Thanks for the pics, Chevy. I'm also trying to decide between the 1 series and the new 2 series. Seems like there isn't really much difference between the 1025R and the 2025R, just loader capacity, and slightly larger frame. They have the same 3TNV76 Yanmar engine also. Seems pretty weird that the 1025R has a total hydraulic flow of 6.3 gals, and the 2025R has a 5.6 gals total flow. Weird, when the 2025R has a greater loader capacity.
It now seems that there is no midpoint in the 2 series. Previously, there was the 2520, which was slotted between the 2320 and the 2720, with an 80 cu. in engine. There is nothing inbetween the 2025R and the 2032R now, both in terms of price point and performance.
Kinda weird.
You are welcome.
Having owned & used all of the predecessor models. 1026R, 2320 & 2720. My 1026R does not have a loader. I really like the 1026R for mowing, because of the drive over & auto connect deck, & other small tractor tasks.
In my opinion there is not enough of an upgrade between the 2025R & 2032R to justify the cost difference. I have owned several compact tractors over the years, the worst trade I ever made was trading the 2320 for a 2720.
If you need a small tractor with lots of power, the 2032R is the way to go. If you need a small tractor to mow & do loader work, then the 1025R or 2025R will work fine. If you will need to remove the mower deck often to do other work, the 1025R is the way to go. If you do not remove the deck often, the 2025R is it.
