I love the cruise control!

So far so good! I bought this tractor to pull araound a 72" finish mower and it is doing a great job.

Pros

Cons

Nice upgrade and noticeable difference

Traded up from a 22 1025, which got me hooked on Deere CUT’s and the ease of removing and attaching the FEL and mower deck. I upgraded for more stability and clearance that the 2025 offers and am truly impressed. The bigger tires make me feel much more planted to the terrain I mow and pulls my box blade and tillage tools better than the 1025. The 2025 really lets that Yanmar put the torque to the ground. I thought the FEL on the 1025 was easy to drop and attach, well, the 2025 is twice as easy. The added mowing height is nice as well. My only issue is that removing attaching mower is a little tougher, and the front drag links needs to really be watched as it wants to hang between the toolbox and FEL. We all don’t live on flatland or have concrete shop floors. Maybe a design review update in future models? But it is a minor issue that in no way would make me consider going back to the 2025. The upgrade in stability and torque is well worth it.

Pros

2025 to the chore rescue!

After just a few weeks of ownership, I am finding my little tractor to be more useful and powerful than expected. Very pleased with my purchase and look forward to finding more ways to put it to work and buying more attachments.

Pros

Cons

Pros

Cons

Great price and quality

It does everything I need it to do. It could stand a little more power and I wish the 3 point lift would go up a little higher.

Pros

Cons

Multiple abilities

Needs more leg room for hubby and would be great if the seat swiveled.

Pros

Cons

Good mower so far.

I owned two 1025r prior to purchasing my 2025r. The tractor is heavier than the 1025r and I needed something heavier to mow my church property. The property is full of mole hills so I needed the extra weight. I put two 6o lb. jd weights on and with the added weight of the tractor it added about 500 to 600 lbs. The only problem I am having now is the seat does not scoot back far enough to suit me, I am 6'1'' and I have NO leg room. This would be a much appreciated fix. I have several friends and their complaint and mine was the very weak seat on the 1025r. Please fix this problem. Everyone I have talked to would gladly pay extra for a deluxe seat.

Pros

Cons

Easy to remove attachments

I only had to put the belt back on one time in 8.5 hours of use.

Pros

Cons

Just what I needed.

Very impressed. I wasn’t sure if I needed the backhoe. However, I’ve already used it more than the loader.

Pros

Pros

Are they all lemons?

I was so excited to get my first brand new tractor. The first time I used the backhoe attachment, it blew hydraulic fluid everywhere. Most of the fittings had never been tightened. Next, the steering started leaking. Now at the two year mark, one of the front wheels falls off. The lug bolts all came out and of course, I get to buy new ones since the warranty is out. I have also found bolts in my driveway that have fallen off from somewhere on this thing. Be carefull if you buy one of these. I wish I had bought a Kubota at this point.

Pros

Easy to use super comfortable.

My wife thoroughly enjoys her new tractor. She is excited for any project that she can use her tractor.

I absolutely love this machine!! I traded my 2007 JDX740 which I bought new and loved! Was an awesome machine! The 2025R is that much more! I love JOHN DEERE! Forever customer!

Pros

multi purpose star

WE have had this a month. Our uses vary. We having been towing a 300 gallon water tank to water sod, moving na few bucket loads of black dirt with the loader, and mowed a horse pasture.

Pros

Cons

Great tractor!

I have put about 250hrs on my tractor, and it has been great! Other than general maintenance it's run like a Deere. :) I use it on 5 acres for hauling wood, dirt, mulch, and plowing snow on our 400' driveway. I currently use a front loader, pallet forks, 60" landscape rake, 60' rear blade and a Woodmax MX 8500G series woodchipper. The only thing I would consider doing differently is getting a tractor with a little more horsepower because our property has some hilly areas that tractor struggles some when a front and rear attachment is on at the same time.

Pros

Cons

emergancy brake is almost impossible to release

not happy at all first 2 hr. mower deck wheel shredded Than at 7 hrs from new mower deck brace came apart and deck was banging on supports while mowing. Have pictures. engine stops when pushing reverse peddle. When this happens on a hill tractor free falls backwards. I consider this very dangerous. Huge safety issue. No right and left brake for tight turns. Engine really smokes when first started.

Pros

Cons

So far everything is working great like it should. I have about 12 hours on it now. The 60 inch mower deck cuts very good.

Pros

Cons

Wise Choice

My first tractor. Very happy with the decision. I am using my 2025R as a Land Management Tractor taking care of the areas that are not maintained for hay production. Controls are very intuitively placed. Driving the tractor is the same as my JD X590 Lawn Tractor

Pros

Cons

wish I would of kept my old one

Falling apart apart apart apart apart apart apart apart

Pros

Terrible engineering by JD

Bought this in December 2023 Not enough HP to move wet snow. Battery is dead after 2 hours of use! Dpecial tools are needed to remove and replace the battery. A nightmare created by John Deere engineers! My JD 955 is 100 times better! I am not happy with this tractor!

