Too Much to Handle? 5' Tiller with John Deere 1025R Subcompact? Tractor Basics

This video directly tests whether a 5-foot tiller is a practical match for a John Deere 1025R on a real 1.5-acre job in wet, tough conditions, and the honest answer is no. The creator runs multiple passes, then swaps to a larger 2038R for a side-by-side comparison that makes the mismatch obvious. Includes candid observations on tiller rotation speed and blade condition. Best for 1025R owners weighing tiller sizing.
