Tractor Give Away! John Deere 1025R + Hodgepodge Accessories

[@photocontrol]

That was an awesome birthday gift for Bobby.

[@mikeludwig4315]

What a beautiful thing you could do Tim and Kristi. Happy birthday Bobby🎉

[@ranger6x660]

That is very nice of you guys to do that for him. What an awesome birthday gift!. And now the sky's the limit for accessories when it comes to Christmas gifts, Father's Day and Birthday's! lol

[@phil4483]

I wonder how many tractors you have sold for John Deere. I have a 1025R. My next tractor will not be a Deere.

[@HCH9990]

I just watched all of this with a smile on my face. What a lovely gesture from you both. Pond looks great!

[@Kcolby47]

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift! I’m sure that will be a blessing to him. Power packed video with tips, tricks, fun and frivolity. What more could one ask for. BTW I hear Dave’s father in law is a great guy

[@brianhillis3701]

You still have the rarely seen tractor of the wrong color that keeps playing the Messick's theme?😊

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The Messick’s theme was in the Mini Ex. But yes, we still have the LX3310. Need to get rid of it.

[@FelipeColby]

FYI...read your comment, and had to stop to think, wait...who is Dave's father-in-law?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

@@FelipeColbyyou and I are BOTH new father in laws!

[@allenjessee8860]

That’s an awesome birthday gift!! Congratulations Bobby and enjoy this 1025r for many years!! I’m also forwarding this video to my son in law as I comment!😂 It really is more of a blessing to give than receive!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ha!

[@jamesmbutler]

"forwarding this video to my son in law..." - I'm still laughing. Let us know how it works out with the son in law - best of luck! (still laughing)

[@BrickyardPowerMan]

That canopy and fan is a nice setup. Agree it would look best green but receiving as a gift, white looks great when it means comfort! Love the tip on the grease needle. Just ordered it from your Amazon store.

[@keiths4874]

what a thoughtful and nice gesture👍❤🙏

[@aaronburford5701]

I absolutely love this video! The content, commentary, and footage is excellent. If KZbin has awards for best overall, you would be the winner! Great Job!

[@sxxkkllmmmclean7894]

That's is very nice to do that for him.. always cherish people when they are here!! Steve from WV

[@loaderman5732]

Im so glad yall showed how to bypass that safety switch that thing drives me crazy

[@jeffreycurrie3410]

Can’t think of a better place to go, it’s really a great set up.

[@FelipeColby]

Very cool stuff, what a great way to encourage him!

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

That's very nice of you and Kristy for giving your 1025R to her dad I hope he gets a lot of enjoyment out of it for many more years🤠

[@kevingebert4316]

Great reminder to get under the tractor to Greeze everything up especially before winter. Thanks Tim!

[@occ9867]

You and Christy done good there Tim, big thumbs up!

[@nicholasrolando9240]

Tim your show and tell is so cool. Your voice is very calming and helps when doing anything to my Little Johnny. So sorry for wife’s (and you) loss of her mom. I can relate as I to lost my mom in February. He will be vey happy with his JD as anyone would be happy to! Keep up the good work. PS we all like Dave!

[@mattphillips4260]

couple of rattle cans of green paint would fix that topper hope he has a blast with the tractor guys

[@D.Trider]

Awesome! Would’ve loved to watched the reaction of him getting all those goodies!

[@donalexander4083]

when you deliver that wonderfully thoughtful "gift" you will be passing through within 10 miles of where I live more than likely (i'm less than 10 miles straight south of Raleigh ) if you have the time and feel so inclined maybe we could meetup for a cheeseburger or something

[@ericdownunder1957]

Lock and Lube sells the needle adapter, i just ordered one for my 1015r. Great video, as usual, thank you.

[@1yehny]

Always good to watch you guys do projects.

[@plainviewfarms6364]

Hope you do a video on the reaction when you give it to him….. What a gift.

[@andrewkirch5920]

Thanks!

[@frijoli9579]

How awesome is this!!!

[@fsj197811]

Cool deal, it's nice that you're going to help him out and he'll hopefully get a bunch more use out of that little machine. Thanks for sharing.

