I'm always getting into something outdoors and would love to have you follow along.
Join me as I get outdoors with the #JohnDeere1025R and #JohnDeere4052R to do #habitatmanagement and plant #foodplots for #whitetaildeer and #wildturkeys. I have a newer #polebarn that has lots of projects going on inside of it and when I get to relax I will #hike, #hunt, #fish and do all kinds of other things.

I've always been taught to go by the 5 hp per foot rule. 20-25 hp = 48 inch. 25-30 hp = 60 inch. Ect, ect.

I have the same Frontier as you on a 2025R. Trying to maintain RPM in 4 wheel dive going up real steep hills requires going 1/4 speed as going down hill. Tractor HP at 25 HP engine is just barely enough. Great video and well thought out,

I have an earlier model (2017 1025R). I highly recommend the Power Beyond add-on with the Summit Hydraulics hydraulic top link add on. Especially for the rotary tiller, the hydraulic toplink makes tweaking the setup (angle, lift, etc.) a matter of a couple of button pushes rather. The rear wheel should not be in the air which you seem to be saying you do (sorry if I misunderstood). If you look there is an amount of travel in the 'slider' just behind/below where the top link hooks in. The purpose of this is to absorb terrain irregulates and maintain the shredder in a 'level' posture so that neither digs in nor skips in the air.

My dealer actually told me that i could handle a 6 footer on my 3039R. He may be right when it comes to pto hp. But i have always preferred bush hogging with the loader off. I purchased the JD MX-5 cutter, and its a heavy cutter. Mowing without the loader creates a issue with a heavier cutter. So i use 8-70lb suitcase wieghts on front to help counter wieght. But i know it would never handle a MX6 (over 1000lbs).
