I have a John Deere 3025E. As an active duty service member heading into my first winter with my tractor in the Colorado mountains, your videos have helped me tremendously in preparing and maintaining my first tractor. I'm looking to utilize my JD to its fullest as I didn't buy my 2nd tractor first and get a maxed out 4000 series. Thanks for the fantastic support to a bunch of strangers!
@@Dale.Nienow What military base is in the mountains in CO? Carson, Peterson, AF Academy are all on the East side where the snow melts fairly quickly. I spent a couple of years at Carson.
@@Dale.Nienow NORAD is right across the interstate from Ft. Carson. You can see the entrance from post. It is not back in the mountains. It is in Cheyenne Mountain, which is the first piece of rock bigger than a hill on the East side of the Rockies next to the open plains. It is a pretty cool place. They used to offer tours, not sure if they do anymore.
Weight is your friend here, either adding ballast by filling the tires w/ a rear blade or investing in suitcase weights. I run a kioti ck4010 hst, its larger then the 1025r, I filled my rear tires (liner w/ calcium) and run a 72" rear blade, took the front bucket off and bought a hla 72" snow pusher, even w/ all the extra weight running r4 tires I still have traction issues when the snow is 12+ inches, so I bought front and rear tire chain, diamond pattern for the front and double ladder for the rear. Most of the time for medium snows I just put the front chains on and its more then enough in the traction / steering department, for large nor'easter blizzard events 18" + storms I'll put the rear chains on, its a bumpier ride but I never got stuck once and the traction makes the tractor like a sherman tank, it can push through anything.
Who doesn't like free? Even better than free are the helpful videos produced by GWT..THANK YOU! I own a B2650 with a cab and live in NE Wisky. After retiring from the military with almost 3 decades of service I've got some parts that are worn out and owning a tractor is a must. Being new to owning a tractor and having some land to manage, we've found plenty of ways to use our tractor, and all these videos really help! Having a set of Bora wheel spacers could definitely improve the stability and safety of the tractor! I have a snowblower on the front of the tractor which was a must and makes cleaning up way easier. It did take some getting used to clearing the gravel driveway the first season and lessons learned in the spring when you see gravel all over the grass. Now I let a basecoat of snow buildup and adjusted the skids to keep it almost an inch up. Keep up the awesome work producing the videos. Stay safe, y'all.
First gen handicap farmer here. We just bought 10.5 acres in Chicagoland area and we bought a new Holland 35hp workmaster. Super excited to get to farming. Good channel for new farmers keep up the good work. Cheers from Wrought Iron Farm.
I have a JD 2025R and this will be its first winter. No snow to speak of in this part of Oregon, but we will receive endless weeks of rain, followed up with more rain... An alternative to the heated seat pad - an electric vest. I wore one in my motorcycle days - thermostat controlled, connected to the vehicle's battery. Worn under a good jacket, it did an amazing job of keeping hands and feet warm.
I own a 2021 John Deere 4066R and I’m going with the snow pusher. I’m new to the tractor community but I have experience in heavy equipment. The more I use the tractor the more I learn and with the help of people like yourself makes it easier!
Good Morning Courtney from the Adirondacks.. One thing you learn quick here is that as soon as the leaves start to change you better be ready for winter… pulling in the firewood containers now with my New Holland Boomer 45 and those forks sure come in handy… Bought it used w/18 hours on it and love the machine, (it was too small for the prior owner)…God Bless…Chief..{NYS/ADK}
I have a 2016 John Deere 3038e. It cuts our grass, tills our gardens, cleans out our stalls, plows our snow and drills fence post holes here in west branch Michigan! My Deere is the best, most used tool that I have ever purchased.
I bought my first John Deere garden tractor in 1980, a 214. It was great. Traded it for a 425 in 2000 and it always treated me well. Traded it for my current X750 in 2019. Love the X750. Works great for mowing and snow removal.
I do not personally own it but I am the proud beneficiary of driving a John Deere 5075e tractor that I treat as my own. I love your videos for the knowledge I am gaining.
I have a 2008 John Deere 790. I just moved to Jacksonville, Texas, and bought it from the previous owner of the property. I don't have much tractor experience yet, but I enjoy watching your videos and am learning quite a bit. I also have a 1945 Case SC I inherited from my Dad that I plan to restore.
