Read articles →An owner's verbal impressions after 60 hours of real use on a 1023E bought with the loader and belly mower package. He covers mowing performance and scalping tendencies, the quick-connect deck's real-world frustrations versus the dealer demo, power limitations on hills, rough ride compared to the 1025R, and a frank 8/10 overall rating. No footage, just talk. Best for buyers weighing the 1023E for mixed light-duty tasks.
An owner-operator sharing candid first-hand impressions from their own property, with no apparent dealership affiliation.
On flat ground it does really well, but the wide deck can cause scalping if the yard is not perfectly level.
It works great in theory but is a pain with frequent disconnects. You must release hydraulic line pressure or use a hammer to recouple some lines.
It is a little weak. Going up a hill with the belly mower blades engaged puts noticeable strain on the tractor.
The 1023E rides rough, while the 1025R was supposed to have better suspension, though it cost about 2,700 dollars more.
