Yanmar making noise suddenly. Probably nothing but of course..
You need to sell one to @tractortimewithtim so he can see how well they work.
@@doolittlegeorge just got my Yanmar YT235
I loved the young lad walking with his rifle.
I thought he had a bow and fishing arrow!
Summer break fun
Gotta get him one of those!
At one point it looked like either a .22lr or bb gun. But then at another point/view it looked like a bow with fish arrow. Maybe he had both, had one at one point then later switched to the other. I don't know! 😆 😆 Lookef like he was having some fun!
I have to admit, I wasn’t listening to you while the young man was in the background with his rifle 👍 Those were the good ol’ day’s
He loves it out there
I have the Brush Crusher with the universal skid steer mount on my Kioti SE3510. Works great and has really saved my back! Keep finding more uses for it.
Great video Courtney! You are always fair minded and remember that some folks have to think about cost. The B C fills that niche very well! Love mine!
I like the voice-over it give an opportunity to share more facts about the equipment and how to properly use them.
this is the BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!! I love mine and have lifted more then you could ever imagine. Strong recommend it!
I have had my Brush Crusher 4215 for over a year now. It took me a few times using it to get use to it. This thing works great, just like he is saying you only need to grip just hard enough to hold the brush in the jaws. It get's a thumbs up from me.
I bought mine from Good works tractors last year, and it's a amazing piece of equipment! Also picked up a mini stump wrecker on that trip to the old shop! Thank you guys!
I appreciate that Aaron!
I bought a BC-4215 from GWT a few years ago. I like it, and love the fact that I didn't have to spend extra to run front hydraulics, but as Courtney said, it has its limitations. Not being able to drop a load into taller piles (or trailers) is a big one, but I've also had issues with small-to-medium-sized brush/trees getting tangled around the tines, and then not being able to extricate them because there's no real force (except gravity) to pull the jaws apart. When I make my second million (ha-ha!), I'm GOING to add front hydraulics (or divert my rears) and get a hydraulic grapple, but until then my BC does just fine.
I have a 3038, nothing but problems with the 3rd function. First time I’ve heard of this grapple, great video!
I have a BC4215 and use it ALL the time. It has as you described some limitations however a little thought and planning those are overcome easily. You are so correct on the negative reviews which are unjustly being pushed as gospel. I like the fact it can be switched between my 3032 and my 4044 each tractor uses this tool differently. 3032 = brush and wood chunks and even if you rake up piles of hay in the hay barn I can grab most of it with the BC4215, might be a shovel full after the first grab. 4044 loads logs on to the processor and some of those logs are HEAVY, 3 years later just the paint is a little rough as it should be. Thank you for giving it a fair shake!
I adjusted the bottom of mine so it opens as wide as it can and my neighbor with a skid steer and a normal grapple is amazed at what I can do with what I have, he tried talking me out of buying it and now he is impressed with it
I just helped our son haul five loads of brush in a 18 foot dump trailer, correct I could not lift it over the side but we just left the ramps on the trailer and I drove up into the trailer and was able to put way more into the trailer because I could compact it better than just dropping it over the edge
Good video. Shows what the.Brush Crusher can do. I always wondered how it would work.
Thanks , nice work!
Good campfire material!!
Very nice design. I was walking my latest foster (black and tan coonhound) around my pond when the notice popped up. Great way to start a Saturday before it gets too hot. I would set it up to clamp with mild pressure on 6 inch logs a foot off the ground. That seems like the most common real world usage.
Morning Noah, yeah that would be a good setup. Enjoy your weekend!
Good review....we'll done
I have one I got from you 2 years ago. Works pretty well within it's limitations.
Thanks for chiming in Eric!
I am with Eric. Love mine and I work it to it's limits and those of my 1025R
Just ordered 2” wheel spacers from Bora mentioning GWT. I’m interested in a hydraulic top link for my B2650 though I’m considering upgrading to a L3902. Like the brush grapple but I’d like to see a bit more reinforcement across the lower fingers. Thinking about a landscape rake with a wheel kit.
