After taking a close look at the mower in Round 2, we’re now ready to do some actual mowing tests. As with prior rounds, the video episode likely provides better visualization of these tests than the written word. Please check out this episode below Uncut Circle (Turning Radius) The specifications…
Turns out, there is LOTS more discuss about the mid-mount mowers on these machines than we could cover in a single round. So, we’ve split this topic into two segments. First, we’ll cover some measurements, difficulty of installation/removal, and other items related to the mid mount mower. Round #3 will…

The 3-Point hitch system for rear attached implements is both loved and hated. We all love the relative consistency and compatibility between rear attachments and tractors. Essentially every tractor made in the last 30 years has a 3-point hitch. This level of compatibility is extremely valuable, allowing manufacturers to freely…
Christy and I had the opportunity to get a detailed walk around of the new Deere 2025R at its Introduction today at the Farm Progress Show near Decatur IL. If you are impatient, and want a quick summary, I would summarize it like this: “A 1025R with larger tires”. In…
