It covers specific implement specs (671-plus pounds, 206 spikes, 25 reversible tines), a quick-connect hitch demo under $400, and actual field technique, grading, blending soils, switching between scarifier tines and rollers. A two-month follow-up shot shows the finished lawn. Best for 2038R owners weighing this pulverizer for grading work.
Posted by the Bill Burkhart channel, who appears to be a hobbyist owner-operator using the tractor on personal and informal favor projects, not a dealer or commercial operator.
Yes. The pulverizer weighs about 700 pounds and the 2038R has roughly 1350 pounds of rear lift capacity, about twice the 1025, making it a good match.
Use the large I-beam to spread dirt, then run the double roller over it repeatedly to break it up, raising and lowering the lever to distribute dirt and fill low spots.
It lets you switch between multiple attachments quickly on a job with several implements, and the video demonstrates one that costs under $400.
The owner's manual says to grease it every ten hours.
