Clearing A Trail!! Tractors and Chainsaws!

Implements & attachments35–45 hpJohn Deere 2038R

Overview

This video follows a real trail-clearing job on a 12-acre wooded property, showing the John Deere 2038R and a modular grapple doing heavy brush and log work alongside chainsaws. The most useful moment is unscripted: a hydraulic hose failure mid-job prompts a practical comparison of single-clamp versus full grapple configurations. Best for owners curious about grapple real-world limits and improvising when equipment breaks down on-site.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator lifestyle channel focused on compact tractor projects, so the perspective is hands-on and hobbyist rather than dealer or manufacturer.