Gib I have a JD 4300 with a Curtis cab and JD snowblower in NW Montana. We have a three mile driveway and frequently 3-4 feet of snow. Works awesome. A caution-before I got the wheel spacers, I had a link break on my tire chains while I was driving. The chain hooked the brake linkage pulling the left rear brake into full. This sheared a gear in the transmission. Lesson learned-get the wheel spacers if you use tire chains, always double check your tire chain links and tension and if you hear a chain flopping around, STOP and investigate. Lots of good tips on your site, thank you.
2025r owner here. excited for my first winter with it! been seeing the bora wheel spacers in your videos and they have been on my list to order!! Love the videos. Keep em coming. I always get excited when I get the notification that you posted a new video!
I have a 3039r tractor. It has done alot for us this year. Leveling out our homesite and now getting it ready for winter. The videos are very helpful. My boys and i are always enjoying the work horse of our tractor.
I have a 2012 3320 with about 400 hours. I purchased it new and absolutely love it. I’ve enjoyed your videos for several years. Thanks for the informational videos.
I'm finishing up my winter prep project as we speak. I designed, built and installed hydraulic angle function on my scraper blade that I use with my Kubota M5660. Next I scraped, sanded and painted the implement. I used Summit Hydraulics, Depatie Fluid Power, and Outback Wraps products on my build. Turned out sweet and will be a big help so I don't have to dismount the tractor to angle my blade when plowing snow!
Some good tips here. Thanks. I can say that chains on all 4 of my LS XJ2025 totally saved my butt last year. In WI we had some very deep and heavy snow falls that required the chains. My front tire chains barely fit so some spacers would be helpful just for peace of mind. In addition to all of the tractor and equipment tips, I also like to complete tasks such as installing in marking flags, reflectors to indicate the edge of pavement or obstacles and removing any lawn decorations that can be hidden in the snow or should not be hit by snow from my snow blower. Other things to consider are crack filling in pavement/cement or regrading gravel. Although when I had a gravel driveway I found that doing this too late in the fall did not allow enough setup time. This leaves too many rocks loose and they can be easily scraped off into your lawn.
I have a John Deere 2038R. I almost rolled it this summer when I hit a soft spot on my switch back road at the property and definitely feel like wheel spacers would have made all the difference in the world! Thanks for your videos as they’ve made my life so much easier.
I am somewhat an urban farmer with a Kubota BX25. Our garden is about 1/2 acre and I do snow removal for the neighborhood. Thanks for your videos. I have learned alot.
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers milestone ! I look forward and enjoy each of your videos . I also find them helpful when dealing with hurdles that I might have with my BX2380.
First time tractor owner here. Opted for the 1023E over a JD mower for the versatility. These videos have been very helpful as I start to learn my way around a tractor.
Just picked up my first tractor, a 1025r with a snow blade. Have a 430 foot long grave driveway to keep clear this winter. A set of wheel spacers would be necessary if I needed to add chains for this task. This channel has been so informative for me. Thanks for all your hard work.
2019 2025r with 120r & 260b. Made the mistake of playing on my elderly neighbors 2025r. I couldn't resist buying my own. We're 50 years apart in age but have become pretty good friends through owning our john deeres. I've shown him some of your videos and he enjoys watching as much as the rest of your subscribers. It's a dangerous game watching sometimes, you have a way of making us all spend more money.
pwvisc16 I'm 70 yrs old & have a 2019 John Deere 3033R, which is very tipsy. Would sure like those BORA Spacers. FYI...I am subscribed and watch your channel all the time. Your videos have help me in operating & maintaining my 3033R. In addition, you have also given me some great ideas, on preparing my tractor for winter. Keep up your videos and information flow ... Note, I really like the C&W background music, especially the banjo. Many Thanks!!
I have a jd 1025r, of course thanks to this channel on being the deciding factor. Using the bucket as a snow removal tool, I can testify on tearing the edge up......I just took a grinder and cleaned it up and took the razor sharp edge off so me or the wife didn't cut our ankles.
