Excellent follow-up on the Kubota. I would have to see a formal quote for both machines. It's hard to believe there would be a 10k difference when equipped the same way. There was no mention of ballast in the Kubota tires whether standard or optional. The 2 speed shift on the fly is definitely a nice feature. I have an old Ford LGT18H (1988) that has the rocker peddle for forward and reverse, so the Kubota design is proven and not unusual. I do however love the 2 peddle design of my 1026R. Great, great video series Tim and Christy!!!

Actually 10K is a bit low, the L4060 to Deere comparison was $12K last year (21) when I was shopping, and it wasn't a perfect apples to apples, nor were filled tires part of it. The Kubota had a few positives over the Deere, one being the Kubota was heavier, which is a must, and the loader, while not lifting as much weight, had a higher lift to it. It is also a bit longer in wheel base. For field work the weight and length is important, at least for me for stability.

My price on a 1025 R and a BX2680 with all the same stuff was $5200 difference. The only thing that the 1025R has that I really like is the side by side foot pedals. I hope when I am ready to buy there will be some deals.

I looked at both these tractors and I bought a Kubota for 2 main reasons. 1 the $10k price difference. 2 John Deere needs to update the 4 series cab, it’s silly that they slap the 3 series cab on the 4 series frame and charge you more. It feels small inside and looks goofy too.

One of your best comparison videos. These two tractors are extremely close. My brother has a 4066R and I have a L4760. I wish my Kubota had the rear controls for hooking up 3-point. My brother wishes he had the HST Plus feature. Of the two, we find the extra speed adjustments is a much bigger deal than the rear controls. I use that feature almost everytime I use the tractor. Using bucket, grapple, and almost evrything else. It's a BIG plus.

Then, when I saw this video with Zach, I was really happy for them to get that visibility on your channel. As far as which machine to get, I own a Kubota, but both of these machines are excellent. Having said that, I was shocked by the price difference, for a machine that is arguably identical in most ways. Great job Tim, Pete, and both dealerships for the hard work.

Tim if he goes with kubota he wants the L2272 third function kit. My dealer didn’t know it existed till I ordered it. It adds factory third function as well as in cab push button hydraulic skid steer quick connect. He can change from bucket to forks without leaving cab to unlatch anything. I purchased a L6060 in November of 2021. I’m very familiar with the grand L as I previously had a L3540. When I purchased I shopped all of them again to make sure of what I wanted. I will say the hitch assist seems like a great feature on the John Deere but if you have a quick hitch not sure how often you would use it . Fuel fill location on the kubota is superior. Cab size is noticeably better on the kubota as well as it is a 4 post cab instead of a 2 post John Deere has which adds the rear corner windows that pop out. Only complaint or change I would make on the kubota L6060 is I wish it had a economy pto lever. For the size implements your gonna run you generally don’t need all 53pto hp . Mine is thirsty as majority of my tasks are done at pto speeds and it burns a little over a gallon of fuel a hour. You will run out of weight/ traction before you run out of hp with these machines.

I installed four LED work lights I got from Amazon with brackets I made myself for up front, and a $20 radio. Added a subwoofer so it sounds good too. All said and done, was ~ $44K. The Deere was nearly $56K.

I have no regrets about the L4701, but if I were buying again, I'd strongly consider a Kioti. It's basically a Kubota at heart. I had a whole list of tractors I was going to comparison shop at various dealers, and by the time I finished looking at specs, pricing, dealer locations, and everything else, I basically walked into the Kubota dealership and said "Sell me a tractor". The dealer actually talked me out of front and rear hydraulics, and I didn't understand enough about tractors to know why I would or wouldn't want those. I wasn't overly price sensitive, and I >really< wish I had gotten those.

@bobpurs Жыл бұрын

@@JCWren No regrets here. Born and raised JD and still have Deere but couldn’t justify extra cost. Great Kioti dealer I have and been very happy.

Excellent video Tim. When I was shopping I compared the JD 4066M to the Kubota MX6000. Used a lot of Pete's logic. Couple things that swayed me was I was not at all thrilled with the Kubota pedal arrangement. Second was my local Kubota dealership is not very good and I have two excellent JD dealerships. Green did cost a bit more but well worth it as far as I am concerned.

