Read articles →A four-year owner check-in from someone who uses this tractor regularly, not a dealer pitch. Covers what broke (a turnbuckle, a battery under four years old), a notable finding that the hydraulic pressure was factory-set low at 1600 PSI and he bumped it to 2200, and a brief 1023E-vs-1025R comparison. Thin on specs and working footage, but useful for owners curious about long-term reliability and small wear items.
An owner-operator doing an annual personal review of his own machine, so expect candid but anecdotal impressions rather than systematic testing.
The owner's battery lasted less than four years, which he found disappointing compared to other Strongbox batteries that lasted 6 to 14 years.
It was factory-set at 1600 PSI for about three years, which the owner considered low, especially when using forks on the loader.
The 1023E has the same hydraulic pressure, flow rate, lift capacity, and available decks, but lacks tilt wheel and other extra features the 1025R has.
Oil change, all filters, hydraulic fluid change, radiator fluid, and greasing all spots that need it, similar to the work done at 200 hours.
