Read articles →A dealership salesperson walks through both tractors side by side, covering loader removal, single-point hydraulics, operator platform controls, and how the 2025R differs in size, ground clearance, and hydraulic lift capacity. Implement recommendations by size (rotary tillers, box blades, backhoe, mowing decks) and a three-way tire comparison add practical detail. Closes with a rough $2,500 price gap. Best for early-stage shoppers deciding between these two models.
Posted by a salesperson at Reynolds Farm Equipment dealership in Muncie, Indiana, so the tone is sales-oriented throughout.
The 2025R has more hydraulic flow, letting it lift almost 200 pounds more with the same loader, and it lifts a bit higher since the tractor stands taller.
The presenter estimates the 2025R costs roughly $2,500 more than the 1025R.
He recommends a 4-foot rotary cutter and generally only a 4-foot box blade, though a 5-foot lightweight blade is sometimes sold for the 1025R.
He says customers tend to like mowing with the 1025R better, and it is also more maneuverable in horse stalls or tight areas.
