I have the deere root grapple. The benefit of your setup is that you move everything with the bucket without leaving anything behind. With the root grapple, you can selectively pick up the big stuff and leave the dirt, small stone, or compost behind. Just different tools, each with its own benefits.
Good video brother. I like your style. Maybe you could do a video on the Summit Hydraulics setup on your tractor since I think this may be the next upgrade for my 1025R. Thanks.
I bought a used backhoe for $4k and the brackets were around $1300, power beyond was around $200. So about $5500 all in for me. New from the dealer, you’re looking at around $8500. 260b Backhoe Subframe installation (John Deere 1025r) ruclips.net/video/Rs5pS7NSgpM/видео.html
What do you suggest for chain storage? Where do you keep yours? Right now I have a 20 foot towing chain, laying on the floorboard of the tractor… there really isn’t any room to put a secondary toolbox especially when you have a backhoe like I do
I don’t keep a chain on the tractor. I have a few 10’ chains that use to tie down the tractor on my trailer that I keep in the box on the front of the trailer. If I need one to use with the tractor, I just grab one and throw it in the bucket. But Good Works Tractors sells some chain boxes that mount to your quick hitch, if you have one.
@@atticafireman I’m my opinion, not really. There are a lot of different styles of grapples though. I’m sure there would be certain types that are better than others at certain things, but in my eyes, the best grapple is the one that is always there. I love mine.
You should leave the rake, have 45 Years grading Landscape projects. When you put rake on 45° to wind row .It's nice to have it long.

Pretty good choice of equipment and great creative applications.

Love the video
I have a 2021 1025R with all the acc.you got except the summit Hydrolic ,but I plan to get the too 👍🏻‼️
Nice video and good choice of attachments. Just subscribed so will continue to follow your efforts.
Thanks!
I thank you Andy.
Great video sir.
Hey friend … wold love to get some details/links to where to get some of these attachments and mods. Keep up the good work.
Sorry, just updated the video description with all of the links.
Attachments are additives, so you should get them all.
Great video. Thinking about getting the 1025R with a backhoe. How do you like it so far?
I love it. I haven’t really “needed” the backhoe yet, but it’s very fun to use. As long as you have the time, you can accomplish quite a lot with it.
Was your tractor set up to receive backhoe from factory or did you have everything added if so could I ask how much it cost. Thanks Bill

Where did you get the button to open hood

can you provide hood release information please? Nice adds
and front axle vent information too
You need a hydrosplus kit
I agree. But I gotta wait a little bit on that.
I'm considering the Hydrosplus kit myself. Just recently got their hydraulic gauge and it works great for a simple solution.
Did you do the hydraulic upgrade?
Are you talking about the rear remotes?
What your total investment ? Thanks Glenn
