Features



Spend more time working and less time switching equipment with easy implement swaps

Drive-over deck makes connection simple Drive-over deck makes connection simple

1 Family Tractors are designed to minimize the time and effort needed to switch-out implements to accommodate different jobs.

 

  • AutoConnect Deck System: Connect a mid-mount mower deck to the tractor in less than 60 seconds without leaving the seat except to lock the gauge wheels.
    • Load-N-Go attachment: Easily move your 54D or 60D AutoConnect Deck with your John Deere Loader after it has been disconnected from the tractor with the Load-N-Go ramps.
  • Quik-Park™ Loader System: 120R Quik-Park™ Loaders are designed for easy mounting and removal in about a minute, with no tools needed.
  • Quik-Tatch™ front hitch: Save time switching front implements like a snow blower, rotary broom, or front blade without tools.
  • iMatch™ quick-hitch: Easily hookup Category 1 implements in seconds using three fixed points to back in and pick up rear implements without leaving the seat
    • Position control hitch: Set the rear hitch height and then consistently lower the hitch to the exact height every time, which is especially useful in grading and leveling applications.
  • Quik-Knect™ system: Connect power take-off (PTO)-driven implements quickly and with low physical effort. The Quik-Knect system utilizes one connector for the tractor’s PTO shaft and a designated connector for each implement which eliminates twisting and forcing splines to align.

 

1 Family Tractors can have up to three implements mounted simultaneously due to standard dual selective control valves (SCVs), allowing you to switch from using one implement to another without stopping to adjust. When a third SCV kit is added, the number of possible combinations is greatly increased.

Quickly and easily change speed and directions with Twin Touch foot controls and Hydrostatic transmission (HST)

Twin Touch™ pedals Twin Touch™ pedals

The hydrostatic transmission’s infinite ground speeds and direction of travel are both controlled with the Twin Touch foot pedals.

  • Ideal for loader or mower applications where frequent direction and speed changes are needed
  • No clutching for fast direction changes
  • Match the job at hand with infinite ground speeds

Excellent maneuverability and easy operation with standard four-wheel drive (4WD) and power steering

Standard 4WD and power steering make 1 Family Tractors excellent for mowing Standard 4WD and power steering make 1 Family Tractors excellent for mowing

Both 4WD and power steering are standard equipment on the 1 Family Tractors. This combination allows for excellent maneuverability and ease of operation.

  • Narrow overall width allows you to work in tight areas where most compact tractors just cannot fit. The 144.8-cm (57-in.) wheel base and 119.4 cm (47 in.) overall width gives great stability for all types of terrain.
  • Power steering means fewer turns of the steering wheel than manual steering, which is especially valuable when mowing around obstacles or during front loader work.
  • High horsepower-to-weight ratio makes the 1 Family Tractors a good choice for a variety of tasks. The overall tractor weight reduces ground compaction and makes them excellent for mowing.
  • The fully-independent power take-off (PTO) allows engaging and disengaging of the PTO without stopping tractor movement. This is important when driving across obstacles such as driveways while mowing.

One of the greatest customer concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

 

The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the ASAE Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

  • All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

 

NOTE: In the picture above, you see the bushing set. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

  • Upper bushing
    • Inside diameter: 0.76-0.77 in.
    • Outside diameter: 1.24-1.25 in.
  • Lower bushings
    • Inside diameter: 0.88 to 0.89 in.
    • Outside diameter: 1.43 to 1.44 in.
iMatch quick-coupler bushing kitiMatch quick-coupler bushing kit

This bushing kit is for use with Category 1 implements (ballast box) to make them function correctly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

Overall happy with my new 1025R. The new style seat and the way that the 54D auto connect deck latches are an upgrade from my 2015 model year 1025R. There are however things that need to be changed. The ROPS needs to be shorted to fit under a 7ft garage door which is standard height. The park brake needs to go back to being locked is place with the brake pedal and not the park brake lever. It is a tripping hazard to have the park brake lever on the right hand side next to the seat. It is too easy to catch your foot on the lever when getting on or off of the tractor on the right side. Bending the four wheel drive lever over instead of leaving it straight up was a step backwards. It is very inconvenient to have to reach down every time I want to engage the four wheel drive. I guess this is why a fellow is making and selling a lever that clamps on to the four drive lever to bring it back to along side of the seat. The inline fuel filter under the left side of the platform needs to have a shut off valve put in-between the fuel tank and the filter or better yet move the filter to a more accessible location to make it easier to change.

