TRICKED OUT! FIRST 7 UPGRADES TO MY JOHN DEERE 1025R TRACTOR

[@devencook4718]

i did these to my 1025R. thanks for the links. i also added additional LED work lights to the ROP system. these updates are a must for any 1025R owner

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Awesome!

[@devencook4718]

@@GoodWorksTractors so a follow up. the LED replacement for the small work lights only lasted a couple of times (not even an hour of use) and then got really dim. so i am replacing them again. hopefully this is just a bad batch of bulbs, overall these are great upgrades

[@VideosfromNH]

When I saw "Tricked out", I imagined a snorkel attached to the ROPS. I like the fuel dispenser on the back of the pickup. Sweet set up for remote jobs.

[@ronaldgildenzopf2698]

I did the led lights upgrade today .. What difference!! Thanks for sending the information of the bulb numbers ,, right on!!

Awesome, thanks for your feedback Ronald!

I’ll tell you one I did to my Kubota, don’t remember the size except it was 20 hp, hydrostatic w/loader. A man bought it new $17,000, one year old 80 hrs l gave $9,000. He used it to clean 2 story chicken houses. He put the wide turf tires on the rear and they mount with a compressed aluminum sleeve which with the wide tire only goes on half way and comes loose in 5-6 hrs. I bought the tractor to use at our mountain home that we were building. Something had to give plus I knew wider tires in the mts would be better. Machinist by trade I made a 12” extension to weld on each side (much to long). Now the tire fits perfectly doesn’t come loose anymore and made the tractor much more stable. Only moved them out 4” but it looks and worked great. They should make the axles 3-4” longer, wouldn’t cost any more, maybe a dollar. Let’s do another.

[@TheFlatlander440]

I love the dual rear tyres with the wheel spacers. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the added stress on the transmission, rear wheel bearings, axle and differential.

[@donaldnewger6027]

I would also like to see some data on that.

[@ritterjon]

💥 Steering wheel spinner is by far the most used and most important accessory! In my opinion anyway. Keep on tractoring!

[@ironheadbiker]

Waiting for the green L.E.D. under the frame turning the snow green. Lol. I finally got my 72" x 3ft high snow pusher! I shot a video of it. I loooove my snow pusher! There is a guy with a 1025r rockin a 72", but he admits over 5" and he's d.o.a. I think a HLA 72" might not be too bad on a 1025r because of its lower height. It can only load up so much snow with that full top back drag. My video shows a 5ft high X 20ft pile being pushed without a wheel spinning, wet heavy 32 degree snow. It got me thinking how a back drag across the top would interfere with a large pile?

[@retireddriver16]

I plow with a JD 54” front blade, two nine inch metal extensions ( a kit I found on Amazon) and two twelve inch rubber extensions (DIY project using truck mud flaps) on my 1026R. Read my reply comments under Allen Pynes comments (10 months ago) where he mentions leaving tire tracks in the snow with the dually wheels.

[@toddjacobs5660]

I did everyone of these up grades except the dual rear wheels on my 2032R. I have a 72" quick connect deck also. The Big Tool Rack stuff is crazy prices. But isn't everything out of control for the blue collar worker

I ordered the LED bulbs for my 2019 2025 R which are to be delivered today. Cannot imagine on such a pricey little tractor that they are not standard equipment. The duals you put on are a bit silly, not just silly, very silly.

A heated seat would be awesome. I would love the cab but that extra 7k bites

[@WildChildRecovery]

I know this is a year late, but were going into winter soon again. You gave me a hell of an idea. They sell the heating elements for heated seats on Amazon. It would be easy enough to get the seat cover, and use hot glue to bind the elements to the seat cover. Then i would bind more material to the elements to protect the seat. Wiring it in would be easy enough. Thank you.

[@davidcarleton6928]

I found some black flexible tape that works well on those seat cuts/breaks. Looks like duct tape but no fibers and flexible. I then cover with the seat cover. Sorry but not sure where I got it.

