1025 to 2025
I’m about a year into a 1025.
it definitely does my main jobs, which include mowing and snow removal.
While more horsepower is always something most of us want, I generally don’t need that for my tractor chores.
What I DO find myself wanting is more clearance for implements on the 3pt hitch (ballast, rear blade...)
In my head, I have started wondering if I should start looking at a trade to a 2025.
I could keep my loader, but I’d have to trade back the tractor and mower deck.
My suspicion is I’d take a bath financially on this. I took 60mo no interest on the 1025 at purchase and put down about 20-25% at purchase.
Talk me off the ledge...?

It is a good thing to do. I did it to my 2025r and added a shorter top link from TSC and it works great for when I need extra lift height like when loading it on a trailer or backing it back off. I can shorten the top link pretty quickly and easily before loading it on the trailer and then lengthen it after it's unloaded.
I'm finding the same thing, I'm wondering if a 3025e wouldn't be the fix for me now that I have a dedicated mower. The 2025r is a great little tractor though, just wish it was a full cat 1.
