Overview
A hands-on walkthrough of upgrading a John Deere 1025R from a four-port to a six-port single-point hydraulic connector kit. Tim works through the actual swap with a helper, covering the two kit variations (for tractors with or without an existing connector), fitting and routing hoses, adapters, and a compatibility warning for 2023-and-newer models with factory hard lines. Most useful for 1025R owners planning this specific upgrade.
