Attachments/Mods to my JD 1025r

Eddie's Adventures I was just gonna do a video of all the attachments I bought for my 20 21 1025r and the little small modifications I've made to it so I with the tractor I got the the four foot box blade it's the the light duty one I didn't know the difference when I got it um I think it's the BB 2048 l um but it's pretty light I think it's 275 pounds so what I did is I added eight um 42 pound weights to it and I can sometimes I don't need them sometimes if it's softer ground I'll take them off but uh that usually makes it dig in a lot better and also it is for better ballast weight when I don't have the backhoe on because I didn't get the backhoe with the tractor I added that just a couple or about a week ago really but I got the loader and the Box plate that's all I got with the tractor and then the next thing I got was the landscape rake it's a six or uh yeah six footer it's pretty wide I'll probably end up cutting it down it's not that it can't pull it it pulls it fine it's just it's so much wider than the tractor that you have to really be careful when you're turning um so it doesn't swing out and hit stuff I might just leave it but I was thinking about cutting it down to a five footer I think that would be better the next thing I got was the tiller it's a county line four foot tiller um it works I don't know uh it's not the most popular brand everybody seems to go with the King cutter or the frontier but anyway it works great um I use it to just break up the dirt for when I'm grading and we've also got a little small garden that we've added we just planted some cucumbers in but I'll use it some more on that but it's really nice for breaking up ground to just break it up so you can move it around easier I use it for that mostly and then the next thing I got was this uh the Titan uh 36 inch forks and I wanted the big rack on it and they're kind of heavy I think it's 280 pounds for the for the forks themselves plus the frame so it's pretty heavy I would probably go a little lighter Duty um I do like having the rack on here but it doesn't need to be this heavy built I think this one can do 4 000 pounds which there's no way in hell the 1025r will do anything near that so you could get a lighter Duty one but I still would recommend getting the rack uh the next thing I got was this this stupid thing I've I've never used this thing I thought I would use it I tried to use it once just so I could say I used it but it might come in handy one day but it's just the the man basket or whatever you call it just goes on the forks the sides fold up um and you can get in it but the 1025r only goes like six foot in the air or something like that so I'm six foot tall so I can go up to something 12 foot high so but I'd still be reaching at 12 foot so I don't know I don't know how useful it is on this small of a tractor um then the next thing I got was this Precision manufacturing out of grapple I love it it just obviously it stays on the tractor all the time but uh I highly recommend it I've never had a standalone grapple but I honestly can't see it being much better than this and it's nice just always having it there instead of having to you know try because I can with with the tooth bar I've got a video where with the tooth bar I can just run into small trees either at the bottom or if I can't break them at the bottom I'll go a little bit higher just you know like a foot up or something and then I can usually push them over or or kind of drive back and forth and kind of saw a little bit and then it'll then it'll push them over and then I never I can I can knock small trees down and take them to the brush pile without ever getting off the tractor so I love this thing um I know a lot of people don't like them but and like I said I've never had the real grapple so it might be a world you know might be so much better with a real crapper I don't know I just can't see it being because this was being worth twice the price so anyway I highly recommend that and I also added this Summit Hydraulics uh three spool kit so it's got two rear and then this one just runs to the front for the grapple but um it's not the best instructions so you'll kind of have to just figure it out and I've changed mine up a little bit and what they want you to do is tie into the power beyond and then you would disconnect it to hook the backhoe and blah blah I've changed the way these hoses are hooked up so the the tank from the from this manifold to the tank on the tractor that's a permanent line and then I've got a quick connect on the power from coming from the pump to here there's a quick connect so when I don't have the backhoe on I just connect those two and then this is you know getting fluid and then if I do have the backhoe on I tie the backhoe into the tractor and then out of the backhoe into the manifold so anyway they're always in series they're all so that way the grapple always works um because the bucket always stays on unless I have the forks on so I always want the grapple to work so it'll work whether the back goes on or not so I just I put the quick connect in between here and the tractor um instead of both sides on the tractor anyway you understand what I'm saying and then here's the here's the switch for my top link uh when I when I've got the backhoe off this is my top link I got that set to retract and extend I've ordered a hydraulic side link and that's going to be here so that'll go left and the right oh and then here's this is for the grapple so I've got this set for um extend extending the cylinder which you know bites down and then that one to release and then I also got this 4x4 lever I kind of wish all of it you know obviously it just ties on here and brings it up it's way