Overview
A dealership salesperson walks through both tractors side by side, covering loader removal, single-point hydraulics, operator platform controls, and how the 2025R differs in size, ground clearance, and hydraulic lift capacity. Implement recommendations by size (rotary tillers, box blades, backhoe, mowing decks) and a three-way tire comparison add practical detail. Closes with a rough $2,500 price gap. Best for early-stage shoppers deciding between these two models.
Posted by a salesperson at Reynolds Farm Equipment dealership in Muncie, Indiana, so the tone is sales-oriented throughout.
