I got my son a 1025r for landscaping and mowing. I just delivered the 1025r for them to put a mower deck on it! Can’t Wait to see his reaction!! A 1025r is a heck of a tractor!
I would like to thank you for your service. I am a paid emr in Pennsylvania and we have a lot of precautions in place as well. Keep up the amazing videos, it gives me something to watch on slow days or down time at work, and also ideas on what my next attachment might be for my 1025R!
I have the Bro-Tek ripping shank you mentioned. I generally just use it and not the bucket because you want the roots as firmly in the ground as possible so you can cut through them. I've seen some newer competitors that have teeth on the inside of the shank that I think might be an improvement. When you try to lift a heavy object over the lip of your bucket, you limit your lift capacity. I often remove the bucket and attach my chains directly to the bucket clamps. This moves the center of lift closer to the tractor and increases the lifting capacity; think about a lever the closer you can choke an object, the more you can lift. I see you have a newer model 1025r but, if the differential lock lever is the same as the older ones, you may want to check out 'Bolt On Hooks'. He has a pedal that fastens onto the little rod JD provides and it makes using it (and remembering to use it) much easier. Happy digging.
Here's a trick you may want to try. Run the chains across the back of the bucket. This puts the weight closer to the pivoting point allowing your tractor to lift more. Just watch your hydraulic lines and ozert fittings and such. Don't ask me how i know. Hahaha If the weight goes out the front of the bucket it multiplies the weight and reduces the useful load dramatically. Best of luck
Using your chains over the cutting edge of your bucket you loose about two feet of lifting leverage. Drop the chains behind the bucket, you will gain just a few hundred pounds lift.
I've got 2 trees that I cut down that are 46" across on the surface of the stump. I've dug one out that needed to go for my fence build now I will work on the rest of the stumps. I started with the 16" bucket and there were a lot of roots close together that I needed broken out the way amd that's when I picked up the root ripper and oh man was it worth every penny. I've got some side work with 13 stumps and a other has about 45 stumps the root ripper is fantastic.
If you straighten out your backhoe while doing front loader work, it’ll equal out the weight on the rear of the machine and the boom and dipper will “hang” out more providing better equal ballasts to both rear wheels. Just sayin! Nice vid!
Good video. I've got a 1025 myself and I'm continually being amazed at what these machines are capable of. If you haven't seen it yet, John at Louisiana Tractorworks & Projects did a nice 2 part video on the BXpanded Root Ripper and Trenching bucket. I recommend checking it out. I never realized I needed one until I watched his video . It's the next implement I'll be getting for sure. Stay safe and have a great day.
I also looked at the Expanded ripper tooth and then decided for fun to make my own out of an old plow blade edge using a similar design. It works great in conjunction with the bucket. Usually excavate first with the bucket (since the tooth only reaches down about a foot) and then switch to the tooth to rip up or off
Roots or even pieces of the stump. Once you break it loose, then saw off the trunk which is just dead weight and limits your ability to get the stump up and out. I got a mechanical thumb for my BX23S and can’t imagine working without. Very strongly recommended.
I have the 16" bucket on the hoe and also bought the quick attach and Ripper from bxpanded. Also bought the 6" bucket from bxpanded, but haven't used it. I have only used the ripper on smaller stumps. When I ordered it took a few months for my stuff to come in and I ended up using my 16" bucket for most of the stumps I took out as I didn't want to wait. I'm not sure how many I did, guessing between 15-30. I used the ripper on a few smaller stumps I missed some how and it worked really well, I didn't use the bucket at all and made less of a mess. The ripper saved me on the very first stump I tried, it was close to another tree and I couldn't get my 16" bucket in there and that ripper was small enough to get in there and rip the roots and finally get the stump out. The very first stump I tried with my 1025r and wasn't impressed and then then doing others and using that ripper has really changed my mind. It takes some time, but once you get the hang of it, it is very simple. I did a group of stumps in one area of probably 5 8" trees and several small ones or so and did it all in one day. I had a huge hole dug. Probably 4ft down and 10ft long and 4ft wide and wasn't sure I was going to get all the dirt back in and was also hoping I had enough. Was something and wished I would have taken video or pictures of it. Used the rototiller to smooth everything out and planted grass then.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 Yes, it's nice as well. Still have to mess with one pin and I have problems with the Lynch Pin staying on at times. But worth it if changing a lot.
Rear differential lock wouldn’t of helped when back tires are coming off ground. Before cutting next tree, run a cable to top of tree. Pulling on a tree from 25’-30’ feet up when it has a 3’ radius root ball is a LOT of mechanical advantage. You’d be surprised by how much you can pull over.
Very nice video. It would be nice to have a bit more weight in the back for that job. You definitely were air borne in the back on some of those lifts where you couldn't go in reverse. I do enjoy watching people do things in different ways like stump removal.
Great job! I love to see the backhoe work on stumps. I saw in a few videos back you used a receiver that had a quick attach to the front of your bucket for moving a trailer, where did you find that? I really like your set up for your implements also. Great organization for the space you have under the shed.
www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/trailer-moving/clamp-on-bucket-hitch/192100.html?lang=default I use it all the time, and just added the carrier for our garbage cans.
My opinion is, if you have any type power equipment, use it instead of manually digging whatever. Common sense is just that... I've hand dug out very large stumps before. Don't ever want to do that again! Thumbs Up!
Good work on the stump. But as to the video, the best sounds are the natural sounds of the tractor and the narration. The music can be distracting, and if I mute it, I don't get the narration. Looking forward to your future videos. Stay Safe.
I get various feedback on the audio. Some don't like the audio if I speed up the video to mute it, some want to here the tractor. I just try to keep the video and audio at a pace that it doesn't get too boring. Thanks for watching, Tom
Pulling heavy loads like that, instead of trying to lift it off the ground (which was causing some of your tires to come off the ground & not have good traction) just try pulling it & lift up just enough to keep the nose of the stump from digging into the ground as you drag it. I think you’d get the most production from your tractor like that.....
The 1025 seems a little weak with the loader lift and pulling power. Seemed like the backhoe isn’t as strong as other sub-compacts I’ve seen work. Or maybe it’s just me.
Definitely better to use a Y configuration, like he did. Once he had just the short chain on the stump, he probably could have lifted it clear of the hole using curl function, as curl can lift more weight than raising the loader booms, instead of trying to drag it out.
Great work with the backhoe. Just wondering why you speed up the recording so often. I would mind the video being a few minutes longer if you ran the entire video at normal speed. I like to hear the sounds of the tractor working and I can watch how you do things to learn more. God Bless and stay safe
I get analytics from youtube on my videos. For example a 15 minute video might show an average viewing time of 6 minutes, so folks are skipping or FFing. So I try to keep things moving at an interesting pace. Thanks so much for Wathing! Stay healthy, Tom
We have just shy of 3 acres in Northern Ohio and 15 acres in Southern Ohio. Both have long gravel driveway which was probably our number for our tractor purchase. The brush hog was another big reason especially in Southern Ohio. I sold my ATV and use the tractor for snow removal and other jobs the ATV did. We found so many more things to use, for more then we imagined.
I'll see what I can do. It does remind me of the dentist office. I do get people asking not to speed them up, or they want to hear the actual tractor sound, or you should play more music. So it's
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 Thanks much. I don't mind the speed ramps. Drop in a tune with it that's cool. I like hearing the tractor too, not at high speed:)

