Deere 4066R VS. Kubota MX6000. Side by Side Comparison

Well here is an actual side by side comparison of the two tractors. Im a Deere tractor guy but I try to be 100% bias. The Kubota has done everything I've put in front of it. But I do think the Deere will do some of them little better. And with the extra weight and different tires, it rides allot better.

Let me know what you think.

I still like the kubota especially if you have to do anything with hills center of gravity is lower

Nice comparison, I enjoyed the video!
I built out each tractor on the manufacture's website as you described them, loader included. The MX6000 was $61, 498 and the Deere 4066 was $73, 936! Note that the L6060 with a comparable load-out is $71, 513 (Prices are Q2 2024). This is why I agree with the comments stating a better comparison would be the L6060 as it does have all the amenities that the Deere has and thus is a fairer comparison price wise.
If the price difference was 2K, I would be tempted to go Deere for that rear bumper 3-point control. However, I went Kubota since they use metal, have direct hydraulic controls when possible, allow the owner to fully maintain the machine, have a more "aggressive" look, and offer low cost cab options by stripping out everything that is not essential. Deere forces you to get nearly all creature comforts when going the cab route. They must assume money is no option if you get a cab tractor 🥲

Perhaps you misspoke when you said the difference between the MX6000 and 4066 was only 2K, because if it was... you either got ripped off by the Kubota dealer or have dirt on the owner of a Deere dealer 🥵

I love my Kubota! John Deere is not as reliable as it used to be!

Deere for AG. Kubota for Utility. MX6000 is a perfect machine. Kubota makes the entire tractor.

Is the idea on the Deere that the front plastic hood piece is supposed to be the screens for the coolers?

Congrats. I do like the deeres but I have two kubotas. I think apples to apples would be the l6060. I think you may have said that. Both will get the job done but the Deere is definitely nicer. If I were to get rid of my kubota I’d get a 3046r cab. What’s the size of your shop?

Skid- not a fair comparison, your needs in the work you’re doing I can see you want a little bit more of a deluxe cab but for what that MX is really marketed at as utility lifting machine, a logging, mowing machine and it’s not a fair comparison. when you were at the front axle although you’re steering is in the rear it’s below the axle. I believe I couldn’t tell through your video, but I’ve seen other comparisons that Kabota’s got 15 inch plus clearance and nothing hangs below the axle and that protector shield does great through brush.
I have two replacement knees and looking at the narrowness and how you have to get your body through doorway and in between the tilt and seat would be a pain for me, at my age of 62 I like the room the MX gives me for some of my physical handicaps. Lifting 20 plus ft beams to build with, that Mx has a linebacker 3 point stance and wide tires to make that JD look like chicken legs. Last when I research tractors, I looked at what the big farmers use and I saw a podcast where you own a fleet of John Deere and you can’t afford another piece of equipment and try to swap it out with something $80, 000 cheaper the JD farming software will not work with any other brand-

Its all in what you like and going to do with it. I have no problems with the John Deere performance my major complaint with them is the cost to maintain them. Now with that being said i'm a little older than you so back in the day i started off with them but parts prices and the way they do business in my little town i did much better leaving them for Kubota products . Its nice and good luck with it. What are you going to do with the kubota.

[shohokuslamdunk]

If you get a chance go try out a Kubota Grand L6060. Let us know what you think comparing that with the Deere.

[deeprootk]

I will never buy a Deere due to their horrible stance on right to repair. Just bought a MX6000 and the same unit from Deere was over 10k more.

[jeffwright]

I have the mx 6ooo no cab l love .it costs less.the front axle is beefy bigger tires .the seat is the only thing l don't like

[jaytillquist]

Too bad the Deere is all electronic and you can't work on much of it.

[kurtisb]

As far as I know the only place in Canada that makes tractors get a plate is Quebec. But they don’t really claim us and we don’t claim them either. They’re…. Difficult.

[collinb]

How are the loader controls of the Deere compared to the Kubota? That the one thing that frustrates us about our 4066 vs our old case 45. Our case can multifunction no problem, no searching for that In between for curl and raise. Also that front grill does come off, the head light connector is b**** to disconnect.

[brianjennings]

Why compare a base model to a premium model. The m6060 kubota is a better comparison.

[ffrob]

I had made my mind up that I did not want a deere and I was going to get either a MX6000 or an L6060 but now i might have to go check out the Deere

[waynejones]

I have a 2032 and I have dropped lots of things on the hood and not broke it

[carlhill]

Off topic question. Did you say in one of your older videos that you have a Brillion Till and Seed? If so have you any video content on it?

Thanks

[richardmeyer]

The biggest difference between Deere and Kubota is the no factory front 3pt on the Deere. I know you can put a zieberg kit on for several thousand but it should be standard
