Very nice to see someone offering a helping hand. If I lived closer I would have loved to help.

[@ericthatankn8704]

Probably never would have thought to turn the forks over. Good job

[@jansorensen]

Happy new year Tim, Kristy and Katriel. Glad to see you get some extra help. God bless

[@kenlitherland6065]

Great video for all involved. It does help to have a set of forks at both location. The inverted forks was classic farm re-engineering and I loved the 2025Rs tires.

[@snapperkc9317]

Matt was a huge help...those pallets were lifesavers! I’m looking forward to your 2019 TTWT videos, and I hope Katriel got a better grade in her Calculus class than me!! HNY!

[@waltermattson5566]

Very cool to get help and speed things up and we get to see another tractor working.

[@mccnoutdoormaintenancellcc9868]

great job for your friend to come over and give you an your family a helping hand

[@jGoodloejr]

Looks like a Blessed New Year ! Enjoy Happy 2019 to Tim and family!

[@5eyes1294]

Tim, you have great family. Thanks for your videos, Tim. one tractor owner to another. Happy New Year! Good fortune to you and the family.

[@kansascowboy5721]

What a good guy, he helped all day and allowed you to play with his toys 👍🏻😂👏🙏

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Doesn't get any better, does it!

[@LeeH-Ranger83]

Tim, Great video and happy new year. I’ll be purchasing a 2025R when the time comes. Spending an hour or so at the John Deere dealership in Fredericksburg, TX. Keep up the great work.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Lots of work clearing out the barn and the help sure was nice. Hi Matt!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We certainly had lots of stuff tucked in there!

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Tim. Thanks for taking us along with the move. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Grab a box while you are here, Ron!

[@shawnboss5542]

I really like the looks of those tires on that tractor!!

[@mickolson8176]

“Cheeseburger Power!”………I have to say, anyone who helps you move is a good friend:) That 2025r is a pretty slick tractor. I like the idea of flipping over the forks for increasing the lift height like you did (Within reason). I can’t wait to see how you set up your new barn!

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Good video Tim using them forks and pallets make moving a little easier thanks Tim

[@gliderider7077]

That’s a great friend you have! Keep up the amazing videos

Great job guys. Always enjoy watching Tim!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Pastor David!

[@joeymomma518]

Friends like Matt are hard to come by. But, don't you go thinking about the 2025R, what would we all do without old Johnny and new Johnny to keep us up to speed. And, HAPPY NEW YEAR to your whole family Tim.

[@Alanschmalzried]

Nylon straps are awfully handy. I use them to load the mower deck onto one the “implement carts” I have at home. And, while not the ideal approach, I liked the idea of inverting the forks...I may need that some day.

[@Ghostrider304]

Happy New Year to the whole TTWT family!

[@lowellkoebnick4903]

Tim looks like you are in love with this one!!!.

[@ilmo2313]

PRICELESS. I had a great buying experience in 2013 when Wright Stemle owned the dealership in Jasper, IN.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You bought in Jasper Indiana? Wow, what a drive!

[@joetterolison1286]

I watch Your videos because Your information & presentations are like being there, except for feeling the need for the Thermal Suits. Left Cleveland Ohio in 1976 too never to have the pain of FROZEN TOES EVER AGAIN. Thanks for being here. Ken

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate you watching.

[@keithstickan6486]

I like those new style tires on that 2025r

[@compacttractortv5074]

Really amazing to see

[@BiffsEquipment]

It was cool seeing Jim out there with his RC truck! Tractor time with Tim... and Jim. Lol I’ll miss seeing him on the channel! Great video as always!

Pallets, Pallet forks, 2 tractors, 2 trailers ...your making moving just too dam easy/fun

[@jdean830]

2025 looks like the best size to have. love the tires on that one.

[@tootall5559]

Matt seems to be a great guy. Kind of guy I'd like to do business with.

[@TJ-fd9vb]

Happy New Year TTWT family! Thanks for providing such great videos. Our 6 and 4 year old boys can’t get enough. We appreciate that we can always trust your content to be entertaining and wholesome... something we can trust our kids to watch. In our house Tim is known as Mister Rogers with a tractor!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ok, I guess that is acceptable. I loved Mr. Rogers. ..and I sorta feel like we live in the 'neighborhood of make believe' :-)

[@martineastburn3679]

Wow nice larger tractor. Should have gotten that size, but alas 1025R is good for me. OBTW - I was moving some large dome parts (Telescope) and made a heavy duty pallet that I built up-side-down on my tractor forks. I put the forks in line with the pistons and placed two 8' 4x4's across the forks. Making sure I had plenty of depth with the last board. I then placed 4 4x4's either side of the forks and on top of the other 4x4's. Then 2x6's across them to be the bottom of the pallet. Normally they would be 1/2 or 3/4" pine. All of mine was Oak. I screwed all together with log screws for cabins. I flipped it over with help of the tractor - getting heavy! and screwed on the 4' x 8' 3/4" 12 year old Sheet of Plywood. It is like a tank but I can carry large parts and many things using boards screwed as boarders or simply buckets and brush. I keep it on my shop patio - large overhang now with concrete. I have my implements around one corner. (grapple, tiller..) . That moved hundreds of pounds of material for my observatory I'm setting up on my property. Deep mud shows the tractor tire prints, but time was urgent! Martin

[@upandadam9080]

Flipping the forks over was genius!

