Read articles βThis is a hands-on 300-hour service walkthrough on an owner's 2018 1025R with loader and backhoe, using a Green Farm Parts service kit. It covers engine oil and filter, air filters, hydraulic fluid and filter, the notoriously messy under-floorboard fuel filter change (with a warning about fuel spilling everywhere), and greasing loader/backhoe fittings. Best for owners doing their own scheduled maintenance who want a real, warts-and-all account of the fuel filter pitfall.
An individual 1025R owner documenting his own maintenance routine, with a shout-out to the parts kit supplier he used, so expect a personal, unpolished perspective rather than a dealer or sponsor script.
It includes John Deere Highguard oil, engine oil filter, hydraulic fluid filter, two air filters, and four gallons of transmission hydraulic oil, but not the small fuel filter under the floorboard.
Clamp off both ends of the fuel line before removing the filter. Trying to just pinch the line with a finger does not work and causes fuel to spill everywhere.
The owner's manual for the 2018 model said full service after 200 hours, but the owner chose to service at 100 hours and again at 300 hours instead.
The video states you should grease loader fittings about every 10 to 12 hours, especially with heavy loader use, and the backhoe also has fittings needing grease.
