Do NOT Run Your Tractor at Idle! Here’s Why!! Deere 1025R Hydraulic Flow

This video runs an actual hydraulic flow meter through every port on the 1025R, rear power beyond, rear SCVs, front loader ports, and third-function kit, at multiple RPM levels and under load, producing real GPM numbers. The core finding: idle produces roughly 1 GPM versus ~3 GPM at full throttle, with a candid discussion of why the spec of 3.5 GPM wasn't quite reached. Best for 1025R owners curious about hydraulic capacity or loader sluggishness at low RPM.
