Special Report! New 2017/2018 2025R Compact Utility Tractor - Interview and Walk-around

[@Drew6709]

Their options should become standard equipment for that machine.

[@susan330]

I have a 2014, 1025R and for the 1st time I took the backhoe off to use my 3-point hitch. It didn’t raise up, so I watched a KZbin video on replacing the valve, I’m 65 years old and a handicapped lady, I’m hoping I can change it myself as the dealership will charge a arm and a leg. Wish me luck Tim, I watch TTWT instead of regular TV, thanks for all the information you share .

[@semco72057]

I just purchased a new compact utility tractor and love it so far. For the work I do, it will come in handy, and one thing I like about it is the rubber mat which is handy, and the seat it has on it. My other tractor is a 790 which didn't have a floor mat at all. My new tractor have the power steering which is nice also, and the easy shift transmission which is easier than my older tractor.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Sidney Mathious congratulations!

[@GrampysTractor]

Let me see, you have a half acre and have a 1025R. I have 1 acre so I should have the 2025R! I think that the finance committee will now have to see it my way. So simple. Great video from the farm progress show.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Ken Litherland works for me!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+John Deere 2025 no.

[@jeffrainwater4084]

I have 6.13 acres so I like your math!

[@SchnebsGarage]

Hmm...I'm not sure I can afford that math, 94 acres would be enough for my finance committee to slap me for even suggesting that one.

[@loveoftheoutdoors7767]

Ken, In that works out for you please share the business tactics for the rest of us to grow!!!

[@aroundthegroundlandscaping7107]

although they offer the cab with the 1025r it doesnt fit with the backhoe attachment, plus they dont have anything for the new two series tractor up to this date kubota 23s has a cab incloser and the b2650 has a cab encloser as well. wish deere would step up to plate and make them in those series with backhoe available

[@Formulabruce]

Wow, Not ONE mention of the new Fuel Filler. The Hood is EMPTY of a Filler hole! Good news for those of use who cant lift a full 5 gallon jug over that hood and hold it there to fill the Fuel...( old 2025 R) This is a HUGE deal on the new 2025R that should be mentioned John Doyle !

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Formula Firebird good point! There are so many differences from the old 2-series that John didn't really focus on any of those. Rather, the focus was more on how the tractor compares to the 1-series and large frame 2-series.

[@truckerray7533]

Awesome walk round video on the the new 2025R. What I like is the little black side steps above the mower deck incorperated on the main operators deck area. I am 5' 4" tall & seems like a high step for me to git onto my tractor to operate. I was thinking here the other day, that if I could some how build a step just under the main platform deck that would be easier for me to get up & onto my "Johnny". Now this new 2025R already has this idea that I had thought of just last week. I wonder if this same step setup on the 2025R would fit the 1025R? I also like the incorporated backhoe seat on this new 2025R. I do not like having to swivel the 1025R operator seat 180° just to operate the backhoe. But that's the way it was designed. I wonder if this new backhoe seat idea would fit the 1025R 260 backhoe??? God bless ya'll for sharing this new video.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Rodney Leonard well, they just switched to 260B backhoe for 1025r, so the new ones now will have to two seats....no swivel

[@WPAOutdoors]

This is a great video, good job TTWT. As we are getting a new house on 2.5 acres, I have been looking at the 1025R and 2025R. I was hoping that the 2025R would be upgraded before I have to pick between the 2! Perfect timing! The question will be if the upgrade is worth it (not sure yet about the price difference with new 2025R). I will be mowing, tilling, fencing with auger, using pallet forks, plowing, etc. I welcome suggestions and comments from everybody! Thanks again TTWT!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+WPA Outdoors I like the higher ground clearance. This is big deal for the tasks you mention.

[@WPAOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@tomcarter9816]

Hi Tim, just a comment on the steps that are on the tractor, I wish that I could find similar steps for my 1025r, it would be better than stepping on the mower deck to get on the tractor like I do now. Maybe someone will fabricate some eventually, like Kens bolt on hooks, or R2 manufacturing. I'm very happy with R2's Edge tamer's, they are very well built, and made to last unlike a lot of things you buy these days.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tom Carter thanks, Tom. Not sure there is room for a step on the 1025r.

