Tim you sure have a lot of nice things. You have been blessed. Love to watch your videos. You’re a Great American Sir.
Reminds me of my dad, "Don't do as I do, do as I say." Great informative video.
My dad's version was almost verbatim. "Do as I say, not as I do." He always said that he was a role model, a bad one. Thank God for him and his heavy hand.
Mine always said "Work smarter, not harder." I'm pretty sure a grapple, or a tractor for that matter, fits that bill perfectly!
Reminds me of my old dad too. The things he'd say...
Igor:
You know, I'll never forget my old dad. When these things would happen to him... the things he'd say to me.
Froderick:
What did he say?
Igor:
"What the **** are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"
Nice grapple! The Big Mouth can hold sure hold a lot and the clamps seem to have strong gripping power.
Good Sunday afternoon , God bless you & thank you for sharing . Have a wonderful & blessed day
Awesome grapple and great video! Thanks Tim and Christy!
Those dual action grapples are great. We run a mds grapple bucket our skidsteer for cleaning up stones and brush from our fields in the spring . You just about have a implement for every task imagined. Great video keep up the good work !
Thanks for the video. It shows all the work in upkeeping a property and also how equipment can help make it easier.
Wow! That looks like a prehistoric fish skeleton of some kind! Good catch Tim! Better call the Smithsonian! 😀😃🙂🙃😊
Good morning Tim & Christy! Great video as always!! I don’t exactly have a need for a grapple but that Precision Mini 322 is a serious want for me 😁. I may have to create a use for it 😂. Have a great rest of your weekend!
This is the 327!
Thanks for watching!
Love your interactions with each other. I was using my grapple doing the same thing the last few days. So much easier than dragging brush by hand.
That is nice! As a young man I had to drag the tree to the fire!
As always Tim and Christy I enjoyed your videos and morning coffee.
I don't have a grapple. I do have the factory third function on my 1025R though. So I purchased a hydraulic cylinder for a top link, pieced together lines and fittings to run up to the third function fittings, and just like that, no more reaching back to adjust the top link. Now I just push a button and life is good. No matter how you use them, extra functions make your life easier. My OCD wished the grapple arms would move together better. Nice piece of equipment though 👍
Let’s get started , nice setup thanks Tim
" Grease" is The word, is the word, is the word.......Lube shuttle sure Rocks, I would NOT be without it, And the Lock and Lube.
I like the looks of that grapple! I like to take those ashes and place them in my garden! They really make it grow.
Nice setup you have. Y'all stay safe.
I ran hoses to the front for 3rd function. I drilled my loader, used tap and die set to thread holes and used bolts and clamps. Really nice finish.
You're right, Physics is useful! Great job with the new 3rd function on the larger Deere!
lol Christy noticed that chain saw just as I was thinking boy I sure would run over that! lol Great video awesome item to have on the front I just welded a thumb onto the backho and am blown away from how effective it is that thing is like 10x over it...
Good Job Tim and Christy!
I like that grapple. It is satisfying to use one, and it’s sooo much easier. Nice job. Christy: “I thought you were smarter than that” Tim: “That was an invalid assumption”. 😂 Too funny! (I’ll have to remember that one) Blessings.
Hey Tim, from a farmers perspective the practicality of the 3046R is self evident. However; I'd like to see how it handles large round or square bales, if it can. So, future video idea: let's see the 3046R doing some large round/square bale work loading and unloading a trailer. Obviously, a 5 series would be better but, my property is too small for a 5 series.
I have a 4052r and it can lift rounds but it is very uncomfortable
Never too much tractor🤣. When in doubt, buy more land😌. Basically what I want to do haha. I know that’s not practical for most, I just love lots of land haha
@@jasonvankooten3049 same here with 3043D and it depends on the size/weight of the bale of course. It really doesn’t like the bigger, tightly packed 4x5 round bales.
I haul round bales with a 3025E. I don't lift them high, but I can transport them to a flatbed
When I first started buying tractors I bought too small, starting with a little 25s from New Holland, had it for under a year and jumped up to the correct size with 48hp. Now another year later I run a TYM 1104 and don't even think twice about lifting anything.
My point is go bigger when in doubt and keep the operation safe.
That grapple is nice. I was loading brush with my 2032r with my pallet forks and had it flare up and it made permanent marks in the hood. I was not happy!
My Granite Grapple is my favorite toy...er, I mean attachment. 😁 It's amazing the uses you find for a grapple if you have one.
Yes, now I know exactly which grapple to get for my 46r.
These compact tractor grapples are outstanding for sure! But real recently I bought a Cat 236d wheeled skid steer and got a really good deal on a 72” Super HD Root Rake/Demolition (TMG brand -Probably chineesium, but it weights 1100#’s …) grapple and the thing is a absolute crushing grappling monster! It breaks as much as it grabs if you let it🙈👍🏻 It’s nowhere close a comparison to the Tar River grapple I got for
My JD3320, which I still do enjoy for these lighter less destructive to the ground/grass tasks.
