ENOUGH CURL? Deere 120R MSL Moving Dirt and Pallets: Deere 1025R

Operation25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

This video's angle is a side-by-side comparison: the host puts a guest, an experienced Kubota B2650 owner with no self-leveling loader background, on the Deere 1025R's 120R MSL to get unbiased first impressions. They work through a real dirt-moving task and pallet forks work, openly noting the limited bucket curl and the 1025R's known weakness running two hydraulic functions simultaneously. Honest about trade-offs; best for shoppers weighing the self-leveling upgrade decision.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and property projects, presenting themselves as enthusiastic non-experts rather than dealers or industry professionals.