[@meanjoegreen4925]

nice walk around great LOOKING tractor i still have a problem though & it's with EVERY thing nowadays is all the plastic like the pins to take side panels off on my tractor there are screws not plastic so in winter time get brittle & breaks. thank you for the walk around

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+mean joe green thanks mean joe!

[@dannywakeman5212]

I love the idea about the extra step. I wish that a person could put an extra step on the 1025R for those of us that have disabilities getting on and off the machine. Any ideas ?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Danny Wakeman not really. There is not enough room if you use the mower.

[@truthinjesus1]

More lights options, no biggy!. Lifting or extending some of the control levers is good. On my 1025r I am doing the same. I put a 4" vice grip on my PTO level lever, makes it easier as I have the seat mostly forward. Same power train as 1025R.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+truthinjesus1 it will ride easier, for two reasons. Larger tires, and longer wheelbase

[@danielsharon524]

My understanding is that the rear axle is heavier duty so the 3 pt. Hitch capacity is significantly higher than a 1025R and the hydraulic output is a little higher so the loader capacity is slightly higher. I have yet to see one in person.

[@danbskyguy]

Hi Tim. Do you know if JD have any plans to make the 2032R/2038R in the smaller 2025R frame size? Or conversely upgrade the 1025R/2025R current models to include the 2032R/2038R features like command cut, auto throttle and electric cruise control. For me, the large frame 2 series are a bit big and heavy, but I’d love to upgrade my 2016 1025R to a small frame 2 series and get all the features of the large frame 2 series.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I do not know of any such plans

[@koplataroo2786]

Thanks for the review Tim. One disappointment is why not put LED lights as a standard feature.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Paul Duyn well, it beats having the confusion of an e vs. r with only minor differences.

[@garyh2023]

Is there a cab with heat and air coming soon?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

There is a factory cab now for the 1025R. Presumably it will be coming sometime for the 2025R. However, no air conditioning. The little guy just isn't powerful enough :-)

[@tomr9509]

Thanks Tim,I wonder how long some of those features trickle down to the 1025r.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tom Reed 1025r already had most of them, right? ...including new Backhoe, etc.

[@tomr9509]

There are a lot of features on the 2025r that I don't see on the 1025r (foot step,the side panel removal)Unless I missed that.If the new ones have that and more great.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tom Reed not sure the step will be able to fit on the 1025r.

[@wvdeere8643]

Great video. Couple things tho. Deere website shows the fender mounted lights are standard and the led are an option. Also they show a 72 inch deck available. Otherwise thanks for the great info. Curious to see how much the bigger tires are gonna cost if not much more than the 1025r i love the 2025r for a more "tractor" feel lol.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+alex tassos that makes sense. Wow, 72" would be a load!

[@wvdeere8643]

Tractor Time with Tim I could be wrong about 72 deck. May be for larger 2 series. And do you think this backhoe with optional thumb will be on the 1025r for 18 also?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, the 260B is the backhoe on all 1025R's going forward. Same with the 120R loader.

[@gdeisig]

Great video Tim, nice to see a 1025r with bigger tires...lol. Even though the smaller tires on the real 1025r were a seller for me. I have some low hanging trees and a smaller garage, so the smaller tires were a good thing. But whenever I drag the backhoe or bottom of the tractor, (usually when unloading off a trailer) I always think "I wish I had a little bit bigger tires." I like all the improvements they made on this 2025r. I will admit though... I don't think I'll ever get rid of my 1025r. It's so useful in so many ways because of its size. The two questions that I would have liked to have seen you ask the rep would be "Can you use the 1025r mower decks on the 2025r?" And "Has the front axel been redesigned?" I've heard a lot of complaints about the weak flimsy old 2000 series axles. The 1000 series axles "SEEM" to be beefier. All in all, I think Deere did a great job on this. They are really starting to get it right. (Except for not including the diff-lock pedal) jeeze that's annoying. But I ended up 3D printing one and it's worked out great for half a year now. Maybe I'll 3D print me some of those nifty side cover quick releases too.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You can get diff lock pedal from boltonhooks.com. I have a video on it.