I bought 4 of the Bora 4 inch wheel spacers for my 3032EJD and love them,what a difference they made.
Any regrets on buy the E series?
@@ChrisCraftWow no it’s a good tractor for around the house. It’s not made for big farming or for running a brush hog too do fields once a year. But it’s a good little tractor and much more stable with the Bora Wheel Spacers especially with the highlift
Got one, love it on the 2025!
Sent a friend of mine to GoodWorks to look at these... he bought it and has been very happy with it ever since.
I appreciate it Randal!
Nice! BTW/ Beautiful property, congratulations
Good review
Thanks for posting this video
Thanks for swinging by, yee haw :)
Love this part, just haven’t gotten one. Lol.
I have a John Deere 3038E, No hydraulics, a feature that I now would like to have, But when I purchased the 3038E it was about cost. I have it seem like an original BC-4200 Grapple with no middle section with is a new offer. I really have worked out the BC-4200 on my tractor as it was the best solution for the price range. I have no problems dumping the load over an embankment, But I have picked up cement culverts, which weight allot, and stacked them. Try that with your hydraulic or electric grapple. LOL, Your version of the grapple in the video looks like some improvements have been made. The only irritation on my version are the grease (zerk) fitting locations. Mine seem to be off center and makes it hard to grease. Still able to do it, but just seems off to me.
Great video budd
I bought mine with my kubota this spring. Still waiting on the 3rd function valve.
Is this something available for a pin on loader set up or is it just for the JD quick attach system? I have a old L245DT Kubota I could use a grapple option for.
Interesting. Hope you get the hydraulic third arm set up to offer to purchase.
I am interested in getting a mechanical grabber, but one of my mane conserns is I need to load my trailer and take my bruch to the dump. How high can I lift that up to load my trailer?
Nice attachment
Thanks for stopping by Jeff!
Can you demonstrate the grapples effectiveness with brush?
that's my favorite call / when customer says just drop the trees and leave the clean up to me
Haha I bet
How high can you go on the grapple to actually dump items?
Do you see any issues with this grapple running on a 3 series tractor?
Actually, i have mine set up so the bottom tine is more verticle when closed so i can drop items in to a dump trailer.
Your ad for Rim Guard says "pound for pound rim guard is the heaviest..." pound for pound they are all the same weight. Now I am sure Rim Guard is a great product, they just need to proofread their ad.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Pound for pound? Kilo for kilo, the heaviest!
Haha gotta keep you on your toes!
What the cost on the grapple 421
I was going to purchase one of these for my 1025R but then I started reading comments from other UA-camrs that have stated to stay away from it because it puts too much pressure on the pin quick release latches and ends up ripping them out of the tractor and costing over $1000 to have both sides fixed and also bending the hydraulic cylinders there’s been people that have had to have this damage replaced multiple times from using this grapple and they claim that it wasn’t any work being done with it that was out of the scope of what it supposed to be used for so I’m afraid to buy one now
I saw the same things and ended up going with a third function and grapple. I am very happy with it and found it money very well spent.
Fish shootin is what that kid is up to. Nice life!
Target practice!
I've been able to get a ton of work done with mine moving logs and brush. However, I've been a little disappointed with it because the arms or forks (not sure what to call them) bend too easily. I have one bent about 45 degrees to the side on the bottom and both outers on the top are bent towards the middle. It still functions ok, but it's disappointing it isn't stronger.
Hi Mark, sounds like that may be a warranty issue. Happy to help. Shoot me an email with pictures and as serial number along with description of the issue/how it happened, etc. Will see what we can do for you!
@@GoodWorksTractors it might be. You don't have to spend any effort on it though. I bought it direct from Westendorf. I suppose I should try contacting them. I don't think I was using it excessively. In fact, both of the top arms bent the very first time I used it.
I've been more than happy with everything I've purchased through Good Works Tractors! Excellent company you have.
Oh, gotcha. Yeah, something goofy happened it sounds like. They have a pretty solid customer service team. Best of luck and I appreciate the kind words!
