WORRISOME! Ohio State Tests Reveal Johnny X Issues. John Deere 1025R Subcompact Tractor

Reviews & comparisons25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

Filmed at Ohio State University with a hydraulics class, this video uses students to stress-test "Johnny X", a hydraulics-upgraded 1025R, against a stock machine, measuring real flow and PSI numbers through a power-beyond port and SCV, and logging hydraulic oil temperatures up to 200-210°F. The class setting drives genuine technical discussion, including why max PSI rises at high throttle and when flow loss begins above 190°F. Best for owners interested in 1025R hydraulic upgrade specifics.

An owner-operator channel where the host brings his personally modified tractor to an outside testing environment, so the perspective is enthusiast and hands-on rather than dealer or manufacturer.
