John Deere 1025r vs 2025r vs 2038r Tractor Comparison: 1 Series vs Small 2 vs Large 2 Series

[@DougAlesUSA]

I find value in your side by side videos. Thank you for making them.

[@johnholdsworth7191]

I have to agree that the side by side presentation was awesome. I have read all I could and worn out the individual sales material bit I got more out of this short video than all my other research combined. Nice job!

[@belindakt]

Awww, Rosie is a cutie! Super comparison, all lined up side by side, where the differences can actually be seen. Very nicely done, thank you...

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you once again Belinda!

[@12jeeplover]

That was one of the best physical comparisons between these tractors. The JD videos all show them doing cool stuff but never just a side by side look at them. Thank you.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you very much!

[@jaypreddy8185]

I bought a 2017 2032R. Super machine. My biggest critiques are the hydraulic connections and the fuel cap. I wish they would have added a little more space between the connectors and added a tab collar on the release connectors. It can be really hard to fit your fingers in that small space and push at the same time to release the connection. Plus, there is always a certain amount of pressure in the hydraulics no matter how much you bleed it with the controller. Having a tab would help out tremendously because it gives you something to push against to help disconnect the hydraulic line. Also, I run with my ROPS down. In this position, the ROPS comes in contact with the cap. If they would have angled the cap out more, this would be avoided. Great vid.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Great information, thanks for taking the time to share.

[@chiefkyle1098]

1025r is the AR15 of tractors.

[@kbar1590]

Guy knows his green. Good job and thank you for the uninflated comparison.

[@davidr3246]

That’s the comparison we’ve been waiting for. All 3 look like awesome machines!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yes, they are all unbelievably nice pieces of equipment.

[@prairiecreekfarm922]

Thank you for making these videos I’ve watched a lot of them today as I just had 8 teeth pulled today thank you again

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Ouch! Hope you heal up quickly!

[@rp1645]

I Love the Design of the FRONT Bucket. It looks just like my BIG bucket on my 1978 Dynahoe-190. The difference with my bucket is having a HOOK welder in the top/ middle of my front bucket. I believe the previous OWNERS put that on. There was NO hook in drawings from my Owners manuals ( yes have two books) one is operator manual, other is pictures for all of backhoe design. Blown apart engineering design pictures.

[@michaelparahus2609]

Would like these reviews to focus more on the pros and cons of the machines. We can look up specs easily on line. Need to know more on what you recommend and why? Started out to buy a 1 series but am now contemplating a 2025 as the price jump isn't great.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I understand. However, I'm asked more about specs by my customers than anything else. So, I answer what I'm asked most often.

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Enjoy seeing the comparisons, would help to know lift capacity of loaders and 3pt hitches.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you! Yes, I forgot to mention in the video, but have added to the description! I'll post here as well :) The 120r loader will lift approximately 800 lbs to 72" at the base of the loader arms. The 220r loader will lift approximately 1,100 lbs to 85" at the base of the loader arms. 1025r 3 point hitch will lift 681 lbs at 24" 2025r 3 point hitch will lift 1,150 lbs at 24" 2032r & 2038r 3 point hitch will lift 1,356 lbs at 24"

[@jonstuart8352]

Ive had my 2038r for a year. And lots of bolts have backed themselves out and some feel out. Check your tractors.

[@allenhunt3070]

Love that Rosey!

[@Jackdelfranco68]

I find it interesting that the standard power rating for tractors is HP when I thought torque was more applicable, especially give the generally low rpm operating range? As always, you do a great job with your videos, thanks!

[@andyc5612]

Great video. I have just started looking for another yard tractor, wasn’t sure of the size difference between a 1 and a 2 in the JD range. Great help. Nice pup too.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad it helped!

[@rp1645]

I know I'm late to this outstanding comparison Of the (JD) small all around great tractor line. Love the (Joy stick) location for the front loader. Your Puppy has gotten so BIG now with more current videos you do. Great looking DOG. A Farmers DOG. So glad you are SELLING the NEW to market other brand. They put all their (Joy stick) front loader control just like (JD) does with THIS size tractor.

[@haroldthibedeau515]

A tractor is only as good as and does as well as a operator is smart as. Don't blame the tractor for your mistakes. Practice and go slow and learn its capabilities . Safety is key. And your tractor will be very useful and kind to you

[@jimd.2378]

Will the snowblower 54 " front mount from my 2018 JD 1025r work on a 2025r?

[@robertduncan2742]

What about enclosed cabs with heaters

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Lots of options

[@mrgoodwrench1103]

Great comparison video. I've been looking at either the 1 series or the 2 series ( or as you called it the 1 1/2 series ) Haha :) Lots of good info to take in. Thanks.

[@danwagner3512]

I though the 2nd generation 2series had a 3pt front mount for the snowblower?

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

I have looked and couldn’t find the width of the 2038r. I have a 1025r and a 54” rear blower. And you are saying the 2038 is 53” wide. So it sounds like I can keep my blower if I was to upgrade. Tiller is a different story. That is 49” I think. Thanks lots of good info.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hi Laurie, Yes, rear blower would match up nicely on this machine :) Thanks!

[@cknip123]

Thank for doing this comparison video\ on these models. I am about to buy my first tractor which will be one of these models or similar Kubota in size. Good to see the differences.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

1 Series is the BX, 2025r doesn't have a direct, 2038r would be the B3350/LX3310. Some will try to tell you that the Kubota B2601 is comparable to the 1025r. It's apples to oranges though.

