I learn a lot from Tim too, but I also learn from you. You did a video on using the backhoe that really helped a lot. The advice of putting it in 4WD so the brakes stop all four wheels, how to use the outriggers to stabilize rather than lift the tractor. Really helpful advice. Thank you, and congrats on the grapple.
Nice demo of what a grapple can do, I love my grapple so handy for a lot of jobs around the yard, also shows how handy to have 2 tractors to do different jobs at the same time, as always nice video Tony. stay healthy my friend.
Brian, Thank you. I could have worked it hout after many hours with the small tractor, but having the large tractor made quick work of it. Have a great week. Tony
No, if anything I will get a backhoe for the T264. TYM Tractors is letting me Demo the T474 Tractor Loader Backhoe. It is a beast, and a man can always use two tractors.
Thats very impressive Tony. Rufus is pretty peppy, reminds me of a red roan work horse my dad used to have. He was "old school" and always had horses. The little red roan was his favorite. Wasn't very big but could pull just about anything a big horse could pull. Looking forward to part two. Stay dry and get your energy up, thats a lot of Oak tree to clean up.
Dean, Yes Sir! I am looking forward to using the grapple many times on my sawmill. I have so much planned right now, I don't have time to put it together right now. I am like a kid waiting on Christmas Day. Tony
Some nice tractors Tony! That big backhoe looks like it's got some speed to it! Now, That's a big tree to fell. Should be a good video!! Have a good week my friend!
Good evening WO 😊👍 Great tractors action and that grapple and backhoe was great to see also Keep up the good work and great camera operator !!! Cheers 👌😊👍
My grapple attachment has become one of my most used attachments. It has grappled out brush and down trees, moved chunks of concrete, bricks, and blocks, and used it to grapple and move old tractor attachments. One thing you might consider is fabricating a brush guard for the grill. I welded expanded metal across the brush guard that came with the tractor to help protect the radiator from the sticks/limps that try to get in there when you grappling.
I learned a good bit from this -- thanks! I've actually purchased a Brush Crusher (hydraulics-free grapple), and have played with it a little, but am still learning how to manipulate it. One issue for me is that I'm dumping brush into what has become a pretty huge burn pile, and the lower teeth aren't opening wide enough to drop the load because the loader is already so high when I release it. I know I have another level or two to adjust the back stop, so that's the next step. I'm getting the hang of it, and it sure is handy to have. Again, great job on the video -- liked and subscribed!
Tony Did you happen to have a ballast box instead of the tiller I tend to hit stuff with my back door of my tiller going backwards . I have made up a ballast box out of a 55 gallon plastic barrel and and it works great will not rust full of cement. Pick up two 7/8 pins from Tractor Supply welded a piece of angle iron in the center before adding cement about 800 lb. Also put two 3" PVC pipes to hold yard tools in cement to the bottom. I prefer the double grapple top
The Kukje engines are actually Cummins engines (fact check it). In 2002 Kukje partnered with Cummins to build engines for them. That’s why the Kukje engines are outstanding engines. I think you need a bigger tractor.
The 205 pound Worksaver grapple is a perfect match for the TYM T264 and smaller tractors. It is strong enough, but light enough to be useful. I see so many people go out and buy 400 pound grapples for their subcompact. They use all of their useful load on the weight of the grapple. Have a great week.
Tony's Tractor Adventure I couldn’t agree more! Yah a 250lb grapple would be about my limit for a sub-compact like the bx and I think that’s what the artillian grapple weighs.. I debated getting theirs as I also need a new set of pallet forks (got rid of my old set) though I havnt quite decided on which grapple I want yet. I’ll def check out the worksaver thanks!
I can change out most front mounted attachments in just a minute or two. Most rear implements can be changed out within 3 to 5 minutes depending on how complicated they are.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I apparently need to work on my speed. My tractor was delivered yesterday. It took much longer than that for me to swap out any of the implements. There were 2 guys delivering. They took the backhoe off - so I could use the bush hog - and it took them about 50 minutes - to only remove the backhoe. After seeing that - I do not want to know how long it takes to line it up - to get it back on. It would be great if you created some detailed videos - on hooking things up - and unhooking them.
I can take the backhoe in 5 minutes. I can put it back on in 5-7 minutes. I mean this in a humble way. Just because they delivered it doesn't make them operators. You will get better with time. You will learn tricks.
Thanks for the great content. We purchased this same model TYM after watching your videos! I am looking to get this grapple however I am having a really hard time finding it online for purchase. Could you provide a link to the exact model and where to purchase? Thanks!
Warren, check out www.homesteadimplements.com They offer free shipping and 6 colors to choose from. Made in USA. Save 5% with HANK5 or if you're a US veteran use USVET10 for 10% off. They are really good, strong Grapples.
There are many great brands out there other than Worksaver. Homestead implement makes a great one. I will get Hank to put a link for you and he can get you discount. Remember, lighter is better. The T264 is not big enough to damage most grapples. Homestead makes a great one out of super strong steal. ua-cam.com/video/qTi-9F7dIbM/v-deo.html
What model worksaver is it. Also I want a good grapple for picking up logs and loading on my sawmill. Would this type be good or is there one that would work better
I like you and your videos and have watched them most the day while I try to do computer work. You have convinced me I need a grapple. But I have to say, a simple hand axe around the base of that stubborn tree to cut the roots would have taken about 5 minutes of work before you just pulled it out of the ground with your tractor and a rope. How much total time did it take with your two tractors and three attachments to take it down?
You may not necessarily need to get one longer hose made. Perhaps a shorter one like an extension should work. It does mean another fitting but it should work.
They vanished! We have found a brand in TYM Tractors that we can get behind for the long term. TYM is a profitable company that will be around for years to come, and they stand behind their product. They are demonstrating tractors on our channel and letting us work them showing just what they are made of. We bought a TYM T264 because we liked it so much after we demo one on the channel. Have a great week.
This is not what I thought it was. Just got my third function installed and attached the grapple to my RK 55. I have no idea how to open or close the grapple. Nothing I do opens the grapple. In the process of that one of the grapple hoses just starts squirting out fluid so now I have to deal with that. .

