NOW WE’LL KNOW!! Oil Temperature with HydrosPlus and Summit Hydraulics. 1025R Subcompact Tractor
Overview
This video documents the installation of a custom oil temperature gauge on two John Deere 1025Rs to monitor heat after adding Summit Hydraulics and Hydros Plus upgrades. It walks through the physical install, explains why the sensor must go on the unpressurized intake tube, and shares early real-world temperature findings, though sample sizes are small and results are openly described as preliminary. Best for 1025R owners who've already added or are considering these hydraulic upgrades and want data on heat risk.
