Read articles βThe distinctive angle here is a value argument: the host makes a deliberate case for buying a 1025R used rather than new, walking through real September 2024 asking prices pulled live from Tractor House, the hidden cost of zero-percent financing, and how the 1025R's popularity creates a deep used-market supply. No hands-on operation shown; this is a market-analysis talk. Best for buyers still deciding new vs. used.
Good Works Tractors is a tractor-attachment retailer that also sells used tractors, so the used-over-new recommendation aligns with their business, though the host openly acknowledges that conflict.
The host argues used is the smarter buy because the 1025R's popularity creates a deep used market with low-hour machines, while new prices have climbed and zero percent financing often hides extra cost.
Not necessarily. Dealers often bake interest cost into the zero percent price, so you pay more than if you negotiated a cash price and paid outright.
On Tractor House, the cheapest new 1025R with a loader and mower deck listed was just over $27,000, with many backhoe-equipped units in the $28,000 to $29,000 range.
Because the 1025R is so popular, similar to the Ford F-150, it naturally has a larger secondary market supply compared to less common tractor models.
