Hello everyone,
This is my first post, but I am a long time viewer of this forum. Let me say you folks are great. I am going to unload some info here for analysis.
So, I am in the market for a new/used 1023e or 1025r to maintain my rental properties. I am mainly buying the tractor for the FEL and 3 point hitch.
I know the FEL has the same specs and capabilities for both machines. However the rear pto and engine have different specs.
Rear PTO
Tractor Time With Tim (link for this video will be on bottom of post) put out this great video measuring rear PTO Power using a very interesting machine. The accuracy of the machine can be questioned, however the operators say it was within a reasonable tolerance. So, let's assume the measurements are accurate. The test included larger tractors too, but the information we need here is the 1025r findings. The machine calculated that the 1025r was putting out an astonishing 24-25hp out the rear pto.
With that said, has anyone seen a similar or any test done on the 1023e rear pto? I would be very interested in seeing the comparison.
The duties required for maintaining my property with the rear pto will be stump grinder, brush hogging, post hole digger, and a tiller.
I am also aware that the 1025r has a 3point height adjustment mechanism, is there an option or homemade option to replicate this on the 1023e?
Will a 1023e be sufficient for these attachments?
Engine Power
The 1023e has slightly smaller displacement in engines. I want to pull a landplane/rear blade along with pushing some snow.
Is the power difference noticable in these circumstances?
Thank you all for the information, I look forward to seeing what people say.
