I have owned the JD5065E and now own the Kubota for about 1 1/2 years. I have 3 wheel weights on each rear wheel and liquid in them. It is much more user friendly than the JD. I'm 78 years old and I've owned and operated tractors for many years. Years ago JD were better built than they are today. Kubota is about like owning a Honda or Toyota, you don't have down time like the JD. I put about 500 hours a year on the tractor. I've bought 3 new JDs and 2 of them had major problems .No more JDs for me.

I know this is several years old but I just watched and laughed my rear end off. You could be the best used car sales of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how he tries to turn positives from the Kubota to a negative- “the battery is the first thing you see under the hood of the Kubota with nothing over it, but John Deere’s is under a bunch of stuff and is harder to get out..... but it’s better.” “The skid steer attachments are great, but you risk being stupid and picking up attachments that are too big.” This is a pretty biased “comparison” and makes me want to get a Kubota even more, just because of this guys horrible comparison technique.....

And as big of a Deere fan as I am, the number one pet peeve I have with Deere is that they need to do away with their JD quick attach loader attachments and go ahead and standardize to SSQA like everyone else has. I know it’s optional on a Deere but it needs to be standard, it’s 2018! That is just Deere’s need to feel exclusive.

Exactly what I was looking for... A easily displayed serial number, sold! Tell me no more, I'm buying one John!

Nevermind that he passed right over the proprietary RPM button to hold rpm's even to save fuel while pumping extra fluid to the pto. Oh and the nifty dual latch on the loader that gives you the choice of an extra foot to height or extra power for a heavier load.

'And lastly guys one thing I didn't hit on is..is the colour of the Deere coincidently matches the SAME colours of the logo on my shirt!'. This isn't so much a comparison but simply an exercise in pointing out the dislikes on the Kubota! Indian vs Japanese, open your eyes guys!

John Deere definitely seems more user friendly and ergonomic. The big neat thing about the Kubota is the ability to use skid steer attachments. I would love to be able to run a small forestry mulcher from a front end loader and not have to buy a CTL. As far as battery placement, I don't think I really like either. On the Kubota it will be blocking air flow to the radiator, but on the John Deere it is hanging down and could catch on a log or something if you're being careless. The metal box it is in seems sturdy but you're still losing some ground clearance.

After watching this I will definitely be getting a Kubota. I know people that have both of these brand names and the one that has the Kubota loves it and the person that has the John Deere admitted he should've got the Kubota, but because he was offered a good deal on the Deere he took the Deere. I have used both and I just love the Kubota. Thanks for helping me make up my mind.

that low mounted battery on the deere is probably the stupidest idea in the last 50 years of tractor design!

I have owned many Tractors and, I happen to own the M7060. The M7060 is a little lite in the rear-end but not enough to worry about because it weighs in with solid steel. The JD casing has whats called Pot Metal casing very good also. I think you need to be fair about the radiator. Tell the viewers how it slides out for easy cleaning as to where The John Deere does not. The M7060 Kubota is a all around tough Tractor. The Deere is nice it's over priced But, JD has a good resale market. I would say Kubota is John Deere's biggest competitor. People buying Tractors to get the work done should shop around there are other colors besides green. Great video...

I was learning toward kubota and this helped. Definitely kubota. Universal Quick attachment!

This is the first review that sounds like a CNN report. Also I think there's a spot in the Kubota cab that could harbor rattlesnakes where the JD has a place for a mongoose to live comfortably. I was shocked I didn't here that comparison. So, I like that on the JD they have tattooed how to start instructions on the key so they never forget! Not fair to discriminate against people who need daily instructions. "Outside hydraulic front couplers -- easily grabbed from the outside." yeah by a tree. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be critical, but this was funny!!! I think they are trying to impeach the Kubota, but noticed they did paint the foot throttle Kubota orange.

I was recently hired on as part of plant operations for a local hospital. They have several tractors they use for different jobs throughout the year. One of the tractors they have is the Deere 5065e. Your video was VERY helpful. Thank you!

I can't knock Deere but we have had , Kubota's for 27 years and no problems.