[@gdeisig]

Tractor Time with Tim, yup I've seen your video and checked them out. Ken does a nice job with his items. I was gonna buy one, but recently aquiring a 3D printer has opened up a whole new world of modification to my tractor for pennies. (Minus the cost of the printer) Which, if it hasn't by now... will very soon have paid for itself in savings. Now all deere needs to do, is add some kind of a lock to the stabilizer arms while they're down and the backhoe is unhooked so the backhoe doesn't sag down and shift position while being stored.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Had hard is the material you 3D print? Is it hard enough to stand up to the rigors necessary for a pedal? If so, I may have to rethink one of these things!

[@gdeisig]

Tractor Time with Tim, they have various materials to choose from ranging from PLA (the simplest, cheapest material to work with and is a very hard plastic, but is a low temp plastic) to really dense super high heat deflection "peek". Of course temperatures vary depending on the material your using, and not all printers can print all materials. I belive my toughest filament I have is polycarbonate abs. It's very dense and would make a great pedal, but I decided to print one out of simple cheap PLA plastic first, just to get a prototype going. But as it turns out, my PLA pedal has been on my tractor all year and hasn't warped, mis-shapen, cracked, or caused me any trouble in any way. It is hard as a rock. This will be the first winter for it, so I'll find out how PLA holds up to the bitter cold. But to answer your question more directly, yes it's very tough for everyday applications when you print it with good material with the correct settings and geometry. There are lots of videos online with some great insight to 3d printing. If you would like to see my pedal, here is the link to the file on thingiverse. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2297047 If you access this link via your phone, you can swipe left and right on the picture to see more. If you access it on a computer you will see all the image thumbnails to click on.

[@tcbridges]

Tim, Find out when there going to start shipping them. Not one dealer had one in Western, Pa

[@barelystablefarm7151]

Can you get this model in a "TLB" like the 1025 or are those implements ordered separate? Any word on the pricing structure compared to the 1025R?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Greg K I do not have pricing info. I think they have quit the TLB, even for 1-series.

[@AdamMuhle]

One disadvantage to the 2025r vs the 1025r. The PTO switch is designed such that you can't use a clothes pin to circumvent the RIO safety switch. :-)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Adam Muhle unmentioned that in my web post...maybe you saw that?

[@AdamMuhle]

+Tractor Time with Tim I'm going to have to get into the habit of reading your web posts. :-) Since you brought it up, the link above does not work...looks like there are dots were some letters should be. It was still easy to find in the recent posts column on the right but I suspect you are aiming for something a little more direct.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Adam Muhle uhoh.

[@AdamMuhle]

All that being said, sounds like there is still a zip-tie solution. I finally implemented that one while taking all the covers off to investigate wiring options for ROPS lights. My goal was to put a rocker switch in the hole meant for the optional electronic mower deck lift so I could have flexibility in how many lights were on. In the end I decided to just use the ROPS light connection provided with the factory wiring harness.

[@tcbridges]

Is this 2025R sit a couple inches higher for better ground clearance? The 1025R is to low and a good 2 to 4" Height would help

[@TractorTimewithTim]

and the larger tires should help it to ride a bit better.

[@mi2tn]

You sure know how to pull on a man's heart strings. I think I like that better then the 2032R. Still have to keep my 1026 though. Stuff dreams are made of in my case.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+mi2tn understood. Not sure how this would do on your hills. Same small stance as 1026t, but higher center of gravity. Of course, with the larger tires fluid filled, the center of gravity might be similar.

[@Alanschmalzried]

Great video. No dpf too! I really like that. Any idea when the dealers will start to get the new 2025r?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Alan Schmalzried I of not know anything about availability.

[@Alanschmalzried]

Tractor Time with Tim I'm sure the folks at Mutton and Reynolds will be updating their websites soon. I'm looking forward to upgrading to a 2 series soon.