Sure but also costs about as much as a hydraulic grapple and a diverter or summit kit
Really? When I bought mine (from GWT a few years ago) it was about the same price as a decent grapple, but not also a diverter or summit kit. (And especially not adding the cost of installation, if one isn't confident in doing it himself!) Can you cite an example of a grapple and kit that's roughly the same cost as a BC-4215?
Great title...it's not often you see "200 IQ Genius" and "don't need no" in the same sentence. LOL. Thanks for the review.
Darn right
Thoughts on how a 1025R would handle a job like this?
I think it would tackle it just fine. I’ve made other videos of the 1025r and Brush Crusher and there’s others on UA-cam as well.
@@GoodWorksTractors awesome! Thanks!
@@Smalltownflyer very welcome
I don’t know about you but in my opinion I think it would be better if the upper portion of the grapple was stationary and the bottom had hydraulic control. That way you wouldn’t have to raise the boom as high and have better lifting capabilities.
What about the guys saying the brushcrusher is damaging their john deere quick hitch?
I did address that in the video
Are all 4 wheels spaced?
Just the rears
I do a lot of brush and log removal on my hilly property (both summer and winter).
I have all 4 wheels spaced with 2.5" F and 3" R based on recommendations from GWT.
It made a huge difference in stability of my 2025.
I am sure it has saved me from tipping my tractor on more than one occasion.
"...just move it and I'll get to it later...." We all know that goes....
😜
With the luck you seem to have, whomever is driving your side-by-side is going to put it in your pond as fast as they were driving it (waiting for that video).. Looks like a big bon fire is coming up too.
Hi
Hey
As a Firearm Dealer it caught my eye and I noticed the young boy with the Air Gun at the first of the video by the pond. Don't let him shoot pellets or BB's into water as a LOT of times when BB's or pellets hit the water they will ricochet right straight back at the shooter. I had a customer whose boy was shooting frogs around their pond and the BB came right back and through his eye and he now has a glass eye. I know it's fun shooting your air gun yourself when young but just be careful with it. I love the grapple and want to get one myself!!
What was the boy hunting for?
Oh, he likes to plink at whatever. Frogs, dragonflies, gophers, you name it. He’s itching for squirrel and rabbit season.
Shoot small Miss small LOL
Please tell him if he shoots it, he has to eat it. Thx. Love your channel.@@GoodWorksTractors
I would have cut that up for fire wood .
I’ve been thinking about it recently
Pound for pound is nonsensical… a pound of feathers would weigh exactly as much as a pound of Rim Guard! Now gallon for gallon would actually make a comparison.
Hey, our editing department is pretty small over here so cut us some slack! 😂
@@GoodWorksTractors no worries! Sorry, I have to live as a retired engineer… can’t help it!
@@halsnyder296 haha, see we all have our burdens 😜 have a good one Hal!
With the fixed bottom jaw it doesn't seem to be the utilitarian piece of equipment that some people would want. Yes it worked and did the job for you but someone looking for one versatile piece of equipment may opt for something else.
Correct, it has limitations. It’s a simple design not requiring extra hydraulic circuits to be installed on the tractor. Many folks don’t want to spend that money on the hydraulics or go through the hassle.
The fixed jaw hasn't been an issue for me. If you adjust it further down it dumps much easier and has a wider opening. But yes, if you can afford it, full function grapples are a better choice.
I did have to remove the serrations on the upper teeth. They wouldn't let brush fall out. After that, no issues.
If the brush is not falling out you leave it curled set it on the ground so the ground is catching the brush and then uncurl or set it on the pile you’re putting the brush on and uncurl, it I’ve never had to get off of my tractor to get the brush out of mine
@@kurt3543 ive only had the problem with a large bunch of small branches but not since my modification. Big stuff comes right out.
I’d sell mine cheap. Not satisfied at all. My dad told me if it sounds to good to be true……..
If you are going to burn it sometime you shouldn’t have put it under that power line.
Well I didn’t plan to burn it there haha, I don’t think I’ll burn at all. Would make some good critter cover where it’s at.
Not a grapple....
