Fast Hydraulics, Even at Idle! Turbo Deere 1025R and Big Mouth Grapple!

Overview

This video follows a husband-and-wife team trimming low oak limbs and clearing a neighbor's fence-row brush, then grappling the debris with a 1025R that has been upgraded for higher hydraulic flow (their "Johnny X" build). The standout moment is a practical observation that the improved hydraulics let the grapple operate smoothly at idle, quieter and more controllable. It's a casual real-world outing rather than a spec-focused review; best for 1025R owners curious how a hydraulic-flow upgrade affects everyday loader work.
