We're hoping to have a video up next week showing the installation of the turbo kit - feel free to drop any questions to our attention and we'll try to answer them in the upcoming video! Thanks Tim & everyone involved and everyone for watching!

I really enjoyed being a part of this project! Thanks for choosing us at Area Diesel to help make this happen. It was great meeting you when you came to pick it up. I hope you all had a blessed Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year.

Wow, considering a stock 1025r makes 18 to 20 pto hp(roughly 20% loss through powertrain) 32 pto hp would net about 40hp at the crank. This is truly impressive on only 5lbs of boost! Can't wait to see you test it on real world applications Tim.

💥 I love the reasoning, “because we can” 😂👍 Johnny X is definitely going to get some attention. *Keep on tractoring!*

Looks like you found the right people for this project! Love everyone's approach to run it and test it before trying to market anything. I'm looking forward to how it works out. Thanks for putting together everything and using your equipment as the guinea pig.

Awesome results guys! Area diesel is actually the town south of me, and I’m glad to see a good local business being promoted. When I get around to restoring our Oliver 1850, they will be the folks that will rebuild the injection system on it. Thanks for supporting a local business Tim! I’ll be looking forward to seeing the results of what this machine can do. Maybe I’ll even mention this to my neighbor, who has a 1025R.

Area Diesel has done some magic in some KZfaq channels. TTFT sharing all of this project is great! Thanks Tim!

Loving the 1032T so far Tim! Looking forward to follow up real world tests.

Love it Tim! Sounds great! That guy has the right idea about giving the kit a real long term real world test before mass production.

This is why Tim is many notches above the majority of content providers on here. What a concept. I can’t wait for the final in a few months. Thanks Tim!! P.s. call Terry at Heavy Hitch and tell him to start making the landscape rake in a 60” width please. Thanks again!

This is GREAT! Looking forward to seeing it work, especially with hay equipment! Looking forward to seeing the kit, as well!

Thanks for the video. It was very immense in detail and I enjoyed seeing how the pros get it done!

I am really enjoying the custom turbo Johnny X project. I know it's fun for you, it has also been a lot of fun to watch for the viewers like myself that are into this sort of stuff as well. Great Job to everyone involved !!!!!

Great team of capable experts. Risk is reduced but not eliminated. Keep us posted.

Great job guys, I can’t wait for the kit to become available

This has been a fun project to watch. Looking forward to seeing it tested in the field.

Oh wow. This is great. You sure don't hear me asking "why would you do this". I understand. Will be waiting to see how it performs in real world work. Thanks so much for being one of the first 1025R turbos and sharing it with your viewers.

Great project. Love to see it on a rear snow blower in deep snow. This is where I am always looking for a “boost” in power on my 1025r. 👍

That's a great increase in pto output. I was guessing mid 20's but getting above 30 pto hp, that gives you a huge advantage in equipment selection, wood chippers etc. Thanks for sharing and being willing to take a chance on such an innovative project

Thank you for trying things like this so we the viewers and fellow tractor operators/owners can actually get the information and not just dream about what it might be like to do the things you do in the videos

This is great. I love you guys’s attitude. Thanks for sharing in the fun.

AWESOME TIM! I can’t wait to see some testing!!!! I bet when you’re mowing thick grass or using the tiller the turbo will really shine!!!!

Von helped me many years ago when I built a twin turbocharged Ford for my 2 wheel drive pulling truck. Area Diesel supplied the turbos, and Von spent time with me on the phone with advice and ideas. He helped a couple of my pulling buddies that had turbos on Chevrolet engines. Top shelf folks at Area Diesel!

Interesting project. I know I mentioned it previously that M&W Gear used my boat and engine to develope a turbo kit for a marine engine in the late 70's. Chevy marine engine was rated at 255 HP. After the very simple 3psi twin turbo kit was added it produced 310HP. Kit had to be Coast Guard approved. To prevent over revving I had to have my propellers repitched. Performance change was impressive.

Now that it works we'll just have to wait and see how does it handle those tough jobs combining pto+hidrostatic power (tilling and brush hogging mainly) Keep on with the great videos

So very cool Tim! I’m looking forward to see her work and putting her to the test.

What has impressed me the most so far is how well it has all been put together. In theory anyone could cobble together and Frankenstein a Turbo on an engine. But few could put it together so professionally and seemingly so far without compromise. My only suggestion is to run an accurate temp gauge, EGTs can be fine but the overall extra power can tax the cooling system under the right conditions both operational and ambient temperatures. Absolutely cannot wait for the testing to begin!

Thanks Tim. I especially appreciated your reflection back to the Advent. God bless you at this time of year. Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Thank you Tim. Whenever i watch your videos i smile. Thank you and god bless. I own a 2025 bought it because i watched you and your 1025 i needed more clearance as i live in the upper peninsula of Mich offgridd. God bless you and your family.

