JOHN DEERE 1025R COMPACT TRACTOR RIGHT FOR YOU?? WHAT CAN THE JOHN DEERE 1025R DO??

This is a one-year-ownership retrospective, not a walkaround or spec breakdown: Jeff from Watkins Tree Farm reflects on a full year running his 1026R (predecessor to the 1025R) on a small Christmas tree farm, recapping real tasks like spreading rock with the loader, box-blading the driveway, tilling gardens, moving a bridge, and using forks for storm cleanup. No numbers, pricing, or hands-on demo, just an owner's candid, big-picture case for whether this tractor fits a small-acreage lifestyle.