Much more capable than you realize. Take Care, Tom
Great job with the backhoe, I also have a 1025r it never ceases to amaze me with what it can do
Well done. Ive dug up quite a few big tree stumps with my lil johnny as well. Just finished digging one up here last week

How nice that gardening season is just around the corner. You should have a nice size plot to grow from. Enjoy!

You did a good job, well done !
Sure seems like that was a rewarding project to get done. Good job!
Have fun watching your videos. Sure could use a JD on my place. I’m retired fireman with some pulmonary issues. Hard to do projects sometimes.
Nice job on the stump! Those can be a challenge.

Thanks for your Input, although it may cost me more money on a ripper:)
The greatest stump grinder in the world, a Backhoe. And no decaying hole to fill in year after year.
If you straighten out your backhoe while doing front loader work, it’ll equal out the weight on the rear of the machine and the boom and dipper will “hang” out more providing better equal ballasts to both rear wheels. Just sayin! Nice vid!

Thank you for the info. I think that a one 2 punch with the bucket and ripper would be the way to go..
That turned out nice.
I have a root hook on a 2305. It is great on bushes and on tree stumps of about 7 inches or less. you have very little hole left.
I've been watching all the videos I can on the 1025R. Mine is being delivered tomorrow morning.

It might be in my future, but I think I am all stumped out for a bit.
Little jd did a fine job

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sound like a ripper is in my future. Did you get the quick change kit?

I used the metal plate on the tractor that the snow blower attachs too lower then the loader and would pull better

Once you got that stump dug out, I would have hooked the chain to my pick-up and pulled that stump out.
What kind and what weight range are those jacks you welded to your trailer? Looks like a great accessory to my trailer. Thanks for the video
2000lbs each.
i looked at bxpanded ripper but ended up making one useing a box blade ripper i start with ripper and donot usually use bucket
like soft gutiar music in background

What is the large tank in your shed for, fuel? Kind of getting ideas on building stuff on my property.
I collects rain water for our garden area. Highlighted in this video.czcams.com/video/zbq9pSDqCsQ/video.html
I predict you’ll break a shear bolt or two digging those post holes. 🤭
Do you think a tooth bar would help your loader bucket dig better/faster?
The 1025 seems a little weak with the loader lift and pulling power. Seemed like the backhoe isn’t as strong as other sub-compacts I’ve seen work. Or maybe it’s just me.
I have to say the wet compact mud in the root ball is heavier then it looks. Stay healthy, Tom
I don't think I would try to pull that hard on a hook in the center of the bucket. I've seen the bucket bend pretty easy.
Definitely better to use a Y configuration, like he did. Once he had just the short chain on the stump, he probably could have lifted it clear of the hole using curl function, as curl can lift more weight than raising the loader booms, instead of trying to drag it out.
Doesn’t it feel great when it breaks loose ?
Great Vid, from retired FD. So bottom line Ripper yes or no?
once you get to this point 4:55 you should use a snatch block set up.. and just pull it out..save you some time.

Dzięki za oglądanie
dig until the roots are in the way then rip with backhoe
Arrgg the music
ITS TOY TRACTOR
You should shut the sound off when you speed up the film.
How big of a property do you have? Im trying to justify a 1025 or similar
We have just shy of 3 acres in Northern Ohio and 15 acres in Southern Ohio. Both have long gravel driveway which was probably our number for our tractor purchase. The brush hog was another big reason especially in Southern Ohio. I sold my ATV and use the tractor for snow removal and other jobs the ATV did.

During your high speed ramps on the video could you please turn the audio off. That high pitch noise is absolutely annoying.
I'll see what I can do. It does remind me of the dentist office. I do get people asking not to speed them up, or they want to hear the actual tractor sound, or you should play more music. So it's
