Read articles →This video runs an actual hydraulic flow meter through every port on the 1025R, rear power beyond, rear SCVs, front loader ports, and third-function kit, at multiple RPM levels and under load, producing real GPM numbers. The core finding: idle produces roughly 1 GPM versus ~3 GPM at full throttle, with a candid discussion of why the spec of 3.5 GPM wasn't quite reached. Best for 1025R owners curious about hydraulic capacity or loader sluggishness at low RPM.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, presenting hands-on experiments from their own property rather than a dealership or manufacturer perspective.
At idle the tractor only produces about 1 GPM of hydraulic flow, making the loader operate very slowly and inefficiently, and it lugs the engine more than running at higher RPM.
Under load at full throttle (about 3200 PTO RPM), the tractor produced just under 3 gallons per minute, slightly below the 3.5 GPM spec.
No, the test measured about 3 gallons per minute consistently at the power beyond, loader ports, third function valve, and rear remote.
