Store the mower deck on a pallet. The mower blades and spindles get pitted out and rust very quickly when sitting on the ground. Even when they are on concrete. I use the load and go ramps to put the deck on a pallet on blocks and cover with a tarp.
The JD 3rd function on the 120R loader on my 2025R are much more integrated. Valve is under floor board with the other valves. Hyd lines on the loader are hard.
I have a stack of pallets that I park the forks in the bottom and sit my bucket on top. I can easily drive into the tool I need. A local grave monument business sets free pallets out by their drive every week or two.
my wife and i have been living almost the same Dream for over 40 years now. planting tree and gardening i think it's called the good life been through a couple tractors scaling up and scaling down nice tractor you have we just ordered last one week just like it now wanting to board horses thought the 1025r would be just right for all of our tasks and should work good getting in the barn to clean the stalls a little machine with a big attitude enjoy wish you and your family all the best also enjoyed your video
Bought mine last year and I love it. l liked when you gave thanks to the lord.
Always! Thanks for watching
I like your description of your goals for the property and the gratitude you expressed. Heartwarming.
I recently bought a 1025 with a backhoe separately and plan on taking roots out piece by piece, then leveling out the property to start a garden
We have really been happy with ours! Had it about a year now. You would like the load and go brackets for the mower deck especially when it comes time to service the mower deck. The thing I really like about the 1025R when you have the drive over mower deck is how fast and easy it is to reconfigure for different tasks. I mow my grass and then quickly drop the mower deck and use a box blade to prep a small dirt oval race track for RC cars.
This is great feedback! Will look into it
mine is getting delivered tomorrow. I have about 5 acres and 3 of it is overgrown. It would have been easy to spend a lot of money i didn't have. Ended up with 60 inch mower, rotary cutter, and loader for now. Great information thanks alot.
Nice!
@@CoramDeoFarm any tricks to the rate of drop dial? I don't understand it and can't find a good explanation 😕
@@johnrader9912 husband says he doesn’t notice a change on the dial either
Great video! Thanks. Ours is coming next week. Super stoked!
Awesome! We are still very happy with it ☺️
We've had one for 2 years now, been a great machine.
Awesome to hear!
Really interesting. I've never been in the market for a tractor of any kind and I've sometimes questioned if one would be really needed on a small farm. I can see how this will be very helpful for you and that you have a good understanding of its workings and potential. :) Another good video.
Super helpful!
I’ve had a 1026 R since 2012. I’m a heavy equipment operator. It takes a little time to get used to it with the little tractor that I call a souped up lawnmower can really get the job done if you know what your doing.
For what it's worth I work for a jd dealership in s TX. I bought a 1025R about 5 months ago (already have over 100 hrs on it) and installed my own 3rd function valve over my lunch breaks. While I did have to take most of the operators station apart only took me about 5 hours and was my first install. JD third function. Just wait. The machine is a real back saver.
I would advise you to buy the after market adapter for your lawn mower. This way you can use your bucket hoist to pick up your belly mower. No manual physical use of your own. Just the tractor. $ well spent. You can store the mower upright. Easy way clean, work on deck and change or sharpen blades.
I’m really enjoying mine. A few complaints:
Wish the loader capacity was higher. My front forks max-out too often. I probably should have bought the 36”x3” forks rather than the 42”x4” forks. The Titan 42” forks with the headache bar is 300 lbs. so that cuts into the total lifting capacity.
Hydraulic flow rate limits it to single function at a time; can’t really lift and curl the loader at the same time for instance which is jerky and not smooth. I’m pondering upgrading the hydraulic flow pump to a higher rate which voids the warranty, but mine’s a 2016 so that’s moot anyways. Might get bigger front hydraulic cylinders to lift more. Both are $2k for parts alone.
Attaching the tiller’s PTO is a bear
I have to jump the seat switch to use my rear 3-point chipper off the tractor. That’s counterintuitive. Weird huh?
Diesel is ridiculously expensive!
The tractor is not as maneuverable or as fast as a zero turn mower, but it works. I wish there was an easy attachment for collecting grass clippings.
I wish the loader tilted for grading. Most rear blades don’t tilt either.
Otherwise it’s a real game changer!
Crazy to think I’m watching this at 3AM and I find out you’re located 7 minutes from me! That’s crazy!!
That’s awesome!!
very cool. i will save this as my guide for when i buy a John Deere!
Ha!
How much did you pay for.,just for the tractor?
@@tonilemus2365 the base price is on John Deere’s website ☺️
@@CoramDeoFarm thanks
Love the RC Sproul shirt! Need that stat
Yes! He was the best!
Check that battery bro. It shouldn’t be that weak. (Referring to the beginning of the video).