All the older deeres I have worked on have all kinds of broken and cracked plastic panels! The sun really breaks down those plastic parts! The deere quick attach bucket system means you can't use the world standard skid steer attachments that are so plentiful and cheaper.

seen one of those plastic hoods deteriorate from the sun and break into pieces

Kubota is made same place they always have. John Deere isn't made in Illinois/Iowa like they were when I owned them. I now own a Kubota, just don't need the dealership hassle that JD seems to have gravitated to. The computers run so much of everything, and JD will not allow anyone else to work on them. I don't farm anymore, just rent out the land. After listening to the comments that I get from the people doing the farming is that the big tractor companies are really having a showdown over pirate software allowing end users to access their equipment computers and 'cheat the dealers' out of their monopoly. Combines were the worst complaint I heard. They have so many sensors all over them and if a wire breaks, comes unplugged or a sensor just fails, dealer has to come out and run diagnostics and then replace the part. $$$$$ Also the maintenance is such a time consuming thing that it upsets harvest times. The days of farming have changed drastically as have the farmers. Hang in there, people. Ex SD farmer Michael in Colorado.

Kubota should thank you for pointing out just how shitty the John deere is 😂

John Deere John Deere USA USA! oh, It's India now..... Mahindra Mahindra India india! Just get the Kubota.

The reason I ended up getting a Kubota was the skid steer attachments, I own so many of them and the 5055 I was looking at in my area dealer did not have it, it was special order.

This is an interesting video. I would have liked to know why you focused so much on the weight when the fluid in the tires more than compensated. I don't know if there is a benefit to having the weight in the metal vs in the tires. It would seem that they both would accomplish the same objective with negligible difference. Regardless, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to make the video. You pointed out several things that I was unaware of on both machines.

Great comparison and very informative. Could tell you favor the Deer though, LOL but great comparison. On the FEL disconnect you could argue the placement on the inside would better protect the connections, where on the Deer it is outside where it could be struck and damaged. And yes on the labeling, the Kubota could use more labeling. Nothing against the Deer, but love my Kubota. Thanks!!!

I purchased 4 acres in 1993 that was covered with 1" elm sapling and sage grass. I went to the local John Deere dealer and described the property and asked which model he would suggests. His response was when you know more come back and make your choice. From that point on if John Deere was half price I still would go home with an Orange one.

I sold Deere farm equipment for 13 years. Nice to see an honest review of Deere vs "Fred Flintstone Mobile".lol.

it's fairly easy to add weight to a standard tractor; it's almost impossible to take weight off a standard tractor.

I like the Kubota better

It would depend on the cost. Generally speaking I prefer the Kubota

Just a little green prejudiced FAIR test not

Anything under 100hp my brothers farm go Kubota they love em ,so reliable .

You missed the Deere has better fender coverage... may not seem like much but when you can cut down on clean up time and keep more mud off your steps that’s nice.

Both are good tractors. Kabota makes their own loaders and such, deere on the other hand piece meal their tractors together and charge more for the name. So in reality we know which is the better one.

sold my JD this year and got a Kubota mx5200 ill never go back deere. the JD did have a few things i liked but the Kubota feels to have more loader power and better on fuel. the JD did have tons of power and never bogged down brush cutting but overall the i hated all the plastic as it wouldn't dent but the paint would chip off if hit hard enough.

All the comparisons to Kubota. John Deere, new holland, Mahindra, Kioti, LS, Yanmar etc. I bought the Kubota.

So a JD salesman trying his best to make JD the better tractor yet the Kabota just keeps out shining

I personally do not like the plastic diesel tanks mounted low on both machines, or the the JD connectors for the lift on the outside of the frame. I use my tractor in more of a utility mode and there are many time I have seen a limb or bush hit the side of the tractor. And the cab is a no-go for me. Guess they are good if you are in an open area. Looking for my next tractor, thanks for the video.

I have had kubotas and john deere tractors, as well as new holland. In this size kubota has the best feature to price ratio and is much better in it's quality control. I have had nothing but trouble with john deere and new holland and the kubotas I've barely had any problems with them.

