1025r: Rake review and use

- My neighbor just so happens to be unloading a landscape rake, and I just so happen to be looking for one. It's rusty and stiff, but lubrication is the key to success. Check out the pick up and then a trial run.
You are lucky to find a used one !! We have been looking for some time now and people don't like selling their toy's . Great video,,Thanks
Drill a hole in the yoke and put in a grease fitting so you can grease that pivot point. It will last longer than the penetrating oil. They make grease fittings in both threaded and press fit. I did that with a 6’ blade of mine and it worked very well.
Just make sure you drill through just the yoke. It usually has just enough “slop” that you can do it without drilling through both pieces of pipe.
Any day you can pick up another implement is a good day. Especially for $ 200.00 !!!! Nice find.
I know it is kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online?
@Kristian Silas i would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
When backing up you may want to extend your top link out so the tines aren't pointing into the ground. Great find!
Thanks for the info!
Merry Christmas my God Bless you
If you don’t have a stand for it yet an old jack stand works great . Keep up the good work with the cabins
8:41 I like how you turned it around and went backwards with the rake. It looked to me like going backwards did a better job.
Great find.
I have a 1025r and prefer the box blade over a rake. It seems the rake doesn't work very well but that was a great find.
They aren’t a very heavy implement so 6 foot rake should be a piece of cake 👍
I've often wondered if these were any good. Thank you sir, i can see their okay. I wouldn't mind having one i just can't justify paying $500.00 bucks for something i would not have any use for. Maybe oneday i can make a find like tou did. Thank you
Didn't look like you were in 4 wheel drive at the beginning, but I see later on you were in 4 wheel.. To get the rake to work a little better, looses the top link so that when you lower the implement it lands "more straight up and down" perpendicular to the earth.
Great deal you got there . I think it does a better job turned around and backing up . Yes you can even use it on the driveway . Just clean it up a bit next spring some green paint and it will look brand new . I think you might need to get more storage shelving . LOL
Henry Rodgers green paint is definitely in its future.
Nice find, I've been eyeing a rake. It looks like I have somewhat similar wooded areas to yours. Any complaints with the rake? I need something to clean up sticks/branches before pulverizing.
No complaints, just wider then what I’m used to so I can’t daydream while using it.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 Angle grinder with a cutoff wheel will take it to the size you want and give you spare tines
Howdy! Where did you get that little green handle bolted onto the ROPS on the left side? I haven't seen you mention it in a video...
Came as is. Not sure if that is a 2018 and beyond or because I have the backhoe.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 I did some more digging and discovered it's part of the backhoe package. For $143 I could buy one from Deere and install it standalone (I don't have the backhoe), but that's a bit much for a piece I just think looks cool. ;-) Also - Hello from another cabin dweller (in CO)!
They take alot better if you remove every other tine. When you have than many tines and that type of debris it's more like a back blade.
I just bought a 5 foot Rake for a sub compact tractor by "County Line" from Tractor Supply I have a John Deere 2025R Tractor. Is the rake supposed to be level or does it matter?
You would want it level by adjusting your bottom link most of the time. Unless you have some serious terrain issues or your trying to change the pitch of your area.
Where did you get those forks ?
What type of video equipment do you typically use?
For Cameras I mostly use my iPhone 10, sometimes on a gimbal using the Filmic pro app. I'll use my air pods for a wireless mic, they sometimes get distorted, but it is quick and easy. I have a Mavic pro drone shots. Occasionally I use a second camera for B roll. I mostly edit with imovie. For narrations I've been using the blue snowflake mic. Have a good Christmas!
Good find, did the width make a difference.
John Deno Not at all, just have to keep in mind it much wider than my other attachments.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 just wondering if it is too wide cut it to the right width, no loss.
Need the width when you angle it
Nice find for 200 bucks!
Tighten up your turn buckles on the lower 3 point arms, you can take out a lot of the sway.
Thanks!
he doesn't want to you absolute muppet
Try "PB Blaster"
I truly believe if you remove the bucket it would make a difference!

I have a landscaping rake and keep it on my tractor 90 percent of the time and it is nice, but you do have to stop often and remove limbs and brush which get caught in the rake. They have to be lubed regularly also to keep them from not turning into the correct position too. You paid too much probably, but it seem to work for you and not breaking any tines.
I know this comment is a year old but darn, I can't see how $200 for a 5 foot York rake is too much. I just don't see it.
Nice Indian under the implement
Spray some green one it
Jonathan Guess will do!
Jonathan Guess will do!
on* learn how to spell knob
@@booAHHHH Lighten up Human Spooge. You know how autocorrect works right??
It’s too big for your tractor hight wise but for 2 bills you can shorten or even buy new tines.
did nobody not notice that Indian??:)
Yeah, with the rake on TOP of it!!!