Pros

This new 1025 tractor is great. Been mowing a 2 acre pasture with it very efficient. Glad I picked John Deere.

Great little tractor

Purchased my 2025R from LandPro Equipment in Watsontown, PA in February 2019. Put 309 hrs on it. Love this little tractor!

Loving this compact utility tractor!

I am so happy with my tractor! I have already used the backhoe and front loader attachments quite a bit. They are simple and straight forward to use, attach, and detach. I also bought a land plane and rotary tiller as well, but have not use either so I can't speak about them yet. The tractor is very well made, as you would expect from such a respected name like John Deere. I have been so impressed with it all, from the dealer, delivery, the quality, ease of use, power, gas consummation, etc. John Deere, you have earned a loyal customer!

Pros

Great features added a ballast box with lead weigh

Perfect size for our small farm. 60 inch mower. Deck cuts are mowing time in half.

Pros

Fun tractor for the farm.

Great tractor that is very versatile. Mows the property like a lawnmower but with the feel of a utility tractor.

This tractor does all I need it to do

I waited to review this tractor until I had used it a while. Bought new in spring of 2023, I had traded my 1025R because I needed a bit more ground clearance without losing too much turning radius. I now have about 85 hrs on it and it’s been mostly bucket work (95%). The 54” mowing deck cuts well and gives a nice finished look. Used in all weather conditions it does property maintenance and logging during spring, summer and fall. We finally got enough snow and I got to use my 54” snowblower that was swapped over from my 1025R. What a dream this is moving that 12” of wind packed snow and sleet. This tractor does all I need it to do. From filling in a pool and moving rocks and boulders to construct a stream, to the logging I do almost weekly to gathering firewood for winter or the hours of snowblowing. Through it all I can sit comfortably and work for long periods of time. This machine surprises me almost daily in all weather conditions. I’d buy this again if I ever manage to wear this one out.

Pros

Cons

Third function grapple controls are very well done

I've recently owned a new 1025r, 2032r, and New Holland 25s, the 2025r is the perfect size tractor for me. Love it so much!!!!!

Have not got it yet dealer taking to long to get it

Pros

Cons

The tractor is good so far. The sales procedures from John Deere not so good. I asked the dealer salesman if any incentives were forthcoming from John Deere for buying a 2023 model and was told no, so I purchased my 2023 model tractor in January 2024. Then I see from John Deere a 2500 dollar incentive if you purchase a 2023 model after February 1st 2024. I would have gladly waited until February 2024 to make my purchase knowing I could save that money. I feel John Deere or the dealer owes me 2500 dollars or a 2024 model year tractor.

Problematic features

Pleased with the tractor except for the hydrolics These are different than list in the manual or on the website. Felling somewhat deceived by this problem

Pros

Cons

Perfect size for my use!

This was a purchase I struggled with the idea of purchasing for about 5 years. After last year's snow and the amount of time I spent out in the cold on my ATV pushing snow I made the decision. My only mistake was not ordering it sooner. When my tractor was delivered, unfortunately it had a couple of small issues. Me not ever having a new John Deere and never before dealing with a John Deere dealership, I wasn't sure what to expect. You would have thought that I purchased the most expensive tractor there was! A service tech was here the next morning and was joined by 3 more from the dealership later that same day. Long story short, they had my machine repaired and ready for use. I am very impressed with the quality of the machine and the people, from my salesperson, the service manager to the repair tech's!

Pros

Cons

Great all around Tractor !

Bought a 2024 2025R with the heated cab. Love the tractor, A couple things that I would like different the parking brake handle is right next to your right foot. Keep hitting it with your right foot. Exhaust pipe is pointed to let the exhaust blow right onto the body of the Tractor. Also wish the interior cab light was a little brighter at times. Lastly with the heated cab it is difficult to fuel the Tractor. (Just a few small things) Otherwise Love the Tractor!

Pros

Cons

Great customer service and knowledge

I had an idea of what I wanted and needed and Octavio H sealed the deal by walking me through everything on my 2025R

Pros

Cons

other then that well pleased

I bought this 3 or 4 months ago and I am well pleased except for one thing. The couple switching from loader to grappler takes some time to get switched out. it can take 4 hrs to overnight. to relieve the pressure in the hose. so I am unable to go from one operation to another and then back because of this problem oh i called them and complained a man came to my house to show me what i was doing wrong but it still does it but getting better

Bought this for a vocational high school horticulture and landscape program. It is the perfect size to train the students on!

