He explains why cab pricing is tricky on 25-hp tractors, notes the ~2.5-hp AC draw, flags the backhoe incompatibility with the cab, and offers a rough price estimate. No pricing was available, so this is a first-look walkaround rather than a buying-decision deep-dive. Best for 1025R owners curious about what's new.
An owner-operator channel that regularly runs equipment on their own property, so expect practical, hands-on perspective with no apparent dealer affiliation, though Brock was viewing a pre-release unit at what appears to be a manufacturer or dealer event.
The 1M25 replaces the 1025R, redesigned around having a factory air-conditioned cab, while the 1R25 replaces the 2025R.
No, John Deere has not made the cab compatible with the backhoe, since turning the seat around for backhoe use would require redesigning the cab shape.
The air conditioner takes about two and a half horsepower off the engine, so a 25 horsepower tractor effectively offers about 22.5 horsepower when the AC runs.
No pricing was available at the time of the video; Brock estimates a cab adds roughly six to seven thousand dollars to the 1025R's price range.
