Best Compact Tractor

I truly love the 1025r. I did a video on YouTube about it. With spacers weights its a blessing for me

Pros

Cons

Great tractor

I bought this 2 months ago and really like the tractor. It has been handy.

Pros

Cons

Runs great and handles well.

I waited until now to give you my review on the John Deere tractor and give me sometime to see all the uses that it could provide. So far I'm pleased with the tractor and the way it handles, I gave it a good workout this summer.

Pros

Cons

Live our mower

So far we love our mower. Because of the time of year we’ve only used it a couple times but it’s great, and has made our chores around our property easier.

Pros

Cons

The tractor is great

We purchased this tractor from the Casey, IL dealer (at that time it was Alliance). The tractor was equipped with the backhoe, so therefore the lift arms assemblies were not on the tractor. I was promised the kits but I have been unable to get it, now the dealership (alliance) has sold to Sloan and they know nothing about this and are telling me that I will have to buy the arms assemblies. It is standard equipment and I do not feel that I should have to purchase them.

Pros

Cons

My old John Deere was a good purchase about 15 years ago. It's current replacement is a very good machine with good safety features and mechanical/electrical upgrades to make it an even higher quality tractor. The back hoe attachment is more user friendly with its own seat , improved locking system when not in use, well-marked functional control labels, well protected hydraulic hoses, good under-the seat storage cylinder for small tools, clear attached instructions for use of hydraulic controls, better parking brake system with user-friendly handle.

Pros

Cons

New Owner

Have enjoyed my new 1025r for the last month or so. Only issue so far was opening the hood for the first time. (0.2 hours) I noticed a crack in the hood at the latch point. Dealer is ordering me a new hood.

Pros

Cons

Mutiple Use Tractor

Purchased in October, I used the tractor with loader for multiple landscaping projects including dirt pile leveling and distributing stone on a parking pad. Winter hit in December and switched bucket to plow blade and moved 20+ inches of snow from my driveways with ease.

Pros

Cons

Just what I needed

I purchased my 1025 a couple months ago. I have wanted this machine for years but kept putting it off. Recently I learned about the financing options John Deere has and decided to buy. It has really been helpful around my property and I feel it will make a huge difference in the future. I’m just a regular guy who isn’t getting any younger, this will assist me keeping everything done the way I want.

Pros

Cons

My new 1025R Sub-Compact Utility tractor is a fine machine. It was a replacement of my old (approximately 15 year-old) tractor). I like the additional safety features as well as the more subtle refinements on the new machine that makes it safer and even more user friendly. Great engineering on a relatively small machine.

Pros

Cons

Versatile small yet powerful machine

This was a recent purchase, however I have done a few small projects already. Small yes. And that’s part of the beauty of the 1025…. I can maneuver through tight spaces on my property, yet still do the work that a much heavier and larger machine would do. This was a great investment!!

Pros

Cons

Awesome machine for the money.

I've owned the 1025R for a couple of months now. I am very happy with the machine. I have the NSL 120R, 260B, and 60D. I'll accomplish my property transformation goals with ease!

Pros

Cons

Choose your dealer wisely

I love the tractor the reason for the 3 stars is the with dealer and the third function. The dealer gave me a fair price for my trade the problem is with the third function. Instead of putting a John Deere third function and put a wr long and there mechanic run the line where the backhoe would not come off. And he zip tied the lines to the hardlines for the bucket and they got caught while using the grapple. But I love the way they moved the parking brake. I just wish they would put the backhoe connections where they just plug in like they used to do like scv.

Pros

Cons

Well built compact tractor

Purchased for use on our small farm. Very pleased with the traactor

Pros

Cons

New 1025

Traded in my 1025 which was only a few years old to upgrade to the new model and get the back hoe. Love the new tractor. Have not had a chance to take advantage of all the options I got with it yet but what I have I love.

Pros

Cons

Well made machine!

I like my new 1025R JD tractor. However, not having a small a/c unit is disappointing because it will get very hot in this factory installed cab. Yea, you can crack open the front and back windows and hope they don’t rattle apart. Yea, you can remove the doors and hope you don’t break them while trying to find space to store them for a few months. I bet a small a/c unit could have been made and installed on this smaller tractor. Just think how the sales would go through the roof! Then I could truthfully say “I love my machine” with 5 star review.

Pros

Cons

Great tractor!

The only thing I do not like about the tractor is the fact I have to put the tractor in neutral before I can dismount. This creates a situation where the tractor can roll. On my 3320 I can get off with it in gear which holds the tractor in place unless on a hill.

Pros

Cons

1025R with snowblower

Haven't had much chance to use it yet but they keep asking for review. Waiting for UHMW blade for snowblower so doesn't scratch concrete driveway. Thought it was pretty cheap to spend so much money on a factory cab and they only provided gas strut on one of the doors.

Pros

Cons

Sweet little tractor

One handy little tractor! Should have had one of these years ago!

Pros

Cons

Ore than a bargain

Little tractor does more than I expected Best purchase I have made in a while!!