Just took delivery of a Kubota BX2601 with 54" bucket with backhoe and thumb attachment. It's my first compact so I'm really new to the game and one of the main reasons I'm subscribed to this channel. I really like the vids on attachments and what each are specifically designed for. Those items will be next on the "need to purchase" list. Keep up the great content! Thanks!
Hi Matt, ck your snowblower if it is equipped with a plastic impeller, my neighbor bought his in 2018 & the dealer just contacted him that they have an upgrade kit for a metal impeller & they are also changing the single chain drive to a dual…God Bless…Chief..{NYS/ADK}
Love this channel. I have a JD 2025R. No snow equipment just the bucket. As long as I tilt the bucket correctly I have no issues with digging into the grass. Thanks you for putting out so many useful videos.
I have a JD 1025R new to me in 2013. 750+ hrs on it now. Started moving snow using loader and bucket for a few yrs. It works but is slow. Subsequently began finding used pieces to complete a front plow w/hydraulics setup. Took 3 yrs but I got it done. Always looking for new and updated info. Love the channel.
I'm using a John Deere 2025R that I have had for about a year. Your channel has helped me understand my tractor better as well as the use of the many available attachments. We don't see much snow here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina but we do on occasion. A few years ago we had a storm that dumped about 4 inches on us. I wish I had my tractor back then. We do, however, have a lot of soft wet ground to negotiate. Because of this I have had some stability issues when crossing soft areas. I quickly learned about self-recover on a 2025R using my backhoe. I think a wider tractor would help on softer ground. Thanks for the great info as always.
I own a John Deere 4310 in the blustery foothills in Idaho, a few miles away from the edge of a windmill farm. The snow drifts here are epic, and am grateful for my green tractor with a meteor snowblower. My property is very hilly, so some wheel spacers would be great!
My everyday all purpose tractor is a John Deere 4052R. Snow removal, mowing pastures, tree clean up, gravel driveway maintenance, miscellaneous property upgrades and maintenance. I have been looking at getting a set of wheel spacers since not a single part of my acreage is flat. Also, if you want to know of another good tire, I put Alliance 550 tires on my tractor about a year ago. They are far superior for how I use my tractor over the factory R4 tires.
I have a Kubota L2501. This is my first winter with this. You have a lot of great tips. Even the obvious ones are good because I find myself forgetting them. I use my tractor in uneven ground so a set of wheel spacers would be a lifesaver.
I own a JD 3038E, a 2010 which I purchased new in Maine after coming home from military orders living overseas for 3 years. I use a Frontier SB 1154 snow blower rear mount. Great channel 👏
I have a 1025r with the loader bucket and use that for almost everything around the farm In the winter I use it for snow relocation and use edge tamers that help keep the stone on the driveway. Also back blade with a rubber blade. Keep the good information coming!
I have a John Deere 2038R I do from time to time feel uneasy about using my tractor on certain ground on my farm. Your videos really have helped me use my tractor more. Thanks!
I have a 3025D. I have found these videos have helped me understand the ins and outs/ Dos and Don'ts of my tractor. Thank you for the information you share.
I’ve used a 1023e for the last 8 years in the northeast. Biggest challenge for me is the variation in the density of snow. A big storm with heavy snow is always a challenge when using a pusher, but bucket or blower works. Nice to have options!
We have a BX2360. We don't mow with it but the snow removal is great with a blower and a plow both front mount. What we can lift, like fire wood rounds is great to have. The biggest down side to the tractor is that it is a pin on bucket. I did add a tooth bar and that helps it to dig. Wheel spacers I feel would help a lot. Thank you for your videos.
I run a Yanmar SC2400 for my tractor. I have a belly mower, and rear mount snow blower, and a couple of other small attachment. It's been a life saver for all my projects.
I push snow on a 1500' paved driveway with my x728. I also push snow on about 2 miles of access trails for firewood access through the woods behind my house. I don't plow those trails down to earth, the packed snow makes for a smoother trail, and a smoother drag for logs. I have loaded tires on HDAP tires and put a rubber edge on the my blade. Keeps the asphalt clear as long as I get on it before driving over it. Much of the drive is through the woods, so, I like to keep it clean and let the sun melt it down bare.