Works like a Swiss Army knife

5/5

Very versatile sub compact tractor with a tight turning radius that’s able to get in tight areas. You can install or remove the loader within a minute with the single point connection without getting off the tractor. The mid mount mower with the quick connect works as advertised however it is critical that it is adjusted correctly to work as advertised. I highly recommend if you’re not familiar with the proper adjustment procedures you have your dealer demonstrate and thoroughly go over it with you. Don’t assume it was properly set up and adjusted correctly at your dealer. (ask me how I know) Proper ballast is also very critical on these small tractors especially if doing any heavier loader work.

I wish I had purchased this 7 years ago when we moved to our new place. I have affectionately named my new tractor "Big John" and it's the best hired hand ever! It's an absolute pleasure to use and makes my work so much more enjoyable. I'm 71 years old and although I don't mind hard work, I'm slowing down just a bit and "Big John" makes life a lot easier. Best decision I ever made, just a little too late. Thanks!

I like the 1025 tractor as it has made much of the work needed is now allowed me to accomplish alot of the heavy jobs. I've move about 5 truck loads of tree mulch expeditiously over doing it by hand. I ha 200 feet plus of driveway up the hillside to the house with 2100 sqft of parking space. Which will be reworked. Using the tractor for awhile I would like to have outrigger stabilizers. Attach to each side of the anti rollover bar. Mechanical hand operrated slideout and pin it in place. Rear bucket implements have more robust ones. Weld on hooks should be standard equipped.

I bought the tractor to mow grass. I have a problem with uneven mow height. If I set it up as described by you, it scalps the lawn. I've set it up as described in a youtube video and it doesn't scalp but it cuts at uneven heights from one side to the other. I replaced an old ingersoll tractor with a 60" deck which cut very evenly and have gone back to that because of the problem. The best part of the JD is the ease of mower and loader removal and remounting. The ROPS is a pain, it's too high an has to be folded to get into my garage,

Stay away from John Deere!

2/5

I purchased a 1025R two years ago after buying a 10 acre ranch. I should have been advised by the salesman to go bigger. That being said, the 1025R does what I need, when it isn't broken down. This thing has been in the shop or repaired by me no less than 10 times with just over 200 hours on it. Everything from little things like belts to the iron cast rear that supports the three point. The cast iron broke on this thing. This is the worst thing I have ever had, and I used to have a Pontiac Fierro and have two ex-wives. The guidelines say to avoid mentioning customer service and to contact them instead. I did that and never received a response. As of late, my 1025R has been in the shop for the last two weeks and no ETA of when I will get it back. Stay away from John Deere.

Great tractor in small package!

5/5

I was a little unsure about the 1025R when I first went to my local John Deere dealership. I thought it was too small for my needs. I have a 4 acre lot I recently purchased as a rural homestead. After talking to the sales rep, I decided to go with the 1025R. I have been very impressed with the overall performance. This is my first tractor and I am glad I saved the money by going with the 1025R. I have used the box blade, front loader and post hold digger and all have worked great. This is one tough little tractor that I am looking forward to using for years to come.

Not John Deere's best effort.

3/5

I have owned over 70 John Deere lawn tractors over the years. One of the mowers I currently own a 755 with mid deck and loader, much of my comparison is to this tractor. The 1025 has improved power and better hydraulics, two shortcomings of the 755. The 1025 steering ratio is quite slow and when I trim around posts it seems like endless cranking on the steering wheel. I like the tight turning radius but is can also be a problem when the front wheels slip and peal the grass. The 755 has turning brakes which help with tight turns especially when the ground is damp. Low gear with this tractor is a little too slow for general mowing. The 755 low gear allows me to run there most of the time with adequate speed. Our yard has a fairly steep road bank and with the 1025 in high gear the forward pedal is difficult to push when ascending the hill and it really pulls the engine. It is time consuming to have to constantly switch gears at the hill. The 755 low gear works well for all my mowing. The position of the front wheel assist lever is very awkward on this tractor. I often use the front assist when descending the bank. The location on the 755 is much more convenient. The reverse button is also a pain. I often raise the deck when backing and with the button and hydraulic lever on the same side it requires extra time to perform both operations. I wish the reverse lockout could be overridden for the entire term of a mowing session. I noticed that Deere stepped the front lip of the mower deck up above the blade height. I have never seen this on a Deere mower and it leaves the blades exposed to curbs and other obstructions. The front mower wheels on the 1025 are fixed and on uneven ground tend to dig up the grass. The wheels on the 755 caster reducing this problem. If the 755 had the 24HP engine it would be a better tractor in most every way.

