Hello! I have a 7 acre farm all mow able. I'm considering both the 2038 and 1025R. I can only afford one! Do you still have both tractors or did you change to the 1025R? John S. @@TheTractorFactor
@@johnscates7916 Hi John! I still have both tractors, I didn’t trade one in for the other. In terms of what you should get, there are a few things to consider: First, if your primary or only use for the tractor is mowing and winter snow removal, go with the 1025R. I use my 1025R on roughly 8 acres for mowing and it works great. For winter, a snowblower or plow will certainly get the job done too. If you choose to use rear PTO implements and a front end loader, they will perform well for small to medium tasks. Now, why would you get a 2038R? You live on a farm and farms typically require a larger, more powerful tractor. Having driven both, the 2038R is a completely different animal than the 1025R. It is much faster, larger and more powerful. If you’re planning on doing some serious front end loader work regularly and using demanding rear PTO implements, go with the 2038R, as the extra horsepower will be greatly beneficial. The 2038R also will give you a higher lift height for the 3-point hitch and the tires are larger and better suited for rough terrain. Just be careful if you’re mowing wet grass with the 2038R, the extra weight could tear it up.
Overall, since you live on a farm, I’d get the 2038R since 7 acres is a decent amount of land, and the 2038R is better suited for tasks 7 acres may present. Also, ask your Deere dealer and see what they have to say. And if you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
For about 8 acres worth of leaves on this property (not all 8 acres are completely covered in leaves), you will dump the TKV roughly 7-10 times. It can vary depending on the time of year and how many leaves have fallen though.
@@jeffborkowski Superior Tech makes both units, so if you have additional questions, you can contact them for more information. The MCS 20 uses the John Deere Power Flow. The TKV on the other hand, has a fan built into it, so no Power Flow is necessary and it also uses the rear PTO. Let me know if you have any other questions (or reach out to Superior Tech)!
@@jeffborkowski The TKV can be shipped to your John Deere dealership. Then, you can bring your tractor to the dealership, and they will handle installation.
Pretty much a waste of time…sorry. I have a cyclone rig ( Commander) that has it’s own 8hp motor and hitches to my quick hitch and have had it for 20 yrs and two tractors. Besides being much less expensive and easier to mount it holds30 to 40 bushels of leaves/grass. Takes up much less room for winter storage and is American made. Showing one “dump” for doing that huge lawn is disingenuous as well as not demonstrating turning radius ( challenge when doing more intricate lawns), ease or difficulty mounting and dismounting, and not mentioning that you have added front end counter weights ( cost ?). Yes, it’s another motor to take care of but I have just changed the oil and air filter yearly and it starts ( stored inside) on first pull every time. You need to talk about the challenge of reaching in to connect the PTO as well…( one will soon want to buy an expensive “quick” PTO assist unit $$). ck it. out !
Great! Do you like your 2038 better?
Thank you! And that is a tough question! I like both tractors equally, they excel at different tasks.

approximately how many fills to do a yard that size?

@@TheTractorFactor This is very helpful, thank you. Is there a difference between the Superior Tech MCS20 and this unit? or are they the same?

@@TheTractorFactor excellent thanks. now I just need to find someone near me to handle the install/setup

WOW! That thing really sucks....
Yes, fantastic suction!