I love seeing this finally happening! I am just curious how the internals will hold up. Phenomenal project! I can’t wait for a kit

Wow, Tim, this is really awesome. I'd bet Deere is paying attention to this series to see how they did it and to learn how it performs.

Most powerful 1025R ever ! I do have a couple of concerns, summer heat under heavy use could that maybe increase those temperatures of the turbo exhaust and is the factory amount of engine oil and even coolant going to be enough for this power upgrade under heavy load. Nice install by the shop, looks like it came with it ! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !

I'm looking forward to seeing the results great job and video Tim.

Love it. Was wondering how it was coming along. Looking forward to further videos with it in use.

Very cool project, excited to see real world work done with it. Impressive gains see how it holds up

Fantastic results, that would be great improvement for the snowblower in heavy or deep snow. That could really speed up the operation. Thanks!

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing it worked! 😀

This will make a huge working difference. Anyone who does loader or plow work knows this is a huge benefit.

Good morning Tim the 1.2 liter engine is detuned by JD.The same motor from Yanmar Marine is rated at 29.5 hp. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this series.

What a great job by the Area Diesel team. That is an incredible increase in HP. I remember you had the 1025 on the dyno a while back but couldn’t remember the HP from that episode. Surely must be around a 40-50% increase. I know you’ll put it thru the paces. I’m looking forward to the ride. Blessings.

Great video series Tim; I really enjoyed watching the progression and look forward to on going results over time. All manufactures tend to under rate capabilities (tractors, trucks, etc.) of the equipment and even engineer output limitations. I suspect this is for longevity of the equipment, reducing warranty repairs and knowing if they allowed the equipment to operate at or close to its limit that many people would still push it beyond that point and failures would result. I am very curious to see how it performs and holds up over time with someone that I think would show a little restraint in operating and not constantly push it past its limit.

Well worth the wait... excited to see what's next!

Finally ! Lol looks great and sure looks like a clean job done . Those guys know there stuff you can see that ! Thanks for the update and wowzers that's a huge increase in PTO horsepower . Can't wait to see it in everyday jobs to truly see the difference . Will be interesting to put the 1025r and Johnny x side by side for testing on certain jobs ey . Anyways as always thanks again and God Bless !

Awesome!!!! I want one for my 2025. Can’t wait to see future videos.

Love this! I wonder if you have temperature readings on the hydrostatic drive temperatures and oil pressures. Watching those will help prevent damage to the driveline. Blessings

That's exciting, I hope it works well. Thanks Larry

This has been a great project to watch. I'd love to see if it could pull the TS10 flexwing mower. It would be really impressive if it can handle it.

Every time im about to loose intrest. Bam you got me hooked again!!!

I've ran 2 PSI on my 2015 1025r for several years with zero issues. I had the exact same experience with the additional torque keeping the RPM up not bogging as much when you load it initially. You wouldn't believe how good it sounds! I'm surprised that Tim didn't do a couple of drive-bys for this video.

Absolutely amazing work

Very cool! Great job to all involved! I’ll give some serious thought about a turbo kit, if someday the kit will be offered!

I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s interested in this I want to see everything need to do and if it can possibly cause problems with the Hydrostat for other things to keep them coming

This has been a great test scenario if you will. Good job. The area diesel guys are awesome

Hey Tim 🚜 I really enjoyed this video I can't wait to see how it improves run time Merry Christmas 🎄

We just got a new 1025r. Husband says as soon as the warranty expires he is doing this to our little Johnny. Excited to see future posts of this mod.

Awesome collaboration!

best project in a while. this ones a winner

Well done guys. Now the real refining work begins!

Very cool! Looking forward to seeing it put to work.

Tim...a lot of new inventions have come from the farm. Looking forward to seeing how this all pans out.

Wow, can’t wait to see real world results! This is a great improvement! Take it slow at first though, need to wear the new off!

Thank you for showing the conversion I am interested in decial

Great video. I hope it opens up doors for everyone. Like Tim the Tool Man says, "More power!!" The question is which family member will want to drive this.

Nice! Have you considered painting flames on the sides of it? I love the channel and the content! Keep up the great work! God bless!

Looking forward to seeing it work. Good job to everyone

Definitely give it a few months maybe even a year of testing the guys from area diesel service are smart guys

Impressive Tim. Thanks for sharing.

Thats some impressive HP gain. Consider putting a heat shield over the hot side of the turbo so you don't soften that plastic hood. just needs to be a piece of metal about a half inch above the turbo. The heat coming off it when you are working it will damage the plastic, not right away, but eventually it will either dip or crack. That little tractor will do some serious mowing now.

wow what a increase cant wait to see it when its on a job with a implement, great job to all.

