Tim revisits two specific loader detach procedures (JD 1025R and Kubota BX), confirms a $65 BX bucket-level-indicator option he'd missed, and takes a series of tape-measure readings on loader reach and hinge-pin distances at both low and full height. Useful if you've followed this comparison series and want the corrected details.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel run by a hobbyist who openly acknowledges learning from commenters, so expect candid self-correction rather than expert authority or dealer sales framing.
Use the curl function instead of the lift function to remove the loader pins, since lifting the front wheels can bend the parking stand. You still need a little lift at the end to clear the bar.
Yes, there is a bucket level indicator rod available for about $65, which the presenter initially did not know existed and recommends getting.
The 1025R measures about 67 to 70 inches from hinge pin to bucket tip, while the BX measures about 39.5 inches, giving the BX roughly six more inches of reach over a truck.
Put the tractor into neutral and let the loader parking stand push the tractor back slightly, since the stand will push backward and the bucket forward regardless.
