Features

Spend more time working and less time switching equipment with easy implement swaps
Drive-over deck makes connection simple 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.

Quickly and easily change speed and directions with Twin Touch foot controls and Hydrostatic transmission (HST)
Twin Touch™ pedals 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
Excellent maneuverability and easy operation with standard four-wheel drive (4WD) and power steering
Standard 4WD and power steering make 1 Family Tractors excellent for mowing Standard 4WD and power steering make 1 Family Tractors excellent for mowing

Both 4WD and power steering are standard equipment on the 1 Family Tractors. This combination allows for excellent maneuverability and ease of operation.

  • Narrow overall width allows you to work in tight areas where most compact tractors just cannot fit. The 144.8-cm (57-in.) wheel base and 119.4 cm (47 in.) overall width gives great stability for all types of terrain.
  • Power steering means fewer turns of the steering wheel than manual steering, which is especially valuable when mowing around obstacles or during front loader work.
  • High horsepower-to-weight ratio makes the 1 Family Tractors a good choice for a variety of tasks. The overall tractor weight reduces ground compaction and makes them excellent for mowing.
  • The fully-independent power take-off (PTO) allows engaging and disengaging of the PTO without stopping tractor movement. This is important when driving across obstacles such as driveways while mowing.

  • High seat back and armrests are in base equipment and allow for a more comfortable operation
  • Retractable seat belt feature prevents the seat belt from becoming tangled in the seat suspension and controls

  • A spring-loaded detent ensures the height position is locked into place.
  • The transport lock position holds the deck 10.2-cm (4-in.) from the ground, so that rear implements can be used separately while the mower is installed.

Versatile & Dependable

After several years of ownership, and 900 hours of usage, I still give the 1025R a 5 star rating. Attachability, turning radius, power and dependability of a Yanmar diesel, make this subcompact a real workhorse. In addition, the wide footprint offers stability not found on the competition. If you are evaluating tractors give the Deere a try - especially in tight quarters and applications where a tight turning radius is required. You will love the visibility from the operators seat and the fuel economy of this tractor.

It does have great features.

I changed dealers and wish I hadn't. I had two tractors , an X738 and a 1025r. I liked both tractors. I let the salesman convince that I should make one payment. I thought maybe a 2025r instead. It was too clumsy for my two lots. So I traded it back to a 1025r. It isn't the ractor. It's the dealership I purchased it from in Cameron Wisconsin. I didn't even get a 2nd key with it and the plastic was still on the machine when they delivered it. That's why I gave a 1 star. Tim

Lynch pin disappeared along with a link

5 hours and less than three weeks of ownership, a Lynch pin came undone and then the link disappeared. The dealership charged us for these parts! I don't think that's fair or right. In talking to other owners, same situation happened to them. Fix the Lynch pin issue please

Versatile and Easy to Learn

First tractor and I really enjoy using it. Looking around the property, I decided to take the plunge and do the needed work myself. Between online videos, a little construction experience and the right tools, the 1025R TLB makes it all possible. Removed a failed retaining wall and replaced it. Next will be a shed foundation, a fence and then...

web site sucks

Model # on the belly mower attachment don't work Serial # on the mower don't work. You can't get a web part online. To have service in will cost you labor charges from the time they leave the shop until their return. Very expensive when the nearest service center is 1 hour away. Three years and have had to buy many parts and parts are expensive.

First Sub Compact

Purchased a 1025r at a local dealership at the end of spring last year, 2022. My garden tractor expired and was left with making the decision to upgrade to maintain 1.5 acres of cleared property. I wanted the flexibility to leverage 3 point rental tools for gardening and snow removal during the winter. I am please so far with the capability of the 1025r this far given that is machine is likely more than I need. Definitely will grow with us as we are looking for more property.

Completely reliable,,, Great little tractor

Bought this 1025R three years ago, we sold 15 acres and downsized to 2.5 acres. I had a GT275 48 inch cut and a bush hog with tractor at the old place so traded for this one. The loader and mower are both really easy to use, tractor is straight forward, comfortable and hafta say,, thrifty of fuel.. Well worth the money, The only draw back is if you have irregularities (rises or small hills) it will scalp in a heart beat. Over time, I've learned where, but I do wish there were rollers in the center front of the deck instead of a skid plate. But all in all, that is a small worry, we use it all the time and would highly recommend this to anyone with a lot of grass to cut,, Oh, one more thing, I added the mulching kit to it and the pine cones just disappear,, Maintenance is really easy as well. Having started with a John Deere 110 and on through the years, I do have a little experience with them,,
