Read articles →A side-by-side walkaround of a 1023E and 1025R using actual used inventory, covering loader differences (pinned vs. quick-attach bucket, D120 upgrade options), backhoe variants (260 vs. 260B), and comfort features like tilt steering, work lights, and toolbox. The presenter frankly calls the 2-horsepower gap insignificant and pegs the used price difference at $1,000, $3,000. Best for shoppers weighing whether the 1025R upgrades justify the premium.
Good Works Tractors is a dealership that sells used tractors and ships attachments nationwide, so expect a sales-adjacent perspective, though the presenter does offer candid assessments alongside the product promotion.
