NEW Hydraulic Top & Side Links For Subcompact Tractors, John Deere 1025R!

Maintenance25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A deep-dive installation walkthrough of Summit Hydraulics' top-and-tilt kit on a 1025R, with honest critique throughout, noting the missing check valve, the limited two-inch stroke on the subcompact cylinder, hose routing headaches, and speed-control fixes using flow restrictors. The creator also compares the 1025R kit to larger 2R/3R systems and names the only two known suppliers. Best for owners seriously considering buying and installing this kit.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, sharing hands-on project experience from their own equipment rather than representing a dealership or manufacturer.
