The John Deere 2025r compact utility tractor is engineered for effortless operation, and a key component in achieving this user-friendly experience is its hydrostatic (HST) transmission with Twin Touch™ foot controls. This system provides intuitive control and enhanced productivity for a variety of tasks.
Effortless Hydrostatic Transmission for the John Deere 2025R
Twin Touch foot controls
The hydrostatic transmission in the 2025R tractor eliminates the need for manual clutching and gear shifting. Instead, fluid pressure efficiently transmits power from the engine to the wheels via a hydraulic pump and motor. This design translates to exceptionally low pedal effort, making operation remarkably easy and reducing operator fatigue, especially during extended use. The HST unit effectively acts as both a clutch and transmission, simplifying tractor control.
Precision Control with Twin Touch™ Foot Pedals
The Twin Touch foot controls are a standout feature of the John Deere 2025R, allowing for seamless selection of both speed and direction with simple toe and heel movements. This intuitive design is particularly advantageous in tasks demanding frequent directional changes and varied speeds, such as loader work or mowing. Operators benefit from infinite ground speed selection, even at full throttle, ensuring the perfect pace for any job. Quick directional shifts are achieved without clutching, leading to faster cycle times and increased efficiency. Compared to competitive tractors using a less ergonomic treadle pedal (toe-heel) design, the Twin Touch system offers superior precision and ease of use. The system also delivers high torque for smooth start-ups and minimizes powertrain shock, enhancing the longevity of the tractor. Large, robust rubber foot pedals are designed for operator comfort, ensuring confident and convenient control throughout operation.
Durable and Reliable Kanzaki® HST Transmission
Speed range lever
John Deere selected the renowned Kanzaki® HST transmission for the 2025R, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance. This transmission features a robust two-speed range (high and low), easily selectable via a conveniently located lever on the left-hand fender. The Kanzaki HST is engineered for durability, incorporating several key features: a large, forged one-piece trunnion shaft with enhanced support bearings to minimize vibration and noise; an innovative transaxle that integrates the HST, gear reduction axle, and clutch; pressure side filtration utilizing a finer 10-micron filter (superior to suction filtration systems found in many competitor models); a dedicated charge pump for consistent oil delivery to the transmission (unlike some competitors using a shared pump for transmission and hydraulics); and an oil cooler to maintain optimal transmission oil temperature, further extending its service life.
The John Deere 2025R, equipped with its user-friendly Twin Touch™ hydrostatic transmission and durable Kanzaki components, provides operators with unmatched control, efficiency, and a smooth operating experience, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of tasks.
