Overview
This video stands out by using an actual load cell to measure real pulling numbers on a John Deere 1025R, both before and after a hydraulic oil and filter change. It records specific peak-pull figures in high and low range, four-wheel drive, and tests whether pedal travel affects output. Results are informal backyard science, not lab conditions, but the before/after comparison gives 1025R owners something concrete to chew on.