The hydraulic couplers and the battery is more likely to get torn off

Awesome video review! Five months ago I got myself a used 2004 John Deere X575 garden tractor with 4x4 it had 490 hours on it now it has about 545 hours on it and it came with a 54 inch mower deck and it is a awesome tractor to mow the yard with!

This is the worst tractor comparison video I have ever seen...you have just pushed everybody towards buying the Kubota lol

You pointed out the difference in weight as a salesman would when comparing tractors between competitive brands but let's not forget that base weight in a tractor is NOT a golden ticket to not use proper ballast! EVERY tractor whether it's a 25hp sub or a 400hp beast it needs proper ballast for the application.

Not sure why people test this 2 tractors when they favor one or the other. Also funny how JD dealerships always bash kubota but all the kubota dealer I deal with never bash JD. Is JD getting scared that kubota is finally making a tractor that can compete with them. I own both and both great tractors I own m7060 and a JD 5303 and I'll us the kubota any day over the he JD.

Stay away from a Kubota! Worked at Kubota dealership, over priced junk!

My take is most manufacturers make solid well built tractors that can do an honest days work. But however what I think most people overlook is the dealer support; it's more important to have a dealer that can support you then it is a tractor that looks better on paper or has more weight ect. Number one every tractor is going to be ballasted anyway unless you're literally only using it for light duty tasks such as bush hogging a field where that has relatively even terrain and doesn't need all the extra traction. Number two when the tractor does break and all of them do, will your dealer be there to help you; how good is their customer support? For me personally whether that tractor is green, orange, blue, red or other I'm gonna go with the one who has the best dealer support long after the sale and which one I don't have to drive over an hour one way to get parts and service for

Deere is made in India. They also lose almost 40% of HP at the PTO. Very misleading.

Capacities of loaders? Three point lift capacities? Fuel efficiency? Maybe explain the fact that the E series is Deere's "economy" version of the better tractors they build so they can be competitive. If he wasn't wearing that shirt, I'd have to challenge his tractor comparison skills. There really are no stand-out leaders in this sized tractor market. It really comes down to access to parts/service and color preference!

Good job representing John Deere, I have the same 5065 cab tractor model year 2020, I put approximately 800 hours a year on my tractors, I’ve had both Kubota and John Deere and I feel with my experience John Deere is

Do a fuel comparison test please .do it between a John deere and any other brand of the same hp

My mt573 is a 11 hundred pounds heavier than the deere and add 13 hundred for fluid and its much bigger and heavier for half the money. And I have had good luck with mine so far

It looked like those Kubota rear tires were loaded with "Rim Guard" beet juice. Nice comparison!

Awesome Video! My dream tractor is a 5075e, I have a 4044m now but can’t wait to upgrade it one day. I’m happy without a cab though, I’d break too much glass in the woods lol. Kubota is by far the one and only “true” competitor to Deere, but I just can’t bring myself to like any of their products enough to buy one over a Deere. Thanks for the video!

What about the Deer's internal 3 point cylinder, 20hp tractors have the same design...

Biased AF. Just compare cost, plus Deer has proprietary software, so if you ever want to replace a component in the engine you are screwed!

If i buy a 65hp tractor I don't expect only 53hp at pto the kubota 7060 pto hp is 64hp from 71hp, 6hp loss instead of 12hp loss on the Deere conveniently not mentioned. So biased

Thanks for all the good information! This gave me a lot to think about.

