FYI. A straight extension on a torque wrench doesn't affect the torque value. It's only when you use an offset, swivel or other type adapter that you have to adjust the torque value.
The Torque limiting of the straight extension is a function of the extension's thickness. Torque Test Channel covered this in their video on the torque limiting sticks. Interesting stuff
Straight extensions can indeed affect torque value if subjected to stress levels allowing it to reach its elasticity level which in some cases with higher torque values can be reached . Same principle as to why extensions on an impact gun have a negative impact on output torque, and also the same principle as to how torque bars work when installing lug nuts on wheels.
Torque bars only work with an impact tool. They are designed to twist away at their set torque setting and spring back in the momentary break in force that comes with the hammer of an impact tool. Any extension can twist. The key is of course to use slow, even pressure when tightening with a hand tool. And anyone that can grab an extention and change the torque of an 18" wrench turning a nut/bolt by any meaningful amount should enter a grip strength contest.
Great tips Courtney, especially helpful in the spring. This is a great time of year to be checking your tire pressures as temperatures begin to change. Tip from RG: Blow a burst of air INTO the tire to clear the liquid from the valve stem before placing your tire gauge on the valve stem. This will minimize the amount of liquid that may enter your tire gauge (or on your shop floor 😅). As Courtney mentioned, we also recommend using an "air/liquid", "tractor", or "wet" tire gauge as they are designed to work with any liquid filled tires. Also, remember that Rim Guard is water soluble, so if you do have a spill it's as simple as rinsing it away with water.
I looked it up. Using an extension doesn't change the torque value enough to have to adjust the setting. However, you have to keep the extension straight so as not to change the pivot point. A u-joint can cause a big difference if at an angle, so it should be avoided.
Just a FYI: be consistent in the pressure gauge you are using each time as they sometimes vary between models. I found this out while doing maintenance on my car. Also, check the manual for pressure needs, I used a sharpie to write it on the rim so I don’t forget…
My pressures, wheel, and torque specs are sharpied on the dash in my cab tractors. In the army we stenciled tp# on the fender or frame above every tire and other needed info which is where I stole the idea from
Important note: when checking hydraulic oil make sure the 3-point is down. Also, when checking air pressure with fluid filled tires, put air in with your air compressor first so the fluid won't spit back at you
Besides putting a paint marker line on the lug nuts, I also write the torque settings and lug nut size on the wheel. I've got too many things with wheels to remember which one has what. And the Kubota L4701 has different sized nuts on the front and rear wheels. And just like on a car, lug nuts should be tightened in a star pattern, and with two passes. If some of the nuts are loose, when you back around to the starting nut after the first pass, a nut can be under-tightened. Hence, two passes.
As long as you're supporting the head of the torque wrench, the extension shouldn't change the applied torque in any meaningful way. Extensions will reduce the torque applied by an impact wrench as some of the impact energy is wastes twisting the extension. Once or twice I did see you tighten a nut just past the click so that's something to be careful about. Any time we're using a clicker it's good to have a reminder to back off the torque to zero so the springs inside don't stretch. I like digital torque wrenches now, you can see actual torque applied and they'll have a beeper at the set torque. You can even get an inexpensive digital torque adapter to use with any ratchet.
@@GoodWorksTractors Check @ 13:39. Looks like you went about 1/8 or 1/10 turn past click. Given the leverage you have with an 18" bar, that's probably around 7 to 10lb over your target.
In the military we do a pre-start everyday. Covering all the topics you’ve shown. At the end of the day it’s washed down and fueled. Ready for the next operation.
While you have the sharpie out, write your tire pressure next to the valve stem so you don't have to look it up in the manual every time you check the tire pressure.
just remember what helped ur channel grow.. summit will come and go john deere will be around along time. I get disapointed when u talk about john deere over summit. not saying its better or anything like that but just remember where u come from
Coolant reservoir looks low to me. It's going to be interesting to see if there are any dealers in NC for those Summit tractors in the next couple of years. There are certainly Tractor Supply's in NC, but it looks like they are showing a limited number locations in three states. Looks like the closest dealer to NC is in Kentucky.
@@GoodWorksTractors if coolant is low in overflow it's worth taking cap off (with cool engine) rad as filling that overflow tank doesn't fill the rad. You probably know this but for the general audience.
