1038X vs. Johnny Popper! Dyno Test. Turbocharged Deere 1025R, Stock 1025R & John Deere Model A!

Reviews & comparisons25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

The standout feature here is an actual PTO dyno test comparing a stock John Deere 1025R, a turbocharged 1025R (the '1038X'), and a classic John Deere Model A, with real pressure-to-horsepower readings read off an antique chart. The video walks through how the hydraulic dyno works and reports specific PTO horsepower numbers for each machine. Best for 1025R owners curious whether the factory spec holds up and whether a turbo kit meaningfully moves the needle.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-enthusiast channel focused on compact tractors, presenting itself as hobbyist-level rather than expert, with an informal and entertainment-oriented style.
