Deere 1025r Moving Sentimental Rocks!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Awesome little project there guys. Tim, I wanted to see you man handle that rock at the new location lol. Love the property owners and the American flag. Thank you

0:27 - that is an absolutely massive tree in the background left! Wow. Great video of using those Artillian forks. I love mine!

Yes, that was funny. For someone who didn't care much about the rocks, he sure had a lot to say about where to place the second one!

This is the type of episode that made me subscribe years ago. As always great video!!!!!

[@41dodgee300]

Tim - to fix the ramp so you don't have to use the bar any more, turn the ramp over and run 2-4 beads of welding rod over the bent area at least 6" past the bend in both directions. Grind the rail smooth. This will shrink the rail and straighten it back to its original shape. I use this trick sometimes to straighten welded pieces that deform after welding.

It would be interesting to see how the rock in the back settles after a year or so with the mulch compressing / rotting and the rock settling into the dirt. Also what a perfect verse to end the video on.

To each their own, but from what I could see I would have loved that property they moved away from.

[@leestarling2671]

Great timing with this episode. JUST became a 2038R owner with no experience using forks, FEL, etc. Had a few rocks I’d always wanted to move and started doing it yesterday. I finished moving most (with the bucket) but left the largest ones to practice using the forks. They aren’t anywhere near as large as the ones you moved with the 1025R. I was surprised how easy it handled the large one. Any guess on the actual weight of that thing? Had to be over 500lbs.?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Oh yea, over 500.

[@stedder8436]

Good stuff tim. You’re approaching 120k and I’m approaching 200. Keep up the hard work guys

[@NHHalKnowsHow]

I have a round rock that came from the side of the road into a gravel pit next to my first house I bought in 1983. It's about 30" around and is known as a "pot hole" rock because they end up in a hole in a river and get swirled around enough to wear off all the sharp edges and make them round. I asked the gravel pit owner if I could have that rock if I could have that rock and he told me that if I could move it I could have it. I have moved it to the 7 houses I have owned since. I told my wife I wanted to use it for my headstone but I think it will end up at my daughters house when I no longer have a place for it. This rock holds a very sentimental place in my heart.

[@eosjoe565]

Have you considered taking the ramp to a place that has a shop press and giving it a tweak in the opposite direction? Probably would take less than 10-mins to get it straight enough that it slides in and out of the trailer smoothly.

[@CaptainKleeman]

great job as always. I think maybe one day we need to get our two tractors together and do a side by side comparison of old versus new. our old 755 loves to work! thanks for sharing as always sir.

[@truckerray7533]

Hi Tim, Rodney again. I was wondering, how did ya'll get a hydraulic cylinder on your 3rd link of the 3-point hitch??? What size is the hydraulic cylinder? Are the flow & return lines hooked together in conjunction with the backhoe connection lines? Finally, where did you find the hydraulic cylinder??? Awesome video & thanks for sharing. I ve been i. the process of adding "extintions" to the my johnys backoe levers & as well as the tractor's controls levers! take care & Godbless

The ramp that is bent, put it on a piece of wood at one end, covex side up & drive the larger tractor back over it to straighten it back out, just a thought.

[@Ahennem]

How the heck is he able to pick up these big rocks but i was only able to pick up an engine and transmission on a pallet 2" off the ground? Unless I was tipping forward more than I thought I was. Maybe I need more rear ballast?

That power top link will spoil you Tim .Lol It did me. I had it added to my 4066R now I have it on my 4044R and have one ordered custom made for my X758. Your going to want to add that power top link to all your machines soon. I had Top and Tilt on the 4066R to start, later removed the tilt since I didn't use the power tilt much and needed at least one of my rear hydraulics free for other implements / different task. The power top link is a must have feature now for me. lol I uses the heck out of it with my land plane and simply making hooking up even easier to all my 3pt attachments .

[@DashPar]

Tim, the Mr Rogers of tractors. 😂❤️

[@stonevalleyozark475]

If you have permission you really should take those other 3 rocks home. They are valuable to customers for landscaping pieces.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I have lots of big rocks in my back yard. We’ll start selling some of them at some point.