[@Craigs_car_care]

Paying it forward 😊

[@chuckhunter328]

Outstanding, good for you. Son in Law of the year candidate.

[@andysmith5220]

Now that's paying it forward too. Can't wait to see videos with him and you. Please do a video of you giving it to him and showing him it

[@Lefty43]

Awesome to share with Bobby!

[@pamrakes474]

Looking good . just add some Green paint to the canopy.

[@kellygb9278]

Just wanted you to know I have been wanting to beef up my 2022 1025R's hydraulic capabilities. I have watched your videos and those from HydroPlus & I was really impressed. So I have ordered the cylinders & the stage #3 pump & I wanted to thank you for the TWTT coupon!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You’ll love it. You can increase the pressure a bit too for another boost.

[@kellygb9278]

@@TractorTimewithTim yes, Kevin said I need to check on that so I bought his press gauge kit . He mentioned I could go to 26..

[@ronaldharmon9891]

Happy Birthday Bobby🎉🎈🙌

[@BrickyardPowerMan]

The canopy would probably be easy to put a vinyl wrap on. Might be an idea for a future video. Leave the underside white as that will help with visibility.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Canopies get scratched pretty bad by limbs.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Very nice Tim. Having the tractor will get your father in law out and doing things again. It will be sooooo good for him. Very enjoyable video Tim. I hope you do a video when you deliver it to him. It would be great to see his reaction and to see him trying it out.

[@m.h4664]

That is a great gift for him I'm sure he's going to enjoy it Happy birthday wishes

[@cashxx]

I'd love to have that TKV20 for leaves! Can't get past the price though!

[@johnhunter273]

That's awesome!

[@GrampysTractor]

Happy Birthday Bobby! Tim, you should make a note of the hours on it and then check to see how much time he has spent on Johnny. Like me I bet it's a lot more than you would think. He will love having it around.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

69 hours when we delivered.

[@chuckrobinson6244]

That was really nice I was also wondering if you were going to have any videos of y’all farm with your brother and nephew thank you for the video

[@edwardcaseyjr5490]

Happy birthday 🥳🥳🎂🎂🎉🎉😊

[@JosephLott-vq9gz]

That's awesome!!!

[@karldawnlang8936]

Blessing.

[@DDrenegade6632]

Tim, will that seat upgrade fit the 2032R/2038R? My bad back needs the help on my property lol! Great video! Watched the whole time with a smile. 😊

[@anthonywalls3281]

That's a good thing to do Tim thank you 👍 he will appreciate that more than you will ever know 😎🚜

[@SLCOutdoors]

Your a good man Tim!

[@TsunauticusIV]

You got me with that title. I got a little excited… not gonna lie. lol. Glad her dad is going to get it. He will enjoy it.

[@wademizelle3433]

Great gest, he will be absolutely delighted, great video, are you and Christy going to trailer it to NC? Thanks

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep.

[@matthewdingman2177]

Will there be a video of yall giving him the tractor? I didn't hear if there will be one or not. Love the videos and have learned a lot watching them.

[@royscarbrough3589]

I would paint the canopy yellow-it would harken back to the older color scheme; if it gets scratched it would not be so obvious. It’ll be fine but that’s me. Blessings!

[@garycox7508]

there's a much easier way to do the RIO thing via jumper that doesn't involve getting under the seat etc. There's a detailed thread on green tractor talk that includes the part number for the needed plug. With that method, all the work is done near the PTO with easily accessible wiring that makes it trivial to reverse (reasons on why one might want that left as exercise to the reader).

[@johnakemann]

I disabled my RIO switch to increase safety. Having to hold the button while looking over your shoulder and still holding the wheel when you start to push on the reverse pedal is challenging and it restricts your view behind you because you can't turn around far enough. Disabling that switch allows you you put one arm over the seat and turn you head further and have a clear view behind you when reversing.

[@jjacres129]

I just took a 1 1/4 hole saw and made the hole bigger for the front joint

[@mariannehoeksema1807]

The mower book tells how to level mower. Side to side front to back for perfect cut, and lest power from engine.

