I have seen on tractor time with Tim the trick he used to save his gravel was to cut a slit down the length of a pipe to fit over the edge and then drill a hole at each end to fasten a ratchet strap for securing it to the bucket. It can be used for any edge to ride over without disturbing the stone too much.
I bought the TYM TY 264, same tractor as the T 25 minus the air ride seat, lights on the roll bar, a tool box and they changed the heights on the controls. I bought it the spring before last and it has the Kukje engine. I was a Yanmar fan but I did some research an the Kukje actually makes diesel engines for Cummins and for a while they made tractors of Deere. The tractor is a hard start cold even 50 degrees or so. I bought an engine block heater and if I am going to use the tractor when it is really cold I plug it in for 30 minutes or so. No problems starting now. I researched the top brands and The TYM out performs them all in every comparison and in my case I saved over $4k NOT buying the orange or green one and the dealer is on county over, 45 minutes and I saved right at another thousand in taxes. Couldn't be happier and everyone I watch on here loves them!
Ya, I heard Kukje was a good engine. I love my tractor. I kinda wish I would have gotten the cab but I'm definitely happy with the power these little tractors have. Thanks for watching!
Like ur videos. I have same tractor, abot 30 hrs on it. Watched ur 50 hr service video debating if I should take bak to dealer to do 50 hr service or jus my self. I seem to have hydronic leak some where. Had to add little 2xs. Not sure if I’m losing some taken backhoe off n on, don’t see any signs on ground. I think dealer said bucket lift capacity was around 1200? I jus don’t feel like it could lift that much??? Like it’s little under powered..? Makes me think I should have went for the nex size up… but it’s good little tractor
Thanks for the comment. 1380# lift capacity. You could always add tire ballast or a carry-all on the back for extra stability. I used my tractor to move a half ton hot water radiator the other day. No problems. That was with no ballast or weight of any kind on the back. Although, I sometimes wish I would have gotten a bigger tractor too but so far so good. Thanks for watching!!
@@thesowerspatch8918 tires filled. I jus feel it when im scooping load of dirt feels like it don’t have to power to pic it up? Kinda have to bak out little bit. But I do like “little red” im happy wit my purchase. Keep maken the Videos bud I’ll keep liking them
The hydrostat oils are veeeeeeery slow mowing until they have warmed up at the aloted time, also use some Diesel Service(White bottle), Howes or Top Secret Diesel treatment. Works wonders for anti jelling.
Not that I have ever done this 15-20 times, always check the bar below the front of seat. Rear hydraulics. It will make it bog down. Okay I hit it almost every time I get on it.
I ran it yesterday when it was 13 degrees 🥶 This time I let it warm up for 30 min. It ran flawlessly. I put the anti gelling additive in before it started to get cold. I'm not gonna lie, a cab would be way better. Unfortunately, I don't think the T25's come with cabs. Thanks for watching and for the comment. More to come...
Cold hydraulics are an issue with all tractors that have them. My PTO is hydro and it hates the cold. The loader is better, but complains a lot. A rear blade works well depending on the type and depth of snow. I have an old 8n, and anything deeper than 6" it is frustrating, so I set the loader about 2" off the deck and push snow, then come back with the back blade.
Nice! Those 8n's are cool lookin tractors! I considered getting a snow pusher but I really don't think it's necessary. Just the loader did a great job for me this year. Thanks for the comment brother!
Thank you! Great question! I'm actually planning on making a vid about that exact thing now that I've had some time to play around with it. Keep an eye out for it... thanks again!
Yes, still have it. Runs great. I use the anti-gel stuff but it's probably not necessary since I put heat in my garage. Just have to make sure it runs long enough when it's cold out before use. I planned on doing more vids this past summer but my back issues and workers comp nightmare dictated my summer😤 Thanks for watching! I hope to get back on track soon. God bless

You said 20 degrees. Diesel gels at around 20ﾟ, most diesel engines resurculate their fuel to warm it up. Thats why you want to let them warm up for a while. That being said I don't know if your does T25 does. But I would bet it does. I do like watching your channel good job.
Thank you for the info and for watching! Greatly appreciated!! I should have put that fuel treatment in back in October to make sure it's throughout the system.
Thanks for the comment! Here in PA, we don't have a 2 and 1 option for diesel. When it gets cold, the supplier adds a winter additive. Plus I added my own treatment as well. Not to mention my garage is heated now which is a total game changer. Haven't had a problem since. I appreciate the advice!

Thanks so much! I know what you mean. When I was scooping 2b stone, I had to roll the bucket back while going in for it to lift. Merry Christmas!

Thanks man! I learned the hard way. Hahaha it's running great.
It is normal, but adjust the throttle cable from the foot pedal. I tweaked mine just a bit. Much more responsive. Cold affects it.
Thanks bud. I'll keep that in mind. Haven't had any problems since I put heat in the garage. Even on those 10° days🥶
I leave my parking brake on all the time, accidentally. Its very easy to do and it'll slow the tractor down a bit but you'll still be able to move.
Haha, I did that once. Thought something was wrong with tractor. Oops!
@@thesowerspatch8918 me too! Haha. I wish there was a light to let you know the embrace is engaged. Or I just need to develop better habits.
Also use a winter diesel anti jelling additive.
Not that I have ever done this 15-20 times, always check the bar below the front of seat. Rear hydraulics. It will make it bog down. Okay I hit it almost every time I get on it.
I'd say possibly fuel gelling from the cold or possibly the hyd pressure relief if it was while U were pushing a load I have a t265 in Australia

@@exploringtheoutdoors9476 wow, that's some serious tractor. i would go with the biggest you can afford. U won't regret it.
Get a set of edge tamers, then you can skid your loader across your grass and stone driveway
Are you selling those steps?
Actually, yes. She wants what they charged. Nothing more nothing less. $850 Let me know if you're still interested.

Wen cold weather starts you chang over from number 2 desal to number 1 so your tractor will run number 2 will jell up on you.
