2022 John Deere 2025R Tractor Review and Walkaround

[@OgleBilly]

I’ve got a 2019 2025R. Cut grass, push snow, core aerate, fertilize,drag firewood logs, best money I’ve ever spent…..

[@WesternEquipment]

Love hearing this and thanks for watching!

[@nicholassmith3899]

Can you put the 70 inch mower deck on this model?

[@jdfleetguy28]

The 2025R is my favorite Deere Subcompact. Great video ! I think there is actually 3 tire choices unless something changed very recently. R4 R3 bias ply and R3 Hybrid turf radial. The turf radial is Galaxy Garden pro. Just in case anyone is confused the 2025R shares its engine and has a stretched version of the 1025Rs frame, Which is why it uses the same loader as the 1025R . The frame is stretched to allow for those bigger tires and still accommodate a mid mount mower. Deere brochure actually calls the 2025R a sub compact. The 2025R a totally different tractor then the large frame 2032/38R . IN my opinion the 2025R is the best subcompact tractor on the market today.

very greatt info!! my ag sale kiddos will definitly benefit from your information!!

[@StuartSymes]

great information- the coweta ffa ag chapter!!!

[@EvilMerlin]

Thanks for the video. I've had my 2025R now for 4 weeks. Yep, I know the Kubota is cheaper. But here in Hawai'i on Big Island, the wait time on a Kubota B series is over 18 months IF they can get it at all. So I couldn't really do that. No one sells the blue tractors on the island, and the Red stuff is not well managed by the one dealer here. So Pepe Machinery it was. I ordered it on a Monday and they had the 2025R and 1025R in stock. I went with the 2025R mostly for the larger tires/wheels and the heavier weight as my farm has several steep hills. After using it around the farm, the drive over deck (I went with the 60" ride over) is mostly only good for lawns. Cutting fields, especially here at 2700 feet, is a lost cause, the tractor simply cannot provide enough power to cut it with the deck. I'm still waiting for a RC2060 to fix that issue. I've been able to fix the road, fix some of the over growth in the front yard, and cut back a lot of the crap on the side yards. Maybe if Kubota had some way of getting the BX on Island in a reasonable timeframe I would have done something different, but Hawai'i brings a whole other level of difficulty to the tractor world. All in all I am quite happy with it. I've put almost 12 hours on it thus far and will put more on it once the wet ground dries a little more.

[@WesternEquipment]

Glad to hear you are liking your machine. Thanks for watching!

[@EugeneCapeder]

Well done Brett - appreciate your attention to details, as well as your remarkable skill sets.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@timenloe3846]

I enjoy your reviews! I have a 6.3-acre farm. About 4 acres is pasture / yard. I am slowly replacing fencing via a post hole digger. Thus, I am considering either a 1025r or 2025r for cutting / auger. Where I am concerned is if the 1025r can utilize an augur properly due to its smaller size. Any suggestions you can provide would be appreciated.

[@WesternEquipment]

I would look into the exact auger you are wanting to get and see what horsepower and weight the manufacturer suggests for optimal use.

[@keithferguson4942]

My favorite John Deere 2025r tractor like them so much and I am looking into getting another one with Factory heated cab

[@WesternEquipment]

Awesome! I hope you get it, good luck!

[@HighLeeCoyote]

Very educational. Thanks for making this available.

[@elis51501]

I bought the 2022 1025R and looking back they appear identical other then a bit of a larger size in the 2 series, I wish I would’ve bought the 2 series just for the size increase

[@WesternEquipment]

You are not alone here. I have heard of others having the exact same buyer's remorse. Do you think this is a situation where if a salesman would have shown you this option you would have went with the 2025R?

[@garygatto3410]

Thank you very informative I’m getting ready to buy

[@WesternEquipment]

I am glad I could help!

[@dave434]

Been looking hard at a used 2014 model 2025r 135 hr. Looks to be in EC other then hood is dented it has loader and mower deck. Asking 16250.00. I like the bigger tires on it versus the used 1025r I am also looking at also EC low hrs well maintained asking 16K. Really liked your video here on it . The 1025r will do all I need to do here, but for nearly same $$ seems I would be getting lot more tractor for the money. Appreciate any advice you on it. Thanks!

[@jamess3532]

I'm considering this tractor for my first tractor. I have a gravel road and driveway I need to maintain and would be using this for spreading gravel after winter and plowing snow. Would someone comment on the durability of this tractor?

[@WesternEquipment]

I have heard nothing but good things on this tractor but I will be following this thread to see what others have to say.

[@manueljr.delafuente6753]

Brett can you do a video how to adjust steering on zero turn mower. When mower is tracking to one side.

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes, I will add this to the list. Thanks for watching!

