find you are only dragging a log chain. 2 thumbs up on this product Ken. I am also a big fan of your bolt on hooks which I proudly display (and use) on my Kubota L2501. I show them off in several of my videos.

Ken I ordered the bolt on hooks for my new JD 2038 Standard bucket, the dealer replace that bucket with the heavy duty bucket because they damaged the original one. My question is do I just need longer bolts to install my hooks? The upper part of the bucket is boxed in. Thank you

some of the best hardware out there 5 Stars all the way, Ken is a great guy

Hi Ken will this setup fit a new Kubota LX 2610 Deluxe

Since they come from Ken....they have got to be good!

Will this work for a JD 2320 (earlier ver of 2025R) Why is the step so small? A few more inches left to right would be more comfortable for us wide foot folks LOL

Thanks for this video Ken. That was fascinating. I am in total agreement with Matt. Hands down better from America than China.

who would have thought, thank you for sharing Ken, that was awesome to watch!

New subscriber Ken. I have these on 3 of my chains and will be getting them for every chain that I own. They work extremely well and sure beat having to climb on and off the tractor to rehook. I did a couple videos of what I consider to be "best buys" and I feature these hooks on those videos. These certainly qualify as a Best Buy. Thanks Ken

Thank you! I actually didn’t even know where the four-wheel-drive lever was. 🤫

Is that forging business in Northumberland Pa? Looks like their building. When the hammer is operating you hear it blocks away.

Good to see American manufacturing in action! Buy American, support America! That’s money in all of our pockets! BTW, great products Ken!

observation: @10:13 the holes don't line up? How? After all that tine with jigs and clamps. Doesn't happen in my shop. But why use a file? I'b bolt one side then drill thu the other side. Go slowly not to break the drill bit. On Deere steel you'd be filing all day. Then again mine are welded.
