Overview
Brock walks through the new John Deere 1M25 and 1R25 as replacements for the 1025R and 2025R, focusing on what actually changed: the factory air-conditioned cab, one-piece hood, standard third function, and integrated joystick. He explains why cab pricing is tricky on 25-hp tractors, notes the ~2.5-hp AC draw, flags the backhoe incompatibility with the cab, and offers a rough price estimate. No pricing was available, so this is a first-look walkaround rather than a buying-decision deep-dive. Best for 1025R owners curious about what's new.
An owner-operator channel that regularly runs equipment on their own property, so expect practical, hands-on perspective with no apparent dealer affiliation, though Brock was viewing a pre-release unit at what appears to be a manufacturer or dealer event.
