Bought my 2019 1025R last May to excavate a garden plot on the mountain where i live. Best purchase I ever made, and my $500/lb tomatoes taste delicious!

There's a REALLY good book called The $64 Tomato, about just what you were referring to. I've read it twice, over many years, because I enjoyed it, so much. You have that guy beat, though.

[@philvessa1069]

Courtney, if this VID is not produced directly for me, nothing ever was! Wanted to upgrade from X540 to X700 series. When you see the difference in the machines, what u can do with the One series vs the X758, the opportunities the One series gives you are endless. Two deciding factors were the 3 point hitch (btw, the back blade I purchased from you looks and works beyond expectations) The other was the four-wheel-drive system. The x-700 series is a fluid drive always engaged. Sorta like an all-wheel-drive minivan. The one series is shaft driven and reacts like my Pick up! U engage it with a leaver, and without hesitation, You know it's engaged! The X700 has on soft or wet grass dug into the lawn. The one series, in two-wheel drive, never does that on a hard turn. Without a doubt, can't thank you enough for making me look at the One series. Deff was the right move!

[@williamhaynes7089]

I didn't buy a green one, but I bought a smaller 25hp... I am 100% happy with decision to buy a tractor .... (Don't care what color you buy)

[@Hankxiong]

😂 truth

[@bodgaard]

I have two neighbors with 1023’s and they’re both happy with them. Ended up buying the Kubota B2601 which I’m still enamored with almost a year later, but, the 1 series was a close second,….just wanted something a bit bigger due to something one of my neighbors said once and something a tractor salesman mentioned to me once. Got the extra hydraulics and grapple on the front and the extra hydraulics on the back for implement angle adjustment. Get the extra hydraulics; it increases your tractors usefulness and versatility exponentially. For me, just adding the grapple was an increase in capability beyond conversation. If acquiring a tractor with a loader is a five, then adding a grapple is a ten. Rock, logs, brush,…..picks it all up just like a giant hand. Got the root rake (clam shell) grapple….. nice multipurpose design that I have yet to be disappointed with. But let’s be honest, any tractor is better than no tractor…….

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Bought mine new in 2015. Been a good little tractor so far. The quick attach deck and loader make it worth every penny over the other brands. My only complaint is the cut quality of the deck isn't that great. I still prefer mowing with my X720

[@ibtm]

I had one of these for 5 years and it was PERFECT and an absolute ball to operate!!!!!!

[@StumpkillerCP]

I retired a Ford 640 (1956) and replaced it with a '21 JD 1025R with 60 hours. Sooo much easier. Maybe 30% less lift capacity at the 3-point (I had to cut 3" off a sub soiler and sold my 5' rotary mower - for what I paid for it - and replaced it with a 48" rotary). But that just means a little more time on task - not a problem for a retired owner. Power steering and quick detach/drive over mower attach are so nice.

[@simonhjc]

Fantastic comprehensive video! Well done

[@jonathanmagic5633]

I'm a Kubota fan from Australia but I love your videos, lol.

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Looks like a great machine. I'm looking to hopefully get a sub compact tractor next spring time 🙏🙏🙏

[@belindakt]

The list is endless when considering the possibilities of what can be done with a sub compact. Best advice I can offer is to buy 1 while you're still young, your back will thank you. The stump bucket is an interesting looking attachment, I see lots of possibilities with something like that... Keep us updated on it.....

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Great advice too Belinda! Yes, I've had a chance to use the stump bucket a couple times so far and really excited to get it in production. Long time coming!

[@brendanhayes2752]

I bought a 1025R from GWT. It has been great. The fork lift and the bucket have been the most useful so far. Moving pallets of summer boat and lake toys from the shed to the house have made a miserable job fun.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for chiming in Brendan! Good to hear from you.

[@OhioBladeandCutlery]

I just bought one with the Mauser cab. Very excited

[@eternalbliss1168]

First I was looking to buy used, but after I add the attachments and upgrades I need it seems just buying new comes out about the same plus I get a full warranty. I am glad to see the single point hydraulic connector on the new 2021 model, and the other upgrades are all things I would of added to a used model. So looking to get the 2021 model TBL, winterized, plus a couple of attachments, Rim guard added and free delivery. My kids will be able to keep it or sell on later to get their inheritance back lol.

