Power curl down. Works same as the float but on the curl down function. Push the loader joystick to the right then push a little harder. It gives the curl down function the enough power to lift the tractors front end off the ground. I just learned this the other day watching another channel and I’ve had my BX for about 8 years and use it almost daily.
I’m hopeful to have the 3 point float pin on my tractor. It’ll be nice to use with the brush hog and land rake. Thanks for sharing, I enjoy watching your channel.
Good morning! I am a new tractor owner. I watched a bunch of your videos, gaining needed information prior to purchasing my new 2024 John Deere 2025R, with a loader, back blade and snow-blower (I live "out of town" in Duluth, MN and have a 1000' driveway!).
Thank you for doing these You Tube Videos! They are VERY helpful!
Very helpful tips. Thank you! That mirror and also storage in the loader tube are great ideas. Another one it seems people often don't know about on the smaller tractors is the cruise control. Handy for long mowing stretches to give your foot a break.
if so why do they add governors add a small weak spring that will give the governor weights something to push against. so steadying the snap action
I've owned a JD 5065E for over years. I learned 3 things, and loved the pvc pipe/storage in the loader tube, and yes I noted the drain slits!
I have had my tractor for 5 years. I learned 4 things! Thank you.
Yes. Bullet connectors.
I didn't know about the float feature on the 3 point. I'll check it out. Thanks.
One input from me. On my 1025R loader joystick, push all the way to the right and bucket dumps faster than normal.
Great videos.
Yes, good input on the loader!
Hey learned about both of those. Thanks!
I enjoy your videos and your style of presenting them. Keep up the great work! As for the hollow crossbar in the front loader on my 4320, I stuff the handle of a shovel all the way in until the shove; head touches the arm. then I've drilled 2 small holes in each corner of the shovel to hook a small bungee cord to and wrap around the loader arm. The Shovel stays put until I need it.
Bungees or Neodymium magnet(s), as long as what you're holding is ferrous. 😉🤠
I have a feature that's on my tractor that is rarely found on most today.
A small hole in front grill that lets you insert a crank. This allows the user to hand crank the engine, in case of starter failure.
I have had to use this feature for the last 8 years. The starter worked for 60 years prior to that, with few failures.
That would be slick!
60,years You can't get the quality now. Did you check your gaurentee
@@alanreid3063 Yes, true,,, my dad purchased this "1952 Super C Farmall" when I was a child. It still has one rear tire that is original from factory.
@@billbrown5813 Thats insane, how? Tread wear is a thing and so is dry rot
@@pws3rd170 I agree, it is insane. The tire now is completely bald,,, the texture looks like elephant skin (cracks),,, and the hardness of the hard is incredible, like a rock.
My dad purchased this tractor in the early 60's with all original tires,,, Over the years he had to replace all of the tires except for the one rear tire.
There was a 20 year period when the tractor sit still. During that time all the tires lost air and went flat, except for that original rear tire.
It can with stand a field of thorns without damage.. LOL
Yes, insane, but true.
NOTE; I dread the man that will have to replace that tire in the future. It may have to be cut off.
I just recently discovered the bucket float position on my loader (Kubota BX series). I had accidentally engaged it before and thought something was wrong with my tractor, so I was careful not to push it too far. Then in a random UA-cam video I saw a guy describe that feature. It has transformed my use of the bucket. Spreading gravel on my driveway when I maintain it is so much easier now.
Haha, there ya go!
I believe the kubotas also have a quick dump feature that is just a push beyond, just like the float is.
nother trick tilt bucket so the nose is up go forward and in reverse smothes with out digging in.
Regarding the 'extra' hole at the top of the loader post, in addition to the mirror mount, my neighbor mounted a bolt about 4" long to use for a handle to get on and off the tractor. Works great.
Regarding the tube on the loader frame, I use mine for holding shovels, etc. with the use of a rubber strap. But the main thing I use the tube for is to temporarily stuff the hay net or string in when I'm feeding cows. It'll hold 4-5 until I get back to the house; then I pull them out and dispose of them.
