Read articles →This is a narrow how-to, not a general review: it shows step-by-step disassembly around the seat and console to reach the RIO (reverse implement option) switch on a 1025R, then zip-ties the pressure switch so the PTO stays powered in reverse. Tools needed, removal order, and reassembly are all shown, plus a caution that this defeats a safety feature. Useful only for owners specifically wanting to bypass that switch.
Posted by the PovertyPointCustoms channel, an owner doing a hands-on DIY modification on their own 1025R.
Remove seat bolts, the deck height adjustment, two Phillips screws, and the draft control knob to reach the pressure switch, then zip-tie it so it stays pressed in and the PTO keeps running in reverse.
You need a 3mm Allen key, a 10mm socket and ratchet, a large Phillips screwdriver, and a zip tie.
Yes, the video states it is very easily reversible by just removing the one cable tie used to hold the pressure switch in.
