I installed a WR Long 3rd function about a year ago. Everything works as it should, but I think I would have been equally satisfied with a Summit Hydraulics Diverter kit.

Torvy, I'm under the impression that "nature" would be wind storms, trees falling on insured property, hail damage, etc. Things like that. I don't think they regard rodent damage as nature. If you get a chance, how about ask your insurance agent, and/or check your homeowners policy. I know...

I'd like to know what insurance company regards mice damage as vandalism. AFAIK, mice, rats, and squirrel damage is not covered, as they are rodents, which are specifically excluded in many/most insurance policies.

Don't know if you've seen this, but it's definitely worth watching. I've had my 2032R for only 2 years, but have done a lot of work with it. Don't under-estimate the 2 series; they underwent a major upgrade back in 2017, when John Deere came out with the Gen 2 series 2R's. head to head...

Never happens, Pressure cannot build up, as the piston in the grapple cylinder would move as fluid expands, and never be high enough to matter.

This is exactly what I did after having the problem, when I first bought my grapple. Easy fix, and has never been a problem since.

My post was not directed at you. I quoted it to the previous poster, since it seems you have found that worked for you, same as me. I have not run into a situation where the implement's lines, connected together, allowed hydraulic pressure build-up that would prevent me from normal connector...

Did you read the last part of my previous post? Or WinterDeere's post, just above this one? As I said, I have never had the problem since I've been connecting an implement's M/F lines TO EACH OTHER.

I just don't understand why the people having all these problems with connecting their grapple, don't simply shut off the engine, cycle the joystick once, and (key ON, engine OFF) cycle the grapple control once. That is all I do, and that eliminates pressurized fittings. As far as the sun...

Yet what you are considering doing (selling the tractor you know and very much like), and buying an SOB (some other brand) tractor, which you may not be so lucky with it's reliability, is not practical. To me, you're throwing money away on the off-chance that later, you will have a big problem...

I would email Ken, and ask if he can fit one up for you. I think he can, as he has other size hydraulic connects. If not, buy the gauge (Ken or Amazon), a hydraulic hose and the required fitting at TS, Amazon or local shop, and make one up yourself.

Check your local heating oil suppliers. They sell off-road diesel (the same fuel as home heating oil), for the same price of whatever their HH oil is priced.

This is interesting.. I have the JD app installed, and I have a 2019 2032R. So I searched for 1209.3. It returns "No Matching Results". So does this app only show results for codes that my (or your) particular tractor displayed? It appears that you cannot search codes that show up on other...

I would say it is probably too much tiller for that tractor. I think a 48" is more the right size for a 25hp (remembering that your 25hp tractor does not have 25 hp rating for the PTO). You might get away with a 60", but in ground that's never been roto-tilled, it would be under-powered, IMO.

Nice trailer. I like. (y) (y)
