The New Holland Workmaster is probably the most tractor you can get for the money among the "name brands" in the tractor market today. #NewHolland #JohnDeere #Kubota
I have a new Holland tc35 absolutely love it I looked at a few kubotas but the treadle pedal was the biggest down fall I have a bad right ankle and couldn’t use that pedal at all I have a couple neighbors that have a jd the other a kubota and My tractor will out lift them all day long plus what is really nice is that NH lifts higher. Great choice and enjoy your new tractor
Literally people spend all day on Kubotas no issues....... with brakes or the dreaded pedal. It all comes down to preference, good pick going to help you greatly. My choice was reliability and family history of decades of Kubota ownership. Also dealer support literally 4 dealers within 10 miles vs New Holland.
Nice review Cuz. I bought the RK55 and I absolutely love it. However, i just keep reading horror stories about support. That said, i really think the support varies by location. I think you made a good decision, New Holland has been around for a long time and will be for years to come. Hope it serves you well
Great review on the reason to select the New Holland. I have always wanted a green tractor but never selected one for the reasons you have covered. Enjoy the new machine.
New Holland is the Best Buy I shopped for two years Kubotas and John Deere were in the $22,000 to $24,000 range I walked into new Holland dealer $15,500 with loader TC 30 10 years ago great tractor.
Great video and a reminder that there is a tractor (and brand) out there for all of us. I wanted a Kubota; but bought a Kioti instead for many THOUSANDS less. Also way better on the spec sheet. I didn't settle for my Kioti, it won out on price/features/power/etc. I like ALL tractors; Kubota's included. But I like my budget too. It all comes down to getting a great tool for a great price. JD and Kubota are like Mercedes and BMW. I question if they are "better" but the folks selling them sure do think they are. i didn't look at the New Holland's because of lack of dealers around me but sure looks like a well build machine. You just need some more HP and a cab! (Don't you love how others spend your money!). 😂👍🏼. Enjoying the channel!
I'm looking at a Massey 1835E but not noticing kioti are any cheaper than the others. I notice they have great packages but worry about the parts availability.
@@farmall1farmall132 They have been in business for a long time and I have never had an issue. I don’t like the packages because it seems to all be light duty equipment. Been really happy with the Kioti brand, but would love a Deere, Kubota or anything reasonably priced with good support. Good luck!!
@@JoeTheFarmer you're right implements are light and not heavy duty I typically would get post hole digger and bush hog they seem to be ok. I like the Massey because everything is readily accessable. I wish it had rear remotes as standard but they don't.
@@farmall1farmall132 Get the Massey-Ferguson 1835e the loaders are the ABSOLUTE BEST & The Transmissions are "Bullet-proof". The engines ARE rebuilable ( Kubogy 's) are "through away block's".
I have nothing against John Deere or Kubota but I prefer the New Holland . I also agree that with enough time the sheet metal will scratch, dent and rust, in comparison to the plastic hood and fenders that will dry out ,crack and break to the point of falling off the tractor. That’s the reason I now have a New Holland and not a Deere. If I didn’t see the tractor as a long term investment but rather something I traded in every few years like a car or truck plastic would be fine. However, in fifty years from now it might be harder for my son to find new plastic fenders than it would be to repainting the metal fenders.
Hi old Mate, I'm glad you did the leg work for me. I wanted to know more about the other brands to see the features they had. I have made my choice of new tractors already but was having aa slight doubt but not anymore. I made the right choice. I ordered the TYM 265 with loader/backhoe combo. The thing that was bothering me was the power steering ram up in front of the front Diff & being a low tractor would make it a target for what ever flicks up into it but looking at your review virtually all are like that accept the Kubota (it has guards around the ram) but I dumped Kubota (JD also has only 1 brake) for a different reason and that is No turning brakes & all the other features you mentioned missing. The TYM has it all standard. I think you made a good choice there too, the New Holland are good tractors, we have one of those as well which I'm restoring at the moment to like brand new, no pollution B/S being 35 horse, but this one is a 1.7 litre Shuburu motor in it and quiet it is too. Happy Tractoring mate from Australia.
The E series is John Deere’s economy and entry level tractor. Most of these features are offered in the R series. Like you mentioned it is a more expensive tractor. Any how enjoy your new machine, it’s a nice tractor.
