😄I think I suffer from adult ADHD... I am all over the place. I just posted a link on our Facebook channel of a comedian named @dudedad that has this bit called Just One More Day Construction where he never finishes a project and is on to starting 2-3 more... it's hilarious but is totally relatable to me. I'm pretty good about finding stuff if its where I left it last time, but I'm running into too many places to leave my stuff... back and forth to the barndo, haha. Thanks again Bob for watching and commenting!
Howdy Josh! Yeah that is pretty slick right there. I don't have anything to run off my rear PTO right now... but if I did I believe I might have to get one of those. Great product to highlight. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Right on! Both are cool products that filled a need and a space when nothing else like it existed. They have both been plagued by copy cats... Solid products though, can't wait to really put them through the paces.
That pto link looks pretty convenient but in all reality I been hooking up pto shafts for 50+ years and when maintained have no issues hooking mine up so I guess the link money will buy me a gang of beer lol
Excellent points Jim! Greasing them certainly helps in making them slide nice and easily... I think there is a pretty steep learning curve for new owners, partly from learning how to position and hook up the 3pt attachment first, maintenance of the shafts, and knowing to switch out of gear to allow some free spinning of the tractor PTO shaft. All good tips but I'm looking forward to trying this out to see how much easier it will be. I've scratched more than one apple watch face on the darn PTO shroud on the tractor... tight spaces... Some day may be I can tap into that beer reserve and hoist one together! lol Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks for mentioning it, I honestly hadn't thought about as being an issue until I noticed it when I rewatched the video last night. I don't often get in situations where I can lower further, but its worth checking out before i mess it up.
It is a value tractor but it is durable, reliable, and stylish. I dont' have any complaints about it and am still using it. The only gotcha right now is they don't have a belly mower that fits it unless you have the turf tires. That said they sent me a finish mower which I like. I recommend it provided your dealership is w/in a reasonable distance in case you do need support as they are still building out their network.
@@HardyBrothersOutdoors thank you right now I’m torn between getting one of these or upgrading to something more namebrand that has a lot of local locations for repairs if need be
@@rewindonetime I understand the struggle. I do have a John Deere 2032R as well and when I purchased it, it was because the proximity... hindsight I should have gone with someone even closer because it costs me over $350 to have them pick it up and return it for service...
@@HardyBrothersOutdoors oh wow yeah only thing near by us here in S.C. is Mahindra and Massey. I am leaning towards a 1635 Mahindra 7 year warranty well worth the extra cash
Every "Tractor-Brand" has its " plus's & minus's". But WHY are those "LOADER Stantions" SO LOW ? Those Loader-Arms are almost dragging the ground;--- maybe that's for visability ;- hanging 10-12" below the hood!. The other "Outstanding Feature" is those "Super-Wide-Glide" Rear tires of this "small tractor rig". Just seems like "Everybody & their Brother" BLOWS out the front axle spindle seals.... & l know why, because they CONSTANTLY Overload the front axles. As far as that "quicky PTO Gizmo" goes, l have Never had ANY problems ( hooking or Un-hooking) my PTO SHAFTS some 50 -150 times per year using the "standard-models". Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Yes I agree on every tractor has its pros/cons... I'm happy to have had the chance to now compare across 3 brands; Massey Ferguson, John Deere, and now Solis. Not sure on the reasoning for the loader arm position but haven't had any issues and they actually have really good vertical reach. Agree on the super wide tires, I didn't realize how wide they were until I did the recent hydraulic top link video and had the John Deere 2032R parked beside the H24... H24 had wider tires but 2032R were a bit taller. Definitely helps with the stability. Yeh, the PTO Link product is pretty handy but is not for everyone for sure. I'd say you have done well never having issues hooking up implements... I suppose with time one learns to keep the yokes and spindles well greased but I do like using the PTO Link simply for the extension beyond the PTO cover. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! All the best to you as well!

Thats the kind of thing that people say "Why didnt I think of that?" Great idea to make a PITA hookup much easier.
No doubt... i hate fighting the PTOs and they are a PITA for sure. It's a pretty cool product, can't wait to get some use out of it.
Can’t be to disorganized, you found your impact drill pretty quick. Nice install.

@@HardyBrothersOutdoors the shroud on the newer machines make it much more inconvenient and would never advise a novice to remove it but ... lol.
Wondering if you'll get interference with the Sawhaul clamp if you extend your bucket lower than level ground?

Looking at getting one how does it compare to other brands? New it is a 3-4k cost savings compared to yanmar and other brands maybe more

How is Holis? Repair part availability?
Solis has been good so far. Parts are fulfilled out of Arkansas. Nothing has needed replaced yet.
