A trip to Florida for F1 Miami
Learned last year that my wife was obsessed with F1 racing, so we decided to head down to Miami to watch our first race. Even though Im not into motorsports it was quite an event!

@28:30 ... "now it has a graphical interface" ... I started using Linux in the mid 1990's. It had a graphical interface then, FVWM. Been using it almost daily since then at home and at work. I'm now 20 years retired, just starting to learn JMRI. xFig was the killer app that caused me to switch from MS Word and Windows 3.1. My daughter built her own computer and installed Linux on it when she went to college a long time ago. FVWM is still around, so is xFig. You should not have any trouble using Linux.
Whats going on here?
Very helpful.
Waooow beautiful
Nice
Do you want to sell it 😢
Make an offer!
I drove by today….are you still in operation?
I'm not aware if it is, I haven't seen it run in some time
Isn't that the way it always goes? I've only had to run my blower van once this winter and unfortunately it's hard to test out snow equipment if you don't have snow. We haven't had much snow up here in Sask, Canada this year, but the big snow storm we had last month gave me 3 plus feet of snow and drifts to play in. Now it's April and I don't mind the green grass...lol. Great video and we'll see you in the next one.
Tell me about it! Got it back on though just in time for a 40" storm a few days after this was filmed. All gone now though 5 days later.

I don’t have a cab but it would be nice, thanks for sharing
It makes everything so much nicer in the winter!
Nice layout wish i was there to take pictures & videos. Great job. 👍🛤️🛤️🏗️🏭🏬🏪🏠🏙️
I see you have a deflector control, what do you use? I have been thinking of adding one to my jd54 for years now but don't want to buy something that won't hold up to Maine winters. Thanks
I'll get you the name off of it. I came with the blower when I got it so I don't know off the top of my head. I have it wired to a rocker switch in the right side console
I think I hear lots of rocks being launched into the yards. I raised mine up about an inch and had far less rocks to pick out of the grass in the spring.
There is. It's up about as high as it can go right now but we've had such a warm winter that the gravel driveway has yet to freeze, so lots of rocks abound unfortunately.
Do you miss not having your loader for other tasks? That’s the only thing holding me back from a front mount blower because I find myself using my forks ALL the time to unload and move stuff throughout the winter.
Not at all. I only needed the loader in the winter to knock down the banks, which the loader made. With the blower shooting it out it is not needed. To put the loader back on from the front blower incase I want to use my forks, or the bucket it takes about 20min to take the blower off and get the loader back on.
Thanks for the video! Not many informational videos about the 2025R. So your rear 2 1/2 inch wheel spacers work with your mower deck? I have seen other videos where people are using less than 2 inch spacers to be compatible.
John, exactly why, I trying to get more videos out there as I had found there aren't many. Yes the 2.5" work fine with my deck, I have the 54D, and no issues. Ian
I just put 4 inch spacers on the back today and with a lot of undulating hills and it's nice but I also removed my mower deck to stay off and noticed that same bent part I guess it was because I had the loader arm still on and forgot to raise it up enough lol
Yeah that arm will get you every time if you don't raise it enough! I bent mine back with some vice grips and it's all good now!
NKAWTAG, nobody!
Hi beloved owner of this channel. Im a professional search engine optimization in youtube.I visited and analized your channel. You already 292 videos but your subscribers is 878 . Your video cnnot gain more views Because your videos is not reach in viewers and seo level is so poor also have some technical problem. Thats why your videos cannot get more view and subscriber. Need it solve urgently. If you want i will help you to grow. Thank you.
How u didn’t rip that off the side of the house is beyond me! 😬 I just found your channel, and I, like yourself, traded my 1025r in for a 2025r. I love it but wish I had gone to 2032 at a minimum. Most of the work I completed with my 1025r so now I don’t use the 2025r as much. 🤷🏾♂️ Glad to see you putting yours to great use!
Luckily the elbow was the weak point! 😆 I'm loving my 2025R. I was looking for a 2038R but I only wanted one machine for mowing and the 2038R turned out to be a tad too big for the trees along my front yard wall. The 2025R is definitely getting a work out though and now it's in snow mode!
Oh noooo, where have the chickens gone?? 😞
They are back!
Seems I also talk with you on FB Guy M. My neighbor mechanic installed the Summit mount on the bucket mast and it seemed ok till I put the Curtis cab on (1025r) and the problem was with the hoses. I had given him a plate to make the mount like yours and Tom's, so I ended up doing that part myself. Still have to get some of the hoses he didn't use as two loop over the top hit and close the windshield, need to loop them under the diverter. And for anyone reading this the plate size is 7.5" by 5" . Thanks for the follow up video.
Been meaning to get one out for ya but things have been pretty hectic at work. I'm going to change up the hoses getting 2 of the original JD hoses recrimped as the kit hoses just aren't the best. They get all tangled and are stiff when I take the loader off. Supposed to be nice out tomorrow, sonl maybe I'll try and shoot it
How did the jd joystick turn out. What model is it? Do you have the link?
Vendo esa misma campana...
That's a nice upgrade. Looks sturdy and will do a good job.
Ross, I really like it. Well worth the $ in my eyes. Less apt to get something caught now.
Great job. This is the video I was looking for.
Had the Advantage Cab installed on my 2025R this past week ... For the money, I'm disappointed. For starters, the doors while metal are not rigid; they flex when opened/closed and do not fit as tight as they should when closed. Thicker sheet metal and/or strategically placed reinforcements should have been included in the design. The door windows are one-piece; they do not have a pane that slides open as did the less-expensive Curtis cabs on my Deere X758 and X585. The doors do not have pneumatic pistons to hold them open, as did the less-expensive Curtis cabs on my Deere X758 and X585. The amount of glass used to provide visibility from inside the cab is unacceptable; I'm constantly struggling to see things around the outside of the tractor while in-use and have been forced into guess-ti-mates based on what I am able to see. There are a couple of other annoyances but I must say, if I had to do it over again, I would not purchase the Advantage cab.
Good to know Richard. I was not aware of how light duty those doors were. I had been looking at building my own as I know the mid range doors I would just beat to crap and rip the vinal real quick for the price.
I'm about to install the Summit Diverter kit on my 2023 1025r also, and have seen and talked online (FB) with a guy who also made that same mounting plate, What I was hoping to see in your video was how you connected the hoses to the SP?
I'll get some video of it for you and post it this week. How I have it is not finalized, it works but I'd like to make it neater and will most likely recrimp two of the Parker hoses from the SP so that it has the 90 degree JST fittings that go to the valve body as the Summit hoses are just so stiff.
Looking forward to it, Thanks for the quick reply!@@minutemanmac