Great Tractor

5/5

I bought this tractor back in April. My wife and I have both used the tractor several times and now have over 20 hours on it. We have 1-1/2 acres and take care of an additional 3 acres for family. I definitely consume less fuel being diesel compared to gas. One of the things I like about the John Deere 1025R is that this tractor has been around awhile so there are plenty of video's out there to watch to help me understand how to do certain things including maintenance on tractor. I especially appreciated the salesman having my wife and I do the demo at dealership before purchasing so that we could see how easy it was to take on and off the bucket and mower. John Deere has done a fantastic job engineering the quick attach - detach functions.

If the top of the bar was approximately 4 inches shorter so that it could be let down so as not to interfere with the three-point hitch would certainly make me enjoy the 1025R much more. knowing this, I would have probably chosen a different tractor manufacturer. if a different rollbar should become available for my 1025R add no expense to me and correct these flaws I would certainly be much happier

Originally went in to purchase a 3000 series tractor. But after discussing my needs with the salesman we decided that the 1025R was more than enough for my land. The bucket is easily removed for mowing with the 60” deck. And I now can mow my 3 acres in 1/4 the time of my 42” mower. I purchased it with a 48” tiller. The tiller turns sod into plantable soil in short time.

Great tractor but took one month to get possession of it after purchasing. Also John Deere should just put a plastic cover over the seat not have plastic around it when they put the cushions on. Makes it very tough for buyer to get all the plastic off and mine was wet. Love using it though so far!!

We purchased this tractor last month to maintain a 4.8 lot we recently bought. It has exceeded every expectation. We also purchased the 48" rotary cutter and box blade. I have learned many tips & tricks from YouTube, there you will find a large 1025r community. Cheers - CT

Powerful little tractor

5/5

I have had this for about one month now. It is a great tractor. It mows really well for the size. I have a 54” deck which helps me get around a hilly tree filled lot. Love the drive over auto connect deck, quick and easy. The loader has been a back saver. It made little work of 30 yards of mulch so far. Again, quick and easy to remove and install. The single point hose connector is convenient too. Planning to put this tractor to work a lot more this summer.

I love my 1025R

5/5

I got my 1025R about 6 weeks ago. This is after having a X324 for about 14 years. What a difference. I got the 60 inch mower deck and my old deck was 48 inches. I also got the 20 bushel MCS and I love it. It is great being able to just push a button to dump all the clippings. I also got a 54 inch thatcher for the front using the Heavy Hitch attachment and quick hitch. That worked great. The only complaint I have is it would have been great if I could have used thatcher and mower deck at the same time. But, I am very pleased with my purchase.

The real Swiss Army tractor

5/5

Hands down the best overall tractor I’ve ever owned! Yes… it’s tiny but don’t let its size fool you. Aside from having a low lift capability, I can accomplish just about anything I need to managing our property. Everything from clearing 3 acres of trees, leveling and grading, removing hundreds of cubic yards of limestone boulders, spreading hundreds of cubic yards of loam and soil and moving thousands and thousands of pounds of mulch, sod and gravel to landscape our new home.

The reason for a 4 rating is, its a new purchase, absolutely love this machine. The lift is surprisingly strong, very agile and mibile, bucket is easily removed in a matter of minutes. Mowing deck is very heavy and strong mows very good for a 60 inch velly mower, i would highly recommend this sub compact tractor to anyone with a small farm or rental properties to maintain.

Great unit with minor issue

4/5

I bought this in mid April and I'm very please with it. I did have one issue though. The drive over MMM started to become very difficult to get connected. Upon inspecting the MMM and tractor side of the linkage, I found that both of the lifting eye bolts were bent and binding when I raised and lowered the mower. I was able to straighten one of them but I'm going to have to cut out the other to replace it once I receive the parts.

Finish building the tractor

4/5

I love the tractor. well done. A few criticisms I have would be the little pedal for the diff lock. The covers that finish the floorboard smooth. No more holes for dirt and debris to get trapped in. The metal gaurds that surround the warning lights on the rops. The placement of the 4wd handle. The tractor just felt like it wasn't finished. These few reasonably inexpensive additions seem like they should have been standard Equipment. I would expect these cheap shortcuts from other brands. After I finished building my tractor, it's awesome. It sad to see so much effort, design and experience get diminished to save a couple dollars on some finishing touches. Do better

I've had my 1025R about a year. I couldn't be happier with it. The 54D deck is very easy to connect, and it powers through the toughest grass. The loader is very strong and super easy to take on and off. The single point hydraulic connection is the best. I had a 1990 318 I bought new and had for 33 years with no issues. I drove model A's when I was a kid. Because of my previous experience, I didn't even consider another tractor. Deere will always be my brand.

