John Deere 1023E vs. 1025R Comparison

[reillylandis]

The backhoe is actually compatible with the 1023. We just bought one, and got the backhoe attachment with it

I just ordered a brand new John Deere 1025R + a slew of attachments from Wes at the Marion, Wisconsin Riesterer & Schnell. I never knew Wes before I called him. Wes didn’t know me from Adam, yet he treated me well, and answered my questions. We discussed my intended use, and went over my concerns such as ballast weight for safe use. Wes made me feel comfortable and confident. If you are looking for someone to walk you through your use and needs, I recommend Googling the phone number for Riesterer & Schnell Marion Wisconsin then ask for Wes.

I bought the 1025r, had I to do it again I would buy the 1023e and for the price difference I would buy the drive over mower attachment with the 1023e

Carlisle Versa Turf tires are an option on the 1 series too.

Look at the spec sheet before buying. Yanmar makes the engine which is good, but has only 21.5 hp on the 1023e.

personally I don't cruise and comfort packs on my tractor i don't even cut the lawn with it i have a separate Deere for that. i got it to build a shooting range fix my dirt drive and dig up some stones

Not worth the extra money there the same thing other than the cruise control that I would never use.