[@dirtguy6537]

Good looking tractor someday hope to get one.

[@WesternEquipment]

I agree. If I needed a little tractor I would have a 2 series as well. Thanks for watching!

[@raymonddargie6594]

Great review and good looking and well designed tractor.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and I agree!

[@chrisjimerson8790]

will this tractor shut off if you leave the seat

[@DR-UTAH]

I have wanted one of these for so long now. Maybe one day I will get one it would help me so much. Grey video by the way

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@richcreager7877]

Ain't nothing but a payment lol Go get it, life is short. I've never used one of these compacts till this past weekend when I used my brother in laws 2038 R. Definitely beats a shovel. I'm leaning toward the 2025 R myself

[@StuartSymes]

the video was grey????

[@StuartSymes]

i saw color!! lol

[@duanehamdorf2228]

I wanted to get one but when they put the same loader on it that i have on my 1023e i said forget it. Older 2025 models were alot more tractor. Off to kubota i go.

[@WesternEquipment]

Well I hate to hear this but let me know how the Kubota works out for you.

[@jaycooper1826]

Don't do it I got one and regret it

[@chad478]

Great video, thank you for educating us on this unit and all its features. Sold me on it!

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and I am glad I could help you get into a Deere!

[@randalmiddleton8068]

I think you forgot to mention the pull out screen in front of the radiator ?

[@randalmiddleton8068]

Oh by the way... my 2018 2025R has 976hrs on it. Only had to replace "one" short hyd hose for the bucket curl. It's been a great tractor for my 15 acres. And I'll add that the AV20F grapple had been fantastic!!!

[@WesternEquipment]

Thanks for pointing that out and I'm glad you are enjoying your tractor.

[@hummervee3395]

Great information. Thanks

[@davidlinux]

Very well done. Thank you. 😊

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@chrisjimerson8790]

how much dose these bucket hold up to

[@WesternEquipment]

553 lbs at full height. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisjimerson8790]

@@WesternEquipment i would use it to go out and hunt armadillos and gathering them and put them in the bucket loader and once its full then ill dump them in the 2 utility carts and once they are full then i count down how many i got and put them in the hoppers right to left

[@nicholassmith3899]

Can you put a 70 inch deck on this tractor?

[@WesternEquipment]

Unfortunately it is only set up for the 54" and 60".

[@stephendemyer5829]

great info. thank you.

Well done, as always.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@GG-sj2wg]

Stick with the 2025R. I had a 2032R and it had more power than metal. It would bend itself way too easily. Just my experience. “Actual mileage may differ!”

[@onegoodturngetsmostofthebl7499]

You’re not going to have. You have!

[@MrJohndeere3720]

now i want one..lol

[@WesternEquipment]

That's good though! Thanks for watching!

[@roberthale8407]

Nice, no DPF and no commonrail injection.

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes! Thanks for watching!

[@MJF40]

[@WesternEquipment]

Thanks for watching!

[@BigDaddyAddyMS]

I hate when dealerships call these “reviews”. It’s a promo, not a review. Lol

[@WesternEquipment]

Review is hard word since it can be used in different ways.

[@BryonyDarrow]

Perhaps we can compromise on it being called an overview!

[@catz-media]

Now list price is 29k

[@WesternEquipment]

Thanks for the update!

[@Spitzer3964]

Now it’s 32k 😂

[@peppilappu]

DO NOT BUY MADE IN CHINA!!!!! After a year parts are falling off due to not tightened right at the factory. JD uses Kubota tranny now. Height limiter on the 60" belly mower will wear out due to cheap extruded aluminum. My 2005 JD 2210 was built MUCH better and lasted 18 years. This one is a little over a year old and falling apart. JD does NOT care and will not warranty anything past 1 year.

[@justsomeguy--]

I understand this video is a year old, BUT, reviews are done by consumers, sales pitch is done by equipment seller.

[@projectswithjw]

The loader lift capacity is pathetic. Deere should be embarrassed.

[@WesternEquipment]

I have heard this a few times. Thanks for watching!

[@jaycooper1826]

Kubota isn't no better I'm going back to Deere, I had 1025 r and went up in size to a b2300 Kubota and the 1025 would out work it and was smoother. If you get Kubota get ready for slow hydrologic system and not being able to stop box blade on the way up it goes all the way up and you stop it on the way down, it was all the 2300 could do to handle small gravel in the loader. Lights and blinkers never work, blades on mower deck don't turn fast enough. I owned both and Deere was just better. These compact tractors are made for light work and yard chores not heavy moving up high

[@rodneynielsen1442]

"Power searing" What's special about that. Every tractor made today has power shearing....

[@anthonyr5869]

Alot of plastic…..

[@Spitzer3964]

You should research it. There’s actually a lot of advantages.
