Real world use of a John Deere 2025r

A few important upgrades to this little tractor, I had a bit of a boo boo the other day- it could have been much worse. And I had some dirt to move.

Nice welding work with that grid, now your tractor is squirrel-proof :-)
Thanks for sharing

Hi Jeff!!😀😀
That's some really nice looking fill dirt.

Recommend welding a strap across the bottom of the expanded metal. Just a .125 x 1 or such will keep the expanded metal from distorting.

Nice job welding the grill guards, Gloves may be a good idea next time

Have had the AV20F grapple from the start... they replaced/exchanged that round bar assembly with the square tubing. Might be worth checking into if they'd still do it for ya.

They are great tractors... just turned 998 hours on mine.

Thanks for the videos. With your front axle project I was wondering what fitting did you use in the drilled 1/8 hole? I would like to do the same with my 1025R. Thanks

New to channel. Researching tractors. Seems like a nice size for bush work. What is lifting capacity for grapple? I have a lot of thinning out to do. Thx. Great video

Is that the summit electric diveter? What’s your thoughts on it

[randalmiddleton]

What are ya using to make your video's ? I regret not making any of my own.

If that log had hit harder or higher, then WOW, you would have been into the trans cooler and the rad. Now that would have made for a bad day. Somedays our "bad luck" is "good luck" in disguise.
