✦
Overview
This video isolates one specific metric, real-world turning diameter with a mower deck attached, in 2WD, and applies a consistent chalk-circle method across the New Holland Workmaster 25S, Kubota BX, and John Deere 1025R. Measured results are 73 inches (25S), ~78 inches (BX), and ~50 inches (1025R). Best for shoppers who prioritize mowing maneuverability and want an apples-to-apples number rather than manufacturer specs.
An owner-operator channel where the host and his wife run the tests themselves on their own property, so expect a casual, candid tone with openly acknowledged measurement limitations.
