The Little Tractor that Couldn't - John Deere 1025R Review

Overview

An owner's candid farewell review of a 2021 John Deere 1025R he's selling after roughly nine months on 20 acres. The core argument: the machine is well-built but undersized for larger properties, with a four-foot bush hog limit and roughly 700-800 lb loader capacity hampering productivity. He compares it directly to his larger Coyote DK 5310. Best for buyers wondering whether a 1025R will keep pace with real acreage work.

An early-stage hobbyist channel from an owner-operator who openly acknowledges he is new to making videos and is still figuring out production basics.