Pros

Cons

Would recommend

We purchased this about a month ago and it has been a wonderful investment! It’s easy to use and we are able to get work accomplished much faster with a better result!

Pros

Cons

Good ride

Had this tractor a month, it spent a week in the shop at 0.7 hrs due to a bad gear box on the deck. Other than that it has did good. It had 4.0 hours on it now.

Pros

Cons

I like the new hydraulic disconnect option on

Traded my 1026r for a new 1025r very satisfied with the tractor

Pros

Cons

Like the hydrostatic drive. Very easy to maneuver

So far so good. Only have 10 hours on the tractor with no problems. Perfect size for what I needed to accomplish on my farm. I have a 105 horse tractor that won’t get into the places that the new compact tractor gets into. Works good with the 4 ft. brush cutter.

Pros

Cons

no manuals with it salesman got the machine one

it took to long of a time to clear up the recall the salesmen was great

Pros

Cons

1025R

The tractor is a good one. The problem is the cab is so short and there's no AC for summer. Why not? We paid for a cab and it's stripped down. The bigger cabs have AC and radio. Is there some reason this tractor gets less comforts?

Pros

Cons

So far this is a great tractor for what I need it for.

Pros

Cons

great features

Like the unit. has some nice features my 1023E did not have that I like.

Pros

Cons

Old man’s helper

Bought this tractor in September. Now have 40 hrs on it. Made a few mods, to make more functional And comfortable. Does exactly what I want it to around the farm among the larger tractors. No mower, but loader and forks which are exceptionally handy. Pulls a 48” rotary mower with ease. Loader lifts 850lbs above 4’. Only complaint that is inherent to all subcompacts is the small diameter tires makes the rode “choppy” by feeling all the imperfections in the ground that you run over. A small price to pay for a nicely built “helper” that will let an old man not hurt himself with chores to be done.

Pros

Cons

1025R great 54D deck not so great.

The 1025R has been very good so far currently 41 hrs on machine but have had issues with the 54D Auto Connect mower deck specifically idler pulleys splitting in half which also ruins the mower deck belt.

Pros

Cons

Impressive lifting power

Bought it a month or so ago to clear some land and do projects around the yard. I’ve been impressed with the power of the machine and moved some large logs with the frontier grapple. Even entire medium size trees. Very happy so far.

Pros

Cons

Perfect for my lawn garden and pto generator needs

This new tractor meets all my expectations. Now that I ve become familiar with most all of it s functionality for what I use it for , I couldn’t be more satisfied. I look forward to using this well built and thought out machine for many years.

Pros

Cons

Nice

Love the auto connection deck and power flow with hopper. Wish it had a light for 4 wheel drive.

Pros

Cons

I got it a month ago and it’s good only problem has to many pinch points on the loaded and backhoe has to be real careful also hidráulica a little to slow but other then that equipment is good

Pros

Cons

Solid performer

Going on the 3rd month and it performs as advertised. The real test comes with the arrival of snow...We may need a snow blower attachment for that.

Pros

Cons

John Deere 1025R - If you have arthritis,

I bought this tractor to replace my Kubota that I had been using to do stall cleaning and other lighter work around the farm. Because of arthritis in my right knee, I had difficulty with using the treadle that controls the forward / reverse on the Kubota. The John Deere tractor has two pedals that sit side by side that controls the forward / reverse motion and is a lot easier to operate and doe not cause any knee pain at all. If you need a smaller tractor to get in and around tighter spaces, You should consider this model. The open platform allows for an unobstructed view while your cleaning stalls or doing landscaping. And there are a lot of after market accessories that you can add on to personalize it for your use.

New 1025r in CT

I bought this to replace a 45 year old bigger tractor. So far, very happy, getting more work done with less fuss. Sales, Dean was great to deal with and very informative. My only complaint would be, no free JD hat!

Pros

Cons

The perfect tractor for our needs.

This tractor is exactly what I wanted years ago when my husband insisted on buying an LS. Being small and compact it is easy to get on and off, easy to get into places, like our cow barn, where the bigger tractors cannot go. Overall it is the perfect wife Tractor.

Pros

Cons

Great tractor

I am really impressed with the easy access to use different attachments

Pros

Cons

Great tractor for an urban farm

I am grateful for my 1025R. It is well-built and has many features that meet my needs on my urban farm. The drive over mower deck does a great job -- and it is so great to have the drive over feature for maintaining the deck. The loader is excellent, as it helps me to efficiently turn my compost piles, haul wood chips around, and level uneven spots in garden areas. I also have the material collection system - MC2120, which is very efficient in picking up leaves in the fall. I can dump the leaves from the tractor right in my composting area.

Pros

Cons

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.

Pros

Cons

Already wrote a review. I was treated very nicely and all the personnel explained all the functions clearly

Pros

Cons

I really like it. Hope the quality has improved s

Very happy so far. My 2015 developed a slight hydraulic oil leak in the rear differential at 350 hours, a common occurrence. I hope JD has fixed that problem since then.