You told me about the float feature on the bucket, I asked because the stick kept getting stuck and I thought something was broke, LOL Thanks for the mirror Idea, I've been thinking about putting one on since I do a lot of road work with my 3046R.
Haha, glad you got that figured out!
All good stuff here btw, both for the newbie & veterans alike... I run a 2003 JD990, I have some of the features mentioned here, but not all of them. Over the winter I completed my own version of a 3PH carryall/tool rack at 60" wide along with a headache rack using expanded metal ( steel ). I also incorporated a rec'r hitch. All of my tools, rakes, shovels, pruners, chains, chainsaw holsters, etc. now have a home. The " Big Tool Rack " currently on the market sells for approx. $1500.00, I built a larger version & far more versatile with folding sidewalls for less than half the cost @ $644.00...
After ( 17 ) years running this tractor, the carryall build is by far the best investment I could have ever made for my tractor...
Thanks for sharing this video, very informative!
Bill on the Hill,
Vermont... :~)
I have a 2005 990 as well. I bought it second hand with 75 hours on it. I would love to see some pictures of what you built.
do you have pictures, or do you make additional copies, or have additional improvements now that you have been using for 8 months?
@@danielsinclair625 I just caught your reply back, yes, sort of. I documented the entire build, however my computer locked me out some months back now & I lost my entire collection of folders & all the jpegs within them! I also lost many of of my RAW files I will sort through my back up discs & see if I can find some & get back to you...
So yes, I've been using the carryall for close to a year now & have NOT taken it off the tractor, it is a beast, weight wise & it holds a substantial amount of firewood & I have loaded it up with 5 gal pails of salted sand as well too & towed a loaded trailer of firewood with it as well, approx. 1/2 a cord, plus the carryall & the bucket so it adds up to a healthy cord of wood per trip. The carryall/tool rack was a game changer for me in so many ways... :~)
@@billonthehill9984 thank you; that's a computer catastrophe. ouch
Good morning, I installed a BoltOnHooks Loader Grab Handle in the hole on the left side of my loader and it really helps me getting on and off the tractor. Enjoy your videos.
Great idea!
the tube storage is a good place for a long pry bar and a rag for checking fluid levels, the bar comes in handy when hooking up a attachment.
The bucket float! Thanks. 'Had no idea.
No matter how much you think you know, you don't always remember ! Thanks for the refresher - lessons .
Very true, thanks for watching Rick!
Years ago I put mirrors on my 1025R. Very helpful when driving down a road.
The float function on the 3 point is a handy thing to know and use when doing a lot of 3 point work. I keep mine in lock position when plowing but put it to float when running a rotary hoe, cultivator, or bale mover.
I use it for my landscape rake too. Especially helps on uneven ground to collect less soil and more debris..
I enjoyed your presentation! Gotta go play with my tractor now while these ideas are fresh in my mind!!😂 ps… love the bloopers!
My rear view mirrors are magnetic and attach to the loader uprights. I also have a rear work light attached to a strong magnet that is powered by a pigtail under the rear of the fender. The light is attached to the ROPS bar and can easily be moved to any position and even point forward if needed. I also added a long rod attached to the loader arm (standard on some tractors) that shows me the position of the bucket. This is especially helpful when I want the loader to be level when it is down. I have also found that a 6 foot high strength 3/8 chain will fit in my small tool box but is all I need about 95% of the time. I would probably add a pry bar along with a longer chain in the tube across the loader. I always told my son to keep a 5 foot 2x4 handy when hooking up equipment since it often happens on uneven ground and you need to scoot something to line up. I also advise everyone with a compact tractor to widen the rear tread 6-12 inches with wheel spacers.

Thanks for video. Never thought of making use of the loader tube for extra storage. Will have to keep that in mind.
Glad it was helpful!
Good information Courtney. Thanks. I need one of those mirrors.