@forceon959 Жыл бұрын

I can post on one of the forums to you, but this works. The biggest thing to compare is the dealers also. I had wanted to move up to a 60hp tractor this year. I usually go kubota but deere has a bit more lifting capacity in the front. So I started talking with my deere dealer in may of this year telling them I wanted a 4066r open cab. They were very non responsive and took them about a month of me calling to get a quote on paper. So here we are in June and I have a quote but there are some things wrong in the quote. I kept calling and emailing my salesman and took weeks to get responses and finally all ironed end of july. August rolls around and ask and ask is the order in - no not yet. No calls back nothing. So I got pretty disgusted with the dealers lack of caring about me. Talking with Tim from big tool rack after buying one of his racks he said why aren't I looking at the grand L 6060. I already like my kubota dealer and have been dealing with them 20+ years. Went in and they let me have a test ride on one that was in the shop. Something deere couldn't let me do. And then priced it all out that day on paper with a quote. Was $17,000 cheaper overall with my features and attachments I wanted. Almost apples to apples. No brainer. Canceled my deere order and now waiting for a 6060. Looks like 1st quarter 2023, fingers crossed. If deere in my area can't treat me right while buying my tractor imagine how service would go.

Great video Tim!!! If the formal quotes are anything close to those in the video, it seems like a no brainer to choose the Kubota as much as it hurts to say that. The only feature that the 4066R had that stood out is the rear fender controls. That is a significant safety feature IMO, but I don't know that it is work $9-10k. That price difference is a tough hill to climb for an individual or a business unless they are dedicated to a specific brand. It would explain why all his buddies in the same line of business are driving Orange... Having said that, it seems that I read or saw in another video that Kubota does NOT adhere to the standards/recommendations for ASABE for agricultural/turf equipment design. That reliance on 'internal' standards is probably what is influencing the lower price point in slightly lighter design in some respects. The heavier overall weight does not mean it necessarily has higher engineering tolerances. I think for that reason, despite how closely spec'd, it is never going to be a simple apple to apples comparison between the JD and Kubota.

@JCWren Жыл бұрын

I didn't have any tractor experience prior to getting the Kubota L4701HST. I can't say if the two pedal setup would be better, but I absolutely like the treadle pedal. I also very much like the treadle on the right of the transmission hump and the brakes on the left side. It's all very intuitive and comfortable. Regardless if I'm wearing tennis shoes or heavy boots, my foot doesn't get crossed up or anything in the treadle. My only real negative about the L4701 is the seat safety switch when using the forks. You just cannot see the pallet from a seated position, and if you stand up to look at it and want to creep forward, it won't let you. I'll likely put a bypass switch on it for that specific situation. I have no issue with having the seat safety switch other than with the forks, and it would be nice for it to shut off if I ever were to be thrown off :)

I looked at these exact two models when I was making my decision back in 2020. I ultimately went with the Deere because all my other equipment is Deere and wanted to maintain a great relationship with my service department. The machines are extremely similar and there was only about a three grand difference in price with the Deere being more expensive. Don’t think you can go wrong with either machine. I would take it down who’s going to provide you the best service after the sale.

@nicholascote8469 Жыл бұрын

I think talking about the maintenance schedule needed for both of these machines is an important thing to note after the sale. I may be wrong but I believe the Kubota requires more frequent maintenance intervals than the Deere which will end up offsetting the price between the two. Another thing to note is the size of the loader, Kutota's loader is larger which obstructs your view a little more than the Deere.

I went with Deere 4066R fully loaded with every option possible. Love it. Traded in my 23 year old Deere 4500.

I have loved these two videos! I myself am a Deere fan and I’m hoping that’s what he ends up deciding lol.. however I’m sure the kubota is great too. I made the mistake of going the cheap route when I was shopping for my last tractor and went with a kubota lx2610 instead of a Deere 2 r series and I honestly have regretted it ever since. The kubota is nice but having owned Deere all my life there’s big differences between the two

One thing I didn’t see mentioned, with him being in the specialty turf business. Is a skid steer ever in his future? Or any specialty loader attachments? That JDQA vs SSQA could become a factor

@TractorTimewithTim Жыл бұрын

Skid steers tear up turf. …so not at the top of his list.