Quick review, homeowner/part time landscaper

5/5

I bought my tractor 2 months ago and I am very pleased with the machine as a whole. It does everything I need it to. Only one complaint would be the hydraulics seem a little weak on the backhoe, I have now learned how to get around some of that, changing how I operate the backhoe. Other than that, the loader bucket feels strong and it operates all my cat 1 equipment with ease. I'm a big guy at 6'6" and find it comfortable except for the loader control is to close to my leg but I have adjusted it and it's more out of the way now. You're not going to find a better machine in it's class Excited to use the tractor more.

Initial impressions.....The 1025r seems to be solid piece of equipment. I have only done a few basic tasks so far but they were handled easily. The equipment layout and user friendly set up for a non professional are excellent. I have removed and reinstalled the backhoe unit (watching you tube) it took less than 10 minutes. I have not had to do any service as of this point, but plan to add to my review once have more hours in the seat. So far I am pleased with my choice.

Great tractor and features

5/5

I purchased this unit back in February of 2024. The store manager, Celeste Sharpe of James River Equipment, in Newton NC, was exceptional. After shopping around for a reputable tractor, she was the only one that went through the description and options of the tractor, when the other companies did not. By showing her exceptional customer service and taking the time to go over the tractor, I decided to purchase my John Deere from her. The delivery guy Jamie Wright, also of James River Equipment, was wonderful. Went over the features upon delivery and offered his assistance at anytime. James River Equipment of Newton NC, along with these 2 great people will be the place I go to for a long time.

Everything I Needed!

5/5

I have been looking to get something like the 1025r since I bought my house a year ago and had done a lot of research to figure out what was best for my needs. I have always been a John Deere guy, having a simple 3 series lawn tractor for a number of years, so naturally I gravitated towards their compact series. The selling point to me, was the ease of the attach/detach for the bucket/backhoe/mower. I knew I would be taking them on and off often, so it was important to do it easily. I watched a lot of tutorials on the process before getting my machine, and it is indeed, incredibly easy. I can get the mower off in less than 30 seconds, the loader off in less than a minute, and the backhoe off in less than 2.5 minutes. Putting them back on is nearly as simple. People have mentioned that lining up the backhoe to put it back on is a challenge. I found it very easy. After the first time, I have been able to line it up with ease. In terms of power, I have all that I need and more here. I used the backhoe to move around fairly large boulders and it didn't struggle at all. The controls are straight forward and take some getting used to as expected. But the power is plentiful. The loader is well above what I will need. I cleared a lot of debris behind my fence line and it blew through it without any issue. It was as if there wasn't anything in the way. I went with the versa turf radial tires as I heard it was a smoother ride, and had far better traction than any of the other models while still not destroying your lawn. 100% accurate. I was in some deep mud and when in 4 wheel drive, it was easy to move around. I never came close to being stuck. I was a bit worried when my front wheels were nearly submerged in mud, but it popped right out. Overall, this is perfect and I couldn't be happier. I have about a month and a half before I start mowing here in New England and I am pretty particular about my lawn so that will be the last important piece, but to this point, this has been exactly what I was looking for.

Proud small tractor owner

5/5

I bought this about three months ago and have been very happy with my purchase. I’ve used the backhoe much more than anticipated and it really does a good job digging holes. The four wheel drive has been very handy when traveling across my property in muddy, uneven terrain. I use the tractor most every weekend for chores around the property. .we had a rare snow and ice event and I was able to use the front loader bucket to clean off my concrete drive! I’ve already got 14 hours on it in a relatively short time period in an off season capacity. As spring and summer approach I think I will be finding even more uses for this equipment!

I did buy this about a month ago and it had been everything I wanted. The dealership was real easy to work with and delivery time was acceptable. Would send my friends there if they were looking to buy.

only one gripe

4/5

bought this tractor about a month ago. have not used it much but I do have one minor problem. the controller for the loader is in awkward location. in order to turn to look behind me, i have to twist my body to the right. i end up tilting the bucket down as i turn and do not realize it because i am looking at the implement. I don't pretend to be a design engineer, but i hope you guys can relocate those controls

good tractor

5/5

This is my third 1025R, I like the new loader hookup. Much more user friendly. The hand brake is also an improvement. last but not the least, is the brighter led lights. lights on the loader frame would be nice, as the loader gets in the way.

Great little tractor

5/5

Great little tractor. Unfortunately, the weather has been so bad that I have only been able to run it a few times. The only thing that I wish it had is a single reversable seat. It is awkward switching seats to change positions from tractor to backhoe.