Looks like you need a snow pusher bigger than the rear end.So your not packing the snow down with the tire tracks?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Correct, I'm going to be trying out a 72"...no idea if it will handle it or not. Otherwise, I'll have to figure out another solution. 72" pusher on a 1025r is way too big, but that's kind of the point of this whole thing...push it to the limit.

Yes, I did load all four. Someone mentioned that I should only load the inner two, not the outer two. I might see about turning up the pressure at some point.

[@jimnh2able]

My 2014 1025r headlights don't use those headlights. They use the same bulbs as the fender lights. Something you missed when you say those bulbs are for all years of 1025r tractors. They are not. My headlights are like the older 3032e's pre 2010 that you show in your other video. So I guess Deere changed the headlight bulbs either during or after the 2014 model year. I recently replaced my halogen headlights with new bulbs from Amazon Sylvania 886 Basic Halogen bulbs. I guess the 881's would be the LED replacement.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Really? I feel like I've put them in every single 1025r I've ever had. Hmm 🤔 Makes me want to check a few more now. I will do more research on that one and thank you for sharing!

[@johnhogan3469]

Unrelated to the video but need help with a JD 3038e. Was coming up a kinda steep hill at an angle the other day, and all the sudden my tractor stalled. It only has 70 hours on it. I turned the key off, and turned the key back on, and the engine warning light came on and was blinking red, but no code or message on dash. I was able to slowly roll the tractor back down the hill to the flat, and waited about 15 min, and was able to get the tractor started again, and get it back to the garage. But ever since then, when I turn the key to start the tractor, that same warning light comes on while the tractor is off and blinks. It shuts off once the tractor starts and i get no other warnings or indicators. The oil level appears to be full, on a cold engine, on a flat surface. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder how the hill side ability with those duals mounted would compare to the Ventrac steep hill ability? I bet it would be close, and a whole lot lower priced!

[@cwolf8841]

Assuming the duals don't overload the axle. Ventrac has a much lower center of gravity. But, point well taken. I can't get a price list out of Ventrac dealers.

Looking if anyone has any ideas where to get a winter front for the 1025R. My thought is looking at something like removing the radiator screen for the Winter an slide a sheet of plastic as a Winter front (would love it to be JD Green & what would be even sweeter if it the JD Logo laser cut in it for some air flow through the radiator). So in short anyone came across something like this & where.

I don't have a 1023e here to check, but if they look like the 1025r headlights, then same bulbs.

No they are not like the 1025r. They turn in like the spot lights next to the seat on the 1025r. They only have two wires going to the headlights

@GoodworksTractors I have a little over an acre of land that had corn growing last year, previous owner did not work it when they left. With 3.5 acres to mow and this 1.25 acre to work, will the 1025r do the trick? Was thinking of getting the 1025r with R4 tires but have no idea on which/what type of tiller... any insight would be greatly appreciated

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hi, yes, you could tackle it with a 1025r. It's all about sizing the implements for the tractor to accomplish the task at hand. Of course, larger tractors typically make quicker work too.

@@GoodWorksTractors .....and plowin snow lol

[@vscolkitt]

I use JD’s 54” front snow blade on my 1026R. I bought 9” metal extensions that bolt to either side of the snow blade. I also saw a few video where people added 12” wide “rubber mud flaps” to their plows (like on diesel tractor trailers) so I added those to the metal extensions. I’m now plowing 9 foot wide paths with 1025R. Six inch snow falls are no problems with the blade angled!The rubber mud flaps are mounted about a 1/2” higher than the plow’s metal extensions and are basically for diverting the plowed snow off to the sides more. Another advantage of the rubber mud flaps is they bend a little without breaking so I can trim around raised cement curbing and landscaping, mail boxes, etc. without damaging anything! I’d highly recommend the rubber mud flaps and the metal extensions for the 54” JD front plow! I drive up within an inch of garage doors, lower the snow blade and back up about 6 feet, then turn around and push the pile away. No shoveling ever!