[@frankwrogg2515]

Function over form, when it comes to sun shade.

[@Freecan67]

Wow. I love your Heart. God Bless.

[@geoffondrus]

Just use a small pistol grip gun that takes the small cartridges. Also you can use a small flex hose not really a problem you just have to line up the fitting in the hole

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

❤️ God love yea both. 💐

[@andrewkirch5920]

Tractor Time with Tim is the ultimate in no forks given! 🤣🤣🤣 Don't worry I already got an indulgence for this terrible, horrible joke.

[@georgelee7259]

That is how we care for our parents

[@johngaudreau7506]

I have. 2015 1025r that I had to replace the main drive shaft because of that joint. I don’t mess around anymore and I remove the bottom cowling cover, 15 minutes, to grease from above and make 100% sure the joint is taking grease all around.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Only on 2015 and earlier. There is no cowling on later models.

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Nice to give to your relatives its better to give than recieve...Self loading, regulations and safety aside, the manual loader allows for more skill development while the self leveling is better for a lot of repeditive tasks where nuance is not needed. Everyone can benefit by making unused gear go away...

[@malcolmcavalier7849]

If he uses code TTWT, does it include free shipping? 😀 We will be looking for a delivery video to come in the future. You are setting a good example and picking up some extra room around the garage , that's a win win.

[@bad122452]

A couple of cans of JD Green would hide the white paint. Hope he has many hours of seat time. Don't forget to check the mower deck, grease, oil, blades.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Deck has less than one hour on it!

[@seandurgin]

It’s a high pressure grease nozzle. Rod ends on aircraft use that style.

[@rb2530]

👍👍

[@joelhenderson5404]

Tim he can barrow the forks when he needs them!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

[@wingman8447]

Very nice

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

You're a good Don in-law.. you'll want to have it back when he NO longer needs it!!!

[@JCWren]

I think they use 4 wires so they can sense the switch being closed (pushed) and open (released). At first blush you might think that simply being not closed means it's open, but that doesn't tell you if the switch is actually functional. If the 1025 requires the seat to be flipped up when you're running a PTO driven accessory like a wood chipper (where you'd be out of the seat), then you may find that's not going to work. Of course, if he doesn't run an accessory like that, it doesn't matter.

[@bartonmd]

On the 3046R, I just went into the menus on the dash and turned the reverse mower cutoff off. I didn't try the zip tie thing, because the Internet said there's a timer or something where it wants to see it change direction every once in a while or it knows you just unplugged or shorted it or whatever.

[@Nuf_Nivah]

You can get a wrap for the canopy

[@randyhughes5160]

If you have a lock n lube fitting the you can get one with a fitting and it seals well

[@kencotton4645]

Nice present. Are you guys hauling it to NC? If so, I hope you make a video of him trying it out.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, we delivered it. We didn’t get much video when he saw it. It was kind of a personal moment!

[@MJF40]

Backhoe brackets needed 🤞🏻

[@ericpaul4575]

I use a needle for my driveshaft universals on my 1025R. I need to get a power grease gun to make it easier to use.

[@billydeesullivan537]

Dang Tim!!! Do you have any more attachments you want to give away?

[@billydeesullivan537]

The white roof will block the sun and be cooler in the summer instead of black roof absorbing and cooking in the sun. All the money for a John Deere tractor and gotta go through all that to mow in reverse? My 20 year old craftsman just turn the key back one click and mow in reverse all day. Your setting papa up well though I hope we get to see the reveal and reaction. I mean you already got his daughter now your just spoiling him.

[@jamisoncurtis2387]

Might of said it in the older video with that seat. Would it work with the older models with the 260 that have the swivel seat? I’m fine with my current seat but I’m guessing there’s others that might be curious

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No, sorry.

[@peterkoster5053]

Don't quote me but I beleive RIO is reverse implament operation. I disabled mine and I personally feel like it's safer without it. I have a 1023e and I also dislike greasing that one driveshaft zerk

[@robertwikeljr-1522]

What fitting (that You showed) is that for? If it's a "carrier bearing or pillow block" for the driveline could an extension be added between grease fitting and part it goes into , make access easier.
