CLEARING TRAILS WITH JOHN DEERE 1025R

I dub this the Origin Trail.

[@richardobrien4153]

I did something similar on my property, now the grandkids can ride their 250cc ATV thru our woodlands and not rile anyone!😊

[@ArjunFarms]

I hold a "Fall Fest" annually, and set up the trail for my nieces and nephews as a haunted path, and a little candy at the end. This fall/winter, I'll be expanding out to the rest of the property so I can ride the quads myself! Thank for the comment Richard, hope you like the channel and stick around for more videos!

[@jamessedgewick5222]

I appreciate no music, and needless commentary. Thanks for posting.

[@ArjunFarms]

Thanks James - I’ve gotten away from the music and over editing of videos since I first started this hobby. Glad you enjoyed it, hope you stick around for more content, brother💪🏻

[@RichardLisboa]

Great work, the only problem is the stress caused in the front axle, tha weight of the tractor all on the front axle is not the best idea, but worked, i would recommend using the 3 point with a puller :) but nice job and good video :)

[@ArjunFarms]

I agree. It’s not the best way to go about it. I was a rookie back then, really!! Thanks for watching Richard, I should have some more content out soon in the tractor, so I hope you stick around to watch.

[@Haulingforaliving]

4:40 dig into the front of the roots alittle then try pulling it out. 300 pounds + of weight on the back you never would have come off the ground. Great video i love my 1025R

[@ArjunFarms]

I do want me some of those weighted suitcases. Glad you enjoyed the video! Stick around for videos just like this.

[@Haulingforaliving]

@ArjunFarms I picked up 600 pounds a full rack of suitcase weights. I only ever use 4 of them, though. Rare i bust out the other 4. Look up "stump wrecker" by good works tractor that would be great for all those little trees i love mine.

[@shireshenanigans3264]

Nice video! One point though, as a tree felling survivor, PLEASE use your ROPS. Thanks!

[@ArjunFarms]

Shire, I appreciate the genuine feedback. You're right, safety is priority! I hope you stick around and watch my newest upload, plowing snow on the tractor.

[@nseston]

Did you weld the chain hooks to the bucket or is the bucket sold with those already on it? Thanks

[@ArjunFarms]

Hey nseston! I actually installed the hooks myself, they bolt on to the bucket. You just drill the holes using a step bit and tighten the hooks on. As a matter of fact, I have a video on this very subject on my channel called “bolt on hooks for front loader installation”. Check it out, and I hope you stick around for more videos

[@thall6076]

awesome video friend 😊

[@ArjunFarms]

Thank you brother! I appreciate the good-hearted comment. Please stick around to see everything else going on the farm💪🏻

[@OShackHennessy]

I find my 97hp compact track loader does well clearing trails like this also. Probably like swatting flies with a bazooka but hey why not. 😂

[@ArjunFarms]

Whatever gets ‘er done!! Thanks for stopping by OShack💪🏻

[@radharcanna]

Good work. Is there a danger of that chain snapping and striking you on the head?

[@DerekRC]

Nice work 👍🏻. Thinking of getting the 1025R with a loader and backhoe. Are you happy with yours?

[@ArjunFarms]

It’s the best tool I’ve ever purchased - invaluable to the work I do around the property! I’d like to get the backhoe down the road as well. Glad you like the video my brother

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Looking at getting a small tractor like this hopefully this year. Looks like it has done well for you

[@ArjunFarms]

Jon, it truly is an invaluable tool. Thanks for leaving a comment, hope you enjoy the new content.

[@JonsDailyHustle]

@@ArjunFarms I will always enjoy anything with tractors in it lol

[@twbishop]

for small or medium trees and shrubs, a pruning saw or chain saw + herbicide for woody plants should be more efficient and more safe. less soil disturbance too.

[@ArjunFarms]

Hey Thomas, thanks for stopping by and leaving a thoughtful comment. I guess I like to muscle things out, which might not be the best method! I encourage you to check out my latest video, I use the same hooks and chain you see here, but added some counterweight to help out. This was done for my newest project, the permaculture forest! Hope you stick around to watch how it all plays out. -Krsna

[@HomesteadDNA]

Thats a lot of physical labor when you have a tractor to do it for you. some would argue that the herbicide does more damage to the soil than moving it.

