John Deere Snowblower - 1025r

John Deere Snowblower - 1025r - vs Blizzard

Today we'll use the John Deere Snowblower attachment on the 1025r to clean up after the blizzard of 2022. Looks like we have about a foot of snow overall with some drifts up to 2 feet deep. Let's get the John Deere 1025r with the 47 inch front mount snowblower and get busy. This set up with the snowblower on the front and a 60 inch plow blade on the back is (in my opinion) the perfect setup for snow removal. We also have a stuck car to deal with so let's get started.
Equipment used:
John Deere 1025r subcompact tractor
John Deere 47 inch snowblower
King Cutter 60 inch back blade

As someone who has a 60” Meteor rear PTO snowblower on a sub-compact tractor • Your tractor and front pto snow blower seem to do the job with no issue. I like that you have a rear blade mounted at the same time too • Rear PTO blowers near me are about 1/3 the price of front blowers and make it worth it by allowing it to still have a front implement on at the same time too • Thanks so very much for posting and sharing Backyard Maine- love seeing that snow come out the cute! All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸

I have some friends with the rear PTO driven snowblowers and they sure get the job done. I bought my tractor used with the blower and added the back blade which I think is a great combination for my property.

I have the 1025 with the rear blower and agree it's great to be able to use the bucket when using the blower...it's great and gets the job done however it's a pain in the ass as you have to be turned around looking back at all times when the blower is in use...I live in Nova Scotia Canada on a hill overlooking the ocean and the last ten years or so all we get is wet heavy snow and it'll make the 1025 work for sure...that light powdery snow like in this video is nothing to remove...bought mine new and if I had to do it over again I would have the front blower instead and a cab...live and learn I guess.

@lorinkramer1524 2 жыл бұрын

Your excellent video just reinforced the conclusion I've come to. A snowblower definitely has it's advantages over a plow blade. Your driveway is much larger than mine. With a deep snow as shown, with a plow-it moves the snow, but you still have to put it someplace; requires double handling. With a snowblower, you reduce or eliminate the second step. The majority of the snow is cleared and moved with the first step. Final clean up can be done with a plow with minimal effort like you did with a backblade. Thanks again, great video!

@BackyardMaine 2 жыл бұрын

As a tractor and blower user and fan myself. If you can get a cab, it makes a huge difference. I have a JD3320 open cab and after 10 years finally added the cheapest cab I could find. I can't express how much of a difference this made. Of course make sure you have a large enough door for the height. Backyard Maine looks like he wouldn't have that option as the ROPS bar is folded over in order to fit (I assume). I myself had to do some minor modifications to my overhead door to make mine fit, and it just barely does. But worth every moment of trouble to make it fit IMHO.

I used to have TWO John Deere 212 tractors when I lived in NY. I had one with a plow, and one with a blower. The plow was MUCH faster with smaller amounts of snow (4-5" and under). The blower cleared stuff the plow wouldn't have been able to get through. Deepest I ever did with the blower was 37". So, tell your wife you need BOTH a plow AND a blower. LOL

Nice tractor and blower setup. I have a JD x590 with the 47 blower works great on the snow we get in Minnesota. About to head out now and take care of the 10" we received so far today with more on the way. That means I get to use it multiple times over the next few days, YEA!! Would love to upgrade to the JD 1 series, more HP and capabilities

I found a great deal on this one used but with only 5 hours on it and for half price of a new one. We're having an unusual winter here in southern Maine. Only used the snow blower once back in mid December. The grass is actually turning green again with temps in the 40s and 50s.

I have a 1025 with a 72" loader mount plow I built. I also went to Tractor Supply and purchased a cattle mat. I cut a piece off 8" wide and installed it under my 4" cutting edge. If it ever wears out I can flip it to get to a new edge. On my 2nd year and it shows very little wear. I like I can plow over the grass and not tear up the yard. It justs sweeps over the grass. I also have a 758 tractor that I mounted a 47" snow blower. The blower is App. 35 years old I rebuilt everything and made mounts to fit the front on the 758. Up to 5" of snow I use the plow to push it to one side of my driveway then use the blower to get rid of it. Over 5" I just use the blower. I enjoy playing in the snow.

@BackyardMaine 2 жыл бұрын

Sound like you have an awesome setup. I use the same tractor supply horse mat on my back blade. I pinch it between the metal cutting-edge and the plow. It works good over grass but also helps save the surface of my asphalt driveway. Three year and I haven’t flipped it yet. I guess great minds think alike. 😎 Thanks for watching!

@charlesmach7511 2 жыл бұрын

@@BackyardMaine I also mount the mat the same way. I agree it acts like a squeege on the blacktop and sweeps over the grass in my yard.