I had no idea about the float function, thank you👍
One of the biggest hassles when hooking up a PTO shaft is getting the teeth to align properly. They almost never match up and manually rotating the implement to align the teeth can be difficult to nearly impossible. After owning my John Deere 2720 for at least 10 years, I just discovered this year, an incredibly easy way to do this. I don't know if this will work on all makes or models, but if you have both a rear and a mid PTO, whichever one is not engaged will turn freely. When I go to attach my rear PTO, I simply put the selector lever in the mid PTO setting. The rear PTO output shaft then turns completely freely and you can rotate it with two fingers to line up with the implement. Once everything is hooked up, simply put the selector back into the rear PTO position and you're ready to go. I never found any mention of this in the owner's manual and the dealer never pointed it out either.
Good input, yes I've done the same thing. Thanks for taking the time to share!
GREAT, great idea Joseph!!!! I have fought that battle for years on my 955. Thank you!
This is a very helpful tip. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for solving one of my biggest problems!
My tym tractor has mid pto, rear pto, both pto, and neutral. Just shift to neutral and the pto spins freely to hook up
I buy heavy duty magnets and hang them on loader frame. They hold everything from hatchets,chainsaw sharpeners..etc
Thanks for the tips. My old 2210 does not have much for hidden features, but good stuff.
The wiring harness at the back. I use it for my electric three point hitch sprayer. It turns the pressure pump on and off
Amazing features that the average person would be completely unaware of. Thank you.
Yeah, that was a fun video to make :)
I have actually just started noticing the floating 3 point hitch secret. Now every time I am looking at tractors I am searching out these various hidden enhancements. Wow, thank you for pointing these out.
as a new 1025 owner, these tips are awesome.
Oh. Something i just learned from reading my 650 manual, some tractors have little hooks on the outside of the 3pt draft arms to hold an extra set of pins on them.
On the subject of the loader lock-out switch ... On my Kubota BX2380 I remove the loader when I put the mower deck on to mow the lawn since it makes it so much easier for maneuverability. I engage the loader lock-out switch so that the loader joystick isn't accidentally moved to load up the hydraulic lines and fittings with pressure for the front end loader. Makes it easier to reconnect the lines since they will not be under pressure when the front end loader is reinstalled. Yeah I know, the joystick could be moved in all directions to relieve pressure on those lines but at least I'm not dead-heading those lines if the joystick is moved with the loader off. Great vid!
Good info Peter! Thank you for taking the time to share!
💥 This video is gaining some traction. Good tips! Great job.
Keep on tractoring! 👍
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while 😂👍
Thanks for sharing all the features I already have, but never knew.
Haha, thanks for watching!
Just bought my first new tractor John Deere 2032 for bush hogging 6 acres and tilling a small garden.Loving the tractor!
That tube on the loader is for keeping the operator alert. This is how it works- wasps build huge nests in there. Then every time you use the tractor wasps swarm around as you move. Keeps the operator wide awake!
Haha, safety first!
😲 ... 😐...🤣🤣🤣 I always keep stingers of various type in some strange places too.
I want to get that mirror before winter! I use a rear pto snowblower a lot. This will be a game changer.
Learn something new every day , Thanks !
1 thing I have been planning to do (since 2013) is make the cupholder improvement that will keep my water or travel cup from bouncing out. I'll do that in my spare time.
all the years of operating my tractor i thought i knew it all. the 3pt hitch floating position, i did not know that. you are awesome!!
Ha! Happy to help and thank you for watching!
yes awesome, just realised my branson also has this ability and from quickly looking at pics on my phone of tractor it has around 4 inches of float at this point, that will assist heaps with my verge flail mover on uneven ground
New tractor owner.. very valuable information. Thank you
Happy to hear it!
Thank you for your videos. I’m a new tractor owner. I purchased a new 1025r in August. I currently have 10 hours, and looking at preventive maintenance. Attachments include loader 120r, box scraper, bush hog and quick hitch imatch. I watched your video regarding lube / shuttle and have a question. You recommend using Mos2 moly grease and lube shuttle recommendations for compact tractors is to use G200 multi purpose grease. Not sure what type of grease to buy.
Great video, I pick up my very first tractor (JD 1025R) this weekend. I am very excited..
Awesome, have fun with it!
Great video. I was not aware my tractor may have a float feature. Thanks. That should be a big help.
