Brought my John Deere 1025R home

:thumbsup: I brought my JD 1025R with Backhoe, Loader, and MMM home. I have played with it for a few hours, but it started raining a few hours after I got home. It has been raining for 2 days now:muttering:. Here are a few pictures and a video my wife took without me knowing. I am starting to get the hang of the backhoe.

I was digging a big Hickory stump up and had to dig some big rocks up along the way. Never finished because of the rain. Still raining as of this morning.

Congradulations

Good choice Rider. I bright one home last month, but without the BH. The floating 60" auto connect deck doesn't mow quite as good as a 54". A deck gauge leveling per the book helped a lot. I have a lot of slopes with different angles though. I think you'll love the new "lawnmower" as my wife calls it. Ha ha.
One word of caution, I had my park brake release by itself once? May not of had it set good?? Enjoy the new versatile multi purpose machine. Only thing I'm adding to mine is a aux rear work light and a steering wheel spinner. I did also get a set of chains for winter. ENJOY!

I have enjoyed the tractor so far. The backhoe is a digger. I think it is going to be a great machine.
