John Deere 2025R

The 2R Series are equipped with a two-range hydrostatic transmission (HST) incorporated in a die-cast aluminum transmission case. Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels via a closed-loop pump and motor arrangement. Infinite ground speeds allow the operator to match the speed of the tractor to the job.

• No clutching for fast and easy direction changes
• Twin Touch© foot pedals for quick and easy forward/reverse operation
• Transmission oil cooler cools transmission oil for longer transmission life

Safety features of the HST include:

• The tractor will only start with the range lever in neutral
  • If the range lever is in gear when the key is turned to the start position, the instrument panel instructs the operator to shift to neutral
• The engine will shut off if the operator leaves the seat and the forward/reverse pedals are depressed

Two-range transmission

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
• All tasks can be performed using two ranges on the 2025R which means less shifting throughout the day

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 the use of a fine-mesh filter
4. One pump to supply charge pressure and implement 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

Easy to change implements

• Front Quik-Tatch© hitch makes changing front implements quick and easy
• All front implements (blades, brooms, and snow blowers) use a common hitch
• AutoConnect© Mid-Mount Mower Deck, 120R Loader, and 260B Backhoe can be taken on or off within 5 minutes, and no tools are required
• Changing rear implements is a snap with the iMatch© Quick-Hitch, which has three fixed points to back in and pick up a rear implement that is iMatch compatible

Implement compounding (2025R Tractor shown)

• Loader, mid-mower, and a variety of rear hitch implements can be attached to the tractor at the same time

• Optional premium independent mid lift system operates independent of the rear 3-point hitch. This gives the operator the flexibility to leave the mid mower attached when completing other tasks.

The optional premium independent lift system has been improved over the current 1 Family system by now allowing the operator to have full control of the mower deck in both the raise and lower positions. When the operator reaches the desired height, the button can be released and the deck will hold its position. This feature reduces the effort required to adjust the height-of-cut (HOC) dial and it also allows for quick height changes on the go.

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.)

Regular service and maintenance are essential to the performance, productivity, and longevity of the tractor.

• Two quarter-turn fasteners allow operators to easily remove the engine side panels without tools to access to the engine compartment.

Fasteners on the engine side panels

• The under-hood gas-lift support provides easy access to the engine compartment and eliminates the need for a mechanical prop rod.

Under-hood gas lift makes it easy to access the engine

• External hood latch requires no tools and can release using the tractor key.

• Easy access to regular service points minimizes service time.

• Daily service checks, such as checking the engine oil or water separator, can be done without opening the hood or removing the tractor side panels.

• Tractors are equipped with a mechanical air filter restriction indicator that alerts the operator when the air filter needs to be cleaned or changed.

Air filter restriction indicator

• All external engine, fuel, and transmission filters are easily accessible.
• Fuel tank is located on the rear of the tractor to allow for easy access when fueling.

NOTE:  Always refer to the operator’s manual for complete maintenance and service recommendations.

2025R Tractor

• The 2025R model 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.

An optional auto throttle kit is available for the 2025R Tractors. This feature is designed to make the tractor quieter and use less fuel. With auto throttle installed, the engine rpm and transmission speed will increase as the Twin Touch© pedals are depressed. This feature can be beneficial for use in many different applications, especially for front loader work and when transporting on roads or in parking lots.

For loader work, producers will get maximum benefit from the system by increasing engine rpm with the hand throttle to at least 50 percent. Once the hand throttle is set, auto throttle will help provide the feeling of a power boost when the producer is filling the bucket with material from a pile. The harder the hydro pedal is pressed, the more engine speed available. In this scenario, as the producer presses the pedal, the engine will operate between 50 percent throttle and 100 percent throttle. It will not go below 50 percent until the hand throttle is lowered back down.

In power take-off (PTO) applications such as mowing or snow blowing, auto throttle is not recommended because PTO implements usually require a constant speed in order to properly function.

The Mauser cab offers protection from the elements and expands the versatility of 2025R Tractors to perform in all climates.
