These two are adorable together.
Fun day for the tow of you to work together as a great team.
Removing those obstacles will make mowing easier for sure!
I keep a short piece of lightweight chain on my tractor all the time. It really comes in handy for any number of tasks.
Love the coms can’t wait for the video on them. I just keep commenting in hopes you will make one. I appreciate all the hard work you two put into the videos
Keep pushing. I need to study and test some more details so that I can do an accurate and thorough comparison.
Awww. I was so happy when we got martins in our Martin house. This year no martins, but we had two families of barn swallows. Anything that eats flying insects is equally welcome. Cat-like reflexes, Tim.
"What does that say?" 10:23 Ha!! (That's what I was thinking too). "It says I'd better keep my mouth shut!"
I am impressed with the ventrac every time I see it being used. Keep up the great work. God Bless you and your family.
It's been a while since Tim has been able to burn the pile. Tim is in the zone when burning
Thank you, Tim and Christy, for sharing a good video and the great message.
18:38 "I'm lazy!" - then continues to do more yardwork than many have done all year 😂😂
Great video loved the assistance you got from Kristy then your comment 😂both of you are great I enjoy watching👍🏻
Feels good to clean up some “obstacles” in yard life. I feel better😉 Blessings.
Absolutely, y'all just have had bigger fish to fry. It's great that you're actually having time to get to it now to mow easy. And we get to watch equipment work, win win.
Great video, got me motivated to pull several chain link fence posts that I needed to get”gone”. Using my 1025R with hooks on the bucket as my pull pointAppreciate your videos.
This makes me want a tractor so bad 🤣🤣🤣
Yep. Just small projects around the house. On their own, none of them justify a tractor, but all together, they DO!
The Iron Fist is by far my favorite attachment. It's amazing what you can do with it. I use the same configuration as you do. I really need to make a video using it. GREAT for clearing underbrush and moving logs.
Per the usual Tim is at it again, doing somethinf with a tractor! I kove it!
I believe those tabs on the chain are the depth guages. Having the depth guages set properly makes a difference.
AKA rakers
Love that stump grinder! My 3 point mounted is great, but it would be nice to not rack my neck 😄
Good point. Still, the 3 point model is quite cost effective, so I guess it is worth the trip to the Chiropractor!
@@TractorTimewithTim 🤣🤣🤣
Tim I like using a chain for projects like this as well. Recently I came across a great way to store my 10' chain on my 1025R. It is a MOTO4U Motorcycle Off-Road Universal Waterproof Tool Tube that I found online. The 80mm size holds a 10' chain nicely. The tube bolt holes match perfectly with the existing bolt holes on my rops. I mounted it on the inside of the rops using the top bolt of the safety light unit. The 110mm size tube probably also matches the rops bolt holes. But no TTWT discount, at least not yet!!!
Tim moving the bigger tree looked like a little dog that found the biggest stick possible pleased with himself smiling the whole time.
Tim, thanks for the video. I noticed that you were lifting from one side of your loader. I have wondered if I need to worry about doing this and "tweaking" something. I guess it worked fine and I shouldn't worry.