Good job Tim, and your wife
That’s a very nice grapple! Thanks for another great video! Go Heels! See y’all on the next one…
My JD 3rd function kit was all rubber hoses except for the loader boom those were steel. The kit did come with a replacement 6 hole bracket which was nice.
Smoke follows beauty
“That was an invalid assumption”, that was one of the most clever retorts… 😂
These Precision Manufacturing grapples are simply awesome. Wish I had done a little more research and purchased double jaw mini from PM, rather than my Artillian double lid.
Nothing like using baling wire to holding equipment together,,, it works well in a pinch..... 👍👍👍✌👋👋👋👋🙏
Loving the 3046 content. I have 7 acres of field and 63 acres of woods and debating between the 3r and 4r series. Needs something big enough for food plots and a big garden but small enough to fit down trails. Would love to see more videos with the Hardee brush cutter as well!
You won't regret a 4R for that size property
The benefit of the 3R is turning radius.
Do like the grapple for brush, I do think depending on how big brush is I do like the the 3046R pulling a chipper dump combo better then dumping at the end
I'm trying to get JD 3rd function kit for my 2038r. I like the looks of precision grapple.
Gotta get a smart country girl like Christy or none at all! I hope I get a smart country gal like Christy someday! GO CHRISTY!!
Good vid. Love this channel.
Thanks for watching, Shad!
Another great episode of "Tearing up the Tractor with Tim" lol, these things happen when you spend enough time in the seat, it just happens.
I seriously hope that is not the reputation I get. I did not need to mention this issue. I only did so to potentially help someone else. Perhaps I should stop showing my mistakes?
@@TractorTimewithTim I don't look at it that way. Your mistakes are not my focus: how to get a lot out of a little tractor is my focus. I love these grapples you show us!
Thanks Scott!
As I said it happens to all of us. Gotta laugh about it to lessen the sting of the repair cost.
@@TractorTimewithTim No keep showing the mistakes. It helps me on our Tractors. Believe me. I come up with enough of them myself so it's good to eliminate a few. LOL
You should start a series of shorts called "Teachable Moments"
Dandy video. Tires might of been getting hot there at some points. But I’m sure that type of tire can handle some heat.
I am going to expand on what J.C. Wren had to say about shoving stuff into a burn pit. About 20 years ago I worked at a produce packing plant. We had a three sided concrete block burn structure at the edge of the large parking lot. I was the assistant plant manager and production tech. We worked one Saturday morning and everyone had left but me and the back end guy, a tall, skinny black man. He had been cleaning up and putting busted up pallets into the fire pit with our new John Deere skid steer loader.
I was working on a packing machine inside when he rushed in and was shouting, "Mr. Dan, Mr. Dan, the Bobcat is stuck in the fire pit, it's gonna burn up!" To most people all skid steers are Bobcats. He told me to get the dump-truck while he got a chain. I ran out the back door where the dump truck was and backed it over to the pit. He had already hooked the chain to the skid steer and when I got close enough he wrapped it around the frame of the truck and I started pulling. We were just in time, the front tires of the skid steer were already smoking. I dragged it over to the where he was waiting with the wash down hose and he cooled everything off.
What had happened was he rammed the slid steer into the pile to push unburned wood to the back and he was thrown up out of the seat. The seat safety switch turned off the engine. The front of the skid steer was pitched down and with his long legs and skinny butt he couldn't get enough weight on the seat to reset the switch. Another minute and that skid steer would have been toast.
Just the two of us there, we never told anyone. I was there for ten years, we had a lot of fun times. Fun with pallets, fun with fire, lots of pallets, lots of fire. But those are stories for another time.
It is called a "Bulkhead" fitting. Be cautious about using a JIC end as an o-ring fitting. The nose can sometime fit fully in the bottom of an SAE female.
Have you shown more detail of the rear ballast you were using? I was trying to understand why the weights were all so high.
I was reading up on burn pits the other day and one of the things I came across was people repeatedly saying not to use equipment to push material into the burn pile. Of course, there's the other camp that says if you don't use your tractor, you'll never get hurt on it. And I won't say I haven't pushed brush into a burn pile with my tractor. But yeah, I'm a little paranoid about cooking hydraulic lines :) BTW, when you said she smelled like smoke, you could have followed up with "Because you're smokin' hot!" and gotten some extra brownie points :)
Nothing like a good burn to kick off the arsonist in us all.🤠
Man, I love burning a brush pile!
Great video!
Really happy to see Johnny 3 getting some love in the new upgraded hydraulics.
