Inexpensive (Mostly) Tractor Lover Gift Ideas. EZ-CRANK

[@trainloader9012]

You sound a like you have a bit of a cold the past couple videos Tim, hope you are getting over it and feeling better. I bought a set of the Edge Tamers last winter based on your recommendation and R2 was a pleasure to do business with. I ordered a different type than I was initially planning to after a conversation with them. They are more interested in selling the right product than selling a product. I referred my brother to them and he had an equally good experience with them. Thank you for the work you do to vet your partners as it makes it easy for your viewers to extend our trust in you to them and quickly find solutions without having to spend a lot of time on research. Happy Sunday!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words. Very encouraging!

[@simpleman4196]

That Ez crank is great. I was about to cut a bolt head off and weld it on the end of my jack so I could use a socket. Now I'll buy a cheap socket and drill a hole in the end 👍

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Just don’t use an impact. …and remember that sockets are HARD. Be careful drilling drilling through it

[@carlpboyer]

I'm a big fan of Ken's Bolt-on products. Right after getting my bucket, I added his hooks and love having them. And two years ago, after getting tired of my seat bottoming out while going over the smallest bumps, I replaced my seat springs with his seat springs and the difference was amazing.

[@Kcolby47]

Always enjoy your tractor owner gift/user episodes. I can validate several of those items that I have “gifted” to myself. Thanks for showing products and reviews that are relevant and rewarding. Blessings.

[@kurtloftfield4537]

Good morning Tim and Christy, thanks for the video!

[@roybaughman306]

I got the yellow hood button on my 1025r a year ago and love it!

[@jerryhendrickson6092]

Great presentation,thanks

[@usmarshall336]

I really like your selection of your products that you've picked!! I really like the edge tamer it worked really well last year.. if you do have the driveway I would definitely recommend going with the skid pad type where it doesn't damage your driveway.. I think the easy crank is a great idea little pricey.. always need to be careful with the wrist!! Now it's time to do some shopping.. Thanks Tim

[@ronevans852]

Yep, still have those springs on my 1025 R working lots better than the others.

[@kdeckster]

Thanks!

[@philsmock4943]

A lot of great products to consider for my 1025R. Thank you for putting this video together.

[@A48L16S091366]

I really want that seat, but I’m going to wait for the installation video first before placing an order.. I don’t care that it doesn’t flip up or rotate but I want to see how far back the slider tracks will allow it to move. I use my stock 1025R seat in the fully back position and I want any upgrade seat to give me at least that much clearance space for my legs.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Good idea. Hang tight. We’ll get the updated parts soon

[@crazyfarmer2564]

I need to order more bolt on hooks. I broke the 2 I had on my 5075e. I was trying to use the tractor as an anchor to get a john deere 700j dozer unstuck. They will not hold the weight of the 5075e and an extra 1,000lbs of weight on rear wheels in the air, or the 700j just has too much winch power. Lol

[@m9ovich785]

A Winch will always be stronger than a Vehicle doing the pulling HAHAHAHAHAHA..

[@vannorman1116]

I watched the whole vid and paused it as i ordered the footpan plugs,4x4 step and the vented dipstick for 1025R. Thnx Tim for your great vids!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks!

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

We have a storm coming tomorrow and the edge tamers for the box blade got me thinking… my 54” rear blower and or front HLA pusher blade cuts in bad this time of year as there is no frozen ground. The shoes are only about 1 1/4 wide roughly and cut into the ground.

[@m9ovich785]

I had the tamers on My Kioti Bucket and took them off in favor of 3/4" pipe on the bottom. Welded to an old Cutting edge. I'd usually pack down the 1st few layers of Snow to create a nice base . No issues with digging in anymore.

[@shanesherwood343]

Tim I love all your videos this being said i look forward to your Christmas gift video its my favorite look forward to it every year

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Shane!

[@lowermichigan4437]

The edge tamers are really handy. I want the nice seat for my mower.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You can order seat without bracket

[@andywakeman3355]

Hey Tim! Hope you get to feeling better soon. Just wanted to chim in and mention something my dealer told me about the hood release. It was designed so the operator uses the key from the ingnition to open the hood. This was done to prevent people from being in the engine compartment while its running. Hope that helps!! Still like the work around though. Have a blessed Christmas.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not really. It was done to meet EU regulations. The only reason it is in the US is to be consistent.

[@JimFinlayson]

It’s nice that you’re focusing on the lower end. The 3d printing folks certainly fill a nice niche.

[@ranger6x660]

Hi Tim. You mentioned the front axle was leaking on your 3R. I’ve read that some guy’s have put the vent hose on and the axle quit leaking. Not saying it will but may be worth a try if the seal isn’t in bad shape. Thanks for another great video. I’m forwarding this video to the finance committee for further review. 😃

[@stephenjones6446]

my 4 series will leak when used a lot on hot days, pinion seal, but then stops on cooler days even though I have filled the axle. So I bet you are right. It will probaly stop leaking after vented.

[@BG-vq9fd]

I do not like pushing snow with my bucket but the edge tamers make it much easier. 3 3 inch on 53 inch bucket. I use my tractor on the beach a lot. My mat and bolt head recesses are always full of sand. Those little caps are interesting. I can't believe I have not bought one of Ken's diff lock caps. Working on the beach I am usually wearing Crocs, it is difficult to tell if it's locked up. As in previous years you have brought up many good items.

[@On_The_Farm]

I have the pre-2020 deck for the 1025r. They used to make load n go ramps for them, but stopped when the new deck design came out.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Really? I didn’t Know that.

[@petenolte4192]

Tim you should do an update on the building you put up. The pro's and con's

[@lcee6592]

Making my list, checking it twice... Awesome products Mr. Tim!