Nice video! One thing I will say about the 3 series John Deere, I own one, and I Mow with it, and I have found that I have zero issues pushing the hydrostatic forward or reverse, usually when mowing or running my box blade I twist a little and run forward and reverse with my left foot. I looked at new Holland myself, but there’s no dealer within a reasonable distance so I went with my 3025e and I am happy with it. I’m happy for you and your new tractor 👍🏻
I had the JD 2305 and then the 1025r. The 1025r was loaded out with options and a backhoe. 2 years ago, I traded it in for a 3025e. I found out after years of owning tractors, I don't need lots of bells and whistles. I put ballast in the tires on the 3025e. It does a great job and I paid 18000 out the door. It also helps that there are 2 JD dealers within 30 minutes!
Also no hydraulic system are as smooth as the John Deere period. All of these things on paper on what tractors will do are very misleading. If you talk to most people or big time farmers that have owned most all models they all tell me the same thing and that is they say when you go to hooking up equipment and in the field USE that hands down the John Deere will outperform any other tractor on the market when you are comparing apples to apples. Just ask around.
The one thing about the way New Holland states their lifting on the FEL is at the pins, 1600lbs. I believe the same for the rear 3 point as well. Where JD and Kubota measures some thing like 24" out, which is a more realistic way of determining how much you can lift that is probably why it appears the New Holland lifts more. With that said though, it wouldn't surprise me if the New Holland can lift more still. Very nice tractor you have there.
My New Holland owners manual lists the capacity at the pins and also out at the end of the bucket. I found that the capacity at the set distance from the pins on the NH was equivalent to the capacity at the pins on the JD or Kubota.
I did a lot of tractor comparison. You get what you pay for. I bought a Kubota ,you can't kill that engine. Look up used prices they hold up better than most. It's all built by Kubota. I also looked at the New Holland , think made in India, and parts are likely Source from a multiple countries and manufacturers. New Holland is more refined and more finished for sure. You do get used to the treadle pedal . Not as bad as you make sound, although I agree with the breaks and a ridiculous location. I would have preferred the traditional pedal setup but it's something you get used to.
I as a retired farmer and heavy diesel mechanic. ( CAT&CUMMINGS ) I personally think you used good judgment. Most people don't realize practically all compact and subcompack tractors are oriental in orgin and assembled if your lucky assembled here. The only thing JD&KUBOTA have going for them is dealer network. Comparing specs is the best way to make a good decision.
I'm new to any brand tractor - this will be my 1st. tractor and I've been considering the Workmaster 25. When buying different attachments can you buy any brand or do you have to buy New Holland - snowblowers in particular, but others as well. And - did you look at Kioti? thanks for the help.
I needed a tractor that could lift a 1500 lb ibc totes full of firewood. Every channel was saying a compact tractor couldn't do it. The Workmaster 25 lifted it right up,high enough to stack them. Going to install a third function for a grapple bucket. Bets part is the 25 HP is emission free.
I agree on tredal control on Kabota. I like John Deere to. But I don't know of any New Holland dealers near me. Plus are the made by Lx tractors? Who makes the engines? All companies point out stuff like that. But yet nobody makes a whole tractor themselves. I would need a cup holder to.
I do not know what john deer dealer you went to, but it comes standard with a 3 point stabilizer I bought 3025 3 months ago and it is a beast of a tractor.
I just got to sit on and run for a day a Mahindra. I was impressed. My father in-law just bought a tiny one, I told him not to sell it unless he talks to me first. We own several John Deere, 2 4440s, 2 2940s, a 2040, a 6400 with loader. I hate, I mean hate to work on them! We also have 2 Hestons, a kubota, a Ford 7600, international 464, and a just acquired new holland 4020. Easy maintenance and almost no probs on all but the deere’s. The old hestons are bulletproof, the ford and kubota second. So far the newer New Holland is doing well
Silly question. Can you pull a 6 foot box blade well, with the Workmaster 25? Like everyone else budget allows for this size tractor, but my hardest work will be my 2 mile driveway. A 6 foot box will best suit the job. The tractor is all I need. Lol.
