Same horsepower, two different tractors
Here's why horsepower alone won't pick your tractor. The 3026 and 4025 both make 25 hp. Past that number, they're built for different jobs.
The 4025 carries a bigger engine, 104.5 cubic inches to the 3026's 71.7. It weighs 2,970 lb against 2,106 lb. Its hydraulics move 11.5 gpm, where the 3026's move 7.4. You'll see it at the loader and the hitch. The 4025 lifts 2,200 lb at full height and 2,425 lb on the 3-point, measured 24 inches back. The 3026 lifts 1,314 lb and 974 lb. PTO power's close, though, at 19.1 hp on the 4025 and 18 on the 3026.
The 3026 has its own strong points. It sits 16.4 inches off the ground, against 13.1 on the 4025. It's shorter, at 110 inches long to the 4025's 134.88. And it's narrower, at 53.8 inches to 56.7. Its loader reaches 86 inches, while the 4025's reaches 104.
Not sure which one's yours? Think about the heaviest thing you'll put in the bucket, and the heaviest implement you'll hang off the back. If either one comes close to the 3026's figures, the 4025's the better bet. It also carries 7.1 gallons of fuel to the 3026's 6.0.
The 4025 package we put together
Of the packages we put together, the Bryan one starts with the tractor that sells best there. It pairs a Bad Boy 4025 and loader with a 5' shredder, a 5' box blade and a 20' trailer. That covers mowing, dirt work and hauling with one setup. The loader goes up front, and the shredder and box blade take turns on the CAT I hitch.
Thinking about clearing ground, not just keeping it up? A tractor sized for upkeep can be pressed into that job. It can be done, but it's slow and hard on the machine. That's where the 4025's extra weight and lift come in. Ask about the package when you come by our Bryan store.

Questions people ask
What's the difference between the Bad Boy 3026 and 4025?
Weight, hydraulics and lift. Both make 25 hp, but the 4025 weighs 2,970 lb to the 3026's 2,106. Its loader lifts 2,200 lb at full height, and the 3026's lifts 1,314. On the 3-point, it's 2,425 lb against 974 lb. If you'll run a loader hard, you'll want the 4025.
Which 30 Series tractor sits higher off the ground?
The 3026. It has 16.4 inches of ground clearance, where the 4025 has 13.1. It's the shorter tractor too, at 110 inches long, so it takes up less room in the barn. If you're driving over ruts and stumps more than you're lifting, it's worth a look.
How much hydraulic flow does the Bad Boy 4025 have?
The 4025 moves 11.5 gpm in total, against 7.4 gpm on the 3026. More flow moves the loader and the 3-point along at a better clip. You'll notice it when you're filling and dumping a bucket over and over on a long day of dirt work.
How much does a Bad Boy 30 Series tractor cost?
Call our Bryan store for current pricing on the 3026 and 4025. Pricing depends on the model and how it's equipped, so the store will price the one you want.
