Take THAT, Naysayers! Subcompact Tractor Vs. Monster Limb

Implements & attachments25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

This video centers on a specific challenge: using a subcompact John Deere 1025R with a grapple to wrestle a large, awkward tree limb, stuck at both ends, and haul it to a fire. It's a real-task clip rather than a feature walkthrough, showing practical grapple maneuvering in tight, messy conditions. Best for 1025R owners curious whether a subcompact can actually handle heavy brush work.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, explicitly framing itself as enthusiast-led rather than expert-driven.