Interesting video, I own a Kubota 3301 and bought it new approximately three years ago. I have had no problems with the treble-peddle or the break on the same side while clearing our 5.5 acres. My foot never became tired either as you can actually rest it on the side of the pedal. Not to say New Holland tractors are not good tractors. I noticed in your video after this one was made that you are now dissatisfied with your New Holland and the lack of power. That's unfortunate.
You are going to be happy with it I reckon, I think you should make a slip over ram shaft stop so you can raise the loader to the up most position so you can work under it safely, cat use them on their Loader back hoe as a lock out. Make sure you lube the skidder bucket latches offen as lack of use does them no favers.
I think whatever tractor YOU buy YOU will be happy with it. I personally find no interest in the new holland but I have nothing against them it's just MY opinion. I am a Massey Ferguson guy because thats what I like and grew up on even though I also have a Kubota and a JD 1023 for mowing. My utility tractor is a Massey Ferguson so buy what YOU like and enjoy it.
I just bought a kubota L2501 hydro I though I wouldn't like the pedal but I love it. I don't know anybody that puts their whole boot on the peddle and uses it like a rocker. the kubota L series is bare bones but it "feels" like a tractor to me. I'm just not a man that's impressed with features. congrats on the tractor! I know the head ache of going back and forth between brands because there alot of money and you want be pleased.
I was pricing the smaller tractors last year and a surprise to me the kubota was one of the cheaper ones. I was expecting it to be on the higher end. JD was way higher then Kioti, NH, Kubota, Massey in that order.
Did you ask the your dealer about a mower deck? Went and looked at a work master 25 today. I love the tractor, but my dealer said there’s currently no mower deck option for the 25. I’d have to go up to a 35 to get a mower deck. What the hell is the mid pto for if I can’t get a mower deck. Back to square one for my tractor search.
New Holland Tractors are Great very well made. Stylish and look good. I own a 2008 New Holland TN70A 70hp with loader 1500hrs I bought a few years ago for $15 thousand and looks almost new. It's large and love it. The Bare-Co Canopies are great, as well. Get one wide enough so it will go out close to the edge of the fenders or little beyond. Get the mounting kit that will allow you mount the brackets on the outsides of ROPS that way the canopy will sit low and keep sun off of you. They are great and very well made. I bought the senior the largest they make and I am very happy how it fits. They recommend the next size down for my size tractor. I went up a size.... 1:02
The alliminum rear if that's where the hydraulic oil is it might cool the oil faster.maybe cheaper than an oil cooler. The price of the tractors I believe goes way deeper than being proud of there equipment.
Nice machine, but kind of cramped. I know you’ve already bought, but I suggest you go look at a Kioti. I don’t think they have a standard mid PTO, but 2 sets of rear remotes, extensions for the 3 Point hitch. More room on the operating station, more comfortable loader controls. IMHO. Enjoy your new machine!
Also I have an older TC 26, very similar to your tractor. It has the dreaded treadle for forward and reverse. I do some debris removal from roads with a lot of forward and reverse. Once it took three hours. No issues with comfort. But, the brake pedals are right above the treadle, so you can’t drag a brake for a shorter turn radius. Now THATS really dumb. Some engineer who has never been on a tractor. ,
I prefer gear drive shuttle shift but you can’t get that on a 3E JD either I don’t believe. I’m currently looking at a Workmaster 33 and will probably go with it. I like the looks of all 3 but looks aren’t everything.
They are nice tractors, no good New Holland dealers near me. I have an L3901 Kubota. If I had to do it over again, I would have bought a skid steer. I am now buying a skid steer too.
The NH sub compact is O.K. (actually its an LS tractor) when they are new . The problem with them (and LS) is long term reliability. The Workmaster 25 will not hold up as well as your old NH tractor. I'm not advocating any specific brand over another, but I've done a lot of research on tractors and the small sized NH & LS have a generally bad rep for long term reliability. You are really going to haver to stay on top of maintenance for your new baby. It is not going to take the abuse of your old NH.
Gotta keep in mind that the $difference between the workmaster 25 and the JD 3033r is mostly in the horsepower jump and premium features.You are not comparing apples to apples. The JD 3r series don't start till 33 hp also available in 39,46 hp. The 3r series is in a different class. Its a premium tractor like the Boomer.There is $4- 5,ooo difference between the 3039R compared to 3046r. I agree that I wouldn't want a JD e series based purely on the permanent loader.
