Overview

This episode puts both the Kubota BX2680 and John Deere 1025R on an antique dynamometer (borrowed from a local antique tractor club) to measure actual PTO horsepower against rated specs. It walks through how the dyno works, notes calibration uncertainties, and records readings for multiple tractors including both subcompacts. Both machines tested notably above their rated PTO figures. Best for shoppers curious about real-world PTO output comparisons between these two models.
