I have been hunting for a tractor for a few months and finally landed on a slightly used John Deer 1025R after watching several YT videos showcasing its versatility. This will be the 3rd machine in the family fleet, alongside a 2007 Gator TS 2x4, and a X354 riding mower.
My mom has her 20 acres in the Texas Hill Country which has rocks, cactus, a very spoiled horse and lots of cedar trees. I needed something small that can go inside trails, but also move, push, pull, dig, and generally reform the land. The property sits on the gentle slope of a mountainside, but when it rains, it creates small rivers everywhere that creates some amount of alarm for the house and various outbuildings. I look forward to diverting the rain with creating a swale network system and perhaps even a small pond. The in law in East Dallas also has a driveway which is in much needed repairs from erosion. It will be a great time inventing things to do in the future.
I should pick it up sometime in the next week or so, very excited. I'll update this thread over time with activities as things go along. I already have Delvac Extreme oil and a MP supertech filter lined up, and an amount of accessories to install once they flow in.