[@michaeltechroom]

[@brentbrown8393]

I liked the people and the rock job Tim, no big rocks like those around here though. The tractors roof looks to high to me, I would be afraid it would snag a power line. 🙋‍♂️😁 God Bless you both and your wonderful channel Christy and Tim. P.S. When will we see the family again? It's always great to visit with them too. 👍

[@2LateIWon]

They seem like super nice and fun people

[@augustreil]

We sell large rocks and the customer always wants to know why it's so expensive for just a rock. We tell them the rock is free, it's the moving part that costs the money. Before we set them, we always make a little divot for it to sit in, looks more natural. Thumbs up, great job and just for reference, that move would be 350-400 bucks from us.

[@Dusboy7]

Lol. My uncle is obsessed with rocks. I have never understanded this obsession. I could care less about a rock. This video put it into a perspective for me. All though I am not crazy for rocks, I understand where people get the passion.

[@zebmueller290]

[@kevincameron8437]

I had to go move a big rock from my childhood home before they tore it down. It was a cornerstone for a Tobs barn and wan in our front yard for almost 40 years. It’s now in my front yard.

[@johnmedlin5894]

That was so cool of you to move those boulders for them. We have a similar story, my wife had the opportunity to get a boulder from her family's old homeplace. The boulder was actually the back door step at her grandparents back porch, and we know that it was placed there at least 80 years ago. In fact, her uncle who is now 93 remembers them dragging this boulder from the river bottom with horses or mules. My wife even found pictures of herself as a small child (5 or 6 years old) sitting on that boulder/step. Over time, the boulder was worn to a rectangular shape, and it has a greenish patina to it. It now resides in one of our natural areas. If I had to guess it probably weighs around 600 pounds, maybe more, not sure. My wife has already said, when we sell our house as we retire and down size, the boulder is going with us.

[@wulfjason]

Tim, do you think the grapple would have had enough hydraulic grip to get these rocks? Do you have any videos using the grapple with these big rocks? I've seen your videos with the large logs. In the end do you think the grapple is a better tool for this job? I'm looking at buying my first 1025r and want to make a boulder wall but was worried the grapple would not be strong enough to lift them.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The grapple can grip heavy rocks easily. Just make sure you get a lightweight one like the mini322 from agfolks or the Artillian. Do not get a heavy Titan, or your lift capacity will be compromised.

[@wulfjason]

@@TractorTimewithTim what are your thoughts on the 3rd function compared to the diverter kit? Since you've had both.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

On 1025r, they both operate basically the same. I know that sounds simplistic, but it is true. If anything, I prefer the diverter!

[@GrampysTractor]

New top link looks and works great. Those rocks will settle into the ground like a big fluffy bed and never rock again. Those other rocks didn't look as big as the rock you picked up a couple of years ago.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ha! Yea, that one was HUUGE!

Sentimental rocks? What, were they Pet Rocks from the 70's that they planted, and now they're full grown?

[@HardwayRanch]

I don't understand how that little tractor can move such a big rock without falling on its face? I have a New Holland TC29D with the front loader and when I try to pick up a rock about that size, or even smaller, I have to keep the bucket just inches off the ground because my tractor WILL fall on its face from the slightest bump or slowing!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Do you not have rear ballast? Did you notice that we have well over 600 lb on the back of our tractor?

[@HardwayRanch]

@@TractorTimewithTim I have a 5' brush cutter I put on for ballast - it helps. Still makes me pucker-grip the seat when the rar tires start floating!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Well, not enough ballast then. Look at your manual. These tractors require a large amount of ballast. Often similar to the lift capacity on the front loader. Get yourself some heavier ballast. You’ll be amazed at how much better the machine will handle.

[@HardwayRanch]

@@TractorTimewithTim Time for me to make a ballast box, huh.

[@HardwayRanch]

@@TractorTimewithTim Sent my tractor back to the dealer to have the 3rd function installed and while there they filled the rear tires with beet juice. I asked to have all four tires filled but they refused to fill the front! Curious... Anyways, this will buy me more time to make a 3-point hitch ballast box.
