Metal Shavings in Oil? John Deere 1025R 200 Hour Hydraulic Oil Change

Maintenance25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

An updated DIY walkthrough replacing an earlier video in the channel's 1025R maintenance series, with the notable hook being real metal shavings found on the transmission magnet at only 115 hours. It covers the full hydraulic oil change step by step, tools needed, a tricky suction hose, a stubborn factory-tightened filter, and refill quantity, with honest commentary on the hard parts. Best for 1025R owners doing their first 200-hour service themselves.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor DIY projects, presenting the work from a homeowner's perspective rather than a professional mechanic's.
