It also shows the tractor dragging felled logs out of the woods using auto-idle. With only about 17.5 hours on the machine, it's more early-impressions than long-term test, best for shoppers comparing tractor sizes.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own property after upgrading tractors.
The 2032R has 63 lb-ft of torque versus 41 on the 1025R, about 56 percent more, and lifts over 1300 lbs on the three-point versus around 750 lbs on the 1025R.
The 38 horsepower engine has a turbo and requires EGR regen; he wanted to avoid that extra complexity since the 32 horsepower provides plenty of power for his needs.
Using auto-idle, the tractor dragged the logs out in high range with no issues and RPMs stayed low, only increasing power as needed.
The 2032R weighs around 2400 pounds compared to about 1550 pounds for the 1025R, roughly 50 percent heavier, which helps with plowing and pulling tasks.
