Closes with a frank buy-now-or-wait recommendation and notes which third-party add-ons may face short-term compatibility issues. Best for current or prospective 1025R owners weighing a 2025 purchase or upgrade.
A hobbyist owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, presenting from a consumer rather than dealer perspective, though the host acknowledges he had not yet handled a 2025 model at time of recording.
A new tandem hydraulic pump replaces the single pump and divider valve, reducing parasitic loss in the hydraulic system, which is where the one PTO horsepower gain comes from.
It likely does not matter much. The horsepower gain may not be noticeable short term, and early 2025 models may have compatibility issues with some third-party kits, so sticking with 2024 or earlier is reasonable if you want to avoid that.
The six port is preferred for use with a grapple and any third function. It costs about $700 from the factory versus over $1,000 from a third-party vendor.
It moved from under the tractor to right beside the loader SCV under the joystick, making it a stackable valve that is much easier to install.
