John Deere 1025R

Both 4WD and power steering are standard equipment on the 1025R. This combination allows for excellent maneuverability and ease of operation of the tractor.

• Narrow overall width allows the 1025R to work in tight areas where most compact tractors just cannot fit, yet the 144.8-cm (57-in.) wheel base and 119.4 cm (47 in.) overall width gives great stability for all type of terrains.
• Power steering means fewer turns of the steering wheel than manual steering; especially valuable when mowing around obstacles or when the tractor is used with a front loader.
• High horsepower-to-weight ratio makes the 1025R a good choice for a variety of tasks; overall tractor weight reduces ground compaction and makes the 1025R an excellent mowing tractor.
• The power take-off (PTO) is a fully-independent PTO on the 1025R, allowing engaging and disengaging of the PTO without stopping tractor movement. This is important when driving across obstacles such as driveways while mowing.

• Front Quik-Tatch™ hitch makes changing front implements quick and easy
• All front implements (blade, brooms, and snow blowers) use a common hitch
• AutoConnect™ mid-mount mower decks, D120 and H120 Loaders, and 260 Backhoe can be taken on or off within 5 minutes, and no tools are necessary
• Changing rear implements is a snap with the iMatch^TM Quick-Hitch, which has three fixed points to back in and pick up a rear implement that is iMatch compatible

*Features shown are available with all current model year tractors.

Implement compounding (1025R Tractor shown)

• Allows mounting more than one implement at a time, eliminating implement changeover
• Loader, mid mower, backhoe, and a variety of 3-point hitch implements can be attached to the tractor at the same time

The 1023E and 1025R Tractors feature a HST.

• Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels through a hydraulic pump and motor
• The hydrostatic-drive unit functions both as a clutch and transmission

Twin Touch foot controls

Twin Touch foot controls allow selecting both speed and direction of travel with a touch of the toe. Ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.

• Infinite ground speeds, even at full throttle, to match the job
• No clutching for fast direction changes
• Faster, easier, and more precise to operate than competitive tractors with treadle pedal design (toe-heel)
• Provides high torque for start up
• Reduces power train shock loads
• Large foot pedals were designed for operator comfort and allow for convenient operation of the tractor

Two-speed transmission

Transmission has two speeds - Hi and Lo range.

• The range lever is located next to the seat, conveniently within reach of the operator
• Lo range allows performing tougher tasks at higher speeds than competitive tractors equipped with a three-range transmission (that is, lo range on three-speed transaxle is slower than lo range on a two-speed transaxle)

Durability features include:

1. Large forged one-piece trunnion shaft with larger support bearings that reduce vibration and noise.
2. Innovative transaxle combines an HST, gear reduction axle, and clutch.
3. Pressure side filtration allows using a finer-mesh filter (10 micron) than suction filtration systems use on many competitive tractors.
4. One pump to supply charge pressure and implement flow. A flow divider splits the flow to various circuits throughout the tractor.
5. The transaxle has an oil cooler which provides improved hydraulic cooling performance.

iMatch Quick-Hitch

iMatch Quick-Hitch (LVB25976)

iMatch Quick-Hitch with rotary cutter hookup (LVB25976)

One of the greatest operator concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

• All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

NOTE: The bushing set can be seen in the picture above. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

• Upper bushing
  • Inside diameter: 1.93-1.95 cm (0.76-0.77 in.)
  • Outside diameter: 3.15-3.18 cm (1.24-1.25 in.)
• Lower bushings
  • Inside diameter: 2.24-2.26 cm (0.88 to 0.89 in.)
  • Outside diameter: 3.63-3.66 cm (1.43 to 1.44 in.)

Gas-lift spring

• The under-hood gas-lift support provides easy one-finger access to the engine compartment and eliminates the need for a mechanical prop rod.
• This design of the support structure provides excellent rigidity for the hood.

1025R Tractor

• The 1 Family tractors includes factory-installed mechanical deck lift components.
• The addition of these components from the factory significantly reduces the time required to do the initial mower deck installation at the time of purchase.
• Refer to the mowers and material collection page for more details on mower deck installation and compatibility.

The cab offers protection from the elements and expands the versatility of 1025R Tractors to perform in all climates.

Drive-over deck makes connection simple

1 Family Tractors are designed to minimize the time and effort needed to switch-out implements to accommodate different jobs.

• AutoConnect Deck System: Connect a mid-mount mower deck to the tractor in less than 60 seconds without leaving the seat except to lock the gauge wheels.
  • Load-N-Go attachment: Easily move your 54D or 60D AutoConnect Deck with your John Deere Loader after it has been disconnected from the tractor with the Load-N-Go ramps.
• Quik-Park© Loader System: 120R Quik-Park© Loaders are designed for easy mounting and removal in about a minute, with no tools needed.
• Quik-Tatch© front hitch: Save time switching front implements like a snow blower, rotary broom, or front blade without tools.
• iMatch© quick-hitch: Easily hookup Category 1 implements in seconds using three fixed points to back in and pick up rear implements without leaving the seat
  • Position control hitch: Set the rear hitch height and then consistently lower the hitch to the exact height every time, which is especially useful in grading and leveling applications.
• Quik-Knect© system: Connect power take-off (PTO)-driven implements quickly and with low physical effort. The Quik-Knect system utilizes one connector for the tractor’s PTO shaft and a designated connector for each implement which eliminates twisting and forcing splines to align.

1 Family Tractors can have up to three implements mounted simultaneously due to standard dual selective control valves (SCVs), allowing you to switch from using one implement to another without stopping to adjust. When a third SCV kit is added, the number of possible combinations is greatly increased.

Twin Touch© pedals

The hydrostatic transmission’s infinite ground speeds and direction of travel are both controlled with the Twin Touch foot pedals.

• Ideal for loader or mower applications where frequent direction and speed changes are needed
• No clutching for fast direction changes
• Match the job at hand with infinite ground speeds

Mid-mower lift system options

Mid-mower lift system options

Standard mechanical mower lift
 
The standard mechanical mower lift system moves the mower in conjunction with the rear implements and comes factory-installed on 1 Family Tractors.

 
Optional hydraulic mower lift
 
The optional hydraulic mower lift system allows the mower to be raised and lowered independently of the rear implements. It uses the loader joystick to lift and lower the mower deck.

 
Optional independent hydraulic mower lift
 
The optional independent hydraulic lift system allows the mower to be raised and lowered independently of the rear and front implements. It operates using a rocker switch mounted on the tractor, located at the operator’s left knee.
