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