    How many of these are out in the wild and some general questions.

    Contact Summit Tractors about the cabbed TX25 and the forthcoming ~35HP model. And your electrical issue. They’re great to work with.

    40 hour review—long read

    Well written, very thorough early review, Andrew. Your experience with the tractor is similar to mine; true value and performance that has met or exceeded all of my expectations. Your customer service experience is also perfectly consistent with mine. Summit Tractors is a group of people who...

    Engine oil filter removal - Summit TX25, Solis H24, Solis H24+

    “ Spurtar 2 3/8" to 3 1/8" (60mm to 80mm)” Thanks for that tool reference. I’ll grab one. I think I’ve posted about this before, but I suggest using a (utility) blade of some sort to cut as much of the paint seal as possible. It makes all the difference when turning the filters for the first time.

    What tire pressure are you running on your TX25

    The Summit manual recommends the following tire pressure settings: FRONT 20-22psi REAR 14-16psi My TX25 arrived with ~30psi in the rear. I’ve been running ~25. What tire pressure are you maintaining?

    It’s great that your JD has been dead nuts reliable, but the issues I’ve experienced are trivial in relative terms. The point is, Summit’s backed up their product 100pc with no pushback, no arguments. Just excellent customer service.

    How many of these are out in the wild and some general questions.

    See my previous posts. I’ve shared some details on most if not all of the issues in periodic updates. Nothing serious and Summit addressed all of my inquiries promptly. Importantly, I don’t have to push Summit in any way. I relay the issue, they might ask for a photo or more info, they get me...

    How many of these are out in the wild and some general questions.

    Respectfully, I dislike posts like this. Summit chose a great platform to build its brand on and the company cares about their product and its customers. I know this because I own a TX25. If you dig into the TX25, you’ll see it’s a rebranded tractor made by one of the largest tractor...

    Just took delivery of my TX25. I am also a Kubota BX80 owner so I will be comparing these.

    My TX25 has >260 hours (purchased 9/2023) and thought I’d chime in. There were a few minor issues with the tractor on delivery and a few since that time. Importantly, I’ve always found Summit very easy to work with and the company is eager to resolve all issues with the appropriate sense of...

    Reccomended Hydraulic Fluid

    I don’t recall if I found an answer to this question when my TX25 was ready for its first service, but I went with Mobil Delvac Tractor Hydraulic Fluid.

    Welcome to the TX25 family! My TX25 is one state over. Summit’s paint code is 403218 and it’s called Lotus Green. I got that info from Summit directly. I assume you’re considering Summit’s grapple. If so, you’re going to love it. I’ve mentioned elsewhere that, in combination with the weight of...

    Uneven loader arms

    I’m not sure if this is a fix related to your situation, but when my Summit’s loader arms appear misaligned I raise the loader all the way up to its maximum position. When I lower it to the ground the arms, and whatever I have attached, return to a more aligned position.

    Strange noise

    Call Summit. It’s a known issue if I’m reading your post correctly. There’s a metal guard or shield over the u-joint that spins directly below your feet underneath the footwell. Under certain circumstances the shield can come in contact with the u-joint and it makes an awful racket. Like...