Will it’s pretty obvious that he is bias toward John Deere. I think the Kubota and John Deere are the 2 best for higher resale value. I am not bias between the two. They each have there pros and cons. So in the end I think there pretty equal. I like the John Deere 3 point hitch because it lifts higher than the Kubota. I hate the John Deere loader as it is way too far in front of the front tires. In the bush, it’s in the way and makes the ass end of tractor lift off the ground much easier during heavy loader work. But yeah it lifts higher. Still I’m voting for Kubota on the loader. Quick loader connect is easy access on the John Deere but looks better and tucked in on the Kubota. Also less chance to catch on a tree with the Kubota. The Kubota offers wider front tires than the John Deere. I like that the John Deere is heavier than Kubota. More traction to skid large trees. The Kubota offers cast Iron rear rims for extra weight. I don’t think the John Deere E Series offers the cast Iron rims. I much prefer the location of the battery on the Kubota. And the serial number location, like seriously!! Kubota has the 4 cylinder engine and is less noisy and less vibration that the 3 cylinder John Deere. Not sure which tractor exhaust location I like best. The Cab on the Kubota wins. See how the gears, throttle and everything else is much more at reach. And for the vents, personally I prefer them shooting on my legs and lower body than on top of my head drying out my eyes. And it’s very important for the foot throttle to be colour coded… seriously !! Oh yeah also very important to have decal on your loader arm. You never know you might get dementia and forget what the functions are. The John Deere has the planetary gears on the front wheels. I think that is better than the Kubota but not 100% sure. So in those two specific tractors I would chose the Kubota. If I would buy a tractor with over 100 hp then I think I would go with the John Deere.

BTW are those E series still be made in India?

Look at all these haters that can’t afford a John Deere talking shit.

You're biased towards John Deere

Please do a 5065e vs Mahindra 6075 review. About to buy a 6075 in cash because JD customer service is such garbage after talking to the 4 dealerships in my area. Curious before I pull the trigger.

Jd all day. It's just a more comfortable operator friendly tractor.

I’m a total nube to tractors trying to decide what to buy so no bias. This guy totally turned me off of JD. can’t stand negative sales tactics

Did you check fuel, make sure it was close comparison, that would make difference in weight too

@17:37 You will not get a "reach around" with the Deere either when you "get stuck" for that Green Paint! Comparison biased towards Deere. I have run both. I really like both machines in this video.

Your weight test is skewed. You assumed the Kubota’s tires were full. Not everyone fills them full. Filling them half way gives the best of both worlds. It adds some weight but keeps a softer ride and better fuel efficiency. Mine on my 7060 are half full for those reasons...

Made it to 18:44…as I couldn’t take any more stupidity!! Up to this point the only valid points have been the reflective triangle for on road use and the tool box however the deers toolbox is in a more accessible but reduces your visibility for that front left tire. Every single other point was either mute or an advantage to the Kubota or a bad thing to the deer. Was painful to endure…I should get a medal for making it as far as I did!! Best wishes to all!!

Tell your setup guys to cut the leveling rod before filming next time

So how do I drop 600 lbs from the JD if I dont need it or dont want it, I can add weight to either but sometimes heavier is not better, what's up with JD proprietary quick attach this is 2019 use the industry standard skid steer quick attach, and plastic cracks my Old JD has more cracks and bits missing, I can pop a dent out and or repaint to match on my kubota in a half day back to new, my deer that hood is so f n expensive forget it. Most stand out options are non standard options on a deere, dodnt show how low the 4wd shaft hangs

What military discounts do each offer? Been looking at this same HP range in JD, Kubota and MF. JD is dealer is 15 miles away, MF 1 hour, and Kubota is 2 hours (went out of business near me). Don't mind hauling them in if price is right. Also looked at Branson (nervous on long term support with them...though they have great deals), Mahindra (support worries me), and Yanmar (too far away). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kubota has kept that rear sign mount since 1984 lol, I guess no one leaves it there haha.

So at the end he doesn't mention the lift capabilities which I know why because Kabota out performs JD and has a adjustable lift rather you want height or more capacity with the moving of a pin on each side for the cylinder which JD doesn't have

It’s like watching an infomercial where the guy can’t use a q-tip and stabs himself in the ear. Orange has steering in front with guards which is bad, Green has steering on rear of axles which is good, Orange has hydraulics on inside of frame for protection which is bad, Green has hanging on the outside unprotected which is good. Kubota vents you have to turn to point them at you and the throttle pedal is black, everyone knows this is dangerous. JD has all vents to cool your head and shoulders because JD knows you won’t need to cool any balls between your legs.