Looks nice 👍.
Not really a fan of that clamshell style grapple, I found myself talking at my screen, while watching it drop stuff over and over. 😝 lol
I have owned and still have multiple grapples. Whenever I was using my clamshell style I always found myself talking to it however in a much more colorful language. 😆 lol.
Of your latest grapple videos, The iron fist Artilian is my favorite design.
Ha! I get it. My favorite part of the clamshell is the ‘root rake’ aspect. Skimming along picking up and digging up small brush and roots.
Any chance or thought of working with GOODYEAR or Yokohama Ag tire to get some hybrid radial turfs like Yokohama’s galaxy or Goodyears R14Ts for Johnny ?
Been looking for a hybrid radial turf for my 3046R.
Outside the expense of the tractor itself, there is no implement that is worth every penny spent on it as a grapple. A grapple opens up so many projects that one can do.
Ever since I started watching your videos I always catch myself saying greazing instead of greasing
Excellent!!
I commented in one of your earlier videos I was trading my 33R for a 2025R because of health issues. It pretty much a done deal if JD can find a 2025R. But I've been thinking about getting a Frontier MG20F mechanical grapple for my new tractor. I don't do a lot of grapple work but I think it would come in handy for storm cleanup or cleaning up trees I've dropped once in a while. Another great video guy's.
Strongly encourage you to get a hydraulic grapple.
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks Tim but with my health issues it's not in the budget right now but maybe some day.
@@ranger6x660the mechanical grapples have issues. Best to avoid.
You need to have that throttle turned up your hell on a hydraulic pump
Invalid assumption. Definitely going to be using that!
Use your leaf blower to get the fire going better. Be gentle and don't blow too hard. The extra air will turn a smoky barely burning pile into a smokeless inferno.
Hey Tim, I just got an idea for a view over the hood on that 3 series, see what you think. is it possible to mount one of those half round bubble convex mirrors , the kind you usually see on school buses ,somewhere on front, like on the grill guard or even the upper corner of the loader?
Hello tractor time with Tim I just got my new 2022 John Deere 2025r tractor and I like it only had it for 4 days
Congratulations!
what is that tree with the finger like leaves ... we have those in nc, it seems to spread under ground, starts as a soft weed. 20:36 and earlier
Those tubes are SO awesome! I used them when i was working at a construction side, but i cant convince my family at home on the farm to buy them....aaaa i hate those normal style tubes!-.- (you need to prime SO often.-.- (it doesnt even to be a electric one...)
Hey Tim off the top of your head is lube shuttle more expensive than the other grease brand you use? I thought for sure y’all used two different brands. Maybe lock n lube?
That grapple looks almost like it is a cartoon one because of how big it is. I have been looking for an electric grease gun and when you mentioned yours I got excited but almost $500 for one is just too rich for me. I will probably be leaning towards the DeWalt one because that is what power tool I major in so I already have the batteries.
The point of this gun is the unique tube style. Incredible.
Also, much lighter than dewalt and especially Milwaukee. Easier to handle.
Hi Tim, hope you are well, have you ever heard of anyone replacing the 15" front wheels with a slightly larger 16" wheel? Is it harmless or do you think it would cause problems? Appreciate your wisdom, thanks.
One must keep the same ratio front to rear. So look at overall tire circumference, not rim diameter.
I believe those fittings on loader crossmember are called a union
Some people call them “bulkhead fittings”.
Oh ya......try a leaf blower for fires .....it ignites awesomely.....lol
Great demo. I've looked at Precision MFG grapple videos in the past and I do like the look of their grapples. Which Mini 327 are you using with your 3R in this video, The 63" or the 72"?
60
Tim, love your videos and scenes from Southern, IL. I am 78 and have been in Texas since 1958. However, I was born at 433 South 20th St. in Mt. Vernon, IL and still consider it my "hometown". I am curious what part of that country you are in. You were working near Wayne City in one of your videos and my Grandfather (on my Dad's side) and his family are buried in the Thompson cemetery in Wayne City. On my Mother's side are the Modert's a well known medical family there in Mt. Vernon. When I was a kid my Grandpa McCoy had a cabin on a 26 acre plot with a 7 acre lake down by Pinkneyville. We had family in Westfrankfurt, Woodlawn all around that area. I guess it will always be home to me. My wife and I have 182 acre tree farm here in Texas and altough I am a retired financial advisor and insurance agent, I love piddling around on the farm. My favorite activities these days. keep the good videos coming.
This one is at my house in Lebanon, IN. Extended family still lives near West Salem, IL.
The farm videos are sometimes in Wayne county, near Mt. Erie.
We will have a video this week from Flora (Oil Belt Christiian Service Camp)
Those fittings are (broadly) called bulkhead fittings.