If buying a tractor, check for the rear implements float down feature. My older New Holland does not have it...unbelievable. That is tough on my bush hog or my tractor if I try to stop it in the middle. I would not have bought it had I known.
Thanks for watching!
What a great, well done video. I learned a lot about my JD. Thanks!! I ‘liked’ and ‘subscribed’.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks Ted!
Loving the videos while on self quarantine
Stay safe Warren!
@@GoodWorksTractors thank you to you too Courtney!
Look after yourself!
This was very helpful, I just started driving a tractor and knew I was missing something important to save time and used the tractor correctly.
Happy to help!
Good tricks to know! Another good thing to know is, if it ain't green, it aint mean! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Haha, I'll keep my mouth shut!
what john deere
Some good tips but folks need to understand that the 3 point hitch doesn't provide down pressure. Virtually anything you pull with your 3 point is "floating" along on it's own weight. A light tiller or disc won't go into hard ground. You have to add weight to make them cut.
Correct which is one of the reasons I normally discourage discs on small tractors. Almost never enough weight to engage the ground. The bigger machines can handle heavy discs or weight added to the disc.
if you angle the tine blade it will pull in like a plow might have to fit a depth gauge to keep it from digging down. also the space inside the hub on the wheels lots of space evan space under drivers seat keep looking youll find lots of spaces
On the top of my skid steer cage a made a light bar that goes around the outside edge out of 1" box tubing and mounted thin strobe lights to it. The advantage it also adds a place on top of cab to carry a couple chains and the don't fall off. I also throw my chainsaw up there when I'm trimming trees and it stays there
I Put a Hydrolic Cylinder as a top link, Works great for hook ups and with my Box scraper.
Common rail diesels dont have glow plugs for those that dont know. But if its really cold a good block heating element is in order. Or an intake grid heater.
My Kubota 3301 doesn't have some of these features, but there is some great info here on those it does. Thanks.
Really useful video and tips for this cool products for new omner as me! Good job man!
Thanks so much, have a great day!
I have a John Deere 3520 tractor on which I think the left draft bar is bent. Is removing and replacing it a DIY project or dealer service only. If DIY, what are the steps needed to replace it? All looks rather straight forward except for the pin where the draft bar attaches to the tractor housing.
Both floating features are super useful and I had no idea! Thanks man!
love the chain draw idea in the loader frame
Yes, me too!
Yep... been wondering where to store that!
I use the loader tube for rakes and shovels storage.
I just bought a John deere 870 with a belly mower. How do I get the 3 point hitch to work? The only lever I have raises and lowers the mower deck
Good video! I worked in the farm equipment world all my working years. That John Deere with the brunch cruncher, wow very nice boots in the back! First I thought there were duals but by the look of the rim it’s one big tire! 👍👍
Haha, yeah just one big ol tire on there. Thanks for watching!
Good Works Tractors Wow nice tires! Didn’t know they made that size!
Great video and I ordered a mirror of my JD 1023E
Awesome, enjoy!
Those "float" function pins on the 3PH draft links are really more intended to allow lateral float between the two draft links vs easier parallel draft link up and down flotation (which is, as stated, already built into the 3PH mechanism). This lateral float lets the 3PH implement oscillate from side to side relative the tractor's rear axle, so implements with side to side skid shoes or gauge wheels follow ground contours better.
Agreed. Didn't explain well. Thanks for your input!
Ph? Pt?!?
3PH mean Three Point Hitch
Just found your channel. Good job and good information. Thanks1
Thanks for watching!
awesome video Courtney, thanks so much learned of two things I had not clue about and should be able to put to use. I love your videos! Don't tell Tim, but while I like his, yours are a little better overall
Haha, I'll keep that between you and I!
On the FEL torque tube tool storage trick... On a JD 4720 with 400cx FEL I had, I used a pair of "Plastic Mechanical Test Plugs" to cap off the tube ends. They're available in various diameters at big box stores. Hopefully you can find one to fit. I think mine were for 4" tubes. The whole trick with these is that you inset them into the tube then tighten a large wing nut that expands a rubber ring which then seals the tube. Slicker than frog fur! 😉. One caveat... The torque tube will be completely sealed. That'll keep things in there dry, but it'll also keep moisture in (like storing a wet chain or tow strap, etc.).
