Overview
This video tests three implements simultaneously on a 1025R during a real fence-row cleanup: the Precision MFG Mini Clip tree shear (~$5,000), a pallet-fork add-a-grapple (~$700 with coupon), and a stump grinder. It honestly documents the 1025R's hydraulic pressure shortfall (2,000-2,100 PSI vs. the Mini Clip's 2,500 PSI requirement) and flags that a 2038R would handle it better. Best for anyone researching the Mini Clip or budget grapple alternatives.
