It honestly documents the 1025R's hydraulic pressure shortfall (2,000-2,100 PSI vs. the Mini Clip's 2,500 PSI requirement) and flags that a 2038R would handle it better. Best for anyone researching the Mini Clip or budget grapple alternatives.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and homestead projects, though this video promotes affiliate/sponsor links with a discount code, so expect some product enthusiasm alongside the hands-on testing.
It can cut smaller trees but lacks hydraulic pressure, running 2000-2100 PSI versus the 2500 PSI the Mini Clip requires, so it can't fully clamp larger trees.
It is rated at seven inches and the jaw physically won't open wider than that, though the cutting edge is about a quarter inch thick and not very sharp.
It attaches to any pallet fork frame using existing forks, costs about five hundred dollars with a coupon plus a diverter kit, totaling around seven hundred dollars.
Yes, the video states a bigger tractor like the 2038R could clamp the Mini Clip's jaws without problem, unlike the 1025R.