I saw those when doing some research. Question: Any issues shoving the chain in or retrieving it? Or, does it tend to stay in place or at least accessible?
@@GoodWorksTractors I used a long chunk of 1/2" PVC pipe with a flat bar "hook" on one end. The pipe was just long enough to fit inside the torque tube with both plugs in place. That pipe was used to feed a chain into the torque tube as well as to pull the chain out. It was then just laid on top of the chain before closing up the torque tube with a plug. That said, the PVC "tray" you showed is probably a better solution.
Nice video Courtney. I'm going to add that one to my favorites list. What was the noise at 16:36 ? Do you have some kinda Paranormal Activity taking place ???? HaHa. Stay safe and keep the videos coming.
Ha! I still don't know. Spooky! 😂👍
The three point float lever is about left to right float. With no power down a device will float but will be forced to be flat across the arms. Most useful IMO for mowers but I will use it will back blades and such on a driveway. Opposite is when you want to create a crown you need that locked so you can force a box blade off level.
I have a JD 1025R and have used the wires in the back to add additional lighting on my ROPS. You pointed out wires on both sides, do they only have power when you turn on the light switch or is there a set that has power with the key switch. I would like to have power to the back of my tractor to run a sprayer.
I would like to know if you carry or sell a quick hitch category one and what is the price.
thank you
This was a fantastic video! I didn't knit ha about that loader lockout button! I'll have to check to see if my JD 2320 has that. You just don't know how many times I'm doing something with the 3 pt looking behind me.... Not knowing my leg has made to loader with the bucket or forks go down.... And I make some very destructive alterations to the lawn! This will be one of the more useful things I take advantage of! I also use the forks as a lift for the smaller mower tractors for maintenance. I back them onto the forks, chain the back of the tractor to the forks so it can not roll off the forks by accident, then raise the forks so I can work under the lawn tractor. It works great like a mini hoist. I usually place bricks under the forks though so they can not accidentally lower.
Haha, awesome. Glad you found something new! Stay healthy and safe!
Great tips. One that I thought of was in my 200cx loader. I used the top pegs by the quick attach to hold “extra”pins when I broke one off. Also, it sounds lame but a hidden feature could be to flip the tires around to get a wider stance. I read though my loader instructions on line since you published your video on balast. The manual tells you that you HAVE to have a minimum tread width to use it. My 4410 rims are reversible however I would need to make sure they are wider. This is quite helpful BEFORE I fill it with fluid and try to reverse the rims. One feature you have talked about on a few posts was with regard to the Joystick and rock shaft knobs. I also the rock shaft rate knob to lockout my rockshaft Incase my kids jump on and bump the lever to lower it and have the ballast crush someone. I also do the same with the joystick lever. Oh I also use my tubes on the loader to conceal my extra rolls of toilet paper that I’m hoarding. 😉
Great info Mike, thank you for taking the time to share!
Geeez, Mike, I realize the 2nd wave is coming but I thought the TP hoarding thing was over. Maybe I better go buy 600 rolls tomorrow just in case. Thanks. Clever comment. I love it.
TP is overrated! An old towel is better! Butt floss n toss! (Even works when wet! Try THAT with TP!)🤪💩 😜🤠
Safety is a Definite must,my 2032 when running the Brush Mower and engaged in reverse,would kill the tractor,was frustrating from killing it,but found a u tube video that took you thru steps and the control board,and easily made it so I didnt have to push the pto button afterwards,great video again
It is very frustrating. Just a safety issue!
@@GoodWorksTractors ,yea really had me sayin WTH,then I found info and cured it,works great now,but Im sure when I get the 30039R here in a few weeks,Ill have to start over again,for sure frustrating
Very helpful information
Excellent 📹
I use the tube on a loader for shovels or rakes if I'm spreading gravel.
Yep, good use for sure
I do the same thing. One shovel or two rakes fit and sit quite well
Cool, I could of done that this past week
I learned some new things thanks
Where is the link to the Good Works Tractor Amazon store link you mention at 12:25?
