It reports specific breakout and rollback numbers for both machines, 1,110 vs. 788 lbs breakout, 1,300 vs. 930 lbs rollback, making it useful for shoppers who want hard loader figures, though the source is John Deere itself, so objectivity is limited.
Posted by the official John Deere channel, so the content is manufacturer-produced marketing with an inherent promotional bias toward John Deere products.
The 1025R exerts 1,110 pounds of breakout force, while the Kubota BX exerts 788 pounds in the same test fixture.
The 1025R provides more than 1,300 pounds of rollback force, compared to 930 pounds for the Kubota BX, a 394-pound difference.
Both tractors were secured in a test fixture with a digital readout, ballasted equally, and run at full throttle while engaging loader controls to measure breakout and rollback force.
