JOHN DEERE 1025R HYDRAULIC FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE

This is a hands-on 50-hour hydraulic fluid and filter change on a 1025R, done by an owner instead of waiting over a month for dealer service. It walks through the drain plug, cleaning the magnet, and finding paint/plastic debris in the fluid housing, plus a candid mistake: leaving the backhoe on made hose access much harder. Useful for owners doing their own service, with a clear lesson to remove the backhoe first.

Posted by an owner-operator documenting a DIY service on their own machine, including mistakes made along the way.
