John Deere 2520 vs 2025r: What's The Difference?

The John Deere 2520 and John Deere 2025r tractors are quite similar in many ways. You'll see a comparison of the tractors themselves, front end loaders including models 200cx, H130, and 220r, and the 62" drive over mower decks. Operator stations remain quite similar as well. A couple of the key differences can be found under the hood and with the rear tire sizes. Watch the video and find out more!

Great video of the differences and the similarities as well. Thanks so much Courtney.

Have the 2520 for several years. Biggest and only complaint I have is lack of suspension seat. Even my previous 855 had some suspension on the seat.

the loader frame mounts are the same on 2012 jd 2520 for the 200cx and 220r loaders

I'd like to find out what ball joint John dear uses on 2520 steering cylinder instead of buying the whole cylinder.

Good Works Tractors, is the lifting power the same on both tractors? I own the 2520 and im having trouble finding the spec on what the hydraulic pressure is suppose to be ? if its on the low end of spec i wanna turn it up. wondering if i find spec on 2025 if it the same?

On the specs it looks like the 2520 has a LOT more hydrolic flow then the older 2025r's. Almost double. Any chance you notice that difference when using them?

Does 2520 have the DEF or was before DEF

Hi, I'm looking at buying a 2520 without the loader. By looking at your video it seems like I could buy an H130 loader for the 2520 rather than the 200cx. Is it worth the hassle of buying one of these tractors without the loader?

[lifeintnchevalier]

Good discrimination. I have the 2520 and a friend just bought a 2025

Looks like, if I trade my JD 2520 for a 2520R, I'd take a step down???? Smaller rear wheel diameter, less HP, and no deck rubber mat. As far as deck height the 2520 has the lift arm which works great, So, do I you gain anything besides new emissions improvement???
As much as I care deeply about our environment, I have only put 300 hours on my 2520 over the last decade. I suspect what slightly higher emissions from my unit are negligible.
