With a 24.2hp engine and 1,556 lb operating weight, the John Deere 1025R sits at the compact-class end of the compact utility tractors lineup.
At 24.2hp, the John Deere 1025R sits at the lighter-duty end of the horsepower range for compact utility tractors models tracked here (3% of the category's top horsepower figure). By operating weight, it comes in at 2% of the heaviest compact utility tractors model in this dataset.
At an estimated 7.75% APR on a $26,500 purchase price, the 60-month $1-buyout structure modeled here puts the 1025R at $549/mo, with ownership transferring at term end. For financing at this level, buyers at this price point often qualify through a simplified application process rather than a full financial package. Across the full 60-month term, total payments come to $32,957 — about $6,457 above the $26,500 cash price, which is the real cost of financing instead of paying up front.
At an estimated $549/month, this ranks #7 of 11 by estimated payment among currently priced compact utility tractors models — 6% below the compact utility tractors average of $586/mo.
Because 100% bonus depreciation is currently in effect (equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025) and this asset qualifies under Section 179's $2,560,000 2026 cap, the full $26,500 cost is a candidate for a first-year deduction rather than a multi-year depreciation schedule -- the actual benefit depends on the buyer's taxable income, so this isn't a substitute for a CPA's sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the estimated monthly payment for a financed John Deere 1025R?
An estimated $549.28/month over 60 months at a base APR of 7.75%, including a $750.00 doc/origination fee.
Does the estimated payment change based on credit score?
Yes. The calculator above has 5 credit tiers, each adjusting this machine's 7.75% base APR: Subprime 12.25%, Fair 10.25%, Good 7.75%, Very Good 7.00%, Prime 6.25%. "Good" is the default tier shown; drag the slider to see the exact payment at your tier.
Is the John Deere 1025R eligible for a Section 179 tax deduction?
Yes. Under the 2026 Section 179 cap of $2,560,000, qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the full purchase price in the year it's placed in service, subject to CPA verification.
Does 100% bonus depreciation apply to a financed John Deere 1025R?
Bonus depreciation was restored to 100% for equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025, and it applies more broadly than Section 179 -- it isn't capped by the $2,560,000 Section 179 limit and generally isn't affected by a business's Section 179-eligible income limit. Financing rather than paying cash doesn't disqualify a purchase from this: the full $26,500 placed-in-service cost is typically what counts, not the amount actually paid that year. Confirm applicability with a CPA before filing.
What's the total cost of financing this John Deere 1025R versus paying cash?
Over the full 60-month term, estimated payments total $32,957 -- about $6,457 more than the $26,500 cash price. That difference is the estimated cost of financing (interest plus the $750.00 doc fee) rather than paying up front.
How much would a down payment lower the monthly payment on this John Deere 1025R?
Putting 10% down ($2,650 on this John Deere 1025R) reduces the estimated payment from $549/mo to roughly $496/mo at the same 7.75% estimated APR -- a real reduction, since a down payment lowers the amount actually financed rather than just the sticker price.

Resale value data is not yet available for this specific model.
What does a John Deere 1025R rent for?
Iowa State University Extension Farm Custom Rate Survey (March 2024) — machine-rental value (no operator/fuel), 0.32/hp/hour × 24.2hp lists a current rental rate of $7.74/hour for this machine — a real published rate, not our own estimate.