First, Congratulations on hitting 100,000+ subscribers. I tell everyone I know with a tractor about your channel, especially those of us 1st time newbies. My first and current tractor is a Mahindra 4550. I love the beast but it's bigger than I needed for only 2 acres so I do a lot of work for others with it (thanks for that video you posted about making money with the tractor and having someone else help pay for it 😀) so I can purchase my second tractor for the property. With all the helpful information I've learned on this channel my next tractor/toy will be a JD 1025E. Again, thanks for all the great advice and keep up the Great Work!!!
I own a 2009 JD 2320. I mow with a 62D1 drive over deck. BORA Wheel spacers would improve my stability especially on the hills. Congrats on 100K. I was stationed at Wurtsmith AFB, near Oscoda MI several years ago, now live near Abilene, Texas.
I have a 1996 john deere 425. This is my first tractor ive ever owned and so far its been an absolute monster. Its my mower and I now have a snow blade for it, so Im real excited for winter
I have a new 2021 1025r. I have plowed snow for over 20 years and this year I am adding the 54" blower to the fleet. It will make opening up privet drives easier. thanks for your videos.
Kubota L4240....Not even sure I need spacers, but, ya never know. I run chains on the fronts on my tractor when plowing with a front blade. Makes ALL the difference! You have a great channel! Thanks!

Hello Courtney. The winter prep tips are spot on. Here in New England we are starting to prep for winter and then just wait for the flakes to fly. My 2019 Deere 1025R did well last winter and I can only hope for the same this year. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve got a 1025R and I’m trying to slowly restore parts of the family farm. Lots of hills make it interesting. The Bora well spacers would be so helpful and make it more safe. Especially when trying to remove snow from the driveway that runs up and down the hills from the road.
I have a Kioti CS 2520 and got it this summer to help with little jobs of moving dirt and logs. I mill some logs and also cut and split for firewood. I enjoy seeing some of the options out there for a tractor my size and learning some tips and tricks for owning a tractor in general. Always some good content on GWT!
I've owned alot of tractors but i currently own a 2018 1025R and i love your channel when it comes to new attachements for my tractor. keep up the good work.
Great video Courtney as always. I have stated in the past that you are partly the reason for my purchase of the 1025r that i have and enjoy using and the attachments and implements(that i get from gwt). The videos are informative, entertaining, and food for thaught. Have a great day and be safe!. Tim
I been driving a John Deere 670 for 20 years now but plan on getting a 4R series snow cab when prices come back down from the covid high. Some day ... soon ... any day now ... I'm waiting ... this is taking forever! Cheers!
I had wheel spacers on my BX2380 and they really made a difference. I now have a LX2610 with loaded tires, but I'd love to add spacers to this tractor. Your vedio provides a nice checklist for winter.
3039R power reverser. Tar River grapple. John Deere 3rd function. Spee-Co quick hitch. R4 tires and 2.5 inch steel Bora wheel spacers (rear). Spacers completely changed the tractor on the hills. Highly recommended.
I just sold my Ford Jubilee. I bought a new *this year* Kubota BX2380. I wanted something that both my wife and I can use. This works for snow and as a “powered wheelbarrow.” We use it for general gardening.
I have a Mahindra 1635 35hp with a loader. I worked With Bora last year to select and install 4.5inch spacers which really helps the stability on the hills that is my property.
I had a 2016 Mahindra 1526 with no cab used mainly for snow removal and just bought a new Bobcat CT2035 which has a cab and a rear blower. Anxious to try it this winter. I like this channel, very informative.
Another great video! I have a 2021 1025r . This will be my first winter with the tractor. thanks for all the informational videos for all the new tractor owners!
Expecting my brand new JD 2025r next week, can’t wait ! Front Snowblower, backhoe, box blade, grapple… been watching pretty much all your video for last 2 weeks so I know the basic. Love your videos !
I have a JD 1025r and love it. My property is very hilly and my less careful stepfather has tipped the tractor over. Thankfully no damage to man or machine but we could really use those spacers!
Brand new to the tractor world! 2015 1025R with loader, 54” snowblower, pallet forks, and ballet box. Will be maintaining a half mile road to our house this winter.
