3. John Deere 2025R
The John Deere 2025R might sound like a solid choice at first — with 25 horsepower, it seems like it’s got enough power for mowing, light digging, and other basic tasks. But here’s where it falls short: stability. The tractor has a higher center of gravity, which can make it feel a bit wobbly, especially on hills or uneven ground. Add some attachments, and it can get even more tricky to handle.
The loader on the 2025R is essentially the same as the smaller 1025R, which means while you’re getting a bigger frame, the lift capacity isn’t much better. If you’re looking for a tractor with solid stability and the ability to handle heavy front-end loads without tipping, the 2025R might leave you frustrated.