better like I love the placement for my hand but I wish I had gotten the style I think there's another guy who makes them on eBay um who you instead of tying on to your stock leather lever you take that lever out and it just comes up here the only bad part that I've noticed since getting the backhoe is I flip this seat up so much so I can use the backhoe and when you flip it up it puts it in four-wheel drive so if you don't want it on every time you back on the tractor you gotta put it back in two-wheel drive and you got to remember to do it and I usually don't remember to do it until I fill the until I feel the tires binding and I'm like oh yeah put it back into a drive but anyway it's not that big a deal and then I also added from this gal on Facebook I'll try to find the link or some way to put up a little ad for him but this little button here instead of having to push the key is because it's in a it's in a really shitty spot you'd have to you got to like stick your hand under here to do it it's still just not a good spot anyway but it's way easier to do with your finger you hit that and then you can open the hood without having to stick your key in that little hole which is really stupid design this chainsaw mount it doesn't have to be kicked out like that the reason I have it kicked out like that because before I mounted this over here had the tail light right here and the tail light was in the way so I could straighten it back out but actually I kind of like that because this thing is cheap Ryobi kind of I think the barrel well if you fill it up it kind of leaks out of somewhere and it drips so you can see it right there anyway if I was further over it would just drip more on the toolbox so I'll probably just leave it like that oh I got these little I just got these off Amazon too um obviously you can't use the bottom one with the chainsaw on but and obviously you can't use it when you got the backhoe on because your head will be hitting the handles but that's where you can stick some shovels or whatever some long Tools in there that comes pretty handy oh here's my hydraulic top link and I added all these fittings to uh get it out of the way of the quick hitch [Music] then I got the speaker quick hitch mainly because it doesn't require the bushings at the bottom well it's funny though is you still got to get the bushing well you don't have to you can you can just run a regular category one uh top link pin but it kind of Wiggles in there and I didn't like that so I just get the little the category one to two and a two to one so you have to use two bushings to get this up to a category three but then it fits in there nice and snug and I probably wouldn't do that if I didn't have a hydraulic top link because you got to get the angle just right but it's no big deal I just back up to it and then I play with the switch until it just Falls right in now if you if you didn't have that and you had to adjust the top link every time to get it I would just leave it and just let it bang around in there a little bit but that's another nice thing about a hydraulic Top Lane and also got this Titan um trailer mover I guess you'd call it and you can also put the weights but I've only got um eight 42 Pounders so 336 pounds so it's better than nothing but that's really not enough ballast weight to do anything so I really just used I stick this on when I'm moving a trailer that's about all I use this for also got one of these um vented all these little spring-loaded uh check valve that will let the pressure out and I read online that these blowout seals a lot and it seems to be true I've seen quite a few people on the Facebook page talking about their front axle seals leak inside I went ahead and got that just in case but that's just a little I think it's like 40 or 50 bucks off eBay then I got these tie downs from um oh I'm pretty sure these are Ken's bolt-on hooks I think I have to look but that's pretty sure that's where I got these from um but I got them for the front I kind of wish I had gotten the the ones that mount here it seems like it'd be easier to tie down on my trailer and I built this rack um these are two by sixes and then the top shelf is a two by four these are two by sixes and all I did was I think it's uh it's 12 foot long and six foot tall and I just sandwiched the two uh two by sixes together so this this board is being supported by the vertical two by six and then same thing up here but I put I just did a two by four back here I ran out of two by sixes and I don't have to go buy more just for this top shelf there's nothing real heavy up there in the um once I realized the tractor couldn't lift that high anyway with the forks or with the bucket um I knew I couldn't put anything heavy up there anyway so it wasn't a big deal this spot was where my bucket went but the bucket does not fit when you put the add a grapple on um I think even if I took the because you can take this part off you can take all but the all but this off and you could take this off you took the bolts out but you can take all this off with pins but even if you take that off it's still too tall right here to go in into that cubby which is fine I just put my other stuff there and pretty much I'm going to either have this on here or I might have the forks so when I have the forks on here I just have to set this on the ground somewhere um but whatever it's not that big a deal I've ordered the be expanded backhoe dolly so when that comes in I'll have to figure out where to put that thing I'm thinking I'll clean this corner out over here and probably just shove it over there if you have any questions let me know if you want a more detailed video on some certain thing I did let me know and I'll try to make one that's it
