Overview
Get year-round performance with the optional cab

Heated cab is ideal for cold weather chores
The John Deere 1R cab is about comfort, security, and helping you get year-round performance. The cab offers protection from the elements to expand the versatility of 1025R Tractors to perform in all climates.
- Sound damping system for quiet, peace-of-mind operation
- Heated cab keeps you warm in colder months
- Removable doors and front and rear windows that open nearly 90 degrees provide a cooler work environment in warmer months.
- Excellent visibility to your surroundings with the full glass doors
- Compatible with all tractor implements except the 260B Backhoe
Optional iMatch™ Quick-Hitch feature allows for easy implement hookup

iMatch Quick-Hitch (LVB25976)
One of the greatest operator concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.
The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.
- All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.
NOTE: The bushing set can be seen in the picture above. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).
- Upper bushing
- Inside diameter: 1.93-1.95 cm (0.76-0.77 in.)
- Outside diameter: 3.15-3.18 cm (1.24-1.25 in.)
- Lower bushings
- Inside diameter: 2.24-2.26 cm (0.88 to 0.89 in.)
- Outside diameter: 3.63-3.66 cm (1.43 to 1.44 in.)
Easy-open, gas-lift hood

Gas-lift spring
- The under-hood gas-lift support provides easy one-finger access to the engine compartment and eliminates the need for a mechanical prop rod.
- This design of the support structure provides excellent rigidity for the hood.
Hydrostatic transmission (HST) with Twin Touch™ foot controls
The 1 Family Tractors feature an HST.
- Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels through a hydraulic pump and motor
- The hydrostatic-drive unit functions both as a clutch and transmission

Twin Touch foot controls
Twin Touch foot controls allow selecting both speed and direction of travel with a touch of the toe. Ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.
- Infinite ground speeds, even at full throttle, to match the job
- No clutching for fast direction changes
- Faster, easier, and more precise to operate than competitive tractors with treadle pedal design (toe-heel)
- Provides high torque for start up
- Reduces power train shock loads
- Large foot pedals were designed for your comfort and allow for convenient operation of the tractor

Two-speed transmission
Transmission has two speeds – Hi and Lo range.
- The range lever is located next to the seat, conveniently within your reach.
- Lo range allows performing tougher tasks at higher speeds than competitive tractors equipped with a three-range transmission (that is, lo range on three-speed transaxle is slower than lo range on a two-speed transaxle)
Durability features include:
- Large forged one-piece trunnion shaft with larger support bearings that reduce vibration and noise.
- Innovative transaxle combines an HST, gear reduction axle, and clutch.
- Pressure side filtration allows using a finer-mesh filter (10 micron) than suction filtration systems use on many competitive tractors.
- One pump to supply charge pressure and implement flow. A flow divider splits the flow to various circuits throughout the tractor.
- The transaxle has an oil cooler which provides improved hydraulic cooling performance.

Comfortable and convenient open operator’s station

1025R open operator station
The 1025R open operator station is designed for greater comfort and increased visibility.
Comfortable operation
- Thick, textured rubber floor mat reduces vibrations and absorbs shock and noise
- Step-through flat platform and fender-mounted handrails make it easy to get on and off the tractor from either side
- Controls are conveniently located next to the fenders and are color-coded for quick identification
- Tilt steering lets you keep your arms in a natural position to reduce fatigue
- Deluxe suspension seat has moveable armrests and provides great back support
- Easy access toolbox puts common tools within quick reach
- Standard 12-V outlet for convenient charging of electronics
- Easy-lift hood with dual gas-charged lift struts as standard equipment. A simple flip of the latch lets you open the rugged composite hood, providing wide open access to the engine compartment.
- Foldable rollover protective structure (ROPS) keeps you protected during operation and improve the ability to store tractor in a garage

Foldable Roll-Gard ROPS
Foldable Roll-Gard™ ROPS is standard equipment on 1025R
Increased visibility
- Sloping hood design provides improved visibility especially during front loader work
- Standard lighting equipment allows you to work from early in the morning to late at night:
- Two front-mounted light-emitting diode (LED) headlights
- Two amber-flashing warning/hazard lights mounted on the side of the ROPS with reflectors
- Two LED fender work lights
- Additional front- and rear-light kits are available
Instrumentation

Instrumentation

- Tach/hour meter
- Oil-pressure indicator light
- Alternator-indicator light
- Flashing-warning lights
- Coolant-temperature light
Premium seat

Premium seat
The thick, soft padding on this seat provides a smooth and comfortable ride. A high, scalloped back makes it easier for the operator to turn to view rear implements. The embroidered logo and premium vinyl not only provide an easy-to-clean surface but also a well-polished design.
- Seat adjusts fore/aft for operator convenience
- Seat flips forward for protection from the elements
- High seat back and armrests are in base equipment and allow for a more comfortable operation
- Retractable seat belt feature prevents the seat belt from becoming tangled in the seat suspension and controls
Mower deck height-adjustment knob

Mower deck height-adjustment knob
- The mower deck height-adjustment knob allows the mower height to be adjusted from 2.5 cm to 10.2 cm (1 in. to 4 in.).
- A spring-loaded detent ensures the height position is locked into place.
- The transport lock position holds the deck 10.2-cm (4-in.) from the ground, so that rear implements can be used separately while the mower is installed.