I cannot quite afford the Ford. Do you think that the RK25 is a good tractor for a 5 acre mini farm. I am just going to be using it to remove manure, gardening, brush hogging, moving pig shelters, and things like that.
If you have LS dealer close take a look at them. I believe New Holland are built by LS and very close to being the same on the smaller tractors. Look at tractorbynet forum on the LS and New Holland sections. Happy tractor hunting.
RK is a rebranded TYM. Yanmar engines have a great reputation, same engine that is in a lot of Deere products. If you like the RK, go for it buddy. They are ALL good tractors now; but dealer support is still important. If you have a TYM dealer close they could always work on the RK (just not under warranty I believe). Good luck!
Thanks a lot for uploading. This loader to European eyes looks like the loaders built in the seventies. Nowadays hydraulic lines run internally. It is brand new and the paint where the ropes folds down is already rubbed off. Recently a lot of small tractors have been imported from India to where I live. They look more modern than this machine. Kubota sells different machines in Europe than in the USA. Better equipped and more expensive. They also don’t sell their loaders in Europe. How come the US excels in building aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines and all the rest is second rate? Most of US machinery would be unsellable in Europe.
Although I can’t stand JD, you could have saved even more by buying direct from LS as LS manufactures those tractors for New Holland... the one up side is that you will have New Holland service and support with your work master.
Yea I got the actual quote today..I thought the 23,400 was OTD..Nope it was 27,265..Thats HST with Tax and fees and insurance payments around 454 a month..A bit much I think for around the house.
Good video, and I went through the same process myself. I ended up buying the Deere 3025D. It's a new model, so I get that they aren't readily available for test drive. I would like to point out though, that it outperforms both the 3025E and the New Holland in every category I could find. Higher 3 pt and loader lift capacities, more horsepower, higher hydraulic flow. the argument of the HST vs the gear drive tells people you need a HST for loader work.absolutely not true. I've never driven a tractor prior to buying one and the gear drive is operable without a second thought within a few hours of seat time. what steered you away from the "D"?
Hey man I am looking at buying the 25s, what do you think about the warranty, did you buy it? I was thinking about purchasing the four-year warranty with this
Nope I think the 2 year bumper to bumper and then 4 more years of powertrain is good enough for me. That comes standard with new ones. If you're buying used, then yes an extended warranty might be a good idea.
I think the biggest thing you're doing here is you're comparing the 3025Eand the E series is an economy tractor so you're not going to get a lot of features because it's a lower priced economy tractor however if you compare that New Holland to the 3039R it'll blow that New Holland tractor out of the water
How much was that New Holland after tax out the door? Another TH-camr said he paid $24,000 for a John Deere 3025D with loader, I've been looking for a tractor about the size of the John Deere 3025D but I'm not sure about the price.
$24k? Jesus. My dealer sells the 3025D with loader for $18,100. This New Holland was $19,200, but, it has the hydro trans and all the options you see here that Deere doesn't have.
OFFRD $19,200 out the door with the front loader attachment? That's seems like a great deal. When I build them (holland or Deere) on their website it always throws the loader in as another $4,000 plus on top of base?
Have you ever seen a plastic/fiberglass/polymer hood that wasn't cracked? I haven't. In fact, the New Holland we traded on this one had a cracked hood. That won't happen on this one.
Nice review and I do agree you get a lot of tractor for the money with the WM25. I used to sell NH tractors and the specs are definitely compelling. Plus it has a non emission Mitsubishi engine which is good for efficiency and reliability. Thanks for sharing.
@@RicardiacAttack405 Haven't had much experience with that particular model. Has a Mitsubishi engine which is a plus. New Holland eliminated that model a few years go. I think just due to lack of sales for that particular size frame. The WM25 would be the nearest replacement (slightly larger frame).
Seems like John Deere is loosing touch with their customer base. More and more people are choosing not to use them any more. And the people that are using are suing to be able to actually use them. They need to do some soul searching as a company.
New Holland looks great on paper, but if you join a Néw Holland forum all you hear is how many problems they have. I’m leaning towards the JD for the long haul.
