CHEAP DIY Diesel Fuel Storage, Deere 1025R Heavy Lifter

Operation25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A casual owner-project video where Tim and Christy use their 1025R, with forks and backhoe, to relocate a secondhand 150-gallon diesel tank, grade a gravel pad, and spread crushed stone around their shed. It touches on fork-sliding technique, backhoe throttle behavior, a 260 backhoe outrigger comparison, and hand-pump basics. Best for 1025R owners curious about real-world property work rather than shoppers evaluating the tractor.

An owner-operator channel where Tim and his wife document their own ongoing property projects in a conversational, family-included style.
