Yanmar TNV Series engine offers these features:
- Economical for good cooling and long life
- Isolated engine provides reduced vibration and noise for the operator; indirect fuel injection uses a precombustion chamber to give the engine a smooth and quiet operation; aluminum-alloy piston with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connection rod bearing loads and provide good heat transfer characteristics
- Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, thereby reducing blow-by gas and less noise from the piston slap
- Higher top rings on the piston and a thinner head gasket greatly reduces the volume of unburned waste gases and increases combustion efficiency
- Timing-gear teeth have a designed roll-off profile giving almost no clash, no noise, and no backlash
- High-torque reserve provides plenty of power under heavy load, yet retains excellent fuel economy
- Easy access to engine check and fill points on the right-hand side of the tractor by removing the side panels
- Fuel filter with replaceable element
- Full-pressure lubrication system provides filtered oil under pressure to all vital engine parts
- Glow plugs provide quick starts in temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) (Optional engine coolant heater attachment will assist starting under more extreme conditions.)
- Auto-bleed fuel system means there is no special bleeding required if the tractor runs out of fuel; this system will self-prime the injection pump, lines, and injectors, providing fast fuel recovery
- Key start and shut off eliminates fuel shut-off knob
- Electric solenoid shuts fuel supply off immediately when key is turned off
- See-through coolant recovery tank permits operator to check coolant level without removing radiator cap
- Dry-type air cleaner with safety element keeps dirt and other contaminants out of the engine
- Safety element (second filter) will protect engine if primary filter would develop a leak
- Protects engine when servicing primary filter
- Air filter restriction indicator is standard equipment on the 2025R Tractor
- Sealed-radiator compartment keeps trash and debris on outside of hood
- Horizontal exhaust discharges fumes away from the operator station, reducing noise and improving operator visibility and comfort

The 2R Series are equipped with a two-range hydrostatic transmission (HST) incorporated in a die-cast aluminum transmission case. Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels via a closed-loop pump and motor arrangement. Infinite ground speeds allow the operator to match the speed of the tractor to the job.
- No clutching for fast and easy direction changes
- Twin Touch™ foot pedals for quick and easy forward/reverse operation
- Transmission oil cooler cools transmission oil for longer transmission life
Safety features of the HST include:
- The tractor will only start with the range lever in neutral
- If the range lever is in gear when the key is turned to the start position, the instrument panel instructs the operator to shift to neutral
- The engine will shut off if the operator leaves the seat and the forward/reverse pedals are depressed
Two-range transmission
Transmission has two speeds - hi and lo range.
- The range lever is located next to the seat, conveniently within reach of the operator
- All tasks can be performed using two ranges on the 2025R which means less shifting throughout the day
Durability features include:
- Large forged one-piece trunnion shaft with larger support bearings that reduce vibration and noise
- Innovative transaxle combines an HST, gear reduction axle, and clutch
- Pressure side filtration allows the use of a fine-mesh filter
- One pump to supply charge pressure and implement A flow divider splits the flow to various circuits throughout the tractor.
- The transaxle has an oil cooler which provides improved hydraulic cooling performance
- Front Quik-Tatch™ hitch makes changing front implements quick and easy
- All front implements (blades, brooms, and snow blowers) use a common hitch
- AutoConnect™ Mid-Mount Mower Deck, 120R Loader, and 260B Backhoe can be taken on or off within 5 minutes, and no tools are required
- Changing rear implements is a snap with the iMatch™ Quick-Hitch, which has three fixed points to back in and pick up a rear implement that is iMatch compatible
- Loader, mid-mower, and a variety of rear hitch implements can be attached to the tractor at the same time
Optional premium independent mid lift system operates independent of the rear 3-point hitch. This gives the operator the flexibility to leave the mid mower attached when completing other tasks.
Regular service and maintenance are essential to the performance, productivity, and longevity of the tractor.
- Two quarter-turn fasteners allow operators to easily remove the engine side panels without tools to access to the engine compartment.
- The under-hood gas-lift support provides easy access to the engine compartment and eliminates the need for a mechanical prop rod.
External hood latch requires no tools and can release using the tractor key.
Easy access to regular service points minimizes service time.
Daily service checks, such as checking the engine oil or water separator, can be done without opening the hood or removing the tractor side panels.
Tractors are equipped with a mechanical air filter restriction indicator that alerts the operator when the air filter needs to be cleaned or changed.
- All external engine, fuel, and transmission filters are easily accessible.
- Fuel tank is located on the rear of the tractor to allow for easy access when fueling.
NOTE: Always refer to the operator’s manual for complete maintenance and service recommendations.
The Mauser cab offers protection from the elements and expands the versatility of 2025R Tractors to perform in all climates.

