KUBOTA BX23S VS JOHN DEERE 1025R HEAD TO HEAD DAY 2

Рет қаралды 3,017

Ай бұрын

In this video we finish exploring the claims made by some Kubota sales people that the BX23S will perform the same as the John Deere 1025R TLB. We continue looking into the BX23's ability to push into a pile and pull out a full bucket of material at various RPM's. We look into the Kubota's performance when it comes to hauling material in a practical application of a subcompact tractor. In addition we help first time tractor buyers understand the importance of going to a dealer to demo and test a new tractor before they buy it.

BX2380 owner here at 175h. As I commented before, I walked into a Deere dealership and was not approached in ten minutes. The Kubota dealer addressed me as I walked in. Just my experience. Looks like about $4k more for the Deere. The website is hard to figure out what you need, but the gimbal cup holder for $85 is a winner. Planting shrubs yesterday, I bumped up to 3k rpm for better loader function. I’d say watching this that it’s pretty accurate for K, but still punch the rpm a little more. The Deere seems to match up better with the Kubota compact line. It would be interesting to build two at the same price point and run a similar comparison. Given all that, the video seems to reflect what I get operating my Kubota. Have fun green guys.

Thanks for confirming the videos! I really appreciate it! Do you have a mower on your tractor?

@@EverythingGreenTractors yes, I have .8 acre and a 54” mmm. I drive through a fence gate to the back yard, but my neighbor with a K3901 can get through as well. I’ve made a few things for mine, the most complex was a 156# grapple which is a perfect match. It’s nice to switch from mower to tractor without leaving the seat. Full disclosure, I ordered a set of HydrosPlus cylinders to increase lift by 35%. Except for rocks and hard clay, mine handles most everything I need. Lift now is practically about 500#, upgrade should be around 750#. I do think Kubota detunes the BX for some reason.

I bought a used 2007 John Deere 2305 about 3 years ago. It had 400 hours on it. The loader and backhoe still had the paint on them but the mower deck had been used. It is a literal beast. I wouldn't trade it for any new sub compact or compact tractor. Around here people buy Kubota because they are close but as they say; "Nothing runs like a deer." Great comparison.

I was told a lot of untrue things about the K. Specifically that it will perform and match the R in lifting RPMs and that its maneuverability beats the R. The salesmen was also pretty sleazy and I picked up on that right away. He seemed bored to sell me a tractor. Im located inOntario Canada.

A very fair and detailed comparison. I went with Deere, not knowing this info, primarily because the nearest Deere dealer was 40 miles away while Kubota was 100 miles. Glad I made the right choice, even if it was for the wrong reason. Very happy with my 2025R.

Slagging another competitor’s product with unsupported claims is greasy. That’s why comparisons like this are great. I have to say that last year when I went looking for a sub-compact, I got quotes on the 1025R and a BX2680 and no such competitor bashing took place at either dealership. I was impressed with both salespeople and I was honestly prepared to buy a JD or a Kubota…I’d had some experience with both brands in the compact size range and liked them both. I tried them out, read and watched a gazillion reviews and educated myself on the specs. Ultimately, notwithstanding a marginally higher total price for the package I was looking for, I opted for the JD 1025R…it just felt beefier. Pretty sure I made a good choice…time will tell.

Thanks for the response! I agree not all Kubota sales people make these claims however in our local market I have heard it more than one time from my customers. I really appreciate your insights! Thanks so much!

@@EverythingGreenTractors One other thing…I got a Frontier rear mount snowblower (big area to clear and usually lots of snow here, except this year😡) and the JD twin touch pedal system vs. using my heel to reverse on the Kubota seemed to make more sense for me from an ease of use point of view.

you guys sound like me comparing Sony cameras to any other brand fanboys but the truth remains you're not buying the machine you're buying the dealership and a brand. I don't have a John Deere which would 45 miles and john Deere would not offer financing for my 15 year old business with tax returns showing income and profit in the 6 figure. I have a Kabota dealership less than 4 miles away that offer financing to my well establish business so equally doesn't matter so long as they are close especially if I'm buying the dealership, and spending 35k there's only one choice and the warranty I got from kubota covers my accidents or is supposed to? I'm still waiting on the unit as I did a lot of upgrades but I will be making a blog to see if all the promises or more to insure all promises and representations made actually come to fruition and the machine will do what I was told it would do.

Thanks for commenting! I agree the dealership relationship is extremely important. Being able to get parts and service when things break down makes a huge difference in downtime issues. Purchasing a tractor that can get the job done in nearly half the time is also important as it will reduce your labor, wear and tear and hours on the machine. The financing experience you have described has not been the experience of the businesses I work with on a regular basis. I have found John Deere financial to be an excellent partner in helping our businesses meet their needs. We offer a full line of financing products including leasing to help out partners keep their overall maintenance expenses down. John Deere Financial also offers the same type of insurance as Kubota at a fraction of the cost. Thanks so much for watching. I hope all works out for you with the Kubota. By the way I am not a fanboy😀!

No. Bad reliability and bad return on investment

@VineV-Dutch Ай бұрын

Yanmar or Massey Ferguson are the best. Best flow of hydraulica using lift and tilt at the same time. Yanmar has better warranty. Massey Ferguson has best reliability. And the engine of Yanmar is used in the JD and other brands. The Kubota starts to annoy people real fast when they use hydraulics a lot. What you want is a smooth transition tilting and lifting/lowering the bucket. The Kubota only does 1 of the two. It's difficult to find the sweet spot on the handle. Irritation will be born. JD is easy to expensive and not interchangeable with implements.

I am trying to but the Kubota doesn’t respond the same as the Deere does. Please watch the part 1 comments explained. It will help you understand what is going on better. If you own a BX23 or BX26 please make a video and show it driving through a pile and getting a full bucket of rock or dirt at 1800 rpm like the Deere does. I will post a link to your video. Thanks for commenting!

@VineV-Dutch Ай бұрын

You shouldn't push, tilt the bucket to "eat" your way through the pile. The hydraulics on both aren't good at all. Massey Ferguson and Yanmar are better tractors, if you have a dealership nearby.

@@VineV-Dutch It does not appear the Deere is struggling through any of the videos with hydraulics in any of the 14 videos we have made so far.

@EverythingGreenTractors Ай бұрын

Mainly at getting in and out of the pile. Travel time was the same. The Kubota bucket is shaped differently and spilled a bit more during travel so I went slower to keep a full load for the pile comparison. Thanks for commenting!
