2018 John Deere 1025r Reviews
2018 John Deere 1025r Reviews welcome to our website for the latest compact tractor reviews, ratings, prices and comparisons. Christy and I had the chance to get a nitty gritty ride on the new Deere 2025r in their presentation today at the Farm advance Show close Decatur Il. If you are impatient, and want a quick recap, I would summarize it like this: “A 1025r with larger tyres”.
In addition to a more detailed discussion in this article, be sure to watch our video from the day of release here, where John Doyle, Product Marketing Manager John Deere walks us all the way around the new 2025, showing the features Detailed from one end to the other.
As I said earlier, the new 2025 is very similar to the 1025r. In fact, from my point of view it is more similar to a series of 1-than its 2-series larger brothers framed. Over the last few years, there has not been a smooth “update path” for owners of a series. The 2-series was outdated, lacking most creature comforts that we have come to expect from the John Deere line. 1-series owners who want to upgrade needed for any sacrifice on things like the automatic connection deck, tilt direction, enhanced seat, etc., or move all the way to the 3-series tractor. This made the decision to update difficult.
Deere began to solve this problem a year ago with the introduction of the 2-series large-rack tractors. The new 2025R completes this effort, providing the features of Deere designed comfort and convenience across all compact and tractor models.

The hood’s gas lift bolster gives simple access to the motor compartment and takes out the requirement for a mechanical help bar. This help structure configuration gives superb unbending nature to hood.

Use the quick-hitch front mount instead of the 3-point front hitch for the front/blower/broom blade. (much less expensive to add a front blade for snow removal)
Do you owe a series owner update? Of course, a single answer to all situations will not be applied. However, the upgrade process should be much easier now than before. You will gain ground clearance, perhaps a few inches of loader elevator height due to larger tyres, easier access to some controls, additional 300 lbs, together with the opportunity to add even more weight via the liquid ballast Tyre on the larger tires. The top seat position will improve the visibility of the front end loader. Larger tires should improve the ride. You can see a marginal improvement in the hydraulic lifting capacity.
You’re going to lose a turning radius. Other than that, I can’t see any downside to the upgrade. I surmise that Deere has presented an extremely intriguing item here. One that arrangements with huge numbers of the alternate routes of a reduced sub tractor while keeping up a generally little impression. This tractor fits exceptionally well on the general line of the minimal Deere tractor.
