You Said I’d Burn the House Down! 1025R vs TURBO Johnny X on PTO Generator.

Hydraulics & PTO25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A follow-up episode responding to viewer criticism of an earlier PTO generator setup, this video walks through rewiring a 50-amp inlet box with number-four copper cable, then live-loads the house to measure real kilowatt draw leg by leg, oven, furnace, dryer, on both a stock 1025R and a Hydros Plus turbocharged version. Best for owners already considering a tractor-driven backup power setup who want honest load-testing numbers and a candid comparison of the two tractors under strain.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, presented in a casual, self-deprecating style with no apparent dealership affiliation, though the Hydros Plus turbo kit receives an unpaid but clearly enthusiastic mention.
