This has been a great series. It has really showcased just how much work one of these tiny tractors can do. And yes, a bigger tractor would do most of these jobs faster...in the places where the bigger tractor could fit. But y'all have been putting this tractor into some tight spots where the bigger tractors just won't go to showcase that value and then using it to tackle the typical big tractor jobs as well.

I work a steep road on a 70 foot drop off with my tractor. The first thing I do is fasten my seat belt! I am also very cautious with the tractor brakes. If one side grabs you can find yourself in a deadly situation. I was holding my breath watching Tim relying on the tractor brakes to prevent him from going over the side. Crazy!

[@cdee6096]

Tim. You get considerably more upward pulling force with the 3 point hitch. I often have used a strap and pulled up posts with the hook on the quick hitch.

Always heard on double wall bucket it’s best to weld , drilling can allow moisture inside and start rusting.

[@simpleman4196]

Glad to see you starting to appreciate the box blade Tim. Honestly I think the tool you need for that job would be a good rear scrape blade. I think in general a good rear blade is underappreciated. For your scenario a blade would be the best tool. You could pitch the one corner down and angle it out to dig your ditch and windrow the dirt to the low side. However doing good with what you have 👍

Tim I stumbled upon your channel comparing tractors bc I am searching for perfect work horse. I hated John Deere mainly bc they had all this proprietary items and made you go to the dealership for everything, wouldn’t let farmers work on their own equipment or anything but now I’m finding it hard for other companies to compete . I’m in love with the 1025R 😂 you and all your dang reasoning and logic .! 😅. Thank you for all your information! I work 11 hours a day. I have my ear buds in listening to your video 98% of the time.

[@craigpuetz7020]

Watching you install both the hooks and the bolt on hitch - you did not tighten the bolts to nearly a high enough toque. Bolts do not carry load in shear, they clamp the surfaces together and carry the load through friction. Your ratchet handle isn't nearly long enough for the size of hardware used, even if it weren't Grade 8. If you want the hardware to last you need to look up the torque spec and use it. If you cannot find a proper torque wrench you can estimate - 100 ft-lbs of torque would be 50 pounds of pull on a 2 foot handle. If you have the crew go back with a breaker bar and a piece of pipe you will greatly extend the life of the new parts. It might make an interesting segment when you are home - tighten some larger capscrews (1/2, 5/8, Grade 5) by hand. Then use a torque wrench and see how much more force is needed.

[@aprilgeneric8027]

you need rock base like class 2 or it will allllllll wash away in the first good heavy rain. lessons learned from cutting paths thru forrest with similar soil type along the mississippi river. if you dig it about 6" down into the hill with trench sides it will hold up better, but there is still the wash out problem, but it's easier to repair bringing all the material back up the road, rather than losing it down the side of the slope. losing it on the slope some one will try and push their luck and end up going down the slope in a vehicle and alot of those slopes are lethal before they can recover from their mistake if they don't get hung up at a slow speed first.

[@chrissterling3225]

Hello Tim and family…I made my own bolt on hooks for my gc2310 . The only thing I set up different is I put a 3rd hook in the center..as well as a D ring inside the bucket that lines up with the bolt pattern of the upper hook . Lifting heavy stuff dead center makes the stress equal on the loader arms and keeps the tractor more stable when lifting…less chance of lifting up a rear tire as you experienced in your video . I use the D ring often as well…especially when using ratchet straps…as the hooks on the strap connect to the ring . And tho it hasn’t happened (yet lol) should a strap break…under force…it’s more likely to aim inside the bucket like a catchers mitt . Just food for thought

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The center of the bucket is the weakest point. That is why we avoid it.

[@chrissterling3225]

@@TractorTimewithTim you are correct to an extent…the lifting capabilities of these subcompact tractors does not exceed the strength or construction of the bucket . I’ve used the center hook for the majority of all my lifting going on 5 years…there is zero fatigue or trace of bending whatsoever…and I have more than exceeded its design . When you lift off center it causes the loader arms to flex and twist…eventually you will end up with cracks where the welds are…uneven loader arms or a bucket that no longer sits flat on the ground

[@daddio7249]

@@chrissterling3225 I used the two holes already in my bucket. I used those for the inside hole in each of my bolt on hooks and drilled a new hole for the outside of the hook mount. That way I can loop my chain around the two hooks with the chain grab hook positioned in the center of the loop. That way I get an even pull but the narrow loop does not put much side force on the hooks.
