So the 1025r has a total of 6.8 hours on it and has completed more projects and mowing jobs that I am current ahead of schedule with all of my projects. First project ever was cutting 2 acres of my aunts/neighbors lawn, the 60"MMM literally cut the cutting time in half. Next project was mowing my own lawn. The tight turning radius and easy maneuverability of the 1025r made mowing a yard with a lot of tight turns into child's play. You might be thinking that the 1025 is only used to mow lawns, wrong. It moved 2.5tons of topsoil for a raised garden bed, spread mulch, cleared a fallen down cherry tree and brush, moved logs, moved river rock at the neighbors and is currently awaiting to tackle 22tons of river rock at the house.
I used to scoff at the fact when people would pull into the driveway as I was working, now I look forward to people stopping while I am on the tractor. When people do stop the first thing I do after discussion has stopped is say, "Here watch this". I take off the MMM, FEL and backhoe and you can just see the amusement in their faces. I showed my cousin how easy removing the attachments are and his reaction was, "Now thats neat right there, that how it should be", mind you he has a Case tractor.
In conclusion, with almost 7 hours on my tractor, I cant say that I am the best candidate to be giving this kind of review, but as of right now, I wouldnt give a bad review of the 1025r. I pushed a piled of brush, large branches, this weekend and the tractor didnt even notice it. There is practically 0 learning curve when it comes to operation, my mother, sisters and wife who have zero experience with tractors were able to operate the 1025 with little guidance from me. Long story shot, I couldnt be happier with my 1025r.
