They Say It's Just A Big Garden Tractor? JD X700 vs 1025r

Reviews & comparisons25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

This is a spec-by-spec comparison, not a hands-on demo: the host pulls Tractor Data and John Deere's website side-by-side to argue the X758 garden tractor and 1025R subcompact aren't equivalent machines. It covers weight, wheelbase, tire size, pricing, standard features (lights, toolbox, joystick, 3-point hitch/PTO), transaxle fluid capacity, and engine bore/stroke/compression. Best for shoppers weighing garden vs. subcompact who want the numbers laid out rather than footage of either tractor working.

Good Works Tractors sells tractor attachments, and this video leans toward steering buyers to the subcompact (1025R) over the garden tractor, so treat the comparison as somewhat opinionated rather than neutral.