[@walterfrazee8875]

Outstanding!

[@ArjunFarms]

Thanks Walter! It was a blast making it.

[@MikeOrazzi]

Nice work. Just keep it cut, otherwise, it all grows back, at least where we are anyway.

[@ArjunFarms]

Yes sir - it gets a pass every time I mow. Now, when I expand this fall, I’ll have to upkeep that too! I appreciate the comment Mike, I hope you stick around the channel💪🏻

[@steliandone4078]

That golden road is beautiful. What state?

[@ArjunFarms]

You should see some of the fields at peak flowering… gorgeous! I’m in upstate New York myself. If you’re into the wonderful plant life, I’d recommend the “Family Wildcrafting Cleavers” video on my channel. Hope you enjoy!! Thank you for the comment.

[@TheJaiDaddy]

Great work! Looks awesome! 100%!

[@ml5668]

Nice job, stumps are gone

[@ArjunFarms]

I appreciate it!

[@christinejevons3403]

Nice job!

[@Andrew-lc3lo]

I've seen a triangle shaped digging attachment on the front for digging out small trees and shrubs, instead of the chain pulling your doing. Much faster.

[@Andrew-lc3lo]

mini stump bucket

[@ArjunFarms]

Hey Andrew, I appreciate you dropping a comment on my video! I’ve seen that stump bucket attachment too, doesn’t look too bad. I’ll be honest, I use that chain method so frequently, and while it works for me, maybe there’s a better way out there. I even used the chain in my latest video, but I also added a carry all and some ballast weight to tackle larger trees and shrubs. Please feel free to watch that one as well, and there’s more to come my friend! -Krsna

[@richardjacques6370]

Great operator but rear ballast would make your life much easier and safer. Your tractor will preform much better. Good stuff

[@ArjunFarms]

I entirely agree! I’m a one man show around here and have plenty of things to spend my money on. I’ll get some of the weight cases soon enough! I appreciate the thoughtful comment, Richard. Hope you enjoyed this video and any others on the channel.

[@richardjacques6370]

@@ArjunFarms I have a ballast box which is much cheaper then weights. I put plastic tubes in each corner to allow shovels or rakes to stored and transported. i have also put a chain saw holder in it and put steel balls for extra weight but rocks or gravel will work. By using 2 inch to 5 inch balls it is only half full. There is space left for chains and a small container of gas and oil for the chain saw. This box can serve many functions for me. As a Last resort you can also make one from concrete.

[@yolala100]

Does "Rear ballast" means anything to you ???

[@ArjunFarms]

You’re telling me the back of the tractors not supposed to lift up like that?? It’s one of them things, Marc. Haven’t gotten around to purchasing the weight cases but will eventually need something like that!

[@yolala100]

@@ArjunFarms Nope, not supposed at all, put way to much weight/stress on the front axle. Just by adding a simple rear attachment can do the job.

[@Samandcocoa]

damn nice wheelly.

[@ArjunFarms]

Ha! Smooth operator😎 now I’ve got ballast to take care of that problem.

[@Samandcocoa]

definitely cool under pressure on that one. i had to look at it twice to make sure i saw it. good job by the way.@@ArjunFarms

[@joshuasmith5837]

You need some attachments for that girl she would and can do so much more.

[@ArjunFarms]

Josh we’re in agreement, that right there’s one of them yeehaws!!!

[@vc8160]

A Ventrac tough cut would have been a better choice!

[@ArjunFarms]

Gettin’ the job done with what we have! Now that the season is changing, I want to expand out my trail system. Hope up you stick around the channel to see what I come up with!

[@Steve-hc7ix]

Rear weight is really needed. Without the weight is why people flip them over. Just saying...

[@ArjunFarms]

Thanks for the comment Steve. You’re not wrong! I have a fix for this at this now - I’ve got it featured in my Carry All Ballast Weight video. Check ‘er out my brother!

[@willie9767]

It will make you lazie

[@ArjunFarms]

Ye ol’ Willie, people like you and I can’t be lazy!! It’s not in our blood. I just posted a new video - a bit different than this but I hope you check it out. Enjoy your day!💪🏻
