Read articles →This video follows an owner-operator family using their John Deere 3025E on real property tasks rather than reviewing the tractor itself. It walks through greasing fittings (explaining why and how often, per the manual's 10-hour interval), clearing a drainage ditch near a culvert, and doing dirt work to level a rutted lot for a future food plot. Best for current 3025E owners wanting practical maintenance and everyday-use context, not spec-focused shoppers.
Posted by the R-Ranch Adventures channel, an off-grid property owner sharing hands-on, everyday tractor use rather than a dealer or reviewer perspective.
The John Deere manual recommends lubing the grease fittings every 10 hours of operation, giving each point about three pumps of grease.
Without grease you get metal-to-metal contact that wears out bushings and pins, causing maintenance problems and looser, less secure attachments.
Any joint that swivels, bends, or moves up and down is likely to have a grease point, and the owner's manual shows their exact locations.