Frontline healthcare hero here. 1 more cut and the underbelly comes off the 1025r. I have clamps to keep the bucket off the driveway and I have a 105d with a 46" blade to scrape. Lake effect snowbelt is tough on gear.
I have a 2014 JD 2032R (Generation 1). I also have a 1954 JD50, but that's more of an ornament than a useful tractor. I'm talking a week off here in October for the annual seasonal change over of both equipment and outdoor items. I've started my own "honey do" list and am getting worried I won't have time to get to it all! Hopefully, I'll beat the snow, but living in northern MN, you never know!! This will be my second winter with the 2032R, but I really don't use it for snow removal. My walk-behind snow blower is still going, but maybe after that dies, I'll start using the tractor more.
I have a 2025r. Yard is very hilly so I'm always paying close attention not to tip. Have been very close before and don't want to experience that again! Thanks for this opportunity to win!
I have a JD 3520. In winter I use chains on the rear only, and I steer with the brakes. Putting heavy chains on was a chore, until I figured an easy way to do it. I plow with a 3-pt grader blade, and cleanup with the bucket. Sometimes I wish I had a front blade.
I have a John Deere 3025E. As an active duty service member heading into my first winter with my tractor in the Colorado mountains, your videos have helped me tremendously in preparing and maintaining my first tractor. I'm looking to utilize my JD to its fullest as I didn't buy my 2nd tractor first and get a maxed out 4000 series. Thanks for the fantastic support to a bunch of strangers!

I’ll be seeing for the first time this winter how my 1025R handles the snow. Your videos are a big help. Thank you!
Weight is your friend here, either adding ballast by filling the tires w/ a rear blade or investing in suitcase weights.

This will be a good weekend for some preseason prep. maybe do some hunting too.

2038r here. Still learning and sounds like I will always be learning about using the tractor!?! Kudos to your videos!!
I have a JD 2025R and this will be its first winter. No snow to speak of in this part of Oregon, but we will receive endless weeks of rain, followed up with more rain...
An alternative to the heated seat pad - an electric vest. I wore one in my motorcycle days - thermostat controlled, connected to the vehicle's battery. Worn under a good jacket, it did an amazing job of keeping hands and feet warm.

I'm finishing up my winter prep project as we speak. I designed, built and installed hydraulic angle function on my scraper blade that I use with my Kubota M5660. Next I scraped, sanded and painted the implement. I used Summit Hydraulics, Depatie Fluid Power, and Outback Wraps products on my build.

This leaves too many rocks loose and they can be easily scraped off into your lawn.
I have a John Deere 2038R. I almost rolled it this summer when I hit a soft spot on my switch back road at the property and definitely feel like wheel spacers would have made all the difference in the world! Thanks for your videos as they’ve made my life so much easier.
I am somewhat an urban farmer with a Kubota BX25. Our garden is about 1/2 acre and I do snow removal for the neighborhood. Thanks for your videos. I have learned alot.
I have had my 1025R for 6 months and your content has been very helpful, thank-you so much.
Good reminder. Congrats on 100k. 1025R owner here.
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers milestone !
I look forward and enjoy each of your videos . I also find them helpful when dealing with hurdles that I might have with my BX2380.
Enjoy your videos and have 1025R that I've had for three years. It's a great little tractor for a 82 year old man.
First time tractor owner here. Opted for the 1023E over a JD mower for the versatility. These videos have been very helpful as I start to learn my way around a tractor.
Just picked up my first tractor, a 1025r with a snow blade. Have a 430 foot long grave driveway to keep clear this winter. A set of wheel spacers would be necessary if I needed to add chains for this task.
This channel has been so informative for me. Thanks for all your hard work.
2019 2025r with 120r & 260b. Made the mistake of playing on my elderly neighbors 2025r. I couldn't resist buying my own. We're 50 years apart in age but have become pretty good friends through owning our john deeres. I've shown him some of your videos and he enjoys watching as much as the rest of your subscribers. It's a dangerous game watching sometimes, you have a way of making us all spend more money.

I'm 70 yrs old & have a 2019 John Deere 3033R, which is very tipsy. Would sure like those BORA Spacers. FYI...I am subscribed and watch
your channel all the time. Your videos have help me in operating & maintaining my 3033R. In addition, you have also given me some great
ideas, on preparing my tractor for winter. Keep up your videos and information flow ... Note, I really like the C&W background music, especially the banjo. Many Thanks!!
