I have a new Holland tc35 absolutely love it I looked at a few kubotas but the treadle pedal was the biggest down fall I have a bad right ankle and couldn’t use that pedal at all I have a couple neighbors that have a jd the other a kubota and My tractor will out lift them all day long plus what is really nice is that NH lifts higher. Great choice and enjoy your new tractor

The 3025 is supposedly an “economy” level machine that is absolute bare bones. A lot of JD people out there even say they would never buy it.

Congrats on your new tractor, i think theres pros and cons to all the diff manufacturers

Nice review Cuz. I bought the RK55 and I absolutely love it. However, i just keep reading horror stories about support. That said, i really think the support varies by location. I think you made a good decision, New Holland has been around for a long time and will be for years to come. Hope it serves you well

I really appreciate the unadulterated walk through! I bought my W.M.25 for 18000.00, it's going to aide me for years.

Literally people spend all day on Kubotas no issues....... with brakes or the dreaded pedal. It all comes down to preference, good pick going to help you greatly. My choice was reliability and family history of decades of Kubota ownership. Also dealer support literally 4 dealers within 10 miles vs New Holland.

Great review on the reason to select the New Holland. I have always wanted a green tractor but never selected one for the reasons you have covered. Enjoy the new machine.

Great video and a reminder that there is a tractor (and brand) out there for all of us. I wanted a Kubota; but bought a Kioti instead for many THOUSANDS less. Also way better on the spec sheet. I didn't settle for my Kioti, it won out on price/features/power/etc. I like ALL tractors; Kubota's included. But I like my budget too. It all comes down to getting a great tool for a great price. JD and Kubota are like Mercedes and BMW. I question if they are "better" but the folks selling them sure do think they are. i didn't look at the New Holland's because of lack of dealers around me but sure looks like a well build machine. You just need some more HP and a cab! (Don't you love how others spend your money!). 😂👍🏼. Enjoying the channel!

New Holland is the Best Buy I shopped for two years Kubotas and John Deere were in the $22,000 to $24,000 range I walked into new Holland dealer $15,500 with loader TC 30 10 years ago great tractor.

I had the JD 2305 and then the 1025r. The 1025r was loaded out with options and a backhoe. 2 years ago, I traded it in for a 3025e. I found out after years of owning tractors, I don't need lots of bells and whistles. I put ballast in the tires on the 3025e. It does a great job and I paid 18000 out the door. It also helps that there are 2 JD dealers within 30 minutes!

Hi old Mate, I'm glad you did the leg work for me. I wanted to know more about the other brands to see the features they had. I have made my choice of new tractors already but was having aa slight doubt but not anymore. I made the right choice. I ordered the TYM 265 with loader/backhoe combo. The thing that was bothering me was the power steering ram up in front of the front Diff & being a low tractor would make it a target for what ever flicks up into it but looking at your review virtually all are like that accept the Kubota (it has guards around the ram) but I dumped Kubota (JD also has only 1 brake) for a different reason and that is No turning brakes & all the other features you mentioned missing. The TYM has it all standard. I think you made a good choice there too, the New Holland are good tractors, we have one of those as well which I'm restoring at the moment to like brand new, no pollution B/S being 35 horse, but this one is a 1.7 litre Shuburu motor in it and quiet it is too. Happy Tractoring mate from Australia.

I have nothing against John Deere or Kubota but I prefer the New Holland . I also agree that with enough time the sheet metal will scratch, dent and rust, in comparison to the plastic hood and fenders that will dry out ,crack and break to the point of falling off the tractor. That’s the reason I now have a New Holland and not a Deere. If I didn’t see the tractor as a long term investment but rather something I traded in every few years like a car or truck plastic would be fine. However, in fifty years from now it might be harder for my son to find new plastic fenders than it would be to repainting the metal fenders.

The E series is John Deere’s economy and entry level tractor. Most of these features are offered in the R series. Like you mentioned it is a more expensive tractor. Any how enjoy your new machine, it’s a nice tractor.

I just bought this tractor today. It is getting delivered next week. I am looking forward to using it on my homestead.

What happened to the RK24 you were comparing? Seemed like you liked it a lot

The one thing about the way New Holland states their lifting on the FEL is at the pins, 1600lbs. I believe the same for the rear 3 point as well. Where JD and Kubota measures some thing like 24" out, which is a more realistic way of determining how much you can lift that is probably why it appears the New Holland lifts more. With that said though, it wouldn't surprise me if the New Holland can lift more still. Very nice tractor you have there.