[@BennyViola]

I like when you have guests in the videos. Happy New year and God bless.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We love that too!

[@akbychoice]

Nice trick with the forks.

[@johanbos160]

Nice video tim and kristie and katriel. Thats a nice tractor and a great guy 👍👍👍there is a lot of parts in your garage nice to have more space .

[@jasone9729]

47 years on this earth much of which has been spent on a tractor and it never occurred to me to flip the forks upside down. Thats what is great about ttwt channel, sharing ideas and still learning new ideas. Is a shame though that it is so tightly policed by the safety sallies. Seems to me like a 2025R will be in Tims future. Happy new year.

missing a couple of XX's...thats funny...great job on the videos...

[@fogtfarms9743]

Keep up the good work

[@72hourbob61]

Take your forks and drill a hole about 3 inches from the tip so you can put a bolt in one or both to hold the strap from slipping off (nut and washer top and bottom) of the fork. We did this on the dock so we could pull pallets out of trailers with weak floors or drag pallets out that was too heavy to pick up. True we were on forklifts. It will not hurt the forks but may kill your drill, we used a plasma cutter. Same racks we used in the stockrooms but ours were about 3 times as tall. Only do this if your forks slid in a grove like to ones you were using in this video.

[@brucealvarez9263]

I think the "upside down" forks for your specific use is way safer than the 8x8 "ramps". If you have the shelves at the same height at the new place, just create a permanent "intermediate height" landing area. Won't be all that inconvenient. Then again, the new barn is a lot bigger, might not need to store hefty things quite so high. BTW, along with your suggestion to tilt the forks down to make them easier to slide, Tractor Mike had a pallet fork video, said to grease the rails. I'm using both methods and it sure is easier to move them now. You know it is time to move when you have so many tractor implements that it takes a tractor and pallets to move it all. Now that you have used the 2025 are you thinking maybe that model should be the Johnny replacement? Or is the extra width a show stopper for some of those "backyard" jobs? I do recall seeing some pretty narrow gaps between tractor and gate post in some prior videos.

[@peterkober6758]

Pretty relaxed so far, Peter ! Happy new year to you!

[@sirlancelot3109]

Our local dealer is making these tires their standard tire for 2025r orders. Basically just what everyone was asking for. A turf friendly radial with enough tread to handle snow and mud. Galaxy Garden Pro R3

[@adorsett]

Sir Lancelot and they’re cheaper than R4s. I used the savings to substitute in the mulching kit to my order.

[@cashxx]

Wonder why they don't have them for the 1025r?

The tractor community is full of good guys like Matt. Your family friendly channel only fosters and enhances it the great tractor community. That 2025 looks to be a very nice sized machine. The loader valve is definitely an improvement JD finally figured out. Happy new year and God bless.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Jon. ...and Happy New Year to my Artillian/Curtis friend!

[@cashxx]

I wonder if the loader valve is just the 2025 or is it both 1025 and 2025 2018 models that seem to be better to Tim??

[@ritterjon]

[@williamcoffman7149]

you know, i was dead set on getting the 1025R, but after this video and seeing the 2025R helping out, believe im going towards the 2025R, it just seems to be better with clearance and weight distribution.....

Great vid Tim

[@fender5247]

Happy New Years Tim great video I love the cheeseburger power comment that’s what I use at work lol

[@sideskraft]

I'm impressed with how you guys moved the 48" forks so easily. My 48" Titan forks are about 100 lb each and a back breaker to pick up and install on the frame because of their length and weight distribution. I have to assume the forks on your video are considerably lighter, or else you guys are brutes!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ah ha! As we have always stated. That titan stuff is way too heavy for a subcompact tractor. These are 42x3” forks. MUCH less than 100 lbs each.

[@dpd16790]

We flip the forks on our tractor loader and fork lifts all the time... lol

[@BA_X728]

Finally found someone who has more attachments for his tractor then me. I have a x728 ultimate John Deere.

Welcome to our channel, B A! Check out our other videos!

[@roadstarmadness657]

i own a 2019 2025r with backhoe and tektite cab. Im in Canada so i loaded rear tires with winter washer fluid 18 galllons each. and front tires 4.5 gallons each. I didnt like the exhaust fumes so i drilled a hole in the hood and rerouted the tailpipe.

[@danrichard3135]

Nice looking 2025r! Best I see, is the loader valve still only one function at a time? This was a big thing that swung me over to a BX2380 vs. 1025r. How I use my loader, especially piling snow, a ‘single function’ valve would be pretty annoying. I was really torn between the two tractors and at the end of the day Kubota’s financing and straight-forward salesman won the day. I know I would’ve been happy with either. Wouldn’t it be great if the best of each make were brought together!!!! Enjoy the new property and keep us subscribers in the loop on that huge barn.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think the somewhat difficult two at a time function is over-stated. The hydraulics are slow on these machines (all brands) anyway, so none of them work very smoothly/quickly (in my experience). I do agree that there are very positive features on each of the 'big two' (BX80 and 1-series). For example, I love the single point connector on the BX loader.

