The video walks through how the hydraulic dyno works and reports specific PTO horsepower numbers for each machine. Best for 1025R owners curious whether the factory spec holds up and whether a turbo kit meaningfully moves the needle.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-enthusiast channel focused on compact tractors, presenting itself as hobbyist-level rather than expert, with an informal and entertainment-oriented style.
It read about 22.5 PTO horsepower, higher than the factory rated 18 PTO horsepower for the stock 1025R.
The turbocharged 1038X dyno reading climbed from around 32 up to 37 to 39, well above the stock 1025R's 22.5 reading.
It uses an oil bath with a pump; a crank restricts oil flow to increase pressure, and a chart converts that pressure reading into horsepower at the PTO.
