John Deere 1025R maintenance schedule
From the first checks to major service. Every interval opens a working checklist.
Does this guide match your machine?
This schedule comes from John Deere manual OMLVU28482, August 2015 Export Edition. Check that it matches your tractor. Parts from the 2024 guide are identified separately.
Check the manual and machine versionLow hours? Calendar deadlines still apply.
Every 2,000 hours or 2 years, whichever comes first: Flush cooling system and replace coolant. Default when coolant is NOT checked annually. With the prescribed annual checks, manual permits six years / 6,000 hours; follow the test result and your manual.

At a numbered milestone, include recurring tasks whose intervals divide evenly into that hour reading. For example, 400 hours includes the 200-hour tasks. First 50-hour work is separate from repeating 50-hour work.
Time limits run independently of the hour meter. A 12-month or 200-hour limit means whichever comes first. This is a milestone planner, not an overdue-service calculation: it does not know your last service.
Dust, prolonged low-speed use and fuel selection may shorten intervals. Review the severe-use notes in section 08-1.
