Nice clear safety tips. Good reminders. I have the 2025 and same sticking with the shifting. I just push the reverse a little to get it to move without forcing it.
Nice job. I got my 2025R in early September. I wish I had the same tires you do, but here in Hawai'i you get what you can. The only time I am in high gear, is when I am on the paved road heading down to the back end of my property. Thats what its designed for and it works well to get down the street.
Thanks for the comment, I do like these tires. They are good all around, traction for the hills and snow we get out here and don’t chop up the ground too much. Lucky for you to live in Hawaii, that is one beautiful place!
@@upnorthguy For sure. We don't worry about snow around these parts, its the deep (knee deep) mud, constant rain and very wet ground... and a tractor in those conditions just does bad things to lawns/yards!
Best thing to do in this environment is rear wheel spacers ( I did 1.5in) and fill the rear tires. Loosing the rear weight and loader will help too. While mowing the loaders weight is up high, not good.
I have a Kubota B2301. These long narrow tractors are very tippy! Liquid filled rear tires and rear wheel spacers should be mandatory. I added mine in the first 2 weeks of ownership. Put as much ballast as you can on the 3pt. Stay safe. If you tip your tractor, don’t try to start it unless your experienced. If the oil drains into a cylinder you could bend a connecting rod.
Thanks for the tips... I have a question not related to the tips though. You have a document case (I think) on the back of the seat. Where did you get it?

yep, I am doing the same thing to get it unstuck- thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the safety tips and sharing your story as I wait for my new 2022 John Deere 2025r
You're welcome and best of luck with the new JD!

Fyi- if you do decide to use the machine with the ROPS bar down, do not use the seat belt (you don't want to be tied to the machine in that scenario).
Good advice, thanks Darren!

Thanks for the comment and advice! I have been reading more about spacers, makes sense they would help prevent tipping.

Thanks John, great advice!

Jon- it came standard with the tractor, and is used for the owners manuals.
I have a 1025R and it to is hard to get in gear
Same. Pretty annoying
1025 is the same mechanically as the 2025. I just step on the fwd pedal and it loosens up, but agree it is a pain sometimes!
SPESK UP CANT HEAR U
Yeah, my earlier videos I didn't have the audio figured out. Using a wireless mic now and it makes a difference for sure in the volume.