Notice that the rear wheel came off the ground. As long as something can ‘give’ one won’t have issues.
Hey tim, you can get 2 in 1 files from stihl, i have one and use it most days on my saws, brilliant tools that sharpen the teeth and file down the rakers in 1 pass. Takes a few minutes to sharpen a chain.
Yo Tim. I wrote John Deere, looks like the letters worked.
Thanks for the heads up
Job just needed a woman’s touch right Christie? 😆 I would’ve cut the stump all the way to the ground prior to grinding. If I lived local I would’ve taken the Martin house. Thanks for the video. Horseshoes gave me an idea.
martins and swallows are good to have around - they keep bugs down
I went to the Artillian website to look at those Iron Fist grapples. Every time I tried to order one, their website seemed to have a problem. Also, Artillian did tell me that their grapples will not fit on a Frontier fork frame, but a local dealer told me that Artillian forks and frames meet the same dimensional standards as the rest. I am not impressed with Artillian's customer service. SO, I went on eBay and fortunately found a seller handling ProWork's clamshell grapple. Had a bit of trouble with shipping screw-ups, but finally got it and absolutely love it. Completely different style of grapple.
The Artillian Iron Fist looks amazing, but also is so complex and looks rather frail. Would love to see you put it through the wringer as you have other grapples to see how much it can take without distorting.
GREAT video, A good job for any subcompact tractor.. 😊
Tim, It's good to see I'm not the only one to forget pins :). Also It's good to see you not jamming at the posts withbthe tractor. It's a good reminder that the loader has psi limits and by running at it you exceed them. You blow loader hoses at least. How do I know?
Great video!
The tabs on the chain are depth gauges or "rakers" and if you're paying for sharpening, they need to be hitting those every time. If I'm lightly touching up a chain that's not all that dull, I'll do one round file swipe and not touch the depth gauges for a couple times. Assuming they're doing it with a grinder, they'll want to do them every time.
The shop I used to take my chains to stopped grinding the rakers down, liability. I bought a 3 in 1, stihl and pefrd make them. Very little effort, and I have a sharp chain.
I'd like to see another review after you've had your chipper for a while and maybe it ran on a bigger tractor
Those horseshoes backstops were buit to last! Those posts were really deep compared to their height.
I figured the trees were an afterthough or you would have stacked them before you started the fire.
I hope someone claims that Martin hotel, it seemed to be in great shape.
I think a grapple on a compact tractor is the handiest attachment. I wish I had one ☹️. Thanks for sharing your experience.
If the finance committee approves
There called rakers Tim and your right if there not taken down when the chain is being sharpened it won’t cut right.
You could take and shape them little trees into shapes
I have a square tube I use to hold 2 swinging gates. Same scenario, same results. That warm rusty water pissin down my arm was shocking!😅
Most likely your original chain from stihl was square ground which cuts the fastest but gets dull faster then you have them ground and most likely there make them into a round style grind instead of the factory style.
Those tabs in between teeth are called rakers. They clear the chips as they are cut. Stihl makes a sharpner/jig that sharpens the teeth and brings the rakers down at the same time. If you don’t file the rakers down, your teeth will become shorter than the rakers and not allow the teeth to cut anymore. The more you file the rakers down the more aggressive of a cut you’ll get.
Tim the rakers or depth gauges if they are not filled down enough the teeth don’t get cleared out like they should also if they are not getting the gullet or the semi circular part of the tooth sharpened it also causes the chain to get clogged in the cut
Tim, With the grapple why would you not be in the center of the grapple to do you the lifting square with machine. Thanks Eric
Those clamping jaws are quick acting!
Such an expert with your tractor!
My 2520 doesn’t have a loader and wish I had added when new.
Is your stump grinder expensive?
Shopgreendealer.com use code ttwt for 5% off…but only until the end of July. Baumalight 1P24.
You can still get a compatible loader for 2520 I think
@@TractorTimewithTim $7000 is the quote from SN partners
@@conniedunn627yep. Sounds about right.
Cylinder speed on the iron fist, remember that's Johnny X and if I recall it's got the Hydros Plus kit on it so a regular 1025 might not be so bad? I like the concept but it certainly looks like it's very heavy??? As always, thanks for sharing. PS: Thanks for sharing the snake scene. I love it when something happens to me like that. After the initial EEEEK I wind up laughing my butt off. 🙂
Tim see if you have a safety chain on that little saw? I've never looked at one but I bet it does. I won't use a safety chain because they just don't cut. As mechanical as you are you should sharpening your own chains. Never let a man that sells chains sharpen yours! If you'd rather not use a file the Harbor Freight chain sharpener isn't half bad for the price. I pull the grinder wheel down and push the chain into it. It doesn't require much and you should get several sharpenings from a chain. Another good thing about sharpening your chains is you won't run one when it starts to dull, you'll change it faster because it isn't a problem. Believe it or not I'm not affiliated with any chain sharpener companies! lol
My grandpa ran a sqwmill and would file the rakers all the way smooth. You had to be careful using his saws
Deere backed off 😬
I’m anti bird with our deck. Every year they try to make nest, fly into our slider glass etc. No more 👍🏻
Better keep my mouth shut! LOL
Yah they must not be taking down the rakers on that chain. Get the Stihl sharpener with the orange handles and the 3 files. Super fast and effective. A couple of passes on each raker with a flat file and then try it.
Sounds like the bar may be worn flat on the chain saw. Might try flipping it over. I flip mine every other sharpening.
@TractorTimewithTim, how are the 'newly' planted trees along the neighboring field doing? Did they all survive? Just curious.
All survived! They look pretty good. Growing slowly as you would expect from Oaks.
Upgrade your chain Tim, get a professional style chain. You will notice a huge difference.
Hello Tim
I would like to have the Martin house.
Could you please send me a location ?

If you still have it I can come next week to get it. I wouldn’t want to disturb your weekend.

2 questions. 1. Is it ok to flex the tractor and loader like that? I do it often with my tractor but I’m always wondering if it’s ok to be doing or if I will break/bend something on the loader, an axle or even the frame. 2. If you had to choose between Artillian’s original grapple or the Iron Fist, which would you go with. I’ve been debating between the two.
I would choose original. As long as tractor rear wheel is coming off the ground like this, there is no worry. Something must give, as long is something CAN give, you won’t have issue
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks!
they are called rakers !!!
Pulling up with one side of the loader doesn't tweak your frame?
Nope. Not when the entire tractor can ‘give’ . Will only have issue when nothing has a chance to relieve the pressure.
pavers ... not papers ... at the firewood .. i turned the volume up after thaa!:)
imagine a tractor ( not a Woke green one ), with Ventrack type attachments ?
If you cant get dragon flies a Martin house will devour flying insects,
Lucky you did not bend loader or loader frame. Pulling from one side of the loader can be costly.
👍👍
Check to see if the chain is on backwards on your chainsaw.
I’ve done that before!!
What’s the big hump in the yard
Left over dirt from pond excavation.
🇨🇦👍
If those posts are pressure treated they should not be burned poisonous fumes.
First comment 🙃
Did you get threatened to take down the DEI video?
No. Was not contacted by Deere or any other company. Took it down of my own volition. Turns out this worked fine. Happy to take the W. I don’t think their statement goes far enough, but I am thankful to see them backing off of the funding of these events
No concerns with torquing the loader so hard vs centering the chain to pull the metal posts out!
Not really. Notice how it simply picked up the rear tire of the tractor. Not enough weight or hydraulics to really damage anything.
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks! God bless
Another good video. Also read a press release from Deere that they are stopping the DEI programs and going back to focusing on their products.
"will no longer participate in or support external social or cultural awareness parades, festivals or events," will be "auditing all company-mandated training materials and policies to ensure the absence of socially motivated messages" and "reaffirming within the business that the existence of diversity quotas and pronoun identification have never been and are not company policy."
