It's light on hard specs and numbers but gives a genuine feel for the physical differences between the two machines. Best for early-stage shoppers weighing one against the other.
Posted by the TheRepublican channel, but the presenter identifies himself as a salesperson at Hill's Equipment dealership, so expect a sales-floor perspective rather than independent owner experience.
John Deere uses a pin-on style bucket, which is kind of exclusive to them, while Massey Ferguson uses a universal skid steer quick attach system.
Yes, at idle the Massey Ferguson has enough hydraulic flow to pick itself up, similar to the John Deere 1025R.
The John Deere 1025R was a 2018 model taken in on trade with about 151 hours, described as not overly used and a nice tractor.
The M series has light covers, a work light on the back, a phone charger, a different cluster, and an armrest, which many buyers want.
