No PTO in reverse would be a deal killer, as I use mine more for brush clearing than field mowing. It seems like a constant starting and stopping of a PTO would do terrible wear and tear to all attachments, and the tractor.
I really appreciate that you are testing this machine, maybe they will bring you the hydrostatic version when it’s available. For all those saying it’s useless, try to remember how far we’ve come, the tractor is barely over 100 years old from its inception. As someone who’s tractors are a TO20 and MF 202, I get an awful lot of work done with what many would consider useless from these comments. The TO20 with a rear finish mower is my primary yard mower btw and then I trim with a JD riding mower.
The no live PTO is a complete deal breaker for me . I need better speed adjustment while still having full PTO speed and need it in reverse as well for snowblower . Also a little nitpicking but there are internal combustion engines that run backwards for reverse, 2 stroke snowmobiles do that.
Looking forward to seeing the 2nd and 3rd generation of these tractors. I had doubts about what a 1025 could do. You proved it is an awesome lil tractor. Can't wait to see you test these electric tractors fully.
Tim, your closing statements were spot on. I am excited to see the technology come in, there's a LOT about a battery-electric tractor that appeals to me. I also agree that this is an early gen-1, looking forward to seeing what they come up with next. Keep up the good work Tim and Christy!
I really appreciate your level of detail in this discussion and your understanding that this is a first generation product. I had a first generation electric car and there were similar types of concerns which have definitely been resolved in more recent electric cars. Now I work on a first-generation electric airplane, and we have to make similar compromises so we can get it out into the market and make it better later.
Excellent review as always. Love to see you put new equipment thru its paces.
Tim, Thank you for doing an honest review of this new type of equipment. With your testing better improvements can be developed. I agree with you, no PTO in reverse is a No Go for me too. Dan
Thanks Tim for keeping up with the new technologies with the new tractors. Keeps me appreciative and grateful for my 90 955 on how easy it is to work on, operate, and the reliability of mechanicals vs new tractors. With 407 hours it’s still in like new condition and will probably out live me.
I have watched your channel for years and like the way you tell it like it is ! I really like learning about the electric tractor too . God bless and keep the videos coming .
As a compact tractor owner, I really appreciate your informed observations. I, too, see potential with this new platform. It's interesting to watch the development of this tech into practice applications.
Fascinating machine. Thanks for showcasing it. The honest review and thoughtful discussion of the mechanics are great.
I really appreciate your observations, and the explanations of the “whys” behind the negative and positive aspects from a user standpoint. I like to know the reasons “why” something is the way it is. Thanks again for you candid observations, and continuing journey of the technology. Blessings.
I’m glad you are showing the tractor and not the politics of it in my opinion it’s a decent tractor and perfect fit for some operations but definitely not all operations
Impressive low noise level! That means the mower is well designed too. I can see this being great for municipal applications where noise could be an issue or also where zero turn mower’s are used around hospitals and nursing homes.
Love every episode! This one was quite interesting. Diesel electric tractors actually make a lot of sense, in some cases. Electric tractors have been a thing in certain applications for ages, I can see certain applications for electric compact tractors. Inherently lower maintenance, a huge plus to those not mechanically inclined.
Thanks Tim, I really enjoy your honesty about the tractor. There are always nay sayers when it comes to any change. Some people just do not handle it well. Remember the change from horse drawn farming to tractor farming? I am not old enough to have witnessed it, but it was real at the time. If the advantages show themselves, progress will happen. Thanks for doing what you do with an open mind. Cheers!
Wouldn't it be great to have an independent electric motor for the PTO .. maybe that's what the Gen 2 has
Really enjoying this content, and the objective presentation. Thanks.
Thank you for showing this off I really appreciate it I'm very interested in the machine I hope they improve it