Another great way that sharpie can REALLY help you out, is writing the date/hours/miles directly on the filters, when maintenance is performed. Takes any guesswork out of it, and removes the need to write it down elsewhere, or try to remember. I've been doing that on all things I've been working on at home for years, and it really helps! Also, the military has taught me those lines on bolt heads or nuts are, appropriately so named, "torque stripe".
I have never greased a fitting without first wiping off the end of it. Any crap and dirt that is on that fitting WILL be added to your grease, causing wear. I have rarely seen someone do this these days. Once upon a time there were full service gas stations that did cars greasing and if you did not do this you would be fired. Especially equipment that is in the dirt a lot.
another good segment. very useful and instructional. the hack with the sharpie is a great idea. quick and easy way to see if you lugs are getting loose. thanks.
Extensions do not change the torque value for static setups as shown in this video. If using an impact wrench it does affect the torque level because the extension twists slightly and the impact is momentary, not long enough for the fastener to seat at the full torque applied. The applied torque when using hand torque wrenches correctly allows the twist in the extension to last long enough to apply the full amount of torque to the fastener. Correctly in this case is a relatively slow application of force so the fastener turns and seats before "clicking" rather than a fast jerking force. Retorquing each fastener is also appropriate to assure each fastener is tight, similar to what is required for a cylinder head. Retorque each fastener until all do not move to assure content tightness.
Regarding extensions when torquing. I just watched a test. Extensions affect fastener torque only when using an impact gun. Tightening with a torque wrench or rachtet is not affected.
When I first got my 1025R, there were a couple of tires that were always going low on pressure. Took it back to the dealer and the mechanic overfilled it. He said they’re supposed to be overfilled from the factory to ensure the tire seals properly. It worked for my issue, perhaps that’s what happened to your tires…just a guess. Love the sharpie idea, thank you Mr. Courtney!
One time while mowing with the 1025r, I noticed it was overheating. I told my dad about it and the first thing he did was check the screen. It was covered in grass clippings.
I worked in the tire repair business quite a while. There are tire guages designed to get fluid in them w/ no damage. Just stick head of guage in clean water & pump the stick to flush it out. Also the tire should not be 100% full of fluid. Valve stem should be at 1200 when tech is filling it & he should stop filling just before level gets up to the stem. Thereafter whenever you check the pressure make sure the stem is at 1200 to minimize fluid in your guage.
As others have said, a straight socket extension will not change the torque reading. Definitely don’t use a higher torque value than recommended. Also, holding the extension isn’t the optimal technique as that can change the torque reading a little due to the friction with you hand. Better to rest your palm under the head of the wrench to hold the extension straight and let the head roll in your palm so that you aren’t impeding its rotation.
Simply to get the valve stem @ 12 o'clock. I would have just pulled forward but if a floor jack was super handy, I would consider it. I doesn't change the reading. His may have been a little overfilled as only air should have come out.
That little tractor is a headache to maintain compared to the Massey GC series. The Massey hood isn't in the way of anything and everything is super easy to get to.
That first oil change was an experience on my Kubota LX2610. Not a lot of room for a filter wrench, and if you're a contortionist that helps😂 thanks for all the great videos
I have an LX2610 as well and mine was pained on from the factory. Wrench would not budge the filter. I had to score the paint and then punch a screwdriver through the filter to get it to break loose. It was the worst oil and filter change that I had ever experienced. At least it is no longer painted on and I didn't over-tighten it, so it should come off much easier next time.
Does 10 hours greasing intervals on the loader mean grease after 10 hours of loader operation? If so this could be 50 hours of tractor operation for many operators.
many good tips here i usually try to grease the main pivot points whenever i get ready to use but tie-rods and such can be over greased blowing out the seals but U_joints get LOTS of pressure . even in the winter check your radiator screen IF you feed hay or even moving dirt with your loader--wish that they had come up with the liquid ballast in the years back i have had several rims rust out from being filled with calcium fluid . i broke the axle tube on my Versatile 876 4x4 (260hp) twice, not a pleasant feeling quite sure loosing a wheel is right up there!!! tips from a lifetime of farming .
Hey Courtney, I’m a software developer by trade. I wanted to let you know I could easily build a script to loop through your web pages and look for that image. Not sure if it will change anything for you, but wanted to make you aware. Love the videos.
