Read articles →This is a two-year ownership review from an actual owner of a 2017 1025R with 174.2 hours, not a dealer walkaround. He tours the operator controls in detail, critiques the loader's proprietary quick-attach and misclocked hydraulic hose fittings, discusses loader lift capacity with real ballast numbers, reviews the snowblower's quirks, and covers aftermarket additions like Ken's bolt-on hooks and a Heavy Hitch weight bracket. Best for buyers wanting long-term, nitty-gritty owner impressions rather than a first-look overview.
Posted by an individual owner-operator sharing hands-on, unsponsored impressions from personal use of his own tractor.
The loader will pick up a thousand pounds, though not to its highest height, and the owner stresses the rear of the tractor must be properly ballasted to avoid lifting the rear axle.
The hydraulic hose fittings are clocked incorrectly at zero degrees instead of 90 degrees, so the owner has to bend and twist the lines every time he hooks up the loader.
No, the owner's main complaint is that it uses a proprietary quick-attach system instead of a standard skid steer quick-attach.
The owner says he does not have fluid in his tires and never will, because it rocks the rim, is hard on tires, and makes changing a tire much harder.
