    It's a grapple, it's a snow pusher, it's a landscape rake, it's everything !! You keep putting out informative and enjoyable content with just the right amount of salesmanship. Keep up the good work.

    Even the least convenient option with levers to control the grapple opening and closing is much more convenient than having to pull, push and pick up stuff by hand.

    Hey Courtney, just want to put out there. I’m not a person who like to buy things off line. But I do want to tell people you are a super person to deal with . You listing to what I needed gave me a good price and got it ship right away to me. I won’t not hesitate to buy from you again. Thank again Phil.

    I ordered the summit kit the day your install video came out. I was informed after ordering that the kit for the 1025r is now on back order. When I called summit, the guy said "ever since that GWT video came out, we have been bombarded with orders. But we are going to try and get them out by the end of next week". It just goes to show you the power of your RUclips channel. Thanks for making these videos.

    Great video. That reinforced the decision I made last year for my grapple.
    Although I did make one modification by welding some expanded mesh to the bottom "forks" of mine to help catch some of the smaller twigs, leaves and other trash. That reduced the amount of stuff I had to move by hand afterwards during clean up.

    • @GoodWorksTractors
      @GoodWorksTractors  4 года назад

      Yeah, thought about some sort of mesh or even a solid scraping blade to bolt or clamp on.

  • @timsawyer7443
    @timsawyer7443 4 года назад +2

    I wish I had known all of this before I bought my BC-4215 (from GWT, of course!), but I'd probably still have gone in the same direction, because I'm cheap -- lol!
    I do like the BrushCrusher, but I wish I could get the bottom teeth vertical (or even close) at about 3+ feet off of the ground. It's hard to drop my load into a big pile (no double entendre intended, I swear!!!) the way it is. Other than that though, the BrushCrusher is doing what I need it to do pretty well!

  • @mr.gtmsworld2494

    Thanks for the info My Summitt Diverter will arrive Monday for my 1025R Ordered right after your video. Now I am starting to shop for grapples. I am looking real close at the Artillian I like the modular approach because i keep everything in a two car garage, but the cost is a bit prohibitive

    • @harrison9206
      @harrison9206 4 года назад +1

      You are lucky, I ordered my diverter kit later that night and mine is on back order. No big deal though. As far as grapples, I went through the same thought process as you. I loved the artillian, but it was not in the budget. Luckily, my JD dealer had a frontier AV20F in stock that he sold me for 1375 and picked it up that day. Although I can't use it yet, I like the looks of it and think it will do what I want it to do.

      It'll come soon enough. Crazy times we're living in. Demand is through the roof which kind of came out of nowhere. Couple that with increased safety protocols, shortstaff for quarantines, and it's a perfect storm. Tough for manufacturer's right now. Thanks for following along!

    So interesting! Every video you're publishing is very instructive and I would have never thought I would have learnt so many technical, commercial and safety information. Lucky to have such a large choice of equipment in the US, I'm leaving in France and let's say that the market and aftermarket for such compact tractors is not so developed: we are missing a lot of equipment and we shall stick to a very limited number of attachments and also advices from the sellers. Let's take box blades for example: many sellers I contacted never heard about it, and none of them have taken my request as serious : the only answer is... 'Don't know what you're speaking about.... (show them what it looks like) Oh, this is it... Not available! Bye...'. I'm then currently contemplating the opportunity to import some of the US available attachments to France.

    I had the dealer add the JD 3rd function kit to my 2025R before I took delivery. $1800 but there were some overall discounts. JD was just starting to ship the kits and It was the first one my dealer had installed. Actually it was 2 kits. 1 for the loader and 1 for the tractor. 14 and 32 page instructions. Dealer really botched the loader install. I took it back for them to correct. I have my fingers crossed that the tractor side is correct. I can see all the screws for connectors under the floor board were not used.
    I have used it for angling on the loader mounted snow plow. My next purchase may be a grapple.

    • @GoodWorksTractors
      @GoodWorksTractors  4 года назад

      Man, that's expensive. I have seen a dealer take apart a 1025r to install that 3rd function. A crazy amount of labor involved. The tech also didn't seem to be enjoying himself, haha.

  • @rickyhorsburgh6581
    @rickyhorsburgh6581 4 года назад +1

    I didn't think I'd like a diverter but it came on my tractor and having put 30 hrs or so on it now I can say it works great there is a very slight delay as it engages (could just be the diverter I have) but once U expect that it works flawlessly.if I had the curl and roll at the same time I admit it would be slightly more effective and efficient having had experience in skid steers and other 3rd function capable machines in my past. Personally with my experience if I was full time contracting on my tractor I'd get a full 3rd function but for anyone else I would strongly recommend the diverter as a great option

      Summit might have a kit for that series. Many of their kits don't include hoses, so always verify with them. They are starting to custom make kits, like the 1025r, but that's a slow roll out. One model at a time. You can always get hoses made up at a local shop. The kit is the important part to get right.

      Getting longer hoses is pretty common and your local JD dealer should be able to do that for you. However, not much you can do about the weight of the grapple. It is unfortunately very heavy for your tractor. Perhaps you could return or sell off without losing much? I'd typically recommend a grapple within the 300-450 lb range for your tractor.

Event track dealer told me that they could add the additional hoses for the front for around $500. However, I was thinking about getting an older model since they are so durable of a tractor, but I need the third function in order to have their grapple that goes on their power bucket.

    I am always amazed at the thumbs down people. What kind of mental deformity is it that drives one to thumb down a great informative video, one such as this. That is some weird psychology going on there.

      Haha, fortunately the thumbs up drown out the small handful of downers. I appreciate your support! Have a great day!

    Hair and cleaned shaved makes you look very young I think you need to go back to the older look!!

      @@GoodWorksTractors i own a tree farm and co-own a saw mill, but my main source of income is securities litigation consulting. Being in my 40s I try to have at least three months beard growth and two weeks hair growth before a major case. Eventhough those involved can guess your age based on your CV, they take you more seriously looking 50ish with a "salt and pepper" beard and hair vs 30ish, clean shaven with hair short enough to not show greys.