[@gregnewlin1074]

Owned a 1025R TLB with 54D deck for 5 years. Mow, move snow, did out stumps an rocks, till, cannot say enough good about it. It does nothing great! But it does everything very very well.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for sharing!

[@stephaneviau3909]

Did you get rid of it? Bought a new one? Bigger? I'm looking at the 1025R vs 2025R...everyday my choice is different. More weight and lift capacity vs versatility...tough decision!

[@josephsierra7295]

Same here bud! Wishing I had bough mine 10 years ago! Except the 1025R didn't exist yet..LOL!

[@Julian-do7bv]

I love my little Mahindra emax22 it's a great little tractor and there are so many toy you can get for them haha

[@Eman-sm8cj]

I bought my 1026 4x4 w/loader and tiller 8 yrs ago. It's been flawless for my 5 acres. It's only used for lawn maintenance, tilling the garden, and clearing snow off the driveway. It still looks like new. I just bought a small 71 acre farm and tried to use it till up some food plots....but, quickly found out it's WAY too small for this type of work. I'm gonna have to trade it in for something in the 40-50hp range. If you have a few acres and you're looking for a small tractor, you can't beat one of the small units. I wouldn't have one without the front loader though.

[@wraith3951]

I just bought a new 1025R Sight Unseen and quickly realized I should have kept my old Massey Ferguson 135 despite all the issues I had with it but oh well.... the 1025r is a Great tractor I can use at my house as well as on my mothers massive amount of land

[@David-tx9wd]

These videos are great tools for researching while shopping for subcompact tractors. Thank you for putting in the time to inform the public! I can't tell you how many hours I've watched of videos like this while deciding between a Kubota BX23S or the 1025r. I went back and forth but decided to get a 1025r with front loader, 260b backhoe, AV20F Grapple, and probably a frontier box blade (not sure which one yet). I have 5 sloped and wooded acres plus a large lawn, so this size is perfect to fit my needs. I can't wait to tackle stump removal, forest clean up, trail making, and grading for a sport court and shop. I don't buy the "you will always want something bigger" argument because one needs to figure out what will work for their property before they buy. I think proper research and testing would help eliminate that, but I'm sure it happens still! I've decided to go with the 1025r for several reasons: 1. I'm familiar with John Deer controls owning several riding mowers over the years. 2. I think the front loader is designed better 3. Position control for the rear implements 4. Ease of removing the 260b backhoe. 5. I liked the look of the JD better. My neighbor has a Kubota and is very happy with it. It will be fun doing joint projects which will provide some good comparisons on the two machines.

[@BarryHull]

Agree with everything you said, EXCEPT... aftermarket fluids, as long as they meet OEM specs are every bit as good as OEM fluids. The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act passed in the 70s says that if a manufacturer requires OEM parts and fluids that is must be covered under warranty. Bottom line, the correct aftermarket fluids are fantastic. Thumbs up, and this video pushed me toward the JD, thank you!

[@jerryulman5713]

Bought a 1026R at an auction 9 years ago, with 30 hours on it. Just sold it for $500 less than I paid for it with 400 hours on it. Never had a ounce of trouble with it. Went a bought a new 1026R. Nothing Runs like a Deere.

You make exceptional videos with great information. I ordered my 1025R last week and will take delivery soon. I was really torn on whether I needed such a pricey piece of equipment for a piece of property my size (2 acres) but with the versatility of the JD I figure it will be worth it. I’m sure I’ll become everyone’s best friend once they see it. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@David-excellent]

Get the snowblower attachment. The blower and the midmower alone will make the purchase worth it if you have an acreage.

[@Gzus]

I have a 2007 X728 (27HP), 45 Loader, front quick hitch, 54" snow blade, quick attach ballast box, and 48" deck. As of today, I have invested $10,500 into it, which is slightly more than 1/2 the price of a new 1025R with a FEL. Granted, the 1-series comes with a 3-point hitch, but since I don't already own any 3pt attachments, that's not a big selling point. The 2007 was one of the last years the X728 came with MFWD, and I'd rather have mechanical FWD, than HFWD, because it's easier to fix/repair something mechanical. My X728 also has tilt-steering and cruise control, and I was surprised to see that all 1+ series tractors don't include those as standard features. All that being said, my next tractor will be either a 1025R or a 2-series, and I'll still likely buy used to avoid the curb-charge.