I have a jd 1025r, of course thanks to this channel on being the deciding factor. Using the bucket as a snow removal tool, I can testify on tearing the edge up......I just took a grinder and cleaned it up and took the razor sharp edge off so me or the wife didn't cut our ankles.
Just took delivery of a Kubota BX2601 with 54" bucket with backhoe and thumb attachment. It's my first compact so I'm really new to the game and one of the main reasons I'm subscribed to this channel. I really like the vids on attachments and what each are specifically designed for. Those items will be next on the "need to purchase" list.
Keep up the great content! Thanks!
I have a Kubota L3560. Going into my second winter with it. This is my first tractor and these videos have been a huge help for me! Thanks
I have a 1025R and I love it! Watching your videos helped me through my first year, Thank you!
1025r owner here. Snow removal was the main goal as NY winters can be brutal.
John Deere 1025r, used for moving snow and year-round yard work, brush hogging, snowblower, box blade, loader work
Hi Matt, ck your snowblower if it is equipped with a plastic impeller, my neighbor bought his in 2018 & the dealer just contacted him that they have an upgrade kit for a metal impeller & they are also changing the single chain drive to a dual…God Bless…Chief..{NYS/ADK}
Love this channel. I have a JD 2025R. No snow equipment just the bucket. As long as I tilt the bucket correctly I have no issues with digging into the grass. Thanks you for putting out so many useful videos.
I have a JD 1025R new to me in 2013. 750+ hrs on it now. Started moving snow using loader and bucket for a few yrs. It works but is slow. Subsequently began finding used pieces to complete a front plow w/hydraulics setup. Took 3 yrs but I got it done. Always looking for new and updated info. Love the channel.
I'm using a John Deere 2025R that I have had for about a year. Your channel has helped me understand my tractor better as well as the use of the many available attachments. We don't see much snow here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina but we do on occasion. A few years ago we had a storm that dumped about 4 inches on us. I wish I had my tractor back then. We do, however, have a lot of soft wet ground to negotiate. Because of this I have had some stability issues when crossing soft areas. I quickly learned about self-recover on a 2025R using my backhoe. I think a wider tractor would help on softer ground. Thanks for the great info as always.
I own a John Deere 4310 in the blustery foothills in Idaho, a few miles away from the edge of a windmill farm. The snow drifts here are epic, and am grateful for my green tractor with a meteor snowblower. My property is very hilly, so some wheel spacers would be great!
My everyday all purpose tractor is a John Deere 4052R. Snow removal, mowing pastures, tree clean up, gravel driveway maintenance, miscellaneous property upgrades and maintenance. I have been looking at getting a set of wheel spacers since not a single part of my acreage is flat. Also, if you want to know of another good tire, I put Alliance 550 tires on my tractor about a year ago. They are far superior for how I use my tractor over the factory R4 tires.
I have a Kubota L2501. This is my first winter with this. You have a lot of great tips. Even the obvious ones are good because I find myself forgetting them. I use my tractor in uneven ground so a set of wheel spacers would be a lifesaver.
I own a JD 3038E, a 2010 which I purchased new in Maine after coming home from military orders living overseas for 3 years. I use a Frontier SB 1154 snow blower rear mount. Great channel 👏
Proud owner of a 2019 1025r here! This channel is a large part of why I decided on a Deere.
I have a 1025r with the loader bucket and use that for almost everything around the farm
In the winter I use it for snow relocation and use edge tamers that help keep the stone on the driveway. Also back blade with a rubber blade. Keep the good information coming!
I have a John Deere 2038R I do from time to time feel uneasy about using my tractor on certain ground on my farm. Your videos really have helped me use my tractor more. Thanks!
I lived in Wisconsin for 15 years and moved 1,000 miles to get away from the harsh winters. Just got a 1025R in the Spring for my property in Georgia.
Owned a 1978 Kubota B7100 but just sold it and bought a new TYM T25. Love the videos; lots of good tips and information.
Thanks Courtney! I agree - Much better doing as much prep before it gets cold and snowy! All the best!