Overall, I do like the tractor. However it appears to be a problem getting a drawbar attachment for it as they only appear to be an option for the three series tractor. This is a big negative as far as my use of this tractor is concerned

Pros

Great product!

I bought this a month ago and so happy I did. It is just the right size for my smaller jobs. I am very pleased with my purchase and the ones that made sure I understood its different features. Thank you

Pros

I bought it 3 months ago and with the cab I just love how it handles

Pros

Good tractor

Bought my 2025r 6 months ago. Tractor runs and performs as expected. Only issue I have is the light switch is in a bad spot. I hit it with my knee. It turns on when I get off the tractor. If I don't catch it the battery goes dead.

2023 2025R

Tractor quality could have been better less than 30 minutes on tractor had leaks. Hopefully it stays that way.

I am very pleased with the tractor over all, but I do wish it had a little more lifting capability

Pros

Having so much fun.

I purchased the 2025R in August and quite honestly I’m having so much fun using it. I’m only on 2 acres, but have cleared out so much overgrowth of small trees and weeds and I’m even doing my own landscaping with it.

Pros

Cons

Very handy and powerful.

Very happy with this tractor. Very convenient to operate, and a wide variety of attachments available, and has surprisingly good power for its size.

Pros

2025R John deere

Perfect for my 5 acres. I should have bought one years ago. So far I have leveled my lane , improved drainage and moved rocks and soil with ease. Standard extra hydraulic connections on the front bucket and the rear would make it an easy 5 stars.

Pros

Great tractor

We got this a month ago and love it. It has been a great tractor. Only thing was the battery failed on us but pape machinery came right out and fixed it. Other than that it has been exactly what we needed

Pros

My wife wanted a rear tiller last spring, so I decided to buy the 2025R and add the attachments to it. Great choice, everyone loves it.

Excellent piece of equipment

We had the tractor for a short time but finished most of our fall work in 10% of the time in years past.

2025 issues

I have 5 hrs and for a month and half on machine and has been in the shop 3 times already. Leaking differential, climate control blower switch issue, & bad battery.

Pros

Cons

Deere went cheap

The older model was way more comfortable. This one sets too high and Ives the feeling it’s unstable on hills. Whoever had the idea to take the fuel gauge off the dash and put it on the tank needs to be tar and feathered. I bought a John Deere not a Murry. It makes the machine look and feel cheap.

Pros

Very easy to operate.

Bought my 2025R in late spring and I am very happy that I did.

The bucket and the plow hook up.

It going to be handy this Winter to plow out my new driveway and part of the alley so I can get out if I have too.

I bought it this summer with the snowblower attachment and now I’m just waiting for the snow to come.

The tractor is great, but I can't get the hood to open with the cheap hood release knob. Going to call the dealer to open it.

Pros

Very nice features

I traded my 2004 JD2210 in on the 2025R . The new tractor has some nice features that my 2210 did not have. I am not convinced the quality of it is as good as my older tractor . I really like the single point connection for the loader and the cruise control .

Pros

Another awesome John Deere Product for DIY'ers

Great tractor. I've owned a 318 for 34 years and did a lot of stuff with this tractor. Now buying the 2025R with bucket loader, plow, mowing deck and brush hogger I can't believe the amount of work and landscaping I can do on my property. JD hit the nail right on the head when they introduced and started refining these 2-sries tractors for DIY'ers.

Pros

Cons

Great Tractor

I bought the 2025R in April 2020. I could go on and on about how great of a job this tractor does. I have bush hogged, mowed with deck. and moved everything needed with the loader. It is just a great little machine that can do it all.

Pros

Cons

Excellent tractor

My 2018 2025R was purchased during the coldest winter month in Southwest Michigan. Over the years I've worked this tractor on 15 acres... dug a 20x60 hole five feet deep, rototilled gardens, piled and removed brush, pulled down large climbing vines, trees, dug out tree stumps, cleared land for our house, made a driveway from scratch through a cow pasture, and accomplished so much more. The only thing that has been replaced over the years was a short bucket hose, one hose on the AV20F grapple, and the air filter bracket which JD came out and replaced. GreenMark Equipment has treated me very well thanks to Salesman Phil at the Mishawaka location. I must add though... I've maintained this tractor very well IMO, because I'm here to say this tractor now has 1027 hours showing. I have nothing to complain about.

Pros

Cons

2025R

I owned a 1025R for about a year put little over a 100 hours on it traded it in on the 2025R. I have around 50 hours on it now and I love it. Added liquid to the rear tires it pulls and pushes a lot more than the 1025r did because of the added weight and size of tires. Also seems to ride much smoother down the road. Both the 1025r and the 2025r are amazing little tractors. John Deere dealership has also been fantastic to work with.