Liked your review on both did a great job only thing is your biased to John Deere I own one but I am thinking of trading it in for the money you get more on other brands

Great videos. You do a very thorough job Brent, thank you. Your video on the 835r xuv was also great.

Is this guy real!...he's definitely on the JD bonus sceme .

These dealer videos are hilarious.

Put cast rears on the Kubota and fluid in both tractors and the Kubota is heavier than the Deere.

Also you did not mention the up keep using jd parts are super expensive

I purchased a kubota m4d-071 in october 2019 and thought they were close to Deere but I was badly mistaken, it would compare to a deere 5075, the steering is weak, the air is weak the loader leaks down while you are using the tractor, the loader valve has been replaced once but it's still leaking down if the hoses are disconnected from the tractor it holds so it has to be in the valve, it has 3 remotes on the back and all 3 leak down all with 150 hours

Something HUGE you didn't point out is that the jd is a base model.

Dude really puts down the 7060 lol not even trying to compare really

wrong comparison, compare the JD5070E in what country was the engine and trans built, guess what NOT USA all the domestic compact and sub compact manufactures are competing with Kubota on price and quality, to the point they sacrifice quality over price point

How often do you need to access the battery? Twice and it's probably getting replaced...Then probably See it in about 4 years

JD 5075E-74HP, 57PTO.....Kubota 7060-71HP, 64 PTO HP....how does the Deere lose 17 HP to the PTO?....I have to believe it as real and related to the JD using a little 3cyl and the Kubota using a larger 4 cyl. I also don’t like the fact the 5075E uses the same motor as the 5045E....seems JD is squeezing everything they can to get to ~70 hp....I would really like to consider JD in this class but these issues bother me. If JD used the 5090e 4cyl and detuned to 75hp I would be sold. Thanks for the side by side look.

Good job on your viedos, keep up the good work!👍

Great video! BUT the hoods are not green color all the way through, it is still painted plastic. I just bought a used 2020 and there is a small chip in the paint on the hood. I bought a touch up marker to fix it.

1800 trouble free hours on my 1996 John Deere 5300 (except for a broken roll pin in the gear shifter), so I think I’ll stay with John Deere when I upgrade in horsepower and getting an air conditioned cab.

Sorry buddy, I'll take my M7040 over that green machine everyday of the week and twice on Sunday!!! Especially at times of mechanical repairs! The JD scheme of screwing farmers on repair calls is going to bite them in the long run!!!!! Never again will I go green!

I don’t agree with the comparison at all. He shows the differences between the two which is great but he is clearly a JD fan. Pretending the battery location on the JD is the best but why wouldn’t you want it under the hood. JD has it so low that if you go through water your in trouble. Also talks about resale which is just not the case. Both great machines but when I was in the market I chose Kubota for my personal tractor. Very happy with my tractor and I will continue to own Kubota.

Is possible you make video about 5r jonh deer

So the Deere has less horsepower and more weight? Lower horsepower to weight ratio is not the combination I’m looking for in a tractor!

You forgot to subtract the weight of the wheel weights on the deere..

I just bought a 5075e in August 2018. The new holland I had was a lot better machine for handling on hills. I do like things about the john deere over the new holland but the JD has about 2 times the fuel consumption then the NH. Will i buy another JD? I'm not sure yet

The green tractor had wheel weights on the front.

Weight my M7060, it has cast rears and radial tires all around.

If you don’t know what a foot throttle is or a joystick for a loader you should keep your ass out of a tractor. The only thing better on the Deere is the heavier weight but the price difference isn’t worth how much more that Deere is going to cost you. As for the resale you better get more for the Deere because you paid a heck of a lot more for it initially compared to the Kubota.

So the additional cost of the '500 series Deere' front loader attachments will keep Deere users from aquiring 'skid steer' front loader attachments that might overload their Deere. How thoughtful of them.

I like JD but 2 thinks I don t like the front hubs I believe are better on kubota and the ac vents I like on kobota for example u got ac on top and it s cool but the legs are hot and the half of u it s undecided

The colour of their logo doesn't give it away does it ?

I bought the Kubota much better machine and it was built in the USA around where I live these India built Deere’s are having many problems