I have a 3025D. I have found these videos have helped me understand the ins and outs/ Dos and Don'ts of my tractor. Thank you for the information you share.
I’ve used a 1023e for the last 8 years in the northeast. Biggest challenge for me is the variation in the density of snow. A big storm with heavy snow is always a challenge when using a pusher, but bucket or blower works. Nice to have options!
We have a BX2360. We don't mow with it but the snow removal is great with a blower and a plow both front mount. What we can lift, like fire wood rounds is great to have. The biggest down side to the tractor is that it is a pin on bucket. I did add a tooth bar and that helps it to dig. Wheel spacers I feel would help a lot. Thank you for your videos.
I’m sure I’m ready for winter 😂😂
It’s funny how quickly winter returns thanks for the nudge!
I run a Yanmar SC2400 for my tractor. I have a belly mower, and rear mount snow blower, and a couple of other small attachment. It's been a life saver for all my projects.
I push snow on a 1500' paved driveway with my x728. I also push snow on about 2 miles of access trails for firewood access through the woods behind my house. I don't plow those trails down to earth, the packed snow makes for a smoother trail, and a smoother drag for logs. I have loaded tires on HDAP tires and put a rubber edge on the my blade. Keeps the asphalt clear as long as I get on it before driving over it. Much of the drive is through the woods, so, I like to keep it clean and let the sun melt it down bare.
Got myself a 1025R. Love my machine. Been watching you since I picked it up, keep up the great content. Never won anything. 🤞🏼here’s hoping.
I have a JD 1025R and your channel has been a great resource for a better tractor owning experience, thanks!
First, Congratulations on hitting 100,000+ subscribers. I tell everyone I know with a tractor about your channel, especially those of us 1st time newbies. My first and current tractor is a Mahindra 4550. I love the beast but it's bigger than I needed for only 2 acres so I do a lot of work for others with it (thanks for that video you posted about making money with the tractor and having someone else help pay for it 😀) so I can purchase my second tractor for the property. With all the helpful information I've learned on this channel my next tractor/toy will be a JD 1025E.
Again, thanks for all the great advice and keep up the Great Work!!!
I own a 2009 JD 2320. I mow with a 62D1 drive over deck. BORA Wheel spacers would improve my stability especially on the hills. Congrats on 100K. I was stationed at Wurtsmith AFB, near Oscoda MI several years ago, now live near Abilene, Texas.
I have a 1996 john deere 425. This is my first tractor ive ever owned and so far its been an absolute monster. Its my mower and I now have a snow blade for it, so Im real excited for winter
I have a new 2021 1025r. I have plowed snow for over 20 years and this year I am adding the 54" blower to the fleet. It will make opening up privet drives easier. thanks for your videos.
Kubota L4240....Not even sure I need spacers, but, ya never know. I run chains on the fronts on my tractor when plowing with a front blade. Makes ALL the difference! You have a great channel! Thanks!
I own a John Deere 1025r. Preparing for my 3rd winter and this was a great reminder I need to get prepared. Thanks again GWT

Hello Courtney. The winter prep tips are spot on. Here in New England we are starting to prep for winter and then just wait for the flakes to fly. My 2019 Deere 1025R did well last winter and I can only hope for the same this year. Thanks for sharing.
I have a TYM T264 .Your videos are helpful for all tractor manufactors and equipment.
JD 1025r with a Mauser cab. Definitely a nice feature on those windy cold winter days or nights.
I’ve got a 1025R and I’m trying to slowly restore parts of the family farm. Lots of hills make it interesting. The Bora well spacers would be so helpful and make it more safe. Especially when trying to remove snow from the driveway that runs up and down the hills from the road.
I have a Kioti CS 2520 and got it this summer to help with little jobs of moving dirt and logs. I mill some logs and also cut and split for firewood. I enjoy seeing some of the options out there for a tractor my size and learning some tips and tricks for owning a tractor in general. Always some good content on GWT!
I've owned alot of tractors but i currently own a 2018 1025R and i love your channel when it comes to new attachements for my tractor. keep up the good work.
