I Bought a John Deere 1025R: First Impressions & Attachments

[@Aviator_207]

I ended up going with the TYM equivalent, just the tractor and loader with no addons. I have the industrial tires with no added weight anywhere on the tractor and have yet to get stuck. In 4 low these little tractors can go just about anywhere. If you plan to plow with the bucket, I would absolutely get some clamp on shoes. Even on pavement they are great because you can aggressively angle the bucket to cut through hardpack and ice without ruining your driveway surface or grass. I checked out these JD's and they are awesome machines, very impressive power for their size!

[@BLACKBEARCOUNTRY]

Nice video, really enjoyed your coverage and you made a great choice!

[@michaelmactavish4445]

we bought a kubota wich has skid steer quick attach plus its a 2 loader operation at once lift and dump same time

[@JohnDeereAdventure]

Great Video.. Thank you for sharing... Nothing runs like a Deer...!

[@MJF40]

Inside weights go on first, then pick up. Get the cart too. Nice grab 👍🏻

[@jeffreyammermann3247]

I love my 1025 with cab, loader and snow blower. Removing the loader is extremely easy. Putting on the snow blower was not bad at all either. Now I am just waiting to get some snow. I bought mine used with 380 hours on it.

[@mainelymedia]

Me too! Cant wait for some snow!

[@dewayneharrison2276]

HUGE upgrade. Very cool and excited to see you growing. Good luck

[@mainelymedia]

Thank you!

[@michaelmactavish4445]

we bought a kubota l4760 wich cost us $30,000 with loader,bucket,blower and blower because deere here are $82,900

[@fredcsensits4476]

Nice they finally went to the flat face connectors.But never mention the cost which is what I really wanted to know

[@AStanton1966]

If you're looking to get the rear tires "loaded" for ballast, check out foaming over beet juice. With the foam, you will never get a flat or have to worry about air pressure. You should of put that tractor in rabbit range and gave it "the beans."

[@skywatcherranchswr]

Well congratulations sir! You will view your sears tractors differently now lol. You did all the things right away, that took me years to do with my Kioti cx2510. Ballast is huge, that cab is huge for snow removal so your face doesn't freeze off, you got your attachments right away, I wish I had done that. Well done. This spring and summer I recommend a piranha tooth bar from Bxpanded. Helps a ton with dirt work. Looking forward to your future videos!

[@mainelymedia]

Thank you so much, I did all the research I could. I agree a tooth bar is in the works right now. I was told the same thing, but there’s so many options. I will look into that brand that you mentioned.

[@Jtwizzle]

Very nice! If that had A/C option it would be incredible for down south.

[@mainelymedia]

Yeah it really should be an option.

[@greggatto4023]

Nice tractor!! I have Brand new 2025R with Mauser Cab! HD 54in blower and 60 in mowing Deck. Cant wait to use it this winter. Should of went with the JD Quick Hitch. You can use all the weights.

[@joebarrett9830]

During the summer months, I removed my doors from the cab. I put eye hooks on the posts of my pole barn and used the door pins to hang them on the post. Store them right along the side of the wall of the pole barn. The engine heat will also enter the cab during winter and summer months. So during the summer, you want that heat to get out as quickly as possible otherwise you will cook in the cab with sun beating through the glass and heat from engine coming into the cab.

[@mainelymedia]

Wow yeah that’s a great idea. I’ll have to do the same thing for door storage!

[@joebarrett9830]

@@mainelymedia Don't forget to check out Tractor Time With Tim. He has started out with 1025R and has several tractors now. Many ideas, attachments, equipment for future things you might consider.

[@mainelymedia]

Yes! Just started watching him.

[@outdoorswithcorbs9231]

Love my heavy hitch

[@courchaine376]

Yeah I live by the John deer dealer u went to right on Minot ave

Nice!

[@leehyer4916]

I see you’re wearing a diesel Creek hoodie. Nice tractor little bit nice

[@mainelymedia]

Yes!

[@Huntersprojects]

Nice machine hope it does you well I just bought a 1990 Kubota B1750 that’s my new tractor haha hope to get a new one soon Like yours!

[@mainelymedia]

Nice!

[@courchaine376]

I just bought a tractor also Scott recoration in turner Maine I bought a t224 tym

[@kerry4951]

Just buy a couple Harbor Freight dolly carts to roll your attachments around. I have one or two under every attachment

[@mainelymedia]

That’s a good idea I’m probably going to do that!

[@frankwrogg2515]

Very nice, could have used that blower today in Wisconsin 😂😂

[@mainelymedia]

Nice, can’t wait to use it!

[@tomdehnert5867]

I have a 1025 r and I use a 400 lb plow and no cap have heavy hitch with eight 42 pounders and don’t have to use four wheel drive to often works great if your ever looking for best plow on market Minnesota implements floating or ridged plow he has videos on you tube.