What Kubota model were you comparing to when you say the brake pedal is on the right? The Lx2610 (25hp) model has the split brake pedal on the left.

Nice video! One thing I will say about the 3 series John Deere, I own one, and I Mow with it, and I have found that I have zero issues pushing the hydrostatic forward or reverse, usually when mowing or running my box blade I twist a little and run forward and reverse with my left foot. I looked at new Holland myself, but there’s no dealer within a reasonable distance so I went with my 3025e and I am happy with it. I’m happy for you and your new tractor 👍🏻

I as a retired farmer and heavy diesel mechanic. ( CAT&CUMMINGS ) I personally think you used good judgment. Most people don't realize practically all compact and subcompack tractors are oriental in orgin and assembled if your lucky assembled here. The only thing JD&KUBOTA have going for them is dealer network. Comparing specs is the best way to make a good decision.

I do not know what john deer dealer you went to, but it comes standard with a 3 point stabilizer I bought 3025 3 months ago and it is a beast of a tractor.

Can you tell me about steel building behind you in this video? BT W you helped me with my tractor selection.

I did a lot of tractor comparison. You get what you pay for. I bought a Kubota ,you can't kill that engine. Look up used prices they hold up better than most. It's all built by Kubota. I also looked at the New Holland , think made in India, and parts are likely Source from a multiple countries and manufacturers. New Holland is more refined and more finished for sure. You do get used to the treadle pedal . Not as bad as you make sound, although I agree with the breaks and a ridiculous location. I would have preferred the traditional pedal setup but it's something you get used to.

I'm new to any brand tractor - this will be my 1st. tractor and I've been considering the Workmaster 25. When buying different attachments can you buy any brand or do you have to buy New Holland - snowblowers in particular, but others as well. And - did you look at Kioti? thanks for the help.

Interesting video, I own a Kubota 3301 and bought it new approximately three years ago. I have had no problems with the treble-peddle or the break on the same side while clearing our 5.5 acres. My foot never became tired either as you can actually rest it on the side of the pedal. Not to say New Holland tractors are not good tractors. I noticed in your video after this one was made that you are now dissatisfied with your New Holland and the lack of power. That's unfortunate.

I agree on tredal control on Kabota. I like John Deere to. But I don't know of any New Holland dealers near me. Plus are the made by Lx tractors? Who makes the engines? All companies point out stuff like that. But yet nobody makes a whole tractor themselves. I would need a cup holder to.

Did you check out the bobcat CT2025?

I just got to sit on and run for a day a Mahindra. I was impressed. My father in-law just bought a tiny one, I told him not to sell it unless he talks to me first. We own several John Deere, 2 4440s, 2 2940s, a 2040, a 6400 with loader. I hate, I mean hate to work on them! We also have 2 Hestons, a kubota, a Ford 7600, international 464, and a just acquired new holland 4020. Easy maintenance and almost no probs on all but the deere’s. The old hestons are bulletproof, the ford and kubota second. So far the newer New Holland is doing well

I needed a tractor that could lift a 1500 lb ibc totes full of firewood. Every channel was saying a compact tractor couldn't do it. The Workmaster 25 lifted it right up,high enough to stack them. Going to install a third function for a grapple bucket. Bets part is the 25 HP is emission free.

I just hit 100 hrs on my LS MT125 which is the same as the new Holland. It’s been great so far we’ve used it for multiple jobs on our farm

Congrats and thank you for letting us know about the features in detail God Bless

You are going to be happy with it I reckon, I think you should make a slip over ram shaft stop so you can raise the loader to the up most position so you can work under it safely, cat use them on their Loader back hoe as a lock out. Make sure you lube the skidder bucket latches offen as lack of use does them no favers.

You are going to be shocked at just how good that tractor is going to be. I have 2 LS tractors and love them.

What about making the hood pivot forward?

Did you ask the your dealer about a mower deck? Went and looked at a work master 25 today. I love the tractor, but my dealer said there’s currently no mower deck option for the 25. I’d have to go up to a 35 to get a mower deck. What the hell is the mid pto for if I can’t get a mower deck. Back to square one for my tractor search.

Hi, my workmate needs to have its hand/parkbrake adjusted, is this an easy job, please?

