Overview
This video focuses on the 2026-2027 transition from the 1025R to the new 1M25, 1E23, and 1R25 lineup, drawing on spec comparisons and the creator's own cabbed 1025R as a physical reference point. It covers key changes, factory HVAC cab trade-offs (no backhoe compatibility, 16-inch overhang), one-piece hood, exhaust redirection, digital instrument cluster, and loader updates, plus brief notes on pricing trends. Best for current 1025R owners weighing whether to upgrade or buy now before the changeover.
An owner-operator sharing observations from their own 1025R, working from published specs and photos rather than hands-on time with the new machines.
