Overview
This is a pre-drive analysis, not a hands-on test: Tim walks the new 2025R at a dealer event, comparing specs and features point-by-point against the 1025R and the large-frame 2032R/2038R (tires, wheelbase, hydraulic flow, turning radius, weight, three-point hitch design, price at $20,930 with loader). No driving, loader work, or backhoe use yet. Best for shoppers deciding whether to step up from a 1025R.
An enthusiast family-run channel giving an owner's comparative first-look opinion rather than a dealership sales pitch, though the walkaround happened at a dealer event.
