Tractor Time With Chiefforlife -

Alright, I stole it from Tim.

I just bought a new John Deere 1025R with the Back Hoe, Snow Plow, Forks and Brush Hog. Comes with the Bucket too.

This may be the coolest thing Ive ever owned. Been playing with it the last couple of days, watching TTWT is awesome and I know a bunch of you guys are Tractor experts!

Thought we could share some Tractor stories, tips and attachments?

I'd like to borrow that tractor for a couple weeks if you don't mind.

Tractors are cool.

That sounds sweet. Wish I was better at operating a backhoe.
I had my neighbors mini-backhoe at my house for a week as he was letting me use it for a field stone retaining wall. I was so slow it was re-runned.
But at least I know the basics now.

I bought a 1025R in December 2018. Got a Mower Deck, Snow Plow, and a Tiller. I did purchase a spreader the following fall for putting down ice melt on my lane in the winter time. I also had a Mauser Cab with heater installed for the snow plowing during cooler temperatures. Cab can be a little warm in the summer, but the front and rear windows easily lift up to make things more comfortable. If you have a cab or decide to add one do not lift the loader and bucket to high with the window open. I found that out the hard way. I do not regret the purchase at all as it has been a huge help in maintaining my property. Congratulations on the purchase!

I think your tractors sexy

I really LUVZ dem HOES!!

Is that Buehler?

It comes with a black hoe? That sounds pretty racist to me.

*edit*

I have an older case tractor with a loader and finishing mower, it does pretty good

Had a bunch of Flagstone, retaining wall bricks and other bricks on pallets in the back. Of course it was right where I wanted to build a shed.
The fork lift made it so damn easy I am going to start putting everything on pallets!!

Then i figured I would level the ground where the shed is going. Put the bucket back on and proceeded to make the ground much worse!

Thats a lot harder than it looks? Ha!

Started to get the hang of it though and had so much fun, you really feel like you are a bad ass with this thing. Then it started pouring rain of course so later today Ill see what other damage I can do.

Great tip on the Cab glass! I could easily see myself doing that. LOL

I want to get more accessories/ attachments!! What are some good ones?

The ground leveling thing can be tricky, it's easiest to tilt the bucket and do it in reverse from what I've found

100% Yes!

I did eventually figure this out. I should have spent more time on you tube. LOL

Buckets are for moving dirt a blade is for smoothing and leveling. Well in the construction road building world anyway.