[@jamisoncurtis2387]

With the pro ride seat it said won’t work with the backhoe but wondered is that with either backhoe model? Wondered if it couldn’t swivel around with the older 260 or lean forward with the newer 260B. Going to guess someone with a plan would figure it out and make it work. No problems with my current seat but I’d rather get the Ken’s bolt on springs a lot cheaper than a whole new seat. Only machine I got here that could use a new seat is dads older 1974 410 JD backhoe

[@adamwagner1987]

I had no clue edge tamers from r2manufacturing where from buffalo ny.. My friend Jim was making skid shoes at bear metal works. I wonder if it's the same product 🤔

[@earlyriser8998]

Best recommendation of the past was a large socket set for tractor size bolts And a large torque wrench. Both still on their Amazon store.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I started watching your video and seen Ken on and remembered i was going to order the bucket hooks and so I did! I just seen some on Amazon where instead of welding the hooks to a plate they are cast all together. Unless this company was going to check each piece for cracks

[@vincephillips9057]

Thanks Tim :)

[@richc9890]

Need the option for Red or Blue tractors too on your merchandise (for us "other" tractor owners)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hey, we have Vinny shirts...right? At least we used to!

[@richc9890]

Yes, but I don't have a Vinny (😥) @@TractorTimewithTim

[@American_Heathen]

Finally my prayers have been answered with a tractor seat. I am tired of bottoming out on my seat

[@roybaughman306]

I also have the kens bolt on hooks on my bucket and has been a back saver for this old fart...

[@jddriver9565]

I love the load´n go alternative.:O

[@sylvainlaliberte510]

Bonjour Tim. I need information about top link for measure. I have a John Deere 5075E and I want a category 2 top link for it and I have a question how to take the measure :end to end or center to center of the pinholes to order the correct size of top link. I want to order to the Agrisotre but Ineed to know .Thanks Tim

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Center to center of the holes. Retract all the way, then extend all the way. Measure each approach. …then, error on a bit shorter in my opinion.

[@robertcope7873]

I'm sorry that I am not as fortunate as you to have an r series tractor. How about talking about items for the E series tractor. Specifically the adjustable sway arm bracket.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Is there one? 2R has same issue!

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Tim.. Mike M.

[@kdeckster]

22 Days till Christmas!

[@AnthonyDGreen-me7cw]

Hey Tim and Christy. Would you have any info on putting a suspension seat like you are showing on a 1023? I believe they are differently mounted than a 1025. Thanks for all yall do. Keep it up!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think this one might work, given how much of the existing seat mechanism is removed. However, I am not certain.

[@AnthonyDGreen-me7cw]

Thanks……as always!

[@markbrause3608]

Good morning, I recently purchased the suspension seat for my 1025R. I have complained about the seat on this tractor since day 1. In fact was even looking at other tractors to possibly trade until this new seat was on the market. Did you have to modify the front panel when installing this seat? It doesn't seem to line up quite right and I'm thinking I may need to trim around the new seat brackets just a little to get everything to fit correctly.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I was able to get it to fit…I think you are discussing the panel which has the rate of control knob etc. I had to remove this to install…and yes, I had difficulty getting it back in place. I just kept putting…finally getting it in place

[@markbrause3608]

Yes that is the panel. Thanks for the input. I had to reorder one of the seat brackets, company accidently sent me two left brackets. Called them and they sent corrected one out right away, unfortunately, it was sent USPS and mail service has been extremely slow. Tracking shows it has been sitting in Cleveland distribution center now for several days. Hopefully it will get here this coming week. While I have been waiting , I was looking at how that panel might go back in there and it seems pretty tight. Thanks for all the informative videos. I have used information from these a lot over the years. @@TractorTimewithTim

[@A48L16S091366]

Yep, that is why I am waiting on the installation video. To be ready to do any necessary mods and have the tools and parts ready to go.

[@markbrause3608]

Actually, it didn't go together all that bad. It is tight, but it did snap together with no modifications necessary. The company accidently sent 2 left handed brackets, I contacted them and they got the correct bracket out to me right away along with a return postage paid label to return the incorrect one. All in all, I would recommend this company any time. They were very good to work with and the seat is nearly identical to the seat that is on my Z930M. @@A48L16S091366

[@mikehannas7392]

It would be wonderful if you could facilitate Canadian distribution for this stuff. We are challenged up here in this regard.

Any idea if they are planning for the 2 series cab or 3 series cab for the 1 point connector?

Am I the only one that's had trouble with Isotunes? I bought 3 pairs last year. One for myself and two were given as Christmas presents. They were the Isotunes Xtras 2.0. All three of us liked the features and thought they were great. Unfortunately 1 pair overheated and started melting. The other two pairs won't keep a charge and one of those no longer will charge at all. Bad batch or is this typical?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Wow. Must be bad batch or something. I have used the same set of xtra 2.0’s since they came out. Contact the company…they should replace.

[@andrewjohn9813]

I've had a pair since Tim first mentioned them never had any issues using them every day except for one pair got caught in my winter coat and cut the wire and i had another pair get caught on some branches and ripped the wires out before I could stop

[@rcwayt4020]

Tim any seat upgrades for the 2038R?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We’ll work on it.

[@richardniswander6090]

Have you seen hydro pluss new loader cylinders higher lift,more 30% more lift capacity.

Higher lift for Kubota. Same lift for Deere. I have them on several of my tractors. Love em!

Tim: Please remember you also have KUBOTA machines.. Like the trailer item....

[@waynederby4684]

Thank you Tim. Already got the EZ Crank..

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks. You wouldn’t believe how much effort it takes to get these tractor specific products to market. Doing the same thing for Kubota would take an equal if not larger effort. …add to that the challenge that our orange audience is smaller than our Deere audience, so we don’t have as much influence there. Really appreciate you watching!