[@ReelCanuck]

Hey Tim, I am trying out a 2019 2025R. You mentioned that the mower deck is independent. I am having an issue that I can't lower the mower mechanism low enough because I have a tiller installed on the 3 pt hitch. So the mower bracket is not totally independent. Do you think it is just an issue with adjusting the height of the tiller?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No, you must remove any 3 point hitch attachment when mowing, as the 3 pt arms will go down when you lower the mower.

[@phantomrecon4952]

Trying to decide between the 1025/2025 and the Kubota bx/b series and my MAJOR hangup with JD is that their 1 and 2 series haven't been able to lift and curl with the front bucket at the same time. Is this still an issue with both 1 and 2 series in their 2018 models or has it been resolved? Please only reply if you know from experience. Thanks.

[@buildexplore3278]

I haven't really needed the extra power but you would think they would increase the hp on the 2025.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+CR Mills it is because of the Tier 4 diesel regulations..anything under 25 hp does not require the dpf

[@joeycyr6910]

Are you upgrading Tim?

[@2233golf2]

Oh man...I just found out that my shed is missing a tool.......great tractor no doubt...

[@znovosad555]

Work lights being al LED now is something I can get on board with! Maybe I could do a swap on on our work lights for the upgrade

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Tim, Awesome walk around on the new tractor! I have one question, do most of the tractor owners that you know want the ability to mow with their tractors? For me, I already have a mower and it is great at what it does, very fuel efficient and can BAG... I know that most of the tractor owners here in NYS don't mow with their tractors unless they brush hog or flail, but for regular grass everyone has a separate mower. Do you think that there would be a market for a tractor that eliminates the mid-mower gear train and maybe comes in a lot cheaper? Thanks! 😃👍

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+ScoutCrafter scout, that would be describing the purpose of the '3e' series

[@jeffrainwater4084]

Good to know. I was planning to NOT get a mid mount mower.

[@ScoutCrafter]

J Larsen - No wonder I see so many tractors with the snow blower mounted on the rear! Thanks!

[@jeffrainwater4084]

@Tractor Time With Tim, so lets say hypothetically you were buying a 3e series, trying to decide between the 3025e, 3032e, and 3038e and looking at all the different factory options trying to decide which you wanted. What considerations would you have to help you make your decisions. Would you be able to walk through the deere "build your own" options and talk through some of the different options? So many things to consider...Draw bars, draft links, tire options, raidator clean out screens, tillers, hydraulic kits, different light packages, hitches, loaders, lions and tigers and bears OH MY! I'm so paranoid of making a wrong decision.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Interesting topic! ...are you sure you want 'e'?

[@ExtremeRC4x4]

Awesome Tim! Be great if they would have offered the cab for this series when they did the "remodel", I think the kubota B series tractors with the cab look great. Also did I see a 6x6 John Deere gator in the background?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Ethan Boening I think so.

[@colinelihuff4354]

I want to know more about that 1 series with curved loader and Cab! Been watching a long time and your a legend!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+HUFF LAWNS LLC the curved loader is the new 120R. It is shared with the 2025R. The specs are very similar. Maybe a bit better visibility over the loader booms.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+HUFF LAWNS LLC the cab looks nice. A little tighter than the aftermarket cabs. However, I think it is VERY expensive.

[@mlemmon9232]

Tractor Time with Tim most things from Deere are VERY expensive

[@Formulabruce]

Cabs are expansive no matter WHO makes them!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Formula Firebird yep!

[@fredkaminski6138]

Oh Tim, now you went and done it! I want it! I'll have to trade in the 2025! What type of front quick hitch does it have?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Fred Kaminski same old quick hitch

[@shaftysgaming9857]

I got a 1025r i love it i dont mow with due to being very heavy,but it has a purpose for everything i dig holes or snow blowing or spreading dirt or stone,i bought mine with the 2 implements a bucket and mower,but for my buisness i own to z 540 they kick but at mowing

[@bobrosenbauer3316]

How does the new seat on the new 2025R compare with the suspension seat on the 1025R? The poor comfort level of seat on the previous version of the 2025R has been mentioned often -- Thanks

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Bob Rosenbauer I believe it is now identical to 1025r. Do not attempt to compare this tractor with the older 2025r at all. There is no relation.