I’ve got the 2022 1025r and I LOVE it so far.
The kids love it too
Great video budd
Enjoyed your video from Owasso 👍
Thank you!
If you press a switch and it changes what is operated by your loader scv….in order to operate a hydraulic function…then you have a diverter kit. That looks like an electrical solenoid to divert flow. If you can operate the third function at the same time as all of your normal SCV operation….that’s a true third function. Diverter systems are actually a lot better for this machine because it has such low flow…that it doesn’t do more than one function, at a time, very well. It’s a different story on larger machines with considerably more flow volume and speed. Also, there are really no loader augers that work with the super slow 4gpm flow rate of a 1025R. They are also very heavy and it will be hard for the tractor to lift the auger up while is drilling down. Like you, my pallet forks are used a ton. The pallet forks and my grapple are the most used tools I have. I just sold my MMM. It’s just not a good value. For you, I think it’s awesome. The mower deck is very deep and will handle all that stuff with ease. The 60D is awesome because you can use wheel spacers with it. Get the Mulch kit for it. It actually cuts better and chips stuff up extremely small.
This is what they installed - is a true third function as far as I can read. www.wrlonginc.com/vk12-vk20. Says you can operate loader functions at the same time. I have the rocker switch now and while I don't have anything yet to use, I can hear it engage when I rock the switch. You are probably right about the auger - thought I saw a few tiny ones that would work and I've read terrible stories about PTO mounted augers - will probably just rent a machine for auger work at some point. Good point on the mulch kit - I was thinking about that when mowing the other day - tired of managing where the tall grass "shoots" every time I mow, especially as our farm grows - don't want to be shooting grass on top of the landscape fabric growing zones. Looks like out of stock at john deere right now.
First thing to understand! This is not an industrial piece of equipment! I have had mine for 7 years. It has done some pretty amazing things. It has also struggled to accomplish others. If you have the time to allow the machine to do the work, it will be a very good unit for you. I have the tiller, rake, forks, backhoe and mower deck. The capacity of the loader is probably best in its class. I think it will serve you very well.
NE Oklahoma? I just bought some land near Chandler, and looking to get my first tractor soon.
Yep! NE
when not want buy 1025R have one have had several years if the land is steep, there is not a tractor won't roll over, if have huge fields, if don't mind taking longer, nice tractor have for gardens, digging around the house
A tractor is Like a Swiss Knife In my opinion.!!! It just does alot of things.!!!
FYI You need every impliment you can get lol i put eveything on pallets. I put all my stuff on stall mats.
That was awesome. I like to have one of those tractor stuff. I only have a half an acre. There’s so much work that I can use. I’m building the greenhouse. I just build a garden raised bed garden with wires on it. Sound your channel your channel sorry the spelling and some of the stuff being right. I’m not a very good speller, God bless watching people that are Christians that love God loves family on their TH-cam channel
thank you!
Great video. How do you like the RT3049? Thinking about getting one.
Happy so far!
Damn Speeco for insisting on that stupid red. I bought the iMatch because I'm not doing it... Even the black would have been perfectly fine.
Nope.
Red.
Also, look to the single point disconnect for future awesomeness.
It won't incorporate your diverter connection, just the factory four - but if you stow the unecessary functions when not in use - that single point connection is a godsend.
I have a 1025R w/o the belly mower. I mow over 4 acres and I use a ZTR. Mows faster and better and it's close to the price of your belly mower.
You have forks. Put the mower deck in a stack of pallets to keep it drier.
Good thinking
R.C.!
Yes!!
🤛👍🙏😎🦅🇺🇸
#HealourLand God bless you all & thank you 2Chronicles 7:14 Have a wonderful 4th of July
If you can’t find pallets, make them from scratch
U going get lazzie
Thank you for your helpful comments
When you use it it makes u lazzie
Seems to me the John Deere dealer you work with are a bunch of clowns.....
U spend a lot of money
1/4 of your thumbnails are green....
Buy yanmar 325 much better tractor.
No, another fanboy channel
Lol our channel is hardly a John Deere fanboy channel
Garbage! Had one and what a heap of crap!
Yep, garbage, be glade to give you scrap metal price for it !
You could use the loader and bucket to bury that annoying pink blob
No thanks. I like my wife
@@CoramDeoFarm Bwahahahahaha. LOL! TH-cam is such a mixed bag for comments. On one side you build community and get a following and develop an income stream. On the other side you get a lot of ridiculous garbage comments to weed through and roll your eyes at. You got a few of those on this video. So glad you can keep your sense of humor about the latter. Always just brush 'em off. All the best to you. I enjoy your channel. :)
@@bethhubbs9937 he sounds like a gem
