It then demonstrates loader removal and backhoe attachment on camera, including hydraulic coupling steps. Best for buyers narrowing down between these two models who want specifics before visiting a dealer.
Posted by the Koenig Equipment dealership channel, so this is a sales-oriented walkaround presented by a dealership staff member.
The 2025R is longer and taller, with 6 inches more wheelbase, about 2 inches more ground clearance, taller tires, 200 pounds more loader lift capacity, and about 150 pounds more three-point hitch lift capacity than the 1025R.
The 1025R is between $2,500 and $3,000 less expensive than the 2025R.
Press the loader frame down to lift the front of the tractor slightly, relieve hydraulic pressure, remove the hydraulic lines, then pull back, lift, and rotate the assembly off.
Remove the three-point hitch, release hydraulic pressure, uncouple and recouple the power beyond fittings, back the tractor up to drop the pins into the saddle, then install the pins. No tools are needed.
