Overview
A hands-on owner's farewell review shot the day before trading in his 2021 1025R. He walks through specific gripes, ROPS design, diff-lock placement, three-point lift height that drags on trailers, light placement, and hydrostatic rollout, then covers what he liked: loader removal, JD quick-attach, tires, ergonomics, and ease of servicing. Lightly detailed with no specs or numbers, but the honest pro/con format suits prospective buyers comparing real-world opinions.
An owner-operator sharing a personal farewell impression of his own machine on the day before trading it in, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