I purchased my 2025r in Beaumont Texas and is cheaply built
Location: Indiana
Length of Ownership: 1month
Usage: Daily
I recently traded my 2010 JD 2320 with a 62" drive over mower deck for a 2021 JD 2025R with a 60" auto-connect mower deck. I ordered this tractor and when it arrived this was sure a disappointment. The 2025R just seems cheap!! For example the individual brakes have been reduced to a single brake pedal, the drawbar has been replaced by a plate with a hole in it, the light that indicates that the 4WD is engaged no longer exists, the levers to shift the pto and hi and lo for the transmission seem very flimsy compared to the old solid levers, the rollbar no longer folds down out of the way, instead it folds down just enough to walk right in to it with your forehead when you try to walk behind the tractor and finally the pedal to lock the differential is just a rod that only sticks out about an inch. I was told by my salesman that there is an aftermarket pedal you can get for the diff lock. When I ordered this tractor I did not see the new models, but I went with 2025r Instead a 1025r because I didn't want to go backwards, but compared to my 2320 it doesn't seem to live up to the standards. I was told that the 2320 was made by Yanmar for John Deere and that the 2025R is made directly by John Deere this is probably the most disappointing part!!

Very powerful little machine, it's great for getting into small places but is happy in wide open spaces as well.

I bought the 2025R a few months back to help with my bad back. It's exceeded my expectations. We added forks, a rototiller, and post hole digger and now can do nearly anything we want. We've also used the tractor to do things that we never even thought about. While I wouldn't hesitate to buy again, I'd probably go with the smaller 1025R. While the 2025R is more stabile and comfortable for me, the 1025R would fit into smaller spaces.

I’ve had the 2025 Tractor for about 5 months and I love it, has plenty of power and works hard, but has couple of things that can be improved: Seat Suspension needed for harsh ride, and needs a guide on the mower deck front attachment for when removing and installing deck with loader on tractor.

I have owned the tractor for a few months. Already cleared a fence line, dug a drainage ditch, and mowed my creek property. Work perfectly.

i have a 2019 2025R with loader, backhoe, 54D mower, rear Frontier blower and other non-Deere implements. It is used on our large forested property for all types of regular (mowing, snow) and periodic (box blading, digging, etc.) tasks. Perfect machine for our size property and usage pattern. While the 1025R is similar and very capable, the tire size, height, clearance, weight, ground speed, and stability differences more than justify this machine in my opinion. With tractors, more power and size is almost always better but I have found you need to buy for your expected usage and realistic "peak" uses to avoid buyers remorse. I have read about many upgrades created by just slightly underbuying. This particular tractor feels like and for me is one that allowed me to feel very satisfied without looking up at the larger frame 2-series or entry 3-series with tractor envy. This is a very capable and relatively affordable machine.

This compact tractor and backhoe is the perfect size for my wife and I to operate and maneuver around our little place. The manual thumb of the backhoe is a MUST HAVE!!!

We live on 35 acres with 30 of it rented to a local farmer. Originally purchased a 1025R, but it was just a little to small for what I was doing. The 2025 fits the bill perfectly.