I have looked through the manual for anything regarding making an adjustment to the main hydraulic relief valve. The manual does go on to explain the testing to make sure the proper hydraulic pressure is being used but nothing as to its location and how to adjust it. I have a 2019 1025R and use it just about everyday. You have me hooked as to watching all your video's on the 1025R and I have learned a lot already . Do you already have a video on this subject or any info that could help me understand the system?
Great video!!!
A few good to knows in this. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
The holes in the loader frame were used to hold the loader to a wooden pallet during shipping from the factory
I learned 4 things good job.
I added some lights to my JD 2035. I used Grote bullet connecters. They are 180 diameter Grote is a trucking light manufacturer
They have wiring harness.. I did not think about the splitters
very good video.It seems like all these compact tractors are the same as a chinese compact tractor I have been using which was made in 2006, its about the same size and has all the same functions
How to taise /lower cutting deck ?? Also the 3PTL is dead oil level ok ,checked the reducing valve still no action
Loved it. Great vid. Can't wait to see your dually in action.
Thanks! Hopefully some good video of it in the field pretty soon!
Thanks Bud
I love tractors although I have no use for one .... I would still love to own one. lol
🤣👍
When you buy one you soon find lot of use for it.
One day I was driving my 5320 John Deere cab tractor threw town and decided to stop at a Dairy Queen to get a bite to eat. A couple of the employees may a fuss over my John Deere tractor, say how they like tractors and they said it was the first time anyone ever came in there driving a tractor. I have had people ask me serval times if it was fun to drive my tractor , and they said it looks like it would be fun. I was farm raised growing up driving tractors. I would have to say yes it is enjoyable "fun" to drive a tractor. Using them with all the different equipment. I like all the different brands of tractors , I do have a few favorite brands John Deere and Massey Ferguson's. I love all the older model tractors. Good video.
@@donaldthomas5852 I drove a tractor once when I visited my home land of Italy. My uncle owned Lamborghini and I just fell in love . I believe my fascination is with all the options the gearing and attachments allow this beautiful machine to do.
I just bought a 5055e. Is there and emergency brake? I have a backhoe and sometimes the tractor moves when I'm using it. I have the bucket holding me in place and what I thought was park. But after seeing it online I guess I wasn't really in park
Great video and I have both Kubota and Deere tractors, so I now I want to use these features on both.
Have fun!
You mentioned 3 point hitch float. Using this feature can be very important as float allows your attachment to follow the contour of the ground. Sometimes, if the attachment, like a 72 inch flail mower, cannot follow contours, your attachment frame can become bent with twisting force. What I have done is to replace the vertical lift arms with a piece of heavy chain. so that my flail, chipper, rotary cutter can follow contours without damage.
Hi William, that's a really good idea especially if you're running a dedicated attachment on that back side. Thanks for sharing!
So the float that is being described is not really up and down and much as allowing each arm to go up and down some individually.... Like eliminating the twisting chance?
Correct. Still up and down, but it's independent on the right and left arm. Basically it adds float to a second axis.
@William Mack
Chain is a great idea for wide implements being used on side-to-side undulating ground for when you don't want one side of the implement digging in from the weight of the implement, or lifting its opposite side off of the ground!!!
I just checked my JD 2320 and it doesn't seem to have that option. Bummer
What is your opinion about a 1988 Ford 1700 compact tractor
Any tips on 4320 compact tractor?
Looking for a 75 - 100hp tractor with cab & attachments. what tractor do you recommend?
I have a JD 3032e does it have glow plugs
I have a 1025e series...can I fit a backhoe on this 3 point hitch?.
good information
I ran a John Deere 450 dozer for a friend of mine who owned it and used it on his farm and he saw me using the FLOAT function on the plow blade and had it for many years and had no idea it had that feature until he saw me running it. Lol
Great video, good information, I have a 5065E, would you recommend using the 3 point hitch float when bush hogging
Yes, I believe the manual would recommend you do so. Thanks for watching!
Can you run the PTO in reverse to unstuck an auger