Pros

Cons

Works like a Swiss Army knife

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.

Pros

Cons

Drive on mower deck and easy removal of front end

The tractor is awesome. Lot of power. I have the front end loader and drive on mower deck. They are easy to put on and take off. Why just a 4 star rating. I dislike when mowing and go into reverse the tractor shut off.

Pros

Cons

Big John is the "Best" hired hand ever!

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!

Pros

Cons

Nice machine

Very happy with my 1025R, my sales manager was the best.

Pros

Cons

Work made easier

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.

Pros

Cons

Tracto...Two thumbs up!

The 1025 is my second compact tractor. I owned a 4100 for 23 years with no issues. So far I I've really enjoyed the new one. I do have one complaint. The hood latch is a very poor design. I've already had to have it repaired.

Pros

Cons

Buyer

I was treated with the utmost courtesy and the sales person explained everything about my tractor and when it was delivered the driver demonstrated how everything worked I was very pleased with everything

Pros

Cons

Best small tractor ever

I purchased the 1025R with the backhoe and pallet lift. This tractor is perfect size for a residential country home. Easy to use, full of features, and easy to change implements.

Pros

Cons

Dissapointed

Took four (4) trips to the dealer to have the mower deck adjusted properly. Clueless techs.

Pros

Cons

I have 17 hours on my tractor and like it except for the switch I must push to disengage the mower when backing up. This is a pain in the A.. The other thing is the fuel gauge, it bounces all over when the mower is running and there seems to be an air pocket in the fuel tank and it doesn't fill up.

Pros

Cons

Pros

Cons

I'm not happy with the way you have to press the mower toggle switch to continue mowing in reverse. I don't think it's safe for the tractor to shut off if you forget or don't press the switch in time. Other than that I am very pleased with it.

Pros

Cons

Great tractor plenty of power

I bought this tractor to help out around the house. I just finished putting out 120 tons of rock on our large driveway and throughout the yard handled the load absolutely no problems controls are easy. I have a brush hog for it also mowing with the speed control Much easier overall it’s a great tractor

Pros

Cons

I’ve had it a couple months every thing works as it should.

Pros

Cons

perfect fit for our tilling and smaller jobs on th

love both of my JD tractors makes work so much easier were in our mid 70s still have horses garden etc. couldn't get all our work done without them. Post holes, fill dirt movements, hauling firewood, moving saw dust, mixing compost piles, even handy in tightening stock fence. wish I had bought both much earlier in life.

Pros

Cons

I think I got a lemon!!

Only 10 hours and the transmission is leaking oil . The dealer said they have to rip the tractor apart to fix it. I do not think that is right. I think the dealer should take the tractor back and give me a new one.

Pros

Cons

The ease of operation and detachable bucket/deck.

I bought this 1025R about 6 weeks ago. Then I returned to Tennessee Tractor and bought a X350. All is great. I still have a 1987 Hydro 175? still working. I do believe the saying "Nothing runs like a John Deere." 100 %I don't even look at other brands.

Pros

Cons

Disappointed

Not good so far, it has been at the shop as much as at my house. Should have kept my Kubota.

Pros

Cons

VERY disappointed.

Bought this a month ago and it’s been in the shop more then at my house

Pros

Cons

Simple to use and understand the great features it

We bought our little tractor in June 2024 and we definitely love it, perfect for what we need., I named him gizmo, living our new toy .

Pros

Cons

Location of the Hydraulic fittings hook up

My Dad love it. We have not mowed with it yet. It’s a lot better then our first 1025R.

Pros

Cons

Great small tractor

Purchase tractor about 2 month ago to help maintain lakefront lot. Backhoe works great, pallet lift and front loader easy to swap out. Backhoe little cramped to get into. Ok after you get into position. There are a lot of controls that need explanation, a single sheet showing all controls and their function would be helpful. Over-all the 1025 is easy to use and a joy to operate.

Pros

Cons

Some Good and Some Bad

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,

Pros

Cons

Solid Machine

1 month in and very excited/happy. Former lawn tractor owner which is not a tractor clearly as I know now. This thing is next level, Seems solid as a rock so far, I love it. So many gadgets, like the salesperson told me this is the swiss army knife of tractors which I think sums it up.

Pros

Cons

Stay away from John Deere!

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.

Pros

Cons

Bad

We bought this tractor a month ago. Less than 5 hrs and the PTO broke as well as another part. It's been on the shop for 2 of the 5 weeks we've had it. Broke right around our first payment. We traded a Mahindra. So far NOT happy and still paying

Pros

Cons

Love the tractor it need a wider wheel base.

Great support from our sales representative, Octavio. He is a keeper for you company.

Both are phenomanol.

I bought tractor a while ago.About a month. It does every thing I expected. I never really had a real tractor until now. Moved to TN from Chicago 4 years ago. I do have a vintage 1987 Hydro 175. Still runs great! Correct, Nothing runs like a John Deere. It's a 1025R, also bought X3350 a week later.