[@MrChristopoop]

I Know you don’t really advocat the backhoe, but we have 17 contiguous acres (11 wooded), and we have used ours for many numerous things. Latest was digging a french drain for a barn extension with a dry well at end. Also dig holes for 9 for trees for screening on property. Unfortunately dug two large holes for big dog owners in winter time (both dogs had passed away and were buried on each owners property). I also dug a 100 foot long trench for a septic access for an RV. The RV can now Park at a higher elevation and the owners can empty their grey water at home intoned their own septic (not all places they stop have access to this). There are other projects I have done with it as well. Best of all, makes awesome ballast when using loader and weight in winter moving snow.

[@MrChristopoop]

Oh, almost forgot, I have 154 hours, only issue so far was the PTO switch breaking. To be fair my property is on the back side. Of a military crest, lots of slope. So with that being said, I am using that PTO switch often to run my mower deck in reverse as well as normallys tarting and stopping it. Very reliable.

[@monicamarino2122]

I am sorry 😐 for the lost of the family pets .

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I hear ya, if you can find the need, get it! Or, if you just want one, then get it! :) It's just a very expensive attachment to have sitting around if you only have a couple of projects to knock out. Thanks for chiming in!

[@tjvaichus]

I agree, Chris. I wasn’t sure because of the price but I ended up getting the BX23S last year. I use the backhoe all time, more than I thought i would . Really a great tool to have, granted it’s in your budget.

[@dalejohnson6341]

Monica Marino it was too small for my needs so I don’t know much about it. With it being a new model I wouldn’t buy the first year or so until they work any problems out. If you are getting the cab model test drive it to see how loud it is in the cab. It’s seems like a great sized tractor and I love Kubotas!

[@xdude2x]

Grew up on Green, happened into a lightly used BX2670 that came as a package deal with a house purchase. I was set on buying a 1025r but the price on the BX was right and it was set up with most of the implements I wanted. I am pleasantly surprised with how nice of a machine the Kubota is and how much work I can get done with that little thing. If and when it’s time to replace it the JD will get a long hard look, but I’m also becoming fond orange, lol. I’m not sure you can go wrong either way, thanks for the video

[@russellpottenger8584]

I have the same story xdude2x, Less than a month ago just purchased a small 3 acre ranch in Big Bear with surrounding national Forest. The smallest of small subcompacts BX1800 came with the property. Front loader and rear box will make short work of most of my chores

[@lilyt8578]

Bought mine in june 2020. In no small part because of this great and informative video. I bought mine with a cab ,60" mower, tiller, and, loader. Additionally bought a from good works tractor: a dethatcher, pallet forks, and soon to pick up stump bucket with more items to come. However keep in mind if buying a 1 series tractor i do not think you can use a back hoe if you get the cab option. I think if one wants that set up you have to step up to the 3 series tractors. Good Works Tractor will be able to tell you if that is true. Thank you for the video Courtney. Tim

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Awesome, thanks Tim!

[@christianlords1340]

you have to get a fork lift attachment. I got one with my Kubota and I always use it. You find ways to use and do things you would not think about doing, until you have a fork lift attachment. Not sure if jon deers sells on or not. buy it and you will certainly use it.

[@tekker8308]

I want a 1025R for many things like a front loader, mowing and snow removal, but my city lot has 46 in sidewalks and I have a fence so I can't straddle the sidewalk. The 1025R is to wide and the X700 series is almost as bad and doesn't have the attachments like front loader. Mowing with either of these would work, but snow removal - especially with 50+ snow blades and snow blowers kills it for me. What's a guy supposed to buy?

[@Will-tm5bj]

At first I wanted a backhoe whenever I finally get the tractor. But now I'm against it in favor of renting a mini excavator and running TWO pieces of equipment. You can get 8 1 week rentals of a 10,000lb machine for the cost of these backhoes. You know how much work that gets done?! Each time I've rented a mini ex I wanted something small to run in between moving piles. I could have gotten so much more done

[@chriswiese8729]

I purchased a 1025R in 2014 for my 2 acre property, with a 60" belly mower, a front-end loader, 3 point box scrapper, and 3 point/PTO broadcast fertilizer spreader. Detaching and attaching the appliances is so fast and easy, by far the benchmark in the small tractor category. After 9 years and 700 hours, the JD 1025R has been 100% trouble free and has paid for itself in money saved paying subcontractors. My only regret is that I didn't get the backhoe. Is there a cost effective way to add the backhoe? I've heard of people trying to add the backhoe with bad results. Too costly to add after-the-fact because of a needed subframe to prevent damaging the tractor?