[@owenhobbs3827]

I bought my 5303 from Deer Country in Orleans (really Bromer) before Wright bought them out.

If you can afford, the 3R is much more tractor than the 2R.

Boy, Tim. I wish I could have helped you. I would but I'm looking at knee replacement. I still would like an invite this summer. Maybe I can help with that dirt pile you made cleaning the pond. I'll have to bring an Orange tractor. You folks are great and I have enjoyed all your videos. Real nice to see a family work together. More families need to do this. Might make a difference in the way young people behave. One thing I do know. Bring your young folks to Church, instead of sending them. Amen!

[@nickr8829]

When I was was looking at getting a 1025R in February my dealer offered me a 2025R with the R3 radials for $1,000 more than the 1025R. I didn't choose it for a few reasons, but mainly because there wasn't a lot of info out there on the new ones. The more and more I watch videos with the new 2025Rs in it, the more I wish I had went to one.

[@oldNavyJZ]

Love my 2025r. Maybe should have gone one size bigger, but I think that applies to just about everything. Rarely, maybe never was a time when I bought something and decided it was too big.

[@nickr8829]

@@oldNavyJZ Shortly after I made this comment I got really tired of the lack of ability of the 1025R and went to a 2032R. Three years later I'm still happy and amazed every time I look at it, sit on it or use it. It never fails to surprise me with what it can do.

Chains are good but nylon or kevlar straps are awesome for choking. Zero slipping, just as strong or better than chain. Chain you only can tighten up to the closest link, always a little play.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

But the choker can only be tied at ONE length. Chain can get to the nearest link (as you said). I thought that choker was too long for our problem.

[@huntingderre118]

If you wrap the choker up a couple times on the forks you can get it shorter

We been looking into buying a 2038r. We dont realy need that much tractor. The reason we desided to buy the 2038r was because we split wood with a log jammer. Its the small diffrence in hydro power is were the diffrence will come in.

[@miano07]

Thanks for the Video. I like the way you're storing your implements. Actually that's what caught my attention. And I wanted to know where can I get such a metal shelving you have there against the wall to store my implements on pallets, so it doesn't use all the place in my shop? Thanks for the pointer. It's really appreciated.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It is called pallet racking. Search on Craigslist or FB marketplace.

[@ModernDayTech]

Aww I'm a little sad. Seeing it all be taken apart. I remember when you built the whole thing. Onto your next adventure...

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yea, me too!

[@timothygunckel7162]

omg, I used to be chairman of the safety advisory board. Flipping those forks made me real nervous.

[@mikegraziano1562]

SO glad you FINALLY realize the 2025R is NOT just a 1025R with bigger tires LOL! I love your video's... but cringed when I heard you say that on another one of your videos! I kept saying to myself...man, Tim just never had the chance to use a 2025R! I was right! I have a 2009 2320 (older ver. of the 2025R) and use the forks all the time to unload stuff off of semi trucks... ya just can't do the with a sub-compact! I've saved thousands over the past few years never having to pay for lift gate fees! Off loading pallets of tile & wood flooring, stoves, insulation, kitchen & bathroom cabinets etc...The loader lifts I believe around 200lb - 450lb more on the loader & 3 point. The 1025r is rated to lift 836 pounds to full height (72″) at the pin while the 2025r is rated to lift 1,023 pounds to full height (78″) at the pin. On the three point hitch, the 1025r can lift 681 pounds at 24″ while the 2025r can lift an impressive 1,150 pounds at 24″ from the pin....just bigger tires?...no I don't think so! LOL

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Mike, your 2320 is a TOTALLY different tractor than the new 2025r. The new 2025r is much less capable than your tractor. It is, unfortunately, a 1025r with larger tires. Same power train. Same loader. They turned up the hydraulic pressure slightly from the factory ...which you can do on your 1025r. You’ll find the specs are much closer on the 2018+ version.

[@mikegraziano1562]

@@TractorTimewithTim Ya Tim, didn't realize so much changed in a few years...back when I was looking for a tractor 4-5 years ago the loader & backhoe were different for the 1025r & 2025R, now that use the exact same loader, backhoe & even mower. So there is still the lifting ability, greater ground clearance & longer & wider frame for the 2025R...and the bigger tires that allow MUCH more Rimguard weight.

[@coypatton3160]

Tim I know I am a day late and a $$ short, but for future needs or others needs, an empty pallet on your forks is a great way to slide a loaded pallet further onto/into a trailer. Use a chain or strap to pull them to where you can reach them with the forks to unload.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We did that. ....apparently it did not make the video. We shoved the pallets into the cargo trailer with subsequent pallets.

[@coypatton3160]

Tractor Time with Tim it did not make the editing. But the comments may help someone else. Super nice of Matt to give you all a day. Is the 2025R still considered the subcompact? Ir a compact?