[@terrafur-muhlandscapemanag2354]

Tim I have a lawn care company and do some minor landscaping and I think the 2025r TLB is the pefect fit for me I always assumed I would get a Kubota but not being able to set postions on the three point seems like a deal killer. The major negative on the Deere for me is that the loader is only able to handle one function at a time are you aware of any upgrades to fix this flaw. I'm guessing that it's flow rate problem and not upgradeable.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The limited flow rate is the issue, but it is no big deal in practice. I think our videos show that!

[@jamiesetchell7177]

Hi Tim you should get one and call it Jonny the second

[@fiorevitola880]

I know this is an old video on the JD compact tractor, but I would suggest to JD that they put step side for all 1023E 1025R so handy caped people can mont the driver platform without having to place a box to step on. I personally own 2019 1023E tractor that I have to have help to mount the driver platform.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

There is a step and a handle (for the top of the loader mast) available at boltonhooks.com. You might try that.

[@fiorevitola880]

@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you very much for your help, I went ahead and called John Deere and got the part number for the step on the 2025R and ordered it for a JD dealer near me. This video helped me to see an example of what I could do. Thank you again! I am always watching your videos for Ideas on how I can improve my equipment.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I do not believe the 2025r step will fit a 1023e.

[@johndeno562]

Until now I never knew what you were talking about, 2025R why would you buy a bigger tractor with the same HP,now I see. I have been talking to my dealer trying to get some info on the new stuff coming out. All he would give up was 120r, 260B, and no more tlb package. 260B does not work on the pre 2017 model 1025R

[@patrickcompton381]

Tractor Time with Tim l like my older version of the 2025r better than this new one

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+John Deere 2025 for some things, yes. This one has much better 'attachability', but if you don't need that, it wouldn't seem important.

[@patrickcompton381]

Tractor Time with Tim That is true, my biggest personal issue with the new version is the looks of it, my mower deck,loader,quick hitch compatible tiller and rear blade are very easy to get on and off so the attachability is not a concern for me, I do like the new backhoe

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+John Deere 2025 yes, the new backhoe has some nice improvements!

[@moltonwolf1785]

Same worthless single valve for the loader? I dislike my 1025r's loader because it cannot lift and curl the bucket at the same time. This same problem also is in the backhoe as well has this changed?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Molton Wolf we have not been able to test drive one of these yet, so I am not sure. They have slightly increased the hydraulic flow. One can hope that this increase would make multi-function moves easier, but I'm not sure.

[@1974webby]

Did you happen to notice if this new model 2025R has an exposed front driveshaft??? I own the previous model 2025R that I purchased in may 2017 this year with the 130 loader and 270 backhoe. Problem #1 Bad reverse switch on hydro pedals PTO kept shutting off. # 2 fully exposed front driveshaft I was mowing a field with a brush hog and the back side of the field was wet I put the tractor in 4wd and the grass wrapped around the front driveshaft and pushed the pinion seal out of the transfer case. causing the hydraulic fluid to completely drain out of the tractor. Granted warranty covered the problems. However this design is very poor. I even contacted john Deere corporate and explained the situation and wanted to trade-in and upgrade to a different model and after several phone calls I got absolutely NO WHERE with john Deere. No return calls and wouldn't even consider trade-in. even after I explained I be wiling to pay more. I love John Deere and have owned many of there garden and farm tractors though the years. Buyers beware check these things out that I have mentioned. remember $26,000 gets you a hand shake and a kick in the rear

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+1974webby I did not notice anything about the driveshaft.

Hows the price compare to say the 1025R or 2038R?

[@lordkamakazi]

Is the 2025R still considered a compact tractor, or a sub-compact since it's on a smaller frame when compared to the 2032R and 2038R?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Erik Asquith that is the beauty of it. It fills in that gap between the two.

[@jjr897]

Go figure they make these nice changes after I buy my 2025r 2 years ago, also on my Backhoe parts are wearing out with less than 130 hours on the tractor, but John Deere is fixing them for me thank god,

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Your 2025r is a totally different tractor. Yours is much 'tougher/stronger' than this new one. There are some really nice features on the new version, but no reason to 'fret' having the older one. You've got a nice machine! Glad to hear Deere is taking care of you on the repairs.

