Welcome to the TX25 family! My TX25 is one state over. Summit’s paint code is 403218 and it’s called Lotus Green. I got that info from Summit directly. I assume you’re considering Summit’s grapple. If so, you’re going to love it. I’ve mentioned elsewhere that, in combination with the weight of...

I’m not sure if this is a fix related to your situation, but when my Summit’s loader arms appear misaligned I raise the loader all the way up to its maximum position. When I lower it to the ground the arms, and whatever I have attached, return to a more aligned position.

I’ve been using AirTec Li400 from AET Systems for the last year.

Thank you, @CJ4.

How’s it going with the TX25?

Call Summit. It’s a known issue if I’m reading your post correctly. There’s a metal guard or shield over the u-joint that spins directly below your feet underneath the footwell. Under certain circumstances the shield can come in contact with the u-joint and it makes an awful racket. Like...

A photo of your installed petcock would be helpful if you have time.

I’ve got about a year of use on an 18” Echo DCS-5000 and I really like it. Like others have said, sharp chains don’t care whether they’re gas or electric powered.

Congrats! Curious to see if it meets or exceeds your expectations in the weeks ahead.

Nicely done, @EdVanWie.

Inspired by the recent and obviously sincere “just asking questions” posts about Summit Tractors as an ongoing concern, I’m checking in to say I’ve got about 160 hours on the TX25 and all is well. I find a use for the tractor nearly every day and the TX25 continues to exceed expectations. Since...

I’ve got the Summit Tractors 54 inch SSQA grapple, made by Top Dog. It‘s been excellent. Summit’s also coming out with larger grapples soon. Mentioning it because it might be a grapple you can see in person before you buy it. Summit’s site has a list of big box dealers.

Yes. Those would will work. I grabbed these:

Very nice start to life with a TX25. Piney Grove barely scratched the surface of what the grapple is capable of. Future videos will likely show how much work it will pull from the excavator they’ve relied on.
