Tim, you are a real asset to the compact tractor community, and these solutions offer a great deal of versatility and usability for the compact tractor owner. Great work! Blessings.

Tim, this was a great video. I already had Deere install the 3rd function hydraulic on my 1025R when I got the grapple. Yep, it was not cheap. Your welding looked pretty good to me. And just an added note with Kevin's HydrosPlus extra flow pumps. You knowing that you probably would not install a HydrosPlus pump on your 1025R and you have your reasons. You still spent time and money to drive from Indiana to Arkansas just so your subscribers and viewers could see what is available for us sub-compact tractor owners. To me...that shows just how committed you are to this channel. I want to say "thank you Tim for making this channel as good as you can."

Tim, I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your wife for the wonderful videos that you have produced. You have an easy and understandable way in your presentations that make them enjoyable and instructive. I have learned a great deal! God bless you and your wife; take care Tim.

Tim
I have been watching your videos for a few years now, and I must admit when I first starting watching, I said to myself, he is going to try and use an over grown lawn mower, as a tractor to do work. I can tell you over the last few years, I have had to eat those words, as Johnny 1 has more than pulled it's weight a number of times.
I have an old David Brown 990 with a loader 58 HP, and I am amazed at how well it works for being a 1967 and ridden hard and abused for the majority of it's life. As with many older tractors it was replaced by a modern tractor, and although still used, it was fixed with bubble gum, and duct tape, leaks here and there, and for the most part, needed a lot of little fixes to bring it back from the brink.
I have been thinking hard about a new tractor, and thinking I should get something over the 60hp range, as here there is no sales tax (15%) if it is rated for 60hp or more on the PTO. But as you can guess when you take that jump from 50ish to the larger tractors there is a $15000 increase in the sticker.
After watching your channel I must admit I really do not have a use for a tractor that large, and if I was honest I would have to admit Johnny 1 is doing mostly everything I need to do, except maybe the loader lift capacity. The other option is to buy a gently used tractor 10-15 years old, which do come along quite often, anywhere from the 300-2000 hour range.
So in closing I will say, you are a great asset to the tractor world, and bring great knowledge to others through your videos, keep up the good work.

I literally just bought this kit last night and can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for continuing to improve on your already great ideas!

[andrewanderson]

This was an excellent excellent video. I feel it really opens the door more for these tractors to be much more capable than we already know.

[wickedcoyote]

I would use “T” fittings and couplings instead of elbows at the valve block so you can still use the valve as a rear remote. Nice to see summit is continuing to help the sub-compacts.

[nealtubbs]

Great video Tim. You have great mechanical and design skills! Your weld looked perfect!!

[curtwhite]

The improved hydraulic system looks great. And based on many of the comments, it looks like folks have used it on other brands with great success.
I look forward to seeing the prototype box blade, with all those hydraulic hoses, it looks really versatile and easy to get a lot of work done fast. Really though, that would have made a great additional episode. I hope folks that might be interested in tackling a similar project are able to find it.

Nice to see new retail/commercial solutions with hydraulics.

[ncholas.w]

Man part of me wishes I waited, but I needed a grapple for a few jobs and couldn’t wait for this kit. I ended up routing hoses under the tractor with quick couplers connected to some hoses on the loader. It works great, but I might pick up a joystick controller just to make it easier to use and then I plan on moving the original switch block somewhere else, as I’ve found it’s in the way for most of the jobs I do.

I really appreciate your work on this kit, you have made my tractor more useful for more jobs!

[chrisreddick]

Oh my the pull behind box blade that’s sweet and of course the summit hydraulics are great too thanks Tim for the great information.

This was a great video Tim. Coupled with a new video "Choosing the right hydraulics" you did a couple of days ago all of my questions are answered. I normally like to go with oem solutions because the fit & finish is usually better then aftermarket. However I will be ordering a 1025R with a Mauser cab and thanks to you I will get the complete "ultimate" hydraulic solution from Summit....4 spool rear hydraulic with the Summit 3rd function and Summit Power Beyond kit. The only thing I wouldn't get (that you do with the oem 3rd function) is steel lines on the loader and that's ok. The complete Summit package looks pretty nice. I will just have to figure out how to mount it on the back with a Mauser cab but that shouldn't be to difficult. Thanks again.

[MattFoushee]

God bless you guys. Hope you're well this morning.

[Drewsadventures]

What a nice kit. And Tim the Deere 3rd function was not that bad to add I had 738 for mine love it.

I’m so ready for my 2038r

[wizzlefits]

The price and simple installation of the Ultimate Kit is VERY attractive! Looks like I might have to cash in my scrap pile. ;)

💥 You’re like Bill Ny the science guy of tractor hydraulics. The tractor community appreciates your expertise!
*Keep on tractoring!* 😁👍

[WichhartAcres]

sweet!! Welding projects are my fave right now! Thanks for posting!

[harryiv]

I am excited for more on that box blade!!

[michaelgagne]

Thank you for fixing my access issue to tractoruniverse, Tim, and I'm sorry I had to come back to The channel to ask. Maybe an easier contact method?
