Bad Boy 4025

A hands-on owner review after roughly a year and a half of real use on a small homestead, not a dealer pitch. Distinctive for directly testing whether the 4025 can lift heavy round bales despite widespread skepticism, and showing it on camera. Also covers hydrostatic transmission ranges, four-wheel drive and locking differential in wet conditions, fence post pulling and driving, bucket size limitations, a loader arm durability incident, and a specific oil filter crossover (Wix WL7237) with oil change basics. Best for prospective buyers weighing whether a 25-horsepower compact can handle serious lifting chores.

An owner-operator sharing candid long-term impressions from their own homestead property, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
