John Deere 2025R tractor first oil change.

A real owner walking through his first engine oil change and hydrostat filter change on a 2025R at 47 hours, with the mid-mount mower attached and then removed. Covers drain plug removal, filter access challenges, correct oil spec (JD Plus-50 0W40, ~3.5 qt), greasing driveshaft U-joints and loader zerks, and honest tool tips from someone who improvised with channel-locks. Best for 2025R or 1025R owners doing this themselves for the first time.

An owner-operator filming in his backyard shop, sharing candid first-hand experience rather than any professional or dealership perspective.