Deere told me the can add cruise control for $300. Thanks for giving me something else to consider.

Silly question. Can you pull a 6 foot box blade well, with the Workmaster 25? Like everyone else budget allows for this size tractor, but my hardest work will be my 2 mile driveway. A 6 foot box will best suit the job. The tractor is all I need. Lol.

Very happy I came across this video. I justified what I was thinking. Thank you for doing it.

I just bought a kubota L2501 hydro I though I wouldn't like the pedal but I love it. I don't know anybody that puts their whole boot on the peddle and uses it like a rocker. the kubota L series is bare bones but it "feels" like a tractor to me. I'm just not a man that's impressed with features. congrats on the tractor! I know the head ache of going back and forth between brands because there alot of money and you want be pleased.

i have same tractor 2020 now having issues lots of white smoke and odd engine noises

I was pricing the smaller tractors last year and a surprise to me the kubota was one of the cheaper ones. I was expecting it to be on the higher end. JD was way higher then Kioti, NH, Kubota, Massey in that order.

Can you lift a round bale of hay with the wm25c

Good video. Don't trust the look numbers that you hear from the dealers. They manipulate those numbers.

Did you look at the Branson 2515 tractor?

I think whatever tractor YOU buy YOU will be happy with it. I personally find no interest in the new holland but I have nothing against them it's just MY opinion. I am a Massey Ferguson guy because thats what I like and grew up on even though I also have a Kubota and a JD 1023 for mowing. My utility tractor is a Massey Ferguson so buy what YOU like and enjoy it.

i spend 4 to 6 hours on my kubota never had problems with my paddle or right knee

What tractor did you trade for this

Nice machine, but kind of cramped. I know you’ve already bought, but I suggest you go look at a Kioti. I don’t think they have a standard mid PTO, but 2 sets of rear remotes, extensions for the 3 Point hitch. More room on the operating station, more comfortable loader controls. IMHO. Enjoy your new machine!

Tnxs for the video.Very informative.Im going with NH.good luck and prosper.

Great review, thanks for sharing

The alliminum rear if that's where the hydraulic oil is it might cool the oil faster.maybe cheaper than an oil cooler. The price of the tractors I believe goes way deeper than being proud of there equipment.

The NH sub compact is O.K. (actually its an LS tractor) when they are new . The problem with them (and LS) is long term reliability. The Workmaster 25 will not hold up as well as your old NH tractor. I'm not advocating any specific brand over another, but I've done a lot of research on tractors and the small sized NH & LS have a generally bad rep for long term reliability. You are really going to haver to stay on top of maintenance for your new baby. It is not going to take the abuse of your old NH.

New Holland Tractors are Great very well made. Stylish and look good. I own a 2008 New Holland TN70A 70hp with loader 1500hrs I bought a few years ago for $15 thousand and looks almost new. It's large and love it. The Bare-Co Canopies are great, as well. Get one wide enough so it will go out close to the edge of the fenders or little beyond. Get the mounting kit that will allow you mount the brackets on the outsides of ROPS that way the canopy will sit low and keep sun off of you. They are great and very well made. I bought the senior the largest they make and I am very happy how it fits. They recommend the next size down for my size tractor. I went up a size.... 1:02

Gotta keep in mind that the $difference between the workmaster 25 and the JD 3033r is mostly in the horsepower jump and premium features.You are not comparing apples to apples. The JD 3r series don't start till 33 hp also available in 39,46 hp. The 3r series is in a different class. Its a premium tractor like the Boomer.There is $4- 5,ooo difference between the 3039R compared to 3046r. I agree that I wouldn't want a JD e series based purely on the permanent loader.

They are nice tractors, no good New Holland dealers near me. I have an L3901 Kubota. If I had to do it over again, I would have bought a skid steer. I am now buying a skid steer too.

Also I have an older TC 26, very similar to your tractor. It has the dreaded treadle for forward and reverse. I do some debris removal from roads with a lot of forward and reverse. Once it took three hours. No issues with comfort. But, the brake pedals are right above the treadle, so you can’t drag a brake for a shorter turn radius. Now THATS really dumb. Some engineer who has never been on a tractor. ,

I cannot quite afford the Ford. Do you think that the RK25 is a good tractor for a 5 acre mini farm. I am just going to be using it to remove manure, gardening, brush hogging, moving pig shelters, and things like that.