I know I may be the exception not the rule, but 15 years with 2 different new Holland's, no issues. Average about 100 hours a year each, which I know also isn't much compared to some
I have a new Holland tc35 absolutely love it I looked at a few kubotas but the treadle pedal was the biggest down fall I have a bad right ankle and couldn’t use that pedal at all I have a couple neighbors that have a jd the other a kubota and My tractor will out lift them all day long plus what is really nice is that NH lifts higher.

It all comes down to preference, good pick going to help you greatly.
My choice was reliability and family history of decades of Kubota ownership. Also dealer support literally 4 dealers within 10 miles vs New Holland.
I really appreciate the unadulterated walk through! I bought my W.M.25 for 18000.00, it's going to aide me for years.
Congrats on your new tractor, i think theres pros and cons to all the diff manufacturers
The 3025 is supposedly an “economy” level machine that is absolute bare bones. A lot of JD people out there even say they would never buy it.
Nice review Cuz. I bought the RK55 and I absolutely love it. However, i just keep reading horror stories about support. That said, i really think the support varies by location.

I just bought this tractor today. It is getting delivered next week. I am looking forward to using it on my homestead.
Can you tell me about steel building behind you in this video? BT W you helped me with my tractor selection.
What Kubota model were you comparing to when you say the brake pedal is on the right? The Lx2610 (25hp) model has the split brake pedal on the left.
My brother's l3901 and our friends mx5600 have them there.

What about making the hood pivot forward?
I just hit 100 hrs on my LS MT125 which is the same as the new Holland. It’s been great so far we’ve used it for multiple jobs on our farm
Deere told me the can add cruise control for $300.
Thanks for giving me something else to consider.
You are going to be happy with it I reckon, I think you should make a slip over ram shaft stop so you can raise the loader to the up most position so you can work under it safely, cat use them on their Loader back hoe as a lock out. Make sure you lube the skidder bucket latches offen as lack of use does them no favers.
Hi, my workmate needs to have its hand/parkbrake adjusted, is this an easy job, please?
Did you look at the Branson 2515 tractor?
Thanks for the Video very helpful...
I think whatever tractor YOU buy YOU will be happy with it. I personally find no interest in the new holland but I have nothing against them it's just MY opinion. I am a Massey Ferguson guy because thats what I like and grew up on even though I also have a Kubota and a JD 1023 for mowing. My utility tractor is a Massey Ferguson so buy what YOU like and enjoy it.
You are going to be shocked at just how good that tractor is going to be. I have 2 LS tractors and love them.
Good video. Don't trust the look numbers that you hear from the dealers. They manipulate those numbers.
I just bought a kubota L2501 hydro I though I wouldn't like the pedal but I love it. I don't know anybody that puts their whole boot on the peddle and uses it like a rocker. the kubota L series is bare bones but it "feels" like a tractor to me. I'm just not a man that's impressed with features. congrats on the tractor! I know the head ache of going back and forth between brands because there alot of money and you want be pleased.
What tractor did you trade for this
i spend 4 to 6 hours on my kubota never had problems with my paddle or right knee
Great info !!
I was pricing the smaller tractors last year and a surprise to me the kubota was one of the cheaper ones. I was expecting it to be on the higher end. JD was way higher then Kioti, NH, Kubota, Massey in that order.
Did you ask the your dealer about a mower deck? Went and looked at a work master 25 today. I love the tractor, but my dealer said there’s currently no mower deck option for the 25. I’d have to go up to a 35 to get a mower deck. What the hell is the mid pto for if I can’t get a mower deck. Back to square one for my tractor search.
Wow. I’m just starting my research. Mower deck is required
Snow blower.
New Holland Tractors are Great very well made. Stylish and look good. I own a 2008 New Holland TN70A 70hp with loader 1500hrs I bought a few years ago for $15 thousand and looks almost new. It's large and love it. The Bare-Co Canopies are great, as well. Get one wide enough so it will go out close to the edge of the fenders or little beyond. Get the mounting kit that will allow you mount the brackets on the outsides of ROPS that way the canopy will sit low and keep sun off of you. They are great and very well made. I bought the senior the largest they make and I am very happy how it fits. They recommend the next size down for my size tractor. I went up a size.... 1:02
The alliminum rear if that's where the hydraulic oil is it might cool the oil faster.maybe cheaper than an oil cooler. The price of the tractors I believe goes way deeper than being proud of there equipment.
i have same tractor 2020 now having issues lots of white smoke and odd engine noises
Can you lift a round bale of hay with the wm25c
Nice machine, but kind of cramped. I know you’ve already bought, but I suggest you go look at a Kioti. I don’t think they have a standard
mid PTO, but 2 sets of rear remotes, extensions for the 3 Point hitch. More room on the operating station, more comfortable loader controls.