Nice tips. In this video, you said (as well as shown in the rules) that the contest was good until the end of March 2023. This is 2024. Was this a recycled video or is it a typo and the contest is indeed valid until the end of 2024?
Good vid... my Lube Suttle worked great until I left it on the tractor, fell off the back bungee cord while the wifey was taking a ride around the field, now it dosen't hold a true vacuum. Let the search begin...lol
Love the grease fitting position and recessed protection. Not sure about air screen. Will soon plug with dandelion seeds. Big screen on hood would give more protection and be easier to clean. Nice tractor!
I have no actual knowledge to back this up, but I had heard if you use impact wrench extensions - those do have 'give' in them that can change the torque. As such I save their use for only impact wrench removal uses.
if using donaldson air filter assembly - most appear to; buy the gauge that tells you dirty your air filter is without having to open it. there is a little cap just on the elbow at the back it fits to.
Great content as always Courtney! Thanks for the reminder on simple, preventative maintenance tips/checks. It'a the Slight Edge principle: easy to do, easy not to do! Make it a great one all!
About the high front tire pressure - you indicated that you had never added air to the tires. Tractors often ship with tires fully or even over-inflated to improve reduce bounce and improve stability. Since Summit has no dealer to set-up the tractor the pressures had probably never been reduced to the correct operating level.
The one thing that I can provide. When using the torque wrench you want to go to the click then do not go back over the nut. The torque value has been achieved when you get to the click. When you go do it over and over you are actually changing the torque values. One time click then done.
oh interesting on 2nd look it has a pitman arm/drag link setup instead of rack and pinion? is that common on compact tractors? FWIW i would never speak poorly about recirculating ball... i liked the steering on my 2004 Suburban a lot better than my 2013 Suburban. big step backwards moving up to a GMT900 IMO.
straight extensions do not affect torque on a torque wrench. crows-feet or dog-bone style torque adaptors can change your torque settings. all dependent on angle of offset and lengths of the wrench and the adaptor.
and the easiest way to account for that offset, is to turn the crow's foot to a 90 degree angle from the handle - then the offset is zero. You would need to calculate only when you get away from that angle - if you're adding to or subtracting from the natural length of the torque wrench
@@Idahoser11 I'm pretty sure you're only supposed to use a crows foot at 90 degrees on a torque wrench without looking it up. Some of them have the torque multiplier per 12" of wrench printed right on them.
7:39 THINK about this. How many people wipe the dipstick after they have checked the level and putting it back, like Courtney did? Why?? There's no reason to have to, but many do.
I have Rim Guard in my wheels and double stacked wheel weights and 8 40Lb suitcase weights on my 1025R, the problem is sometimes the tires don't spin when the rims are spinning, tires are stuck in the ground. Would it be a good idea to put screws in the rims into the tire beads to stop it or not?
Courtney: Just mention when torquing the to do opposite lugs, not in a circular pattern. You DID it that way but did not mention it and some newbies may not know that is the proper way.......
Excellent idea 💡 to line up the nuts to the wheel 🛞. I wasn't aware that you lose torque when using an extension. I don't think Kubota has that point in their manual. I am thinking no one else either. I look forward to some I sights by other viewers.

Retorquing each fastener is also appropriate to assure each fastener is tight, similar to what is required for a cylinder head. Retorque each fastener until all do not move to assure content tightness.
I use a sharpie on all oil filters with date and hours installed so at a glance I know when it’s time to change filters and oil.
Regarding extensions when torquing. I just watched a test. Extensions affect fastener torque only when using an impact gun. Tightening with a torque wrench or rachtet is not affected.
Awesome, sounds like I don't have to worry about it. Thanks Simon!

Whew, now my eyes aren't bleeding!
Doesn't the liquid ballast damage your tire gauge? If it was spitting the liquid out, then the liquid was getting into the gauge.
No, it cleans up with water
I worked in the tire repair business quite a while. There are tire guages designed to get fluid in them w/ no damage. Just stick head of guage in clean water & pump the stick to flush it out. Also the tire should not be 100% full of fluid. Valve stem should be at 1200 when tech is filling it & he should stop filling just before level gets up to the stem. Thereafter whenever you check the pressure make sure the stem is at 1200 to minimize fluid in your guage.