+michael winstead same loader as 1025r. I do not know pricing yet.

[@1frtrkdtr]

Thanks for replying. I watch all of your post. Enjoy all of them. I wanted a 2025 when I bought my 1025R back in March. At the time the 2025 was no longer in production. Tried to locate a 2025 but could not.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+michael winstead this new one is NOTHING like the old one.

[@lodprice2343]

Can Tim see Tim on a new 2025R?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Lod Price tim has dreams and visions beyond comprehension!

[@marshallman1au]

So does the Finance Committee ...... ROFL!

[@lodprice2343]

I wonder if the finance committee gave Tim a choice between a grapple for “Johnny” or a new 2025R, which would he choose?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Lod Price hmm, tough question!!! Ah, let's just go with both!

[@_P0tat07_]

I though he was going to interview the tractor based on the video title.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+P0tat07 maybe I should have???

[@_P0tat07_]

I mean, if you can engage in a conversation with a tractor, that would be amazing.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+P0tat07 i talk with Johnny all the time!

[@_P0tat07_]

When we first got our JD 425, I kissed the hood. My dad shook his head. We're all men here, we can love our green gals!

[@davidmays2161]

Great video Tim, it's 50/50 if this tractor ends up being an odd duck. Surprised to see JD put a limited cat1 3ph on a 2 series.

[@WolfinWolvesClothing713]

Wondering the loader and hoe are the same as my 1025. How do they get the extra lift capacity? Is it a higher volume pump or something?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They raised the hydraulic pressure

[@WolfinWolvesClothing713]

Ok, so I dont know if you ended up getting one, but if you were to trade the 10 for the 20 would you keep the same hoe or step up to the next size so you can keep your 3 point stuff on? And have a stronger hoe. I'm waiting for a quote right now. Trying to decide.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

2025r and newer 1025r use the same backhoe. 2038r/2032r use larger backhoe and have larger frame size / wheelbase as well. If you need the tightest turning radius stick with 1025r, otherwise, choose 2038r if you can afford.

[@WolfinWolvesClothing713]

@@TractorTimewithTim that's why I ask about going to the next size backhoe so I can keep my 3 point stuff on it, and have the next stronger hoe. I need the extra couple hundred lbs lift and the ground clearance. I just really feel like between using it for firewood in the woods and doing driveways etc for neighbors, that I would be better off with just a little more tractor than mower. Idk. I dont think I will regret it but I definitely can't do the next level in horsepower. That starts getting out of my budget. Lol.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

So 2032r/2038r? If so, this is great tractor.

[@proudpapa196544]

Why didn't you show the cab to the fiance committee????

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Mark L we looked it over really well. Nicely built.

[@xle5363]

What's the price tag on that machine?

[@ERICMB24MF37U24F39]

The only thing i hear is: it's an Option.... LOL nice curved boom 😉

[@Formulabruce]

I can tell you that seat Rocks, had one on my 1026R, was just right!

[@akbychoice]

Was there a 2032R there?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+akbychoice yes, or maybe it was a 2038r

[@akbychoice]

Tractor Time with Tim yes I believe you are correct

[@adamaustin3373]

so is the remodel a 2017 or 2018?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

17

[@terrafur-muhlandscapemanag2354]

This tractor seems very hard to find to have a look at plus I noticed it's absent from the 2 series literature that's in the dealers now. Any one notice this or know whats up.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Deere has one in the outdoor test booth here at GIE in Louisville. So, it is definitely still in their current marketing plans.

[@clgberg]

Pretty content with my 1025r after viewing this video. Not much difference but I suspect price may be!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Doesn't look to be too bad. I'll have more pricing info posted (website or video, not sure yet) soon...in the next day or three!

[@arnehelland6015]

Why are the putting 1025r parts on a 2025, my 2016 2025 has larger implements and 270 backhoe and a 130 loader.

