New 2021 John Deere 1025R, Changes, Quick Hitch Changes, Loader Install, and New Bolt Kit!
Overview
This episode centers on three distinct topics: a step-by-step 120R loader bracket installation on a new 2021 1025R (including torque specs and a Loctite tip), a detailed look at front quick-hitch compatibility changes between the 2021 model and earlier 1-series frames, and a pitch for a Heavy Hitch bolt assortment kit. Owner-operators curious about the 2021 model-year bracket changes or DIY loader installation will find the most value here.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and DIY projects, with an affiliate relationship with Heavy Hitch (coupon code mentioned), so expect a positive lean toward that brand's products.