Do you still run speeders on the mountain division? I've always wanted to, and heard recently that MaineDOT filed an application to remove rails. Who knows it it would actually happen, but I would love to connect with someone in the railroad motorcar hobby and ride this line before it goes away.
Yes we do. And no application has been filed. It's just talk at this time
@@minutemanmac thanks for the response! I saw you provided your email on your channel homepage and sent you a message.
I would brace/gusset that horizontal holder arms from the pin frame to the dethatcher. That is a lot of moment arm on those two tiny horizontal pieces of angle iron.
It's a copy of Deere's, they don't have it and I don't see the need for it
I'm looking to swap a 300 inline 6 into my A6 that has a trashed 302 v8 in it right now. How is the clearance between the front axle and the oil pan on yours?
Not much there, when I get back from this project in VT I'll try and take a measurement for you

Thes is amazing to look at take to big truck on same time you see the power in the big truck hew its wild and crazy to hard to belive
I've never see a Curtis Cab installation video. I appreciate you putting it together. Looking forward to subscribing and following more of your content. I went to the Transportation Museum in St. Louis last year. Really enjoyed it! Might throw a video together at some point. Got a lot of other content to catch up on. Take care, and have a great 4th! - Samuel
Thanks! Lots more coming up!
Is there any space on the inside of the wall of the bed? I have Molle panels on the inside of the truck bed, I’m just wondering if I can keep them or I would have to remove it.
You'd have to remove it was it fits right up to the side walls. I was looking at adding the quick lock fuel containers as well but they won't fit unfortunately.
@@minutemanmac oh ok. Thanks for your response!