[@mainelymedia]

Ok I will look into it.

[@jaybruns7771]

Got a 2020 2025 r with backhoe, 40 hours on it , flawless great tractor it’s for sale hit me up.

[@Northeast_Mainiac]

Looks like Union Maine

[@mainelymedia]

Nope I’m way south near N.H.

[@WB-iz6ot]

I have a Kubota BX23s and looking at the JD now 1025R with cab and snowblower again like I have now. How much out the door with all the extras minus your plow blade? My local dealer got a Nor Easter package with loader and snowblower tomorrow I plan talking about it to the dealer. But I do admit Ive had my BX for 3 years and absolutely love it and its been awesome for snow removal her in CT for me

[@mainelymedia]

Prices are different everywhere, and to be honest most tractors at this level are all basically the same. So if you really like your Kubota you might want stick with what you know. I just picked JD for the looks and how well known they are. If you pay under $40k you’re golden. My 1025r was $30k and the blower was $5,200 I believe.

[@frankwrogg2515]

I really would have expected them to install the blower options for what you spent, would they do what you want may be another question.

[@mainelymedia]

No no I told them not to, I wanted to install all that myself.

[@JohnBraman413]

get the tires filled for added weight.

[@mainelymedia]

Not a bad option, but I want to be able to remove weight as needed and that kind of weight can’t be removed as easy. The cab already weighs a lot so I don’t need more that can’t be removed.

[@loutoolguy2644]

IMHO you aren’t looking at this correctly. You want your tires loaded first because there is no transaxle stress. You will not be removing rear ballast like you think. I put 880lbs in a smaller tractor and leave it. The lower the weight the better. You are going to have a blast with your new 1025R

[@mainelymedia]

Again I want to be able to remove the weight for different applications. The tractor is heavy enough and leaves massive ruts in the yard. If i get the tires filled I cant remove that weight. For what Im doing I don't need no where near 800lbs on there. The 500lbs thats removable is plenty for what I'm doing currently.

[@Mac210.]

Very nice tractor. A friend of mine had a 1023e that he felt was a good tractor.

[@mainelymedia]

Thank you!

[@kw900lkevin]

did you get factory service manuals

[@mainelymedia]

I did!

[@Wazup4177]

Nice ride, congratulations. Your salesman seems clueless.

[@mainelymedia]

He wasn’t my salesman luckily, but they are never knowledgeable enough.

[@aaronakers3115]

How much was the total price including all attachments?

[@mainelymedia]

As of the date this was posted it was $40k all said and done out the door.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

cost us $30,000 for a new kubota l4760 a 48.5hp cab tractor with loader with skid steerquick attach loader,bucket,forks and snowblower and trailer package wich pretty cheap deal deere here in canada at dealer here are $82,900 wich was rediculas for a cab 1025 with no attachchments

[@davidtownsend4549]

You could get an LS or Kioti with the same options or better for 10G less....just saying.

[@mainelymedia]

Yeah I did look into them, but I just liked the JD better. To me spending the extra $10k was worth it. Also if I ever had to sell it for whatever reason they hold their value a little better than other brands.

[@JohnBraman413]

what tires did you get? versa turfs are great tires and good traction.

[@mainelymedia]

They are the Carlisle Versa Turf tires. I heard they’re the best for on and off road.

[@courchaine376]

Also my mechanic Business

[@courchaine376]

Hey love the video I have a channel too I'm from Auburn Maine

[@xlargetophat]

Single point is a dealer add-on? Or normal now

[@mainelymedia]

At my dealership it was. I definitely think it should be a standard option.

[@xlargetophat]

@mainelymedia is it for releasing the bucket easier? Would I need it if I just leave my bucket on all the time? Why do you need it?

[@mainelymedia]

Yes it’s only a good option if you’re removing your loader often. If you never take it off then there’s no need to get it.

[@SYCKNTWISTED]

Does this have AC also?

[@mainelymedia]

No unfortunately, it’s halfway there though. I really feel like it should.

[@mikeboehne4027]

966 lbs with cab

[@yolala100]

Wrong, the heater works with the coolant, there is two hoses, one on both side of the cab, left and right side of the windshield

[@mainelymedia]

Yes, I figured that out. Weird how the people that work there don’t even know that?!?

[@yolala100]

@@mainelymedia Yes I know, I say that in your video, no no it's electric hahahahahaha

[@allneatstuff]

Be careful adjusting brakes a brake job is 4,000. Wet brakes.

[@Patsfan38]

Buy a new tractor and they didn’t not set up the snowblower so it’s ready to go. I don’t think that’s good customer service.

[@mainelymedia]

No I asked them not too. I wanted to do it myself.

[@mikezahnow1605]

A little to big, lol. You can never have to big of tractor. Good luck with the 1025r. I traded mine off for a bigger Kubota. 1025r is a piece of junk.
