JOHN DEERE 1025R Luxury Suspension Seat Install. Subcompact Tractor Riding on a Cloud!

Maintenance25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A real-time, unscripted installation of a suspension seat from trackseat.com on a friend's 1025R, done by someone who is not a professional mechanic. It covers rail removal, dealing with accessories already on the tractor (including a bolt-on diff-lock pedal), spacer and seat-switch frustrations, and an honest mid-install discovery that the supplied bolts don't fit. Best for owners weighing this specific seat upgrade who want a candid, warts-and-all look.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, presenting themselves as enthusiastic non-experts rather than mechanics or dealers, with an affiliate relationship with trackseat.com (discount code offered at the end).
