AUTO STEER! John Deere 1025R with FJDynamics Kit! Subcompact Tractor!
Overview
This video focuses specifically on the FJDynamics aftermarket auto-steer kit installed on a John Deere 1025R, covering physical installation of the replacement steering wheel and components, system configuration measurements, GPS antenna placement, and RTK correction options including free state-run networks. Pricing is spelled out: $6,800 for the base kit, $2,000 for the optional mobile base station, with a one-time U-turn upgrade around $479. Actual field use is deferred to a follow-up episode, so this is primarily a components-and-setup walkthrough rather than a performance evaluation. Best for compact tractor owners curious about affordable third-party auto-steer options.
An owner-operator channel run by a hobbyist/family content creator who self-describes as a non-expert experimenting with compact tractor projects, so expect candid impressions rather than technical authority.