[@jeffturner3519]

I've got a 2 series tractor and ive been wondering what those extra lights are for on the top of the gauge cluster. I assume they use the same cluster for multiple tractors but the question still syands, what are they for? They're all green and labeled T, 1, and ,2 from left to right. Ive never seen them lit up.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good question. I don't think I've seen them lit up before either.

[@mrcraigbeckett]

How do these compare to the Kubota Lx2610?

I have 13 acres about 5 acres to work and friends and family that needs help time to time I do have a small mill what tractor would be best for my needs and may work it for money side jobs from time to time. Your input please will help a lot

[@BenChutes-mv4di]

My question is how much can those buckets left

[@Calamity_Jack]

It's listed under the Show More in the description.

[@bigg7882]

What is the difference between a single break and a double break I see a lot of double breaks on like 3-9 Series but never knew the difference between single and double

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Split brakes were common on Ag tractors to assist with turning.

[@bigg7882]

Good Works Tractors oh ok thanks for responding on this old of a video

[@timothyfarmer7255]

I will be logging with it too for my band sawmill but nothing crazy

[@GrampysTractor]

Is the 1025R sold? I don't find it on your web site.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, it was sold before it arrived.

[@bigg7882]

Good Works Tractors wow

[@jgk9820]

What would it cost to add a backhoe and is it possible to find a used backhoe? 2025r in particular.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I'm not up to speed on new backhoe costs, but I would imagine $6000-7000 ish for the 1 Series and on up from there on the bigger series. I've never had a used backhoe for sale by itself, but I'm sure there are a few out there.

[@AATreeService]

I have a brand new backhoe on my 2032. It’s msrp is 8500

[@tfunkhou88]

I know this video is old but it’s almost a 25% weight increase from the 1025 to the 2025, and a 33% increase from the 2025 to the 2032/2038

[@greesespot]

Just here for the puppy..

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, that's respectable.

[@stevekauffman2458]

Can we get a turning radius on the old vs New on the 2 series

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I don't have them available to compare right now, sorry

[@Matt10Lawrence]

Be careful, that dog looks vicious....

[@joelymariano9701]

Have good day how much one of those unit? Do you have those here in 🇵🇭..? Thank you

[@thelastmike]

What I am curious about but have not been able to verify is whether the 2025r has that same stupidly placed inline fuel filter up underneath the floorboards which is present on the 1025r. I did find one on display finally but it was parked over a puddle so I didn't go looking. I will say I think with the step it's easier getting on the 2025 than it is the 1025. The new opening mechanism for the hood is idiotic. I cannot believe that made it through committee. I suppose the notion is you will remove your key before opening hood so it is safer?? But the only real guarantee involved is annoying the crap out of people over time.

[@microDC]

Nope, its accessible on the side and has an on/off switch. Easy to take off the side panel, but you can see it without taking the side panel off.

[@Will-tm5bj]

Still a two range transmission on the bigger one?! Is that even really an issue though?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Correct, 2 range on all of these. I wouldn't say it's an issue, but I do use the Medium range on the 3 range machines most often. That's the range not included on these machines. It's the best mixture of torque and speed.

[@Will-tm5bj]

@@GoodWorksTractors yeah I kind of figured. The little time I have operated a tractor was in mid-range. That low is really nice to have when you need ot though

[@Will-tm5bj]

That's why I hesitate on anything larger than subcompact and john deere. I'd want at least 3 range hydro but would prefer gears

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I wouldn't really let it hold you back on a 1 or 2 Series JD. They are very nice machines all around. Well designed, great attaching systems on the loader, bucket, and mower. Full of features.

[@Will-tm5bj]

@@GoodWorksTractors no doubt they are. Thanks for the replies and the good videos, man!!

[@waynekingery4254]

I love watching your videos and you learning me a lot about tractors how about a new market to buy one I'm abating on John Deere are RK

[@waynekingery4254]

Can you get cabs on all three tractors

[@AATreeService]

Yes you can

[@PapaPeeps_]

I’m torn between the 2038R and the 3039R. Any chance you’ve got that comparison coming? If not any advice would be appreciated. I’m starting a 30 acre homestead in the coming years. Thanks for these videos, very helpful as I try to figure out the right machine for me.

[@gabehintzsche2064]

jpeeps67 the 3 series won’t have a pto under it. I would recommend the 2038 with 72 inch deck but that’s my opojion

[@PapaPeeps_]

Paintball9927 thanks for the input, but I’m pretty sure the 3R has a mid PTO.

[@gabehintzsche2064]

jpeeps67 oh maybe it does. I didn’t think it did

[@genedameier8746]

Great comparison. Every good video needs a dog.

[@danielsharon524]

Great Vid. I thought the 2025R & 203XR were dimensionally the same. Deere's 2 Series brochure is awful wrt dimensions so I wasn'teven considering 2025R but it's dims are more in line w/a B2601 and I really like the size of that machine. On the other hand, seems like for not a lot more $ one can get a 2038R which seems like a MUCH more capabletractor.

[@aeroliner750]

To bad John Deere doesn't honor it's warranty, just cutting the grass user abuse

[@AATreeService]

They did for me, they even Picked it up from my house and dropped it back off

[@JohnSmith-gw2pn]

Never had an issue with united ago and turf in Texas, rarely question a repair (even replaced the engine computer amd harness after a mouse got to the wiring, since it was on a TSB anyway) ... unless its very obvious that you bent or broke it. Not sure were you live, may try a different dealer if you have that option.

How is Rosie doing?

[@robertduncan2742]

Seems like the 1025 is close to the old 420 series in the 80s to 90s

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Not really. The 1025r would outwork it all around. I've owned a 400, 420, and 430. Really cool classic machines, but not in the same league.

[@tommyw.9424]

1025 is a lot bigger and heavier built than a 420
