never thought about a front blower?

Very well done, sir.

Thank you Agree with all in this review. Wish it could handle more leaves at a time.

Nice review and property! The rear axle is rated higher on 2025r vs 1025r, seems like it's a bigger axle.

good thorough review. i think i am going to get one preferably with the 70lb weights. my box blade for counter weight makes the tractor to long especially in the woods. can you see the hitch from where you sit on the tractor or are the big weights in the way? i am constantly moving trailers around on my property and i like to be able to see what i am doing. thanks

I am looking for a video to show how to sanitize and drain the fresh water tank on my 2022 16rb Caravel. Thanks!

Good tips. This has become a lost art with some. Definitely takes practice.

New subscriber. I’m in sw lower Michigan and have a 2025r too. Good stuff. Looking into getting a 3pt sprayer for my lawn. Have you ever used it for spraying from the boom?

Just so you know your feeding your big branches backwards, and your suppose to close the discharge cover before you put the bag on. Lot of people make that mistake.

Awesome! Thank you - I figured it might be something like that!

The PTO off the seat thing is a matter of order of operations. You are getting off the seat at the wrong time. 1) Tractor in neutral, parking brake set. 2) Start PTO normally, let go of switch once PTO is running. 3) While still in seat, hold the pto switch in again as if you were starting it (but it's already running) until the dash message appears. 4) While still holding down the switch, stand up out of the seat. 5) PTO should still be be running, and now you can release the switch and completely dismount the tractor.

On my 2025R I added a loader bracket mounted step to the right side, so I now have a step on each side. Wasn’t hard to do- take out top bolt first, attach through the step’s top bolt hole, tighten 3/4 way or so, then remove the bottom 2 bolts while top bolt holds the assembly in place, swing the step down to line up the bottom holes, install the 2 bottom bolts and then final tighten up all 3. I also added ‘grab handles’ to the top of the loader arm brackets on each side. Easy now to get up to seat from either side, with secure hand hold for both hands while climbing up.

Good video. I’ve had my 2023 model 2025R for a year now, 100 hrs on it. I’m in western UP Mich (Gogebic county) with mostly wooded acreage. Loader, backhoe, box blade & forks. No mower as I don’t have enough open lawn space for it. The tractor has done everything I’ve asked of it. As for storage / tool carry, you have to create your own. In your back end 2” receiver hitch you can plug in a car type hitch carrier platform & stack milk crates, etc. on it for tools, chains, etc.

Thanks for sharing- i need to find that video!

Good day sir, you can adjust the shifter so that it is smoother, there is a video on you tube that shows how to do it. Also I have a 2019 2025 R. I have 2000 hrs on it and have no complaints.😊

That's where I grew up. Sometimes I miss it, but the tourism is out of control now so I never go back. My grandparents built a cabin in the 60s south of Fountain Point and we'd spend as much of the summer as we could over there

I cant place my Bakflip between the rails. Its to tight. I have no idea how u did that.

If not buying again what would you buy instead

I have also owned this chipper for three seasons. I chip a lot of branches and limbs. When chipping 2-3" branches, the unit will break the crankshaft on the motor. I would highly recommend getting the warranty for this chipper. That will save you the time of repairing the motor yourself. If you did not buy the warranty or it has expired, then the crankshaft breaks, replace the motor with a new one and buy the warranty. Replacing the crankshaft yourself only save a little money. You will need a new crankshaft, gaskets and seals plus about 90 mins to 2 hours to tear down and reassemble everything. time is money. I purchased a new 212cc for $129 with the $49 warranty. I will swap it out when ver the engine breaks down and return the broken motor for replacement.

Love your hobie videos. I recently bought a used 2014 hobie wave and have watched your entire hobie play list. Keep them coming. I also use a jet ski boat lift for mine, the only difference being that I modified a double jet ski lift by joining or fusing the two cradles together to form one large cradle. I also removed one of the winches and ran the cable from the winch that remains across the entire span. It works great. To prevent it from blowing away I sunk 2 5' dock posts with augers into the bottom about 2' deep, centered on the hull and strap both the boat and lift to those posts. This past week we had a storm roll through with 70+ mph winds and it didn't blow away. Really happy with setup.

With the rack dropped down, can you still open the G2? I figured you could also drill new holes if you want a custom height.

Respectfully, I did not know people own them to use. I saw a person on a private wave and thought it was dumb. I just rented one and it was honestly a very fun boat that I enjoyed. I live in a community where basically everyone are rich. My sailing beach is coverd in hobie 26 17 18 tigers and tornados so I never thought someone would buy a wave. It’s honestly a great little boat. The only problem for me is how often it bow plows because of how low it sits. great video!

Sir, what type of liner do you have in your truck ?

Very good video, great refresher. You explain the concepts plainly and simply! Thanks!

The sail won't 'womp' (nice tribute to "Wind," btw) if you tighten the sheet to center as you gybe. Gybing is scary only if you neglect to handle the main. The womp becomes a snap of the battens, and then you release the sheet to your new point of sail.

There he is! Appreciate it

I like the explanations in layman’s terms. How strong was the wind? I owned a Wave and I bought a crazy cheap Getaway on Facebook. I sold the Wave mainly because it didn’t have wings. I trailer the boat and the Wave was definitely easier to rig and sail.

Buy husqvarna bar oil and mix your own oil and gas using huskvarna oil. Spend a bit more on the bar oil and save on the fuel. Just my 2 cents.

Had mine 4 years. No issues...love it

Good video

Thanks for these vids. More please!

Thanks for this video. Just what me and the kids needed 👍🏻

Do you have a link for the carbineer parts you are using for the bridle hooks? I think mine are pins. I had a hard time hooking in the forestay, and had to move the shroud pins up to get enough slack to hook the forestay. Seems like that would be easier with the beeners rather than trying to get a clevis pin and ring in. Also comment on what ring from top or bottom you are attaching for forestay, bridle hooks and the side shrouds if you would. Tks!

Have you checked the valve lash? I have one hemi and a non hemi that is original with my chipper pull start has alwags been easy. Main thing i have an issue with is bogging on thicker branches.

You used the wrong bolts that is why you needed to pile on washers. Also why not drill two extra holes on each pillars for the correct height to clear the cab and still low enough for garage fit? Seems like an easy task…

I’ve had mine almost 3 years. I noticed some paint coming off on the part you grab to move it. They sent me a new canister. I’m happy with it overall.

Awesome video can't wait to see your other ones

Water does get in the box, but it flows out through the drain tubes (assuming they are not clogged)

can you sit on those wings? if not, can they be changed to the ones like on the getaway?

Nice clear safety tips. Good reminders. I have the 2025 and same sticking with the shifting. I just push the reverse a little to get it to move without forcing it.

Is the padding on the leaning bar standard? I would love this boat but I would have to take it to the lake and take the mast down when I take it home. I grew up with a 9 foot cat yak that I couldn't get replacement parts for. I had so much fun on that boat.

Thanks for the info

I like the steps on your tractor. Who makes those?

Great video! I've sailed a Sunfish about a dozen times. Would you say the learning curve to a Wave is easy?

thank you!

You can program the tractor to shut off that backup safety crap.

Can you drive in the other locking positions without it closing on it's own? Supplier says it's only meant for loading and unloading.

firing Americans for refusing a dangerous and experimental drug is gay. especially when said drug turned out to be deadly and ineffective.. makes it gay and dumb. therefore your hat is gay and dumb

thx buddy,helpfull indeed

What is the best website to find a hobie wave?