IMHO. Enjoy your new machine!
Looks good
Also I have an older TC 26, very similar to your tractor. It has the dreaded treadle for forward and reverse. I do some debris removal from roads with a lot of forward and reverse. Once it took three hours. No issues with comfort. But, the brake pedals are right above the treadle, so you can’t drag a brake for a shorter turn radius. Now THATS really dumb. Some engineer who has never been on a tractor.
,
I prefer gear drive shuttle shift but you can’t get that on a 3E JD either I don’t believe. I’m currently looking at a Workmaster 33 and will probably go with it. I like the looks of all 3 but looks aren’t everything.
I got kubota and love it!
They are nice tractors, no good New Holland dealers near me. I have an L3901 Kubota. If I had to do it over again, I would have bought a skid steer. I am now buying a skid steer too.
The NH sub compact is O.K. (actually its an LS tractor) when they are new . The problem with them (and LS) is long term reliability. The Workmaster 25 will not hold up as well as your old NH tractor. I'm not advocating any specific brand over another, but I've done a lot of research on tractors and the small sized NH & LS have a generally bad rep for long term reliability. You are really going to haver to stay on top of maintenance for your new baby. It is not going to take the abuse of your old NH.
How much did you pay for your 25 wm want to get one with backhoe
Gotta keep in mind that the $difference between the workmaster 25 and the JD 3033r is mostly in the horsepower jump and premium features.You are not comparing apples to apples. The JD 3r series don't start till 33 hp also available in 39,46 hp. The 3r series is in a different class. Its a premium tractor like the Boomer.There is $4- 5,ooo difference between the 3039R compared to 3046r. I agree that I wouldn't want a JD e series based purely on the permanent loader.
I think he compared it to the 3r because they had similar options, but price wise he said the workmaster is the same as an e series.
I cannot quite afford the Ford. Do you think that the RK25 is a good tractor for a 5 acre mini farm. I am just going to be using it to remove manure, gardening, brush hogging, moving pig shelters, and things like that.
I think RK makes a good product. They also do have good features for the money. Hopefully RK will be around to support those tractors for many years.
If you have LS dealer close take a look at them. I believe New Holland are built by LS and very close to being the same on the smaller tractors. Look at tractorbynet forum on the LS and New Holland sections. Happy tractor hunting.
RK is a rebranded TYM. Yanmar engines have a great reputation, same engine that is in a lot of Deere products. If you like the RK, go for it buddy. They are ALL good tractors now; but dealer support is still important. If you have a TYM dealer close they could always work on the RK (just not under warranty I believe). Good luck!
What happened to the rk?
Sharp!
Thanks a lot for uploading. This loader to European eyes looks like the loaders built in the seventies. Nowadays hydraulic lines run internally. It is brand new and the paint where the ropes folds down is already rubbed off. Recently a lot of small tractors have been imported from India to where I live. They look more modern than this machine.
Kubota sells different machines in Europe than in the USA. Better equipped and more expensive. They also don’t sell their loaders in Europe.
How come the US excels in building aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines and all the rest is second rate? Most of US machinery would be unsellable in Europe.
The loader lifts 1600 pounds which includes the loader weight.
I have the exact same tractor, just with the OEM label on it: "LS".
Although I can’t stand JD, you could have saved even more by buying direct from LS as LS manufactures those tractors for New Holland... the one up side is that you will have New Holland service and support with your work master.
Yea I got the actual quote today..I thought the 23,400 was OTD..Nope it was 27,265..Thats HST with Tax and fees and insurance payments around 454 a month..A bit much I think for around the house.
from a safety perspective never work under a raised bucket without some form of safety device activated. :)
Good video, and I went through the same process myself. I ended up buying the Deere 3025D. It's a new model, so I get that they aren't readily available for test drive. I would like to point out though, that it outperforms both the 3025E and the New Holland in every category I could find. Higher 3 pt and loader lift capacities, more horsepower, higher hydraulic flow. the argument of the HST vs the gear drive tells people you need a HST for loader work.absolutely not true. I've never driven a tractor prior to buying one and the gear drive is operable without a second thought within a few hours of seat time. what steered you away from the "D"?
