Hairy Bushes! Subcompact Tractor & Forks Make it EASY! John Deere 1025R

Implements & attachments25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A real-world bush-removal job using a John Deere 1025R with pallet forks and a chain, no grapple, which is actually the point. Tim works through two techniques (chaining vs. digging with forks) in real time, shares a practical tip on keeping the loader low for maximum strength, and briefly touches on charging for this type of work. Best for subcompact owners curious about what forks can do beyond moving pallets.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, presenting itself as enthusiast-driven rather than expert or dealer-affiliated.
