Overview
HydrosPlus bought this 2025 2025R specifically to develop an aftermarket hydraulic kit, so the whole video is filtered through that product-development lens rather than a general buyer review. It walks through what changed on the 120R loader ports and exhaust outlet, runs a baseline power-comparison test (getting 15.75 HP, notably below typical 1025R numbers), and previews planned work including replumbing and eventually a turbo. Most useful to owners interested in hydraulic upgrades or power mods, less so for shoppers wanting a straight feature walkthrough.
HydrosPlus appears to be a business or enthusiast channel that develops and sells aftermarket hydraulic kits for small tractors, so the video is framed around their product-development needs rather than an independent ownership or dealer perspective.
