The main practical content is a side-by-side loader lift-height comparison between the H120 and 120R, yielding actual tape-measure numbers. It also notes differences between the 260 and 260B backhoes and the 54D versus 60D deck. Best for 1025R owners curious about generational differences or the used-versus-new value question.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects and family life, so expect a casual, personal tone rather than a technical or dealer-driven perspective.
When measured to the main loader pin with a tape, the H120 had about a half inch to three quarter inch less lift height than the 120R.
The 260B looks significantly different and people say it is a step forward in being easier to operate compared to the older 260.
The video says you will not go wrong with an older used tractor since the powertrain can still feel as good as new with only minor wear items.
The 2014 1025R had about 400 hours on it when it was traded for the 2018 model.