Great video Courtney, I really enjoy all your videos! Your channel is one of my favorites.
Tap the air filter on a hard surface to shake the dirt out of the filter works as well. 😊
The lube shuttle is the proverbial feline PJs of ‘lubin’’. That thing makes you almost Want to grease those zerks!
As others have said, a straight socket extension will not change the torque reading. Definitely don’t use a higher torque value than recommended. Also, holding the extension isn’t the optimal technique as that can change the torque reading a little due to the friction with you hand. Better to rest your palm under the head of the wrench to hold the extension straight and let the head roll in your palm so that you aren’t impeding its rotation.
Good to know, thanks LT!
What. Are you Steve Austin or something?😂
I'm trying to figure out what is accomplished by jacking the loaded rear tire off the ground to check the pressure. I don't see the reason.
Simply to get the valve stem @ 12 o'clock. I would have just pulled forward but if a floor jack was super handy, I would consider it. I doesn't change the reading. His may have been a little overfilled as only air should have come out.
@@Clydedude1 Ah I see. I suppose inside a shop that might be necessary. I guess I was over-thinking it! Thanks.
That little tractor is a headache to maintain compared to the Massey GC series. The Massey hood isn't in the way of anything and everything is super easy to get to.
i put the loknlube fittings on all my grease guns
Nice!
Great video 😁👍I am impressed you greased the tractor and did not get it on your clothes. 😂Great helpful info. Thanks for the video 🚜💨☀
That first oil change was an experience on my Kubota LX2610. Not a lot of room for a filter wrench, and if you're a contortionist that helps😂 thanks for all the great videos
I have an LX2610 as well and mine was pained on from the factory. Wrench would not budge the filter. I had to score the paint and then punch a screwdriver through the filter to get it to break loose. It was the worst oil and filter change that I had ever experienced. At least it is no longer painted on and I didn't over-tighten it, so it should come off much easier next time.
Does 10 hours greasing intervals on the loader mean grease after 10 hours of loader operation? If so this could be 50 hours of tractor operation for many operators.
Yeah, 10 hours of loader operation
many good tips here i usually try to grease the main pivot points whenever i get ready to use but tie-rods and such can be over greased blowing out the seals but U_joints get LOTS of pressure . even in the winter check your radiator screen IF you feed hay or even moving dirt with your loader--wish that they had come up with the liquid ballast in the years back i have had several rims rust out from being filled with calcium fluid . i broke the axle tube on my Versatile 876 4x4 (260hp) twice, not a pleasant feeling quite sure loosing a wheel is right up there!!! tips from a lifetime of farming .
Hey Courtney, I’m a software developer by trade. I wanted to let you know I could easily build a script to loop through your web pages and look for that image. Not sure if it will change anything for you, but wanted to make you aware. Love the videos.
Nice tips. In this video, you said (as well as shown in the rules) that the contest was good until the end of March 2023. This is 2024. Was this a recycled video or is it a typo and the contest is indeed valid until the end of 2024?
I simply posted an older video in the Community tab. I do it all the time.
Good vid... my Lube Suttle worked great until I left it on the tractor, fell off the back bungee cord while the wifey was taking a ride around the field, now it dosen't hold a true vacuum. Let the search begin...lol
Good Imfo ty I allso keep a record on all equipment . If I sell it goes to . Buyer 👴🏆🐕🚜🕺😎😊
Haha, not many do!

Love the grease fitting position and recessed protection. Not sure about air screen. Will soon plug with dandelion seeds. Big screen on hood would give more protection and be easier to clean. Nice tractor!
duuuude ! I never played with video speed before, thanks!!! slowest is kinda funny
I have no actual knowledge to back this up, but I had heard if you use impact wrench extensions - those do have 'give' in them that can change the torque. As such I save their use for only impact wrench removal uses.
if using donaldson air filter assembly - most appear to; buy the gauge that tells you dirty your air filter is without having to open it. there is a little cap just on the elbow at the back it fits to.
My tractor came with marks on all of the critical torque bolts. My seller did it as a final checkout. Torque all bolts and mark them.
Great content as always Courtney! Thanks for the reminder on simple, preventative maintenance tips/checks. It'a the Slight Edge principle: easy to do, easy not to do! Make it a great one all!
