John Deere 1025R vs. Kubota BX2680 | Which Loader is Better?

Lawn Equipment experts, Josh and Chris, walk through the differences between the John Deere 1025R Tractor and the Kubota BX2680.

They start off by comparing the loader cycle times and loader detachment capabilities of both tractors. Ran side-by-side in real-time, it becomes clear to see which model outperforms the other.

You guys should probably educate yourselves on your competitors product before doing a comparison video. You completely removed the loader on the kubota ass backwards as the proper procedure is seamless. The stand shouldn't fall into the ground like that as is designed to open with the bucket in the open position. It will also close on its own in the fully curled position, all without getting off the seat or having your dummy sales partner help you. You guys are either ignorant or are snake oil salesmen. Let the products sell themselves

I like how you conveniently skipped the hose removal process where the Kubota is way better than the Who disconnects their loader then reconnects it without touching the hoses in the real world??

Really don't think these guys have any idea on the operation of these tractors, especially the guy operating the Kubota, they are both great units with each there own advantages. I just purchased a new Kubota BX23S and really like it, the loader can easily be removed from the operator seat and backhoe only takes a couple minutes.

honestly in this class of tractors why does cycle times matter ?? i priced both john deere and kubota and was told by a local john deere dealership that the new BX was honestly the better tractor for the money . In which it was . 5K cheaper and more metal than the john deere, better warranty, more availability on attachments . Plus the new hookups for the bucket allows me to hook up to any skid steer attachment, unlike the john deere where it is brand specific . Plus there is a factory third function valve option now too. john deere should probably pay attention and step up the sub compact game, and quit riding on the green pain. i use to own john deere but the sub compact and compact tractor quality has suffered greatly compared to other manufactures

ssqa and 3rd function should be standard options on every tractor

Oh wow.. another comparison video by a Deere dealership... I wonder which machine will win..

[orserjrci]

The people who get butthurt because there tractor is getting the bad review crack me up. I mean these guys work for a Deere dealership so uhhh duhhh the Deere is better. I have used both and I wish both brands would change some stuff

[truthinjesus]

The Deere has higher lift capacity. Is much the same price as kubota equivalent. Polymer over dentable rustable metal. Is my choice now offering 6 yr drive train warranty. Looks better, ergonomically better. Talk about the mower deck, attach and detach 3 times to one attach of the. Kubota. Both great tractors but there is no such thing as total equality.

Why don't you compare the Massey Ferguson too?

[derek]

Why didn't they compare price?? Oh yeah because it's not even close lol

While there will always be a trade off in details year to year, I find it a "little" insulting as a viewer to watch this. There did seem to be a "slight" advantage in cycle time which to me would not be the ultimate game changer but the operator on the Kubota played a huge disadvantage to that machine (intentionally or not?) As far as the Kubota bucket, it was totally on the operator on the not knowing how to properly remove and attach. Plenty of vids showing proper technique. Either way the most important aspects of a compact tractor not even touched in my mind. A couple seconds wait either way far from key concerns. I am certainly not against JD and admire in some ways but this type of video put a bad taste in my mouth of dealer mentality

[darind]

Complete clowns. SALES all the way. How about a price comparison?

[stevenswm]

I don't trust this comparison for a minute! These are JD people. I'll pay attention to videos like this, when there is actually a Kubota person and a JD person handling their own respective tractors! Until then, it's all meaningless! bye bye
