Buying Advice JD 1025R or MF 1725M

Nice points and never thought about that. Is the $22,725 for the JD a good price. It was close to $4000 off msrp.

I would say that getting over 15% off list is a very good deal on a John Deere.

instead of adding weight box, I would think about filling the tires, granted tires are all small on that tractor might not get the desired effect,. But if you can add the same amount to the tires as the weight box would be that that eliminate you having to take the box on and off.

Loaded tires are NOT a substitute for rear ballast, you need to have weight behind the rear axle.

Both JD dealer and MF dealer did not recommend loading tires. They both agree weight box would be more useful.

Loading tires help with traction, rear ballast helps with using a front end loader. Even if you can lift the load fine and tractor is stable, the front end will thank you for using rear ballast. :2cents:
