Owning both JD and Kubota right now, love my JD 2210 that I’ve owned for 18 years. It’s been awesome. However, what steered me into Kubota for my farm tractor that I just bought, knowing that JD still has a ton of litigation about right to repair and back end costs of service/parts. My family farms with JD for the last 30 years. What they have to pay for parts for the simplest of things is just crazy high. Thankfully, they are able to do a majority of their own work or have non-JD shops that are able to handle things they aren’t able to.
Frankly, I was put off by 3 different JD dealers who couldn’t even be bothered to give me an understandable quote and there was no dealing on price. Kubota dealer, on the other hand, sat down with me over lunch on his dime for over 4 hours to get me into a tractor that could cover my immediate, mid-term, and long term needs. Plus the deal was more than fair and you can’t beat their terms and insurance.
Really it’s what your viewer is comfortable with. I’d sacrifice a few small things to buy from a trustworthy dealer who is open, honest, trustworthy and available for after the sale support.

For me they are both great. As you mentioned, dealer service (and friendliness) is everything!

I made my living in our wholesale nursery and landscape business for over 40 years. We had Deutz, Ford, and John Deere. After retirement, I purchased a new L3560 HST cab tractor. With over 800 trouble-free hrs. It is the most enjoyable machine I have owned. Kubota for me.

[Dr.Johnboy]

We have one of each on our little cattle ranch and there’s no comparison. The Kabota is way better.

Personally, it’s just easier to drive, feels like it has a little bit more power, and is far easier to do repairs. We’ve had John Deere tractors, most of my life, and I’ve always loved them, but this Kabota is just awesome! Way cheaper to get replacement parts too.

Actual pricing depends greatly on the dealer. When I was looking last spring (2022), no Kubota dealer I visited (at least six) was giving ANY discount off of list price at all. Nothing. Nada. To a person, they insisted that the Kubota rebate was the "discount." I was ready to buy an L3901 under those conditions from a dealer about an hour away, who had a new one with 0.9 hours on the clock. Then my wife suggested, just for "completeness", we check out the Deere dealer near where we live. We did, and they quoted a 3038E and a 3039R with about a 12% discount off of list, in addition to whatever Deere itself was giving (0% financing, rebates, etc.). I then called a Deere dealer further away, and they quoted the same machines at list. Ended up with a 3039R newly delivered off the factory truck. For me, the lesson was not to restrict yourself to one brand only, and visit as many dealers as is feasible.

I have a JD, but if I could find a Kubota in as good condition and at as great of a price, I'd -almost- trade, but would probably try to buy the Kubota and keep the JD too My first tractor was a compact Kubota, and they're built like tanks. I really like my little JD and don't want to part w/it either. So, probably no help from me, lol, but I Ibelieve you gave him the right advice.

[johnparker]

i got the L3560 limited for about 39k new in 2023. very happy with it. biggest difference that took me that way was the cab seemed a lot wider. i really like the 6 speed with the hi/low to be able to shift on the fly. doing chores around the neighborhood, lifting and moving 1000 pound logs up and down the road, you dont want to have to come to a complete stop to shift. personal story……i live in kentucky, almost no salt or snow. i was up in northern Michigan almost up to the UP. every cherry farm had a kubota. it wasn’t even close. probably 10 to 1. i dont know if the extra 300 pounds of steel means they last longer with salt or they handle cold weather better or better reliably or but if your going to only have 1 tractor, it seems to be a lot of orange out there.

[ScottAnderson-es]

I'd like to see a head to head with John Deere 2038r vs Kubota L3902 vs. Kioti CK 4020 SEH.

[williamcrist]

So I have been doing some of the same looking
However I have been looking between the L4060 and the 3046R. Mainly because of HP
I really like the size of the 3 series. The big reason I am leaning towards the Kubota is the dealer.
The JD dealer I have now is not the same as when I bought my 2320.

[Jasonrcsd]

Have both JD & Kubota dealer support nearby. I used to want a JD but for the price and the fact that Kubota has the skid steer quick attach makes me think I could deal with their improved treadle pedal.

[badgerlandturf]

I was waiting for you to do the Tim Allen grunt after the “more power” comment! 😂Those versa-forks are calling me but I have a set of Deere forks. 😢

[anthonyharris]

Thanks for all the Info.
God Bless you. 🙏🏽

[cboutdoorfun]

Comparing specs they are virtually the same with some small wins going both ways.

3 items I would look at are drive them both to sense comfort and ergonomics. (Like the hydro pedals). Then I would look at price, lastly I would look at quick attach system. It’s a lot easier to find or rent standard skid steer quick attach than it is jd ones

[oefveteran]

Two good, comfortable machines. The next generations are going to need to step the game up, however; Kioti is right there, and TYM/Branson, and LS have really put a lot into ergonomics in the last decade. They're going to need project a strong image of superior confort and luxury if they want to stay at their price points.

[chadbinette]

When my father was looking for a 1025r one dealer just 30 mins away was $1500 cheaper and the other dealer was closer but wouldn't budge on price even knowing "I can drive 30 mins away and get the same tractor for$1500 less" and the cheaper dealer threw in a weight box, does definitely help shopping around. Just watched an Auction with tractor time with Tim and Deere 4720 with 8000hrs just went for $20, 000 and a Kubota 5740 with 2000hrs went for $23, 000. $3000 difference for a few less horsepower and 6000 less hrs seems insane. My grandfather had a Deere for the farm and my dad currently has a 1023 that has been great but people see that green and are willing to shell out the extra green. Just can see that much of a price difference for a name or brand.

[ryanperry]

If considering a 39hp JD, then compare it to the Kubota Grand L 4060 instead of the 3560. Exact same tractor just a more even HP comparison. Then the Kubota wins almost across the board spec wise

[Falkor]

I didnt know they made tractors in other colors but green.

[vinsonhelton]

I like going to the forums specifically for what I'm wanting to buy. Read, research and ask questions. You still have to learn to sift through the fan boy information. But as far as quickly getting to know intimately a product or activity you won't find better information in my opinion.

[tractortalkwithgary]

Good choice Courtney! A slam dunk no- brainer this time.

[ziggy]

The fact that Kabota does not make a belly mower for the L series tractor is what steered me towards the deer. It’s nice being able to mow and use your box. Great without having to swap stuff around.