About the high front tire pressure - you indicated that you had never added air to the tires. Tractors often ship with tires fully or even over-inflated to improve reduce bounce and improve stability. Since Summit has no dealer to set-up the tractor the pressures had probably never been reduced to the correct operating level.
" I break stuff on my tractor all the time, it's not my fault honest" ohhhh the look on your face when you said that priceless ha ha ha :)
Nice tip with the Sharpie. My dealer actually marked most of the common loosening bolts and nuts with a paint pen so they did the work for me!
Its spring when they going to start selling the summit
Here ya go! summittractors.com/where-to-buy.php
The one thing that I can provide. When using the torque wrench you want to go to the click then do not go back over the nut. The torque value has been achieved when you get to the click. When you go do it over and over you are actually changing the torque values. One time click then done.
Yeah, that makes sense to me
1:27 is that a steering stabilizer on the Summit? very nice...
oh interesting on 2nd look it has a pitman arm/drag link setup instead of rack and pinion? is that common on compact tractors? FWIW i would never speak poorly about recirculating ball... i liked the steering on my 2004 Suburban a lot better than my 2013 Suburban. big step backwards moving up to a GMT900 IMO.
good video the lube shuttle looks cool
Thanks for watching!
Do you check the torque on Wheel spacers
I've noticed you don't do the wheel spacer advertisement anymore did you give up on them
RimGuard is my new channel sponsor. Sponsors change from time to time.
You used to be more of a John Deere channel, which I liked, now it seems like you’re a summit channel, which I don’t like. Why the change?
The only thing constant is change.
I personally like the variety, keep up the good work!
@@GoodWorksTractors I am glad that the channel isn’t brand specific. Plus, I wouldn’t think that would be a great long term business model.
He doesn't sell used tractors anymore.
And that lime green paint on john deere is just way too expensive.
straight extensions do not affect torque on a torque wrench. crows-feet or dog-bone style torque adaptors can change your torque settings. all dependent on angle of offset and lengths of the wrench and the adaptor.
and the easiest way to account for that offset, is to turn the crow's foot to a 90 degree angle from the handle - then the offset is zero. You would need to calculate only when you get away from that angle - if you're adding to or subtracting from the natural length of the torque wrench
@@Idahoser11 I'm pretty sure you're only supposed to use a crows foot at 90 degrees on a torque wrench without looking it up. Some of them have the torque multiplier per 12" of wrench printed right on them.
coo1! ill take one.
Love the quote on your outro. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Love my Lube Shuttle !
Hi
Good Morning :)
@@GoodWorksTractors good morning
Great stuff - we appreciate you!
Thank you Steve!
7:39 THINK about this. How many people wipe the dipstick after they have checked the level and putting it back, like Courtney did? Why?? There's no reason to have to, but many do.
I have Rim Guard in my wheels and double stacked wheel weights and 8 40Lb suitcase weights on my 1025R, the problem is sometimes the tires don't spin when the rims are spinning, tires are stuck in the ground. Would it be a good idea to put screws in the rims into the tire beads to stop it or not?
Hmm, that's a new one for me. Tires spinning on the rims and the RimGuard isn't leaking out? Every once in awhile I'm completely stumped.
@@GoodWorksTractors Tractor time with Tim had this happen to him in one of the early episodes, no leaking of Rim Guard.
@Xo Sa chains wouldn't help, the tires don't spin only the rims spinning in the tires.
@Xo Sa Tractor is a 2017 filled at that time so not new tires 5-6 years old.
it does not happen all the time only when it really gets stuck.
A grease gun was one of the first tools I bought when I bought my 2025r to keep everything lubed.
First!!!
Haha, nice! 🏆🥳🍾🎇🎈🙌
Courtney: Just mention when torquing the to do opposite lugs, not in a circular pattern. You DID it that way but did not mention it and some newbies may not know that is the proper way.......
The start pattern only matters if you're torquing for the first time, if just checking you can go in a circle
🟢Your videos are very informative.!!!🟢👍
Excellent idea 💡 to line up the nuts to the wheel 🛞. I wasn't aware that you lose torque when using an extension. I don't think Kubota has that point in their manual. I am thinking no one else either. I look forward to some I sights by other viewers.
