Excellent advice. One more for you. Don't run in 4wd when you don't need to. Only time to use 4wd is when you need additional traction. Running in 4wd will wear differential and if you have a larger tractor, will wear out bevel gears.

All good advice! I am going to show this to my grandson. He is turning into quite a good equipment operator, but needs to hear stuff just like this. He is only 12, but loves tractors, mowers, anything that has a motor. I’m just trying to be sure he learns all the things about safe operation, and how to take care of your equipment. I have not turned him loose with my tractor yet, but it will not be long. I’m 75 and I need him as backup as I become unable to do the things I have always done. It provides some really good grandson/granddad time for us both. I’m so blessed to have him close by! Thanks for sharing this information! Merry Christmas!

Good information! I like how you explain that weight and speed can work against the tractor in a bad way. Thanks!

[Tapthatsugershack]

Awesome stuff, as always, guys. Great info for any new tractor owners out there who dont have any equipment experience

[neintoten]

GREAT advice! Thank you, Tony! At 30 hours on my new RK-25, It seems I've already potentially neglected my loader pins. This, I shall address, forthwith!

Agree 100% with buying one size up. Big tractors can still do small jobs, but little tractors can't always do the bigger jobs.

[crazycoyote]

Tony, you are using the same terminologies as my father used to use.
Thanks for helping others, and reminding me of him, god bless!!

[MikeCarew-ux]

Thanks Tony for your advice every little bit helps as you know these things aren’t cheap.

Awesome video Tony.one thing I remember my dealer telling me when I bought my Tym474 was to get to know how to use your implements right.I also bought implements that would allow the tractor to work easier and never try to max it out.Again thanks for all the videos and the tips it was because of you that I bought the 474 with the cab, I have 300 hrs on it... No leaks, no regen yet I'm very impressed with this tractor.

[Shookmeister]

Great video Tony. Even "knowing" most of the mistakes you pointed out, it always help to hear again and from someone with your knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

[cogentdynamics]

Excellent advice. Many things I haven’t thought about enough.

[berthongo]

All true. I wished I would have gone two sizes bigger but I didn't know then what I know now. I can always trade up. Gizmo is such a good boy.

[hiddenacresoutdoors]

Excellent video and one well worth reviewing even for old tractor drivers that buy new tractors. The basics are always worth reviewing. One more is how to handle steeper hills. Make sure they're dry so that you don't slip and slide and most importantly, back down them vs trying to drive down frontwards.

[jameswatson]

You went over the most common mistakes and did a very good job thank you

[oldskoold]

Great video and advise. Gizmo needs nothing other than what you obviously have provided since he/she arrived! Rather obvious, watching the loyalty and behavior on camera! Thanks.

[RealJeep]

One more comment for the YT algorithm. Mine: Stock T25 and yes, a full stock bucket full of 1" gravel will be all that tractor can handle. Even with ballasted tires, it wants to bounce. Go slow and take your time.

[davida.p.]

Awesome advice Tony! One thing I'd add is, and it may seem minor, but very important especially to the beginner, is always make sure your loader is raised high enough when you're transporting or doing other chores. I once had my front bucket snag some roots and I ruptured a hydraulic hose because I didn't have my loader raised high enough off the ground. Very easy to overlook something as minor as that. Thanks for sharing!

Great points Started out on a Mass Ferguson 1958 model 135 when I was 14. Not a full time farming operation, pine tree farmer. We still are. 35 years between clear cuts. Still a lot of work but just a couple times a year. Just cut and replanted about 500 acres. To take care of it now we needed a new tractor. Bought a used 28 hp John Deere few years back. Now we needed something bigger to hand the sprayer for herbicide . Though we could get by with a 55 hp. But like you said. We did not want to always be maxing out the equipment. So we went to a 75 hp 4x4. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you.

Breakout is the Curl Cylinders, They are stronger in the mechanical linkage than the Lift Cylinders...
Thanks Tony...
