Jeff installs Taskmaster grab-handle plates onto a stock 1025R bucket (drilling, clamping, bolting), then tests pulling a cottonwood tree with the 1025R and a heavier 4310 for comparison. It's useful mainly for owners specifically considering this bucket accessory, not for general 1025R buying research.
Posted by JU Fabworks Custom Tractor Accessories, the company selling the plates, so expect a product-installation demo rather than an independent review.
Place the plates on the bucket, push them to the edge with the lip tight against the bucket, clamp with C-clamps, then drill holes and bolt them on with grade eight, half-inch bolts.
No, the 1025R, about 2,000 pounds with a loader, could not move the cottonwood tree at all in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
They fit the 53-inch standard duty bucket that comes on the 1025R and many other tractors.
