New tractor.

[CatamountRob]

After using my father’s JD 650 for the past 35ish years to do stuff around his place and mine, I finally bit the bullet and bought one of my own. Hopefully it holds up half as well as his 650 has.
I bought a 1025R with a loader, front snowblower, brush hog, mid mount mower and rototiller. Supposed to be delivered late next week after they get everything set up on it. I also ordered a quick hitch and ballast box from Titan Attachments.
This isn’t actually my tractor, but it’s the showroom one.

I have an older version of this tractor, model 2210 with a loader and back hoe. It's a 2004 and i bought it in 2007 with 57 hrs on it. The initial plan was to do the land scaping around our new house, plant some trees and then sell it. Well, 17 years later, I don't know what I would do without it. They're tough little units. Outside of routine maintenance, ZERO issues at 356 hrs.

Nice new toy. Can't beat a tractor for work

If I bought a JD my wife would divorce me, after she shot, hanged, keel-hauled and clubbed me lol

Ours held up for 20 years. We never found an implement it could not pull. But it drinks fuel at an alarming rate.

I asked my wife if she wanted to go with me and she said no. She should have known better than to let me go in alone!

The master of turning it into her fault. Well done

I’m pretty sure it can’t handle a mid mount mower.

If I had a use case for a tractor I dont think I would get a JD - too much BS with proprietary software, hardware pairing etc

Congrats on your purchase!
A friend just bought the Kubota equivalent to the OP’s tractor, and those little tractors are pretty cool. I’ve made a living off my tractors for 25 years and have owned 3 JD tractors, 5 Kubotas tractors, and a Kubota skid steer.

Very nice tractor but looking at the pic I doubt if you'll be able to use it. Good grief you can't even reach the steering wheel let alone the pedals and controls!