Great video Courtney as always. I have stated in the past that you are partly the reason for my purchase of the 1025r that i have and enjoy using and the attachments and implements(that i get from gwt). The videos are informative, entertaining, and food for thaught. Have a great day and be safe!. Tim
My go-to tractor is a JohnDeere 2025R. I've had it about 3 months now using it regularly!
I been driving a John Deere 670 for 20 years now but plan on getting a 4R series snow cab when prices come back down from the covid high. Some day ... soon ... any day now ... I'm waiting ... this is taking forever!
Cheers!
I had wheel spacers on my BX2380 and they really made a difference. I now have a LX2610 with loaded tires, but I'd love to add spacers to this tractor. Your vedio provides a nice checklist for winter.
Just bought my 2032 John Deere started watching your show couple months before it’s helped a lot
3039R power reverser. Tar River grapple. John Deere 3rd function. Spee-Co quick hitch. R4 tires and 2.5 inch steel Bora wheel spacers (rear). Spacers completely changed the tractor on the hills. Highly recommended.
I love my JD 1025R. A set of wheel spacers would be a wonderful addition to my green machine!
I just sold my Ford Jubilee. I bought a new *this year* Kubota BX2380. I wanted something that both my wife and I can use. This works for snow and as a “powered wheelbarrow.” We use it for general gardening.
I have a Massey Ferguson 1723E with a Massey 2360 front-mount snowblower for winter here in Vermont. I learn something from every one of your videos!
I have a Mahindra 1635 35hp with a loader. I worked With Bora last year to select and install 4.5inch spacers which really helps the stability on the hills that is my property.
I had a 2016 Mahindra 1526 with no cab used mainly for snow removal and just bought a new Bobcat CT2035 which has a cab and a rear blower. Anxious to try it this winter. I like this channel, very informative.
I've got a Deere 4400 with chains and a Curtis cap and a snowblower in the winter. Great show.
Another great video! I have a 2021 1025r . This will be my first winter with the tractor. thanks for all the informational videos for all the new tractor owners!
Expecting my brand new JD 2025r next week, can’t wait ! Front Snowblower, backhoe, box blade, grapple… been watching pretty much all your video for last 2 weeks so I know the basic. Love your videos !
I have a JD 1025r and love it. My property is very hilly and my less careful stepfather has tipped the tractor over. Thankfully no damage to man or machine but we could really use those spacers!
I have a john deere 2038r. The information on your channel played a key role in my choosing this tractor model. Thank you.
Brand new to the tractor world! 2015 1025R with loader, 54” snowblower, pallet forks, and ballet box. Will be maintaining a half mile road to our house this winter.
First time tractor owner…purchased a kioti 2021 CX2510 HST w/R4 tires and loader, plus filled tires, 3rd function kit.
Frontline healthcare hero here. 1 more cut and the underbelly comes off the 1025r. I have clamps to keep the bucket off the driveway and I have a 105d with a 46" blade to scrape. Lake effect snowbelt is tough on gear.
I have a 2014 JD 2032R (Generation 1). I also have a 1954 JD50, but that's more of an ornament than a useful tractor. I'm talking a week off here in October for the annual seasonal change over of both equipment and outdoor items. I've started my own "honey do" list and am getting worried I won't have time to get to it all! Hopefully, I'll beat the snow, but living in northern MN, you never know!! This will be my second winter with the 2032R, but I really don't use it for snow removal. My walk-behind snow blower is still going, but maybe after that dies, I'll start using the tractor more.
I have a 2025r. Yard is very hilly so I'm always paying close attention not to tip. Have been very close before and don't want to experience that again! Thanks for this opportunity to win!
Leaving a comment for a slim chance of winning. Wheel spacers would be a nice addition for sure.
I have a John Deere 3120 and this year is the first winter I will be using it. Thanks for the great content in all your videos, they are very helpful.
I have a JD 3520. In winter I use chains on the rear only, and I steer with the brakes. Putting heavy chains on was a chore, until I figured an easy way to do it. I plow with a 3-pt grader blade, and cleanup with the bucket. Sometimes I wish I had a front blade.
I have just bought a John Deere 3025e and it is my first tractor for my first ranch of 360 acres.
Kubota B2650 with a cab. Live in Wyoming and the cab is worth its weight in gold in winter.