Pros

Cons

lesking trans...Pbrake freezes...engine shustdown

bought over 2 months ago and the tractor has been at dealer since day2....instument panel reads overheating and shuts the tractor down,,,parking brake cannot be relesed,,,on going transaxle/transmission leaking, dealer has tried to fix 3 times and still it leaks after 2 plus months,,,ready to demand refund at this point...dealer doing the best they can with JD given all the problems so far

Pros

Cons

Real work, real value. Buy a frame size up though!

After a couple of years with the Gen2 2025R, still love this machine for what it is and I'd buy it again for the jobs I do most of the time. It's a quality product that's very easy to maintain (except that one zerk behind a shielf on the front-middle of the darn drive shaft), efficient on fuel, does everything a tractor with a loader should do for a "pro-sumer" landowner. But you'll want to buy a bigger machine soon to do any heavy dirt work, feeding round bales to critters, any row crop farming etc. with more weight, stability, PTO horsepower and to reduce job times. And the 2025R is tall and MUST be properly ballasted permanently in the tires (or full set of wheel weights) PLUS the 3 point with at least 500lbs for any loader work. Even then, it will not handle the same slopes as heavier/wider machines will. Great size though to get into gardens and tight spaces and fuel efficient for bush hogging (4' bush hog), grappling good sized 10' sections of trees around 1' in diameter and respectable fork lift capacity and dirt moving and other loader work around the house and barn. And bush hogging (with a 4' bush hog) is a LOT nicer with the 2025R versus the 1025R as you're higher up above the debris. But that 120R loader isn't going to handle everything you'll want to do, particularly lifting above 4' high or so as it's spec'd to avoid lifting that lighter rear end of the machine off the ground. And you need to think about your attachment investment (4' or 5' attachments are a big difference in job times on the 3pt especially and VERY hard to justify the costs of upgrading these from 4' wide to 5' wide later to cover the tracks). If you can swing it, hold your nose and go up a 5' wide machine up front... unless the 2025R's lower total ownership cost, lower attachment cost, 4' width and maneuverability are more important criteria. Good luck shopping!

Pros

Great tractor

Chose the 2025 for my 4 acres. Plenty of power. I ordered the grapple and have been more than happy with its abilities. Great tractor

Pros

2025R

Bought new, 2018, 2025R Gen 2... This tractor has been great from the start. Have used the bucket, AV20F grapple mostly. I've just turned 912 hours on this machine, the only thing needing replaced was "one" short hyd hose for the bucket, and "one" hyd hose for the grapple. This tractor has been worked using common sense of experience, and proudly maintained by myself. I've been very happy with the choice of 2025R for my 15 acre homestead. GreenMark Equipment has been a great dealership since the beginning.

Pros

Cons

Powerful!

I bought this 2025R a few weeks ago. I now have about 7 1/2 hours on it, most of the use will be over the fall and winter months. But I have started cutting a road in through the back wood to haul wood when the time comes. I have spent the last 35 years around bigger tractors in the 50/60 hp range and I have to say, I love this tractor! I bought the bucket loader, forks, snowblower and ballast box. I highly recommend the ballast box when using the bucket loader. So far so good, great tractor for a small property owner!

Pros

2017 2025r

I purchased my 2025r in Beaumont Texas and is cheaply built

Pros

Cons

2025R Big disappointment!

I recently traded my 2010 JD 2320 with a 62" drive over mower deck for a 2021 JD 2025R with a 60" auto-connect mower deck. I ordered this tractor and when it arrived this was sure a disappointment. The 2025R just seems cheap!! For example the individual brakes have been reduced to a single brake pedal, the drawbar has been replaced by a plate with a hole in it, the light that indicates that the 4WD is engaged no longer exists, the levers to shift the pto and hi and lo for the transmission seem very flimsy compared to the old solid levers, the rollbar no longer folds down out of the way, instead it folds down just enough to walk right in to it with your forehead when you try to walk behind the tractor and finally the pedal to lock the differential is just a rod that only sticks out about an inch. I was told by my salesman that there is an aftermarket pedal you can get for the diff lock. When I ordered this tractor I did not see the new models, but I went with 2025r Instead a 1025r because I didn't want to go backwards, but compared to my 2320 it doesn't seem to live up to the standards. I was told that the 2320 was made by Yanmar for John Deere and that the 2025R is made directly by John Deere this is probably the most disappointing part!!

Pros

Cons

2015 great combination tractor

I bought this tractor a month ago and traded in a 1025r it feels like more tractor and I love it very useful and works hard

This thing rocks!!

Very powerful little machine, it's great for getting into small places but is happy in wide open spaces as well.
