3025D

JD not what it was

25 hrs and the PTO sensor already failed. I have a 20 year old 4210 and this tractor is not near the quality. Everything is Zip Tied. How long do this last against the sun. The foot gas pedal is obstructed when in second gear. the whole tractor has been cheapened at every point.

Pros

Cons

Had it for a month. Loader controller is dripping fluid. Dealer is sending someone to look at it. Otherwise, all is good.

Pros

Cons

Smooth operations

I think this is the perfect size tractor for the average homeowner with 5 to 10 acres one big down fall is all tractors should come with a third function at the very least and shouldn't cost extra but other then that my 3025 D is a great machine

Pros

Cons

Poor attention to details

Literally The first time I used the 3 point hitch to attach the bush hog, the lever to adjust the height disconnected from the hydraulic mechanism and you can no longer adjust the height of the hitch in back. I’ve had the tractor for about a month. Also, I randomly found a spring underneath the tractor don’t know if it’s related to the part above not being attached or if it’s something separate that’s also falling apart. This should be a simple fix, but I worry it’s indicative of the lack of care they spend assembling these tractors.

Small but powerful

I bought this a little over a month ago and it has exceeded my expectations. Very powerful tractor for its size.

Great tractor with lots of attachments available

This is everything and more that I was looking for in a tractor. Quality craftsmanship, ease of use and price was important to me.

Pros

Cons

Love this thing!

I have put about 21 hours on this little tractor so far and found it to be perfect for my needs. I am not a farmer and in fact, this is my first tractor. Although it is a bit small for mowing my 20 acres, it was easy to learn, responsive, and capable. The front end loader will heft a little over a ton, the eight speed transmission will move you about as fast as you want to go, and it does not bog down when you have to tow (or drag) something. I have had the opportunity to use the four wheel drive, which oddly comes in two parts: positive traction for the rear and front wheel drive -- operated separately. The console keeps me informed of everything that I need to know, like PTO RPMs and hours, hours on the engine, and a full set of warning lights. Finally, since it is less than 25 HP, it doesn't require fuel additive and the five gallon tank will run it for about ten hours. Bottom line: a bit small for mowing large tracts of land with its five foot deck, it handles well, has lots of power, and is cheap to run. I recommend it over the 3025E with its advanced transmission, as the 3025D has more pulling and lifting power.

Pros

Cons

More power than I expected

Should have purchased it 6 months earlier.My property looks so much better now.

Happy John Deere 3025D Customer

The John Deere 3025D is the first compact tractor I have owned. I had large tractors years ago. I needed a small tractor to maintain gravel roads, build new gravel roads, remove brush, and do other miscellaneous tasks on two acres (that may increase to four acres). I did not need a mower, so I did not purchase one. I did get a Front End Loader, Canopy, Frontier BB5060 Box Blade, Frontier Pallet Forks, and a Frontier Manual Roots Grapple. (The manual grapple is great!) So far, I have hauled and spread 24 cubic yards of limestone road base and 3/4 inch rock, and the tractor has about 22 hours on it. I have done the 10 hour and 20 hour scheduled maintenance myself. Torquing the wheel nuts was good exercise. I wanted a gear drive tractor rather than a hydrostatic drive. I chose the 3025D rather than the John Deere 10 or 20 Series, because I wanted the wider rear wheel spacing and larger rear tires for stability. And, the 3025D is heavier than the hydrostatic drive model. The extra weight also helps stability. Some of my two acres are not perfectly flat and more stable is better. At this point, I am totally satisfied with the John Deere 3025D. The tractor seems very well balanced and stable, using just the box blade as ballast when moving full buckets of limestone base or rock. The only time the tractor uses any significant amount of power is when loading the bucket. The four wheel drive and differential lock are handy then to avoid wheel spin. The rest of the time, the tractor is just loafing - power wise. I am amazed at how little fuel the tractor uses. I really like the Forward/Neutral/Reverse lever on the dash. The 3025D has two gear ranges and a four speed gearbox, so there are 8 Forward and 8 Reverse gear options. So, far I have only operated in Low Range. I find that I only shift into first gear when loading the bucket. Then I operate in third or fourth gear when traveling, dumping, smoothing, etc. So, I find there is really very little gear shifting needed for the tasks I have done so far. I have had zero issues with the new tractor. Everything worked. There were no leaks of any kind. Routine maintenance is very easy. All of the grease fittings are easy to reach - even the ones on the front axle (those don't have to be greased often). I never anticipate removing the front end loader on my tractor, so having a quick attach FEL was not important to me. I don't even remove the bucket or box blade. They all fit in my garage. I have the three point quick hitch, so removing or hooking up the box blade will be easy. I made a raised gravel pad for the grapple and pallet forks to store on outside. I really like the canopy. In West Texas summers, a canopy is needed. The canopy does not get in the way, even when getting on and off the tractor. I can't think of anything I would change or add on my John Deere 3025D. Almost every day, I think of something new I can use it to do. My only regret is not getting it sooner.

3025D Tractor

Bought the tractor last fall, wonderful utility unit, has saved many man hours and plus is just fun to ride! They say they can see my smile from miles away😊

Pros

satisfied

i bought this last year and have had any problems at all very good tractor

Pros

Cons

Great tractor

Had this tractor for a few weeks now, for only 25hp I have to say it's done what I've wanted it to do. The only complaint I really have about it, is there is no live pto, which is why I only give this 4 stars. Love the gear drive transmission, it's very quiet for a diesel engine, and it pulls like a beast!

Pros

Cons

Overall Great Tractor

I really like the features and ease of operation of this Tractor. A lot of HP to the ground and the PTO. I have a 5' rotary cutter and a 6' roto-tiller that this unit handles easily. I have the quick attach for the 3pt hitch and its awesome. The tractor has decent lifting capacity for its size both bucket and 3pt hitch. We have 60 rural acres in southeast Ga. with 5 rental units and the main home, this is a perfect size for maintaining the mowing and driveway repairs economically.

Pros

Strong Little tractor

I purchased in DEC 2019 and went to work, plenty of power and great on fuel. Everything you would expect in a John Deere and I didn't break the bank. Price was very good value for what you get and the best part is the gear drive gives you a real low range, unlike Hydro. One Happy Customer.

2019 3025D review

I wanted a gear driven tractor set up similar to my old 8N and this tractor fit the bill. It has 8 forward and 8 reverse (4 high, 4 low) gears with lots of pulling power. The four wheel drive works great and the 25hp engine has not let me down. I highly recommend the 3 series D unless all you do is loader work. Unlike the old 8N, which had to have an overrunning shaft added, the 3025D has an overrunning clutch that stops the PTO. Breaks can be unlocked and used separately for those tight turns needed in the field, or locked when running down the road.

Pros

• great pulling power
• power steering is amazing
• four wheel drive works great
• seating area is comfortable
• fuel tank is in a great position behind the seat
• the bucket comes off and on easy
• solid built tractor w/more weight than e/r series
• great console design w/digital hr meter/pto rpm
• front lights work great
• brake lights and hazards are great for on road

Cons

• a live pto option would be nice
• 2nd to 3rd gear ratio in high needs to be closer
• high/low range shifter at times is in the way
• the 300e loader does not detach w/out buying a kit
• rear r4 tires tend to spin in deep dirt or rock
• can only get on/off on one side
• bucket level indicator should be standard

Love this LITTLE tractoR

Has to be weighted front and back to do tillage work in garden. Love the operator station

Pros

• very frindly user

Cons

• no live pto
• ordered tractor in april 2019 and received in octo