This is an outstanding project! My 2025 would like this type upgrade. Did the fuel system have any changes to the system due to the added boost??

Can't wait to see this contraption of yours put to the test.🤠

That is awesome yall. 1032. Definitely cant wait to see it work.

The backhoe and tiller would be the best to see. Maybe even using a driveway plane to see what happens when the motor gets to that close to stalling range. Seeing if it can get through it without stalling

I am a little concerned with how cool it was out and how warm it got, this will be a good test in mid summer, would be nice if you could check the temp periodically

Ok that's cool! It'll be interesting to see how it works with the implements. 👍🌴🍻

Looks like it works great, and they did a great job tuning it with no black smoke. Glen banks would approve that it’s not wasting fuel, and not creating excessive EGT as a result.

Really appreciate the fact they absolutely refuse to let the mass public be beta testers, unlike many MAJOR manufacturers, due to corporate greed. Says a lot about their core principles and values. Kudos to Area Diesel Service, Inc.

That's pretty cool. Good opportunity to have a little more head room running mowers or bailers that might pull 20hp themselves in addition to the hydrostatic drivetrain.

Wow, that's a big increase in horseys! Gonna be neat to see how it helps PTO output and hydraulic power continuity.

Super excited. Would love to see the 3025e kit. Should be about the same with the exhaust coming out on the other side. Also my 3025e will bog down all the way till it stalls if I stay in it. The hydrostatic trans doesn’t have any release. And also would love to take my 25hp to a 32hp to help with running the rotary cutter and not have to mess with any regen issues that come with the factory 32hp.

Can’t wait to see you work the new setup.this is going to be cool… I’m curious about engine oil weight and things like head gaskets

Hurry up and get it working in the dirt Tim! Hard digging and all the goodies please! Thank you!

They definitely did a great job. It looks Factory!

Looks like some fun videos will be coming our way next year. Happy New Year………Too bad winter has started.

This will be a big help for people in higher altitudes

I foresee these guys being overbooked the next couple of yrs. Excellent series.

I would probably buy a kit for sure. While I do have a JD5075M for larger work, I only use it about 40% of the time on my property and use my 2013 1025R for everything else. For what I do with the 1025R, just a little more umph up hills that I have to maintain would be great.

This would be a great add on for snow blowing. Where the PTO can be under a heavy load for a long time.

Awesome can't wait to see it in action!

Tim, another great video! I’m sure if someone is going to push Johnny X; it’s you. 32HP at the PTO is awesome for one of these little tractors. I think it’s great you’re using your platform to help another business, and show the manufacturers that a turbo option is truly something people are wanting. I know I’d like to have another 10hp on my Mahindra. Like ya’ll were discussing, I’m pretty sure the engine is going to hold together with 5-8 psi of boost; but between the hydrostatic trans, and diffs; that may be another story. Glad to see you’re putting in the due diligence to do some R&D and not just putting a kit out there….If I was a betting man; and the tractor holds together you’ll probably find yourself wanting to bump it up to 10-15, maybe even 20psi and add a fire ring head gasket and some new head studs before releasing a final kit. Definitely need to see how it does next summer when the ambient temps are a lot higher, just to be safe. Thanks again for taking this on! If it fails; at least you’ll show that a turbo is just too much; but a lot of these tractors have similar displacement at different hp rattlings and I think it’s your driveline and hydraulics that are going to be pushed to the limits and not the engine when it comes to long term reliability! Keep the Johnny X Turbo videos coming! Jon@SBYD!

Nice job guys. It's looks one hundred stock with the plastic on it . The tractor even sounds stock . Great job. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

I would say the best test of it would be the stump grinder. where you are trying to put the maximum load on the pto. But the one thing you must always watch out for is your engine temp. with the added HP will you have enough cooling capacity.

Tim, a good equipment test would be with a chipper. I run a Woodland Mills WC88 on my 2032R. That chipper is rated for over 30-50 PTO Hp and the standard 2032R only has 28 PTO Hp. Where I see torque issues is during startup when it is working to spin up that 200 lb flywheel in chipper. You also can see the weakness when running a bid log through. Similar to when you are using the brush cutter on heavy brush and saplings. .

Super clean install

Can't wait to see it hooked to a mower going through high grass or doing some of your landscaping projects like pulling a box scraper, rototiller, etc. love the video project . . . can't wait to see more.

The weak points will be the transmission and the PTO clutches. The ground power will not change unless you crank up the high pressure reliefs on the hydrostatic transmission.

That's awesome! I figured the HP would be up there! The tractor shouldn't bog down much at all under load. Should have more fuel economy as well.

Great job ADS have a day love from TEXAS

I'll be following this adventure. Very cool

If testing goes well, im sure there are many of us who want the kit (including myself) as my 1025r feels like it needs just a little bit more power here in the mountains!