Hey man I am looking at buying the 25s, what do you think about the warranty, did you buy it? I was thinking about purchasing the four-year warranty with this
Nope I think the 2 year bumper to bumper and then 4 more years of powertrain is good enough for me. That comes standard with new ones. If you're buying used, then yes an extended warranty might be a good idea.
I think the biggest thing you're doing here is you're comparing the 3025Eand the E series is an economy tractor so you're not going to get a lot of features because it's a lower priced economy tractor however if you compare that New Holland to the 3039R it'll blow that New Holland tractor out of the water
How do you get it to go faster mine I can walk faster than this one
4wd ?
How much was that New Holland after tax out the door? Another TH-camr said he paid $24,000 for a John Deere 3025D with loader, I've been looking for a tractor about the size of the John Deere 3025D but I'm not sure about the price.
$24k? Jesus. My dealer sells the 3025D with loader for $18,100. This New Holland was $19,200, but, it has the hydro trans and all the options you see here that Deere doesn't have.
@@4-LOW is 19,000 before tax or after? It's the tax that has me worried.
@@EagleTalons1 That's out the door.
OFFRD $19,200 out the door with the front loader attachment? That's seems like a great deal.
When I build them (holland or Deere) on their website it always throws the loader in as another $4,000 plus on top of base?
@@4-LOW What was the price difference with the manual trans?
Different strokes for different strokes but personally I like the tredal pedal design
I have been looking at the Branson 2015 H. Bad Boy has the same tractor as a 4025 H .
Cut off wheel and a piano hinge will solve the side panel issue.
What is the advantage of a metal hood vs a polymer hood ? The dents, paint scratches through the primer for the rust to start ?
Have you ever seen a plastic/fiberglass/polymer hood that wasn't cracked? I haven't. In fact, the New Holland we traded on this one had a cracked hood. That won't happen on this one.
More metal = more weight advantage
On your JD video you said you didn't want hydro because of the repair cost? Now you said you do 🤔
Should of got the LS version of the work master. It’s about 5K less for the same thing.
Nice tractor.
I like the cast iron.
the main thing ,cost a deer is to much money for the tractor and parts
Should have bought a Branson. 2200 lb lift cap. On 25 hp tractor
Still liking your tractor?
ECU failure cost one guy $ 4100 dollars. Factory support was shit as well.... so he says.
Nice review and I do agree you get a lot of tractor for the money with the WM25. I used to sell NH tractors and the specs are definitely compelling. Plus it has a non emission Mitsubishi engine which is good for efficiency and reliability. Thanks for sharing.
Would you consider the boomer 25 a reliable machine ?
@@RicardiacAttack405 Haven't had much experience with that particular model. Has a Mitsubishi engine which is a plus. New Holland eliminated that model a few years go. I think just due to lack of sales for that particular size frame. The WM25 would be the nearest replacement (slightly larger frame).
Seems like John Deere is loosing touch with their customer base. More and more people are choosing not to use them any more. And the people that are using are suing to be able to actually use them. They need to do some soul searching as a company.
Blue tractors all the way, I only buy blue tractors!
Check the Hinomoto HM255 with yanmar engine, a great tractor 2022
And FYI… John Deere’s electronics mostly are not user repairable,
I’ll stick with my Kubota thank you 🙏 😊
Did you not look at Massey Ferguson ?
Absolutely right on the Kubota don’t like both peddles on the same side and not having a split pedal either
You couldn't be talking about the Kubota lx2610, split brake pedal is on the left where is should be.
Easy battery access.
New holland used to be Ford tractors, so they are great 👍👌
I thought you really liked the rural king
New Holland looks great on paper, but if you join a Néw Holland forum all you hear is how many problems they have. I’m leaning towards the JD for the long haul.
I know I may be the exception not the rule, but 15 years with 2 different new Holland's, no issues. Average about 100 hours a year each, which I know also isn't much compared to some
