Read articles →A dealership rep walks through a side-by-side spec comparison of the 1025R and 3025E, covering shared features (25hp Yanmar engine, hydrostatic trans), then concrete differences: weight (2,000 vs 2,600 lbs), wheelbase, lift capacity (758 vs 1,300+ lbs), hydraulic flow, fuel tank size, and 1025R-exclusive amenities like tilt steering, premium seat, and mid-mount PTO. No hands-on operation shown. Best for early-stage shoppers deciding between the two models.
Posted by the Hutson Inc channel, a John Deere dealership, so the presentation is sales-oriented and closes with an invitation to visit their stores.
The 3025E has a higher lift capacity at over 1,300 pounds behind the link arms, while the 1025R comes in at just 758 pounds.
It allows you to use the auto-connect mower deck, giving the tractor the potential to replace your mower as well.
Yes, both tie at 17.2 PTO horsepower, meaning implements run behind both tractors would be the same.
The 3025E weighs just over 2,600 pounds versus the 1025R's nearly 2,000 pounds, and has a wheelbase 5 inches longer.