[@curtanderson8655]

I looked and drove a 1025r that a friend has and it is a great little tractor but to look at the prices that used ones are selling for, I had to go with Kubota BX2360.

Nice tractor, but where I am after doing lots of checking, John Deere cannot support me for if I have any issues with unit. It would be a long travel of Three days. I ended up with a Mahindra 25L which is on its way. I can get the service from them. John Deere was my first choice thinking that the service was there, but not the case. Mahindra is a great machine also, and hopefully all goes good. I like that stump bucket, I may need one. Ha!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for watching!!

Were you using position control or letting gravity do it's thing? I have been trying to use a 72 inch land scape rake on a sandy beach. Gravity lets it dig in too far and stops me. Trying to use position control, I makes hills and valleys. I bought gage wheels and they maybe the answer with practice. Your dethatcher looks interesting.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I was just dropping it down and letting it do it's thing. Those green tines flex so much to prevent digging in to the ground an excessive amount.

[@tools6106]

My dealer has 4 1025R’s with transmissions burned up, service it more than regularly!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Send me your service guy's contact info. I'd love to get more details. Sounds pretty unbelievable to me, so would love to get the nitty gritty. 👍

[@keithlewis9106]

What do you have on the roll bar ?? I seen the video on the other items you have attach to your unit.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Could be the Big Tool Rack ROPS storage system. Comes with tie downs to strap tools to it.

[@dlaregleep]

Any word yet on the availability of your stump bucket? Obviously it would be much less expensive than a backhoe. I want to clear some of our wooded acreage and eliminating stumps by getting them out of the ground. I have lots of this to do. Do I need a backhoe or will a stump bucket do the job? Isn’t there more power in the loader anyway?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hi Gerald, not ready yet. I need to find more time in the day, haha!

[@faxbullog8361]

Don’t need one. Want one.

[@genedameier8746]

So you would recomend a dethacher over a landscape rake to collect sticks on a large yard? What are the prices? 60" rake 400? Dethacher ______?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Definitely, much gentler on your lawn, cheaper too! Pricing on my website. www.goodworkstractors.com/product/buy-3-point-dethatcher-for-tractor-tractor-3-point-dethatcher-for-sale/

What’s the difference between a 1025r and a 120r?

[@thall6076]

my brother purchased a new 1025r 2 months ago and already been in the shop 3 times, and now he called me today frustrated the top hood and mostly all the plastic has spots all over the paint, he tried everything and the spots will not come out, looks like badly water spots, so hopefully he can get john deere to fix this as well. he may just got a bad one out of the bunch.

Does a manufacturer make a dump side front loader

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Side dump buckets for larger tractors, but not aware of any for smaller machines.

Absolute best buy I've ever made in my life was buying my John Deere 1023E with a loader. I got 5 acres and a long driveway. I wonder how I've lived all these years without.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, amazing how a tractor changes things :)

[@jimmielittle877]

What's your opinion on the JD 1023E?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Get a 1025r.

[@james2042]

4:06 That right there is one of the least understood facts about cars (and tractors), when a company is selling 6 or even 7 digits worth of a product and they have 1000 go bad, thats a rather high success and reliability rate considering the nature of moving parts and hydraulics.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yep, completely agree!

[@daltontodd7912]

If I purchased the 1023 or 1025 without the mower deck, is an easy task to equip the mower deck at a later time?

[@billbarnes454]

Yes it is

Recently purchased a new 2020 John deere 1025r with loader backhoe.60" mower deck w load and go. Tooth bar and set of forks and 48" box blade and had the beat juice put in rear tires. Paid 27 for it all. Did I pay too much?

[@josephbenge8707]

@@GoodWorksTractors I drove a LX2610SU and its a nice machine. But its about 3 grand more than the 2025R deere im also looking at. It didnt have arm rests, cruise control finder lights or tilt steering like the deere. So deere it is for me. Now I am just trying to figure out if the 2025R is worth the $2600 price increase over the 1025r. Also on the fence on the backhoe. Have you used a 2025R much?

[@josephbenge8707]

Almost forgot , the LX also didnt have the quick detach loader or the quick release hydraulic release lever like some of their other models. I wanted to check out the B2601 but none to be found anywhere around me for at least a month or longer.