Thank sir. Had a blast.
Nice job. Grapple did good and that area will look real nice when you're done.
Jason, I made every mistake in the book, but by the time this job was done, I had a good understanding of what it could do. Still much to learn.

I couldn't agree more. I love the forks, but as we use our sawmill, the grapple will become king.
Good job Tony. I enjoy your videos!
Thanks you my friend.
Another great video Tony, you sure make work look fun!
I love to work. My body is beat up, so using my tools keeps my work level up. Thank you for watching my friend

I never knew how fun a grapple on a tractor can be. It is like adding a thumb on a hand.

I am looking at a ballast box now. It should weigh around 900 pounds filled with concrete. I may make one.
The Kukje engines sure sounds nice, a grapple is next for my T474.
I am impressed with the torque and quietness of Kukje engine. They will be around for a long time. Tony
The Kukje engines are actually Cummins engines (fact check it).
In 2002 Kukje partnered with Cummins to build engines for them. That’s why the Kukje engines are outstanding engines.
I think you need a bigger tractor.
@@barrybills1449 It's big enough for my needs. Besides this was two years ago, lots has happened in attachments aquired for my TYM T474 since then.
Great channel content! I just sub'd 👍 I love my Mahindra 6075 with a grapple! I should have bought it much sooner!
Very nice job Tony that’s a beautiful grapple! Can’t wait to get mine this summer!

Worksaver did a great job engineering this grapple. It is rate up to a 50 hp tractor now and only weighs 205 pounds.
Tony's Tractor Adventure wow I guess so, a 200lb grapple rated up to a 50hp tractor.. it must be built well! Thanks for the info Tony.
Question: when you take the grapple off the tractor, where do you store it? Do you lay it down does it stay have a stand?
There are legs that pin up when not in uses. Pin them down and the grapple can be set on the ground on it own.
How long does it take you to change out all of those implements you used in this video.
I can change out most front mounted attachments in just a minute or two. Most rear implements can be changed out within 3 to 5 minutes depending on how complicated they are.

Each tree is different. You can pull and cut on a small tree for hours. Some trees come out in seconds. I am also against manual labor. 😃
You may not necessarily need to get one longer hose made. Perhaps a shorter one like an extension should work. It does mean another fitting but it should work.
The price of fittings is ridiculous now.

Thank you
I am sorry but,
First clear brush.
Get chainsaw, lay timber.
Clean up.
Work on remaining stumps& roots.
You got all the tools but there is no method.
Well, I appreciate your input. There is grass growing there now, so I guess I did OK.
