JD 1025R is an update coming?

[TheLawnGuy]

Is an update coming to the JD1025R TLB. I ask as I have shopped now 4 subcompact TLB brands and JD has been the cheapest priced thus far and now am waiting on pricing on the JD2025R TLB to come back. My salesman did say he has never sold JD2025R or even had one at his dealer so he knew nothing about them. I will list the brands I have shopped from most expensive to economical but The JD is the winner which seems shocking to me as you always here that the green paint cost more. I also have not even asked for NALP and AQHA discounts yet to see if the price will drop any more.

Kubota bx23s
Massey 1020 TLB
Kioti 2210 TLB (I didn't like this tractor at all)
JD1025R TLB
All priced just as TLB models of coarse the Kubota was the most expensive and you still have to buy the bakhoe bucket and the 3 point arms on top of that. When I started my search I was thinking I would go with the Kubota but they are just to much for me at this point. I did also priced a larger Kioti CK3510se hst with cab and TLB and it was $8700 more than JD 1025R and maybe something to consider.

Kubota bx23s
Massey 1020 TLB --You might want to check the GC1720
Kioti 2210 TLB (I didn't like this tractor at all) --You might want to try the CK2510, almost same size as JD 1025 But plenty more tractor.

What dealer you liked the best?

The 2025R is a very different tractor, I like it but for the same money the Massey 1526 has some advantages, Don't know if you have a Massey dealer around but I would look at one if you can, just a couple of things that stand out, "auto throttle' on the HST pedal, "More PTO HP', "three range transmission" which is very important when we are talking under 25hp and a bigger and heavier tractor.

The H130 FEL on the 2025R is the best FEL that I've had among the 3: 2025R, 1025R and 4010. The 4010 is just a lower hp version of the 2025R: would be a 2019E by today's nomenclature.

The FEL on the 1025R was just plain unpredictable.