I prefer gear drive shuttle shift but you can’t get that on a 3E JD either I don’t believe. I’m currently looking at a Workmaster 33 and will probably go with it. I like the looks of all 3 but looks aren’t everything.

I got kubota and love it!

The loader lifts 1600 pounds which includes the loader weight.

Thanks for the Video very helpful...

Although I can’t stand JD, you could have saved even more by buying direct from LS as LS manufactures those tractors for New Holland... the one up side is that you will have New Holland service and support with your work master.

What happened to the rk?

Yea I got the actual quote today..I thought the 23,400 was OTD..Nope it was 27,265..Thats HST with Tax and fees and insurance payments around 454 a month..A bit much I think for around the house.

from a safety perspective never work under a raised bucket without some form of safety device activated. :)

Thanks a lot for uploading. This loader to European eyes looks like the loaders built in the seventies. Nowadays hydraulic lines run internally. It is brand new and the paint where the ropes folds down is already rubbed off. Recently a lot of small tractors have been imported from India to where I live. They look more modern than this machine. Kubota sells different machines in Europe than in the USA. Better equipped and more expensive. They also don’t sell their loaders in Europe. How come the US excels in building aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines and all the rest is second rate? Most of US machinery would be unsellable in Europe.

I have the exact same tractor, just with the OEM label on it: "LS".

Good video, and I went through the same process myself. I ended up buying the Deere 3025D. It's a new model, so I get that they aren't readily available for test drive. I would like to point out though, that it outperforms both the 3025E and the New Holland in every category I could find. Higher 3 pt and loader lift capacities, more horsepower, higher hydraulic flow. the argument of the HST vs the gear drive tells people you need a HST for loader work.absolutely not true. I've never driven a tractor prior to buying one and the gear drive is operable without a second thought within a few hours of seat time. what steered you away from the "D"?

4wd ?

How do you get it to go faster mine I can walk faster than this one

I think the biggest thing you're doing here is you're comparing the 3025Eand the E series is an economy tractor so you're not going to get a lot of features because it's a lower priced economy tractor however if you compare that New Holland to the 3039R it'll blow that New Holland tractor out of the water

Looks good

Great info !!

Different strokes for different strokes but personally I like the tredal pedal design

I have been looking at the Branson 2015 H. Bad Boy has the same tractor as a 4025 H .

How much was that New Holland after tax out the door? Another KZfaqr said he paid $24,000 for a John Deere 3025D with loader, I've been looking for a tractor about the size of the John Deere 3025D but I'm not sure about the price.

On your JD video you said you didn't want hydro because of the repair cost? Now you said you do 🤔

Cut off wheel and a piano hinge will solve the side panel issue.

Sharp!

Should of got the LS version of the work master. It’s about 5K less for the same thing.

Still liking your tractor?

Check the Hinomoto HM255 with yanmar engine, a great tractor 2022

Hey man I am looking at buying the 25s, what do you think about the warranty, did you buy it? I was thinking about purchasing the four-year warranty with this

Should have bought a Branson. 2200 lb lift cap. On 25 hp tractor

the main thing ,cost a deer is to much money for the tractor and parts

I like the cast iron.

ECU failure cost one guy $ 4100 dollars. Factory support was shit as well.... so he says.

What is the advantage of a metal hood vs a polymer hood ? The dents, paint scratches through the primer for the rust to start ?

Seems like John Deere is loosing touch with their customer base. More and more people are choosing not to use them any more. And the people that are using are suing to be able to actually use them. They need to do some soul searching as a company.

Nice tractor.

Absolutely right on the Kubota don’t like both peddles on the same side and not having a split pedal either

Did you not look at Massey Ferguson ?

Blue tractors all the way, I only buy blue tractors!

Easy battery access.

And FYI… John Deere’s electronics mostly are not user repairable,

Nice review and I do agree you get a lot of tractor for the money with the WM25. I used to sell NH tractors and the specs are definitely compelling. Plus it has a non emission Mitsubishi engine which is good for efficiency and reliability. Thanks for sharing.

I’ll stick with my Kubota thank you 🙏 😊

I thought you really liked the rural king

OFFRD: “There’s no way your going to mangle this one up and bend it.” Me: “Hold my beer.” 😂

New holland used to be Ford tractors, so they are great 👍👌
