John Deere 1025r - plowing snow

Plowing the driveway with our John Deere 1025r equipped with a 54" quick hitch blade and hydraulic angling kit. It makes short work of plowing even in the deep snow and drifts. This season I also ran chains on the rear tires to help with traction.

Good video however, I was getting seasick from all the head bobbing. Gets pretty hard to watch. A chest mount would be much more stable. I am envious you have all that fun!

You're driving with your parking brake on...

Best plowing video on youtube, finlly someone who knows how to do it..

[@TheHighKirk]

Just a suggestion but a chest mount camera base would probably work better than the head mount. I used to big mountain ski a lot and was always a fan of the head mount but after seeing the stability of the video shot from a chest mount I'm thinking of trying to use the head mount as a camera harness for my cat somehow.

Hey nice job I own a 2016 John Deere x730 with a 54inch mower deck and 47inch Quik hitch snowblower and I love John Deere these tractors are power houses

I was plowing snow with my 1025R on the same day lol. It dumped a foot of snow here in south Kentucky which is virtually unheard of here. I had to use my FEL as needing a blade or snowblower is useless ( accept this time!). Anyhow enjoyed watching you work the 54" blade. These little tractors are worth every penny when you need them!

+JohnnyRebKy - We had around a foot whenever I started plowing. We ended up getting an additional 6-7 inches the next day. I stayed quite busy. Ended up plowing all of the neighbor's driveways. I screwed up a hydraulic fitting on the plow and ended up having to use the FEL for the last two driveways and it went a lot slower.

When push through heavy snow. Make a pass down your gutter lines first. Then move the snow in the middle to the outside. It will be a lot less with on both you and the machine.

[@sportshot2789]

Great idea. I can see an advantage to that. I always started in the middle.

Nice video, do you ever feel like you need tire chains? Are you using any kind of weight?

[@georgeturner8639]

want one

[@beeback4]

Love the way the blade mounts to the tractor. Nice job

[@noahschlueter9913]

La caméra fais défaut, la tête me tourne quand je regarde cette vidéo

[@handcannonowns]

I hope you let it warm up enough so the temperature gauge needel was reading or your going to have big repair bill

[@owmach1]

+handcannonowns - The tractor had been warming for about 10 minutes before I started plowing. The red light that's illuminated on the dash was the parking brake. It had frozen up.

[@miguelmarques2579]

think you would do a better job with a blower considering the room you have !! you can blow it all far enough and cleaner ! ;)

[@jameshall1691]

Thinking about getting a 1025R and can't decide on a snowblower instead of a plow your thoughts

[@AidenHubbsCRM]

get a 1025r TLB and a plow. worth it so if you need a backhoe or loader in summer you can have that as well.

[@jameshall1691]

+Aiden Hubbs why a plow and not a snowblower?

[@AidenHubbsCRM]

+James Hall I perferr plowing because I am used to a western plow on a F2-50 and I don't want my side yard were I park my equipment wet and muddy because my mower gets stuck so easy. plus my yard I mow 2 times a week to contain so.

[@MBTAMoreRailfan]

James Hall plow FTW

[@scottfurlong5475]

It's more efficient to plow snow then blow it but if you don't have room to plow it, you have to blow it.

[@tractormanx5954]

For that much plowing, you’re using the wrong tool!
