Yes. CAT1 is CAT1. Deere calls it limited because of the height restriction. Maybe Massey is technically limited on height as well but they just specify CAT1 in their literature.

This has been one of my issues with JD all along and the main reason I didn't want to go with them. Too many of their parts are JD specific and not fully interchangeable with the rest of the world. They do it intentionally to limit where people can buy parts. And even the parts that may be interchangeable are not called out that way. They use their own terminology to cloud some issues.

My LS dealer said they would add their 4' tiller (962 -GDT- 48) into the main deal for $1500 which means it would be part of the monthly payments.

I see, I had a Deere 2305 SCUT a few years back and bought CAT 1 3pt implements for it and use the same ones I bought on my Massey without any issues.. I do remember buying and older bush hog that it wouldn't lift high enough to my liking, there was plenty of stock in the pin area so I drilled some new holes lower so that it lifted it higher for transport..
Well, it's official -- I'm getting a 1025R.
Went back to the Kubota dealer to see if they could match the same price with the SSQA adapter. Still ended up coming up roughly $500 higher than the 1025R. Price difference got worse once I added in the tiller and a grapple.
So the final configuration I ended up with is as follows:
- 1025R TLB
- 54D auto connect deck
- 54" quick attach blade w/ hydraulic lift, hydraulic angling and extensions
- Frontier RT1149 Tiller
- Frontier AV20F Root Grapple
- John Deere 3rd function hydraulics
I won't have the third function kit for a couple months, but at least it's all rolled into the same financing.

Sounds like a heck of a setup, good luck with it..
Congrats. I'm envisioning a new YouTube channel "Tractor Time with Kelch". Give Tim a run for his money lol. :thumbsup:
1025R arrived on Saturday sans tiller, grapple and third function hydraulics. Almost immediately set to work on removing a large stump in front of the house.
Also got the lawn mowed and did some unplanned trail blazing after getting stuck in the mud between my sand mound and the woods. We had nothing but rain for about a week straight here in Central Pennsylvania so low lying parts of my yard are still a mucky mess.
Having fun so far but really looking forward to getting the grapple. I think it will make quick work of the brush around my property. My end goal is to clear the bulk of the brush and scraggly trees, leaving only the large healthy trees. I'll also end up moving and replanting some saplings around the property.
Planning to spend some more time tomorrow on the stump.