Hey Tim, I’m thinking about getting a 3046R with a cab but disappointed that my JD dealer couldn’t find a hydraulic thumb for the 375A backhoe . Any suggestions.. thank you 😊
Tim I've noticed on the past few videos there's a mid PTO and autoconnect setup on the 3r. But I've never seen a deck on the channel or did I miss it? Also does the 3r autoconnect pin up higher like the 2r does
Have been too excited about the 12’ woods turf batwing to show the 3R with deck. Sorry.
Bulkhead fitting
Not a criticism........why not the bamalight brush mower? *Back over the pile* would it not handle that? Do you guys have a 3 point chipper? Do you have a recommendation? Thanks as always for the content and of course to also spread the good word.
God bless you and yours
Bulkhead fittings 👍
I am going to purchase a 322 or 327. I have a new John Deere 3046R with 320R loader. This tractor/loader is right on the edge of the HP range for either grapple and was curious which one you think is better suited for the 3046R? I hate to give up the 200lbs of extra lift to go to bigger size, but maybe extra width or hydraulics make it worth it? It is for private use, just moving trees, brush and cleaning fence lines on my properties so it is not used hard commercially.
I love the 327 on the 3046r. I would recommend it. The 320/322 would be a bit too small I think. I have found the 3046r to have enormous strength compared to the 1R/2R.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you Tim, appreciate the info from someone who has both. I am over in Olney, IL near your extended family and know the area well.
Home of the white squirrel. Just through there last weekend. Ate at DQ on Sunday!
You definately have good vendors.
Everything attachments people are some of the most arrogant salesmen I've ever seen. Even though they have things I want, I'll never deal with them.
Bulkhead fitting or connector.
Hey Tim. I noticed that the Valve stem on the tire don't have protecters. have you broken a valve stem off before?
No
My grand dad would have extra bailing wire tied to the fences around his farm when I was younger. Which cat is the best mouser?
Neither of these are very good, unfortunately!
17:10 that rabbit
Been waiting for your review of this grapple before purchasing but you didn't really give any details on your impression of it. Debating between the 60" (63" actual) and the 72". Is the extra weight of the 72" worth it for a 50hp compact tractor with a 1700# FEL lift capacity? Also any concerns with this grapple so far?
I would choose the .60” rather than 72”. Very happy with this grapple. I think you would like it.
He has a lift and a wife that helps? He's doing something right!
Wonderful wife! That is MUCH more important than a lift!
I bought an Artillian grapple after seeing it on your channel. Do you like the Precision grapple better than the Iron Fist Artillian, or do you just like to try out as many as you can?
I like both the precision and Artillian. They have different strengths. Both are incredible in my opinion. By showing both, you, the customer can make a more informed decision.
Congratulations on your iron fist! Are you satisfied with it? I hope so.
15:33 I definitely got a little concerned for that chainsaw while you were talking to camera and the tractor started creeping forward as the discussion/monologue continued. :)
So was Christy. If you look closely at 15:41, you'll see a quick nod to Christy (behind the camera) that I was aware of the saw.
It does not look like you used the bracket, that bolts to the loader frame mount bolts. Why not? I had to cut about 1.5" off mine to not block the factory loader hydraulic connection point.
Whatever bracket I got was useless.
Nothing like a 3series and a grapple wish that that grapple was available when I was buying maybe I can get the finance committee to let me upgrade
Try this on SUPER Johnny... it might be to big.... 👍
🚜🚜🚜🚜😎😎👍
Ok
Thanks for replying Thomas from Australia
Is this the 63 0r72 "
I think 63”
At the 17:10 mark in the video was that a squirrel or a cat?
Rabbit.
I notice most of your reviews on tractors don’t have enclosed cabs. Is that done on purpose. I’m in a cold weather climate 5 months of the year. So cabs are essential.
Welcome to our channel. We typically choose open station tractors for a couple of reasons. 1) easy on/off.
2) easier communication and visibility to our customers and viewers.
Having said that, we don’t have a problem with cabs. We have one on our 5075e.
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks for the reply. In a climate that gets down to. - 20 or more. Comfort is premium
Here, cab without A/C is unacceptable.
Dont do what I did ... hey ... that saves me money!
I suppose so!
That's a z Tim, not a c.
You do not pay that model enough to assist with videos and cut down trees…
Yes. You are right!
then you hear other teachers no Tim it’s especially english teachers. here’s the deal as i say your correct but it depends on where your from. My mother would fight you tooth n nail on grammar. accept i’ve corrupted her. her speech pathologist would show up. when that happens i’ll borrow your iso tunes and ear muffs. i do the red neck lingo. then she does in public i’m like yes score air fist bump 👊🏻 watch all the comedians larry the cable guy bill engval jeff fox worthy enough you’ll speak the lingo