[@gclaytony]

I had to stick with the 1025R. The cost for the step to the 2R series was just a step too much. It actually made the 3R look attractive...😏

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Clayton Yendrey this is a brand new smaller 2-series

[@41714049]

On the bright side... I just upgraded my 2320 to a new previous version 2025R for $3500 less than a 1025R would cost me. Thanks for the refresh many dealers are clearing out the older version.

[@CJPhillips6648]

I really like the 2032R it is a great looking tractor, can't wait to test drive one!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+CJ Phillips yep!

[@cliffordlarson5425]

You getting a new one?nice

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Clifford Larson who knows?

[@marshallman1au]

>8^)

[@fishingwith_luke7010]

man if i had the money i would pick that thing up in a heart beat.

[@Korahandherdad]

Just purchased the 2025r... Awesome machine... but have to laugh every time I hear “all new made and built buy John Deere.... Designed and assembled by Deere .. built by Yanmar/Kanzaki.

[@gismar3698]

Muito bom tem que vim para o Brasil também

[@valqueenofValhalla]

Glad mine is 20/21

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No difference to my knowledge.

[@kencotton4645]

So, does this mean Johnny might be heading for retirement to make way for a new tractor??

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Ken Cotton oh my, that sounds cruel!

[@tcbridges]

I don't know about that I have 3 dealers within a 75 miles area and my dealer is a big company and they tell me I'm the first to put money down on it. many maybe waiting until they come it to see and test run it

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think it will be a fine tractor. It will be much like the 1025R which is a great tractor. It will ride better than the 1025R. It won't turn quite as short, but I doubt that it will be noticeable. As far as others 'not putting their money down', I think the only reason folks might be hesitant is because of the price. You may have negotiated a price similar to a 1025R. If so, you've done great. I think folks are a bit hesitant to pay a lot more money for what they perceive as 'larger tires'. Having said that, I think the 2025R will be a nice upgrade from the 1025R, yet smaller, more nimble, and cheaper than the 2032R. IN other words, don't doubt your decision just because of the delay. However, if you are having second thoughts, consider the bigger or smaller brother.

[@station173]

Improvements,I guess but still far behind the Kubota bx 25d.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Butch s Favorite Hardy well, would not agree there, but the bx23s is pretty impressive. Picked up a LOT of the Deere features and one-upped with the standard single point connector.

[@gijoe0819681]

If you want to upgrade from a 1025R this does not seem to be much of an upgrade with the same powertrain. Engine Power, FEL lift capacity and PTO output.....its just a 1025R with bigger tires and a few improvements...of which most of them appear to be "optional upgrades" . Not alot of bang for the buck.

[@tcbridges]

Well still waiting for my 2025R to come in and its coming on December already. No one has any answers yet? The John Deere dealer still has no idea when there even starting to ship leaving there dealers with no answers yet. Thats not right was thinking to go up and look at Kabota's now.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Be patient. Once you get the tractor, you'll soon forget the wait. You've identified the tractor you want. Don't alter that choice due to short term impatience.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

My understanding is that Deere is swamped. Selling more of these tractors than they can produce.

[@jakeschisler7525]

Tim, are you going to upgrade?

[@davidmays2161]

Jake Schisler Why would he upgrade? For a few inches of seat height, a step and taller back wheels you would lose your thousands trading a 1025r for a 2025r. Besides, Johnny is part of his family and trading won't help get Tim a grapple.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Did you get approval with the finance committee? Lol.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Love2boat92 it is a continual process. I told her it would ride better when mowing. That scored points.

[@davidmcclellan2786]

That looks like a busy tractor

[@JoseAntonio-pb7nd]

I don't care what anyone says but the 1025R felt like a actual tractor and not a lawn tractor like the GC and BX models.

[@orkhancombe5]

awe new tractor

[@aroundthegroundlandscaping7107]

when will john deere get smart and make factory cabs for these tractors. kubota has them and is their main competition. wake up please john deere

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Deere does offer one for the 1025R. ...in fact you can see it in this video....in the background. Looks pretty nice. Actually made by Mauser, I think. There will be one for the new 2025R soon.

[@mrbubetube]

price! price! you forgot to talk PRICE! oh, that's right. It's a John Deere. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