Great Video Tim. I have to admit the Kubota has some features I like better than my Deere 4066R. Not that I would ever buy anything but a Deere. JD Green is just in my blood since I was kid growing up on the family farm, where we were very much Deere people when it came to tractors. IE. I think I noticed that Kubota's righthand door held itself open and I think I saw steps on both sides. However, I do really hate the Treadle peddle on Kubota. Did the Kubota offer more or less independent hydraulic options. My 4066R limits me to 2 rears independent SCVS and 3 mid/front. That something I really like about my 5Ms, is that mine both have 3 rear and 3 front SCVS all independent of each other. I am really hoping Deere Addresses that 3R/4R small cabs and limited SCVS in the next generation or they simply add E-hydro to some of the 5 Series models.

I prefer the 2-pedal but I bought a tractor with a treadle pedal because a great treadle pedal is better than the lackluster 2-pedals on the other tractors I drove.

treddle peddles suck thats all i can say i started driving with one on a 4310 22 years ago and never knew any different till a few years ago now I love the twin peddles

We sell 40 to 50 4066R each fall over here and they are all snowcab, snow contractors use them a lot and we save a lot of time in the setup because rear hydraulics, block heater, front and back lights and wipers are already there. a snow contractor will typically put a frame mounted plow on the front and a snowblower in the back or vice versa. I could send you some pictures of this setup if you want

Really enjoyed the video comparison. I have had my Kubota L4760 for a couple years and would add a couple of things to you comparison. You already covered cost, Finance rates through Kubota was Zero down 48 months at Zero % interest. Deere at the time did not offer a comparable rate. The creep feature for the 3 point on the Deere is really nice and may be essential on a cab tractor. On my open station tractor the deluxe 3 point lift arms make hook up to implements very easy. Not sure if Deere offers comparable lift arms. I was surprised by the 1055 loader capacity shown on your graphic. I have the same loader and it is very strong. I was told that 1055 refers to kilograms the loader can lift. On the Kubota the throttle button on the joystick raises RPM for improved hydraulic system flow but tractor ground speed is not affected. Not sure if that was clear in your video.

When I was looking to buy my tractor back in 2018, I really wanted to go green. I researched and test drove every brand I could find within a reasonable driving distance. I found that there really is no exact “head to head” comparison between Kubota and Deere. Their models seem to leap frog each other with each one falling between two sized of the other brand. I though the Deere 2 series would be the one for me, but it just didn’t have the capacity and capability I needed (especially with the backhoe), and over time I decided I wanted a factory cab. The Kubota Grand L series seems to fit between the 3 and 4 series Deeres, but with a much larger and nicer cab, equal or better loader options, and a more capable backhoe. I ended up with the Grand L4060, and it was both better appointed and substantially cheaper than the Deere 3 series, and WAY less money than the Deere 4 series. I’ve had the L4060 for over 4 years (and 5 summers) and have absolutely zero issues. It is a very capable, comfortable, and reliable piece of equipment, and I’m totally happy with my decision (even though it wasn’t green!)

I was waiting for this video. This comparison comes up all the time on snow removal pages. We went with a 4066 for a couple of reasons: nicer cab, faster road speed and in my case: better service. We just hit 1000 hours on ours and are still happy. If I was a homeowner I’d probably consider the kubota because of the price point but if you want your employees to be happy while doing snow removal then get the 4066r.

@countrycaretakerpropertyse7981 Жыл бұрын

Also it should be a no brainer and I’m going to get a lot of hate but the 4066 is muuuuuch better looking than the kubota. Only thing I hate about our 4066r is the windshield washer fluid fill location and the oil filter spot (when the loader arms are on)

When your in the realm of the 1025R there’s very little difference in price but, wow, there’s a big price difference as you go up the HP ladder! As I travel around my area I’m seeing more and more brands popping up (most of which are probably made by the same company just branded with different names) and I wonder what current parts supplies are, not to mention what’s going to happen three or four years down the road when these brands go out of business?

@TractorTimewithTim Жыл бұрын

Exactly! It has been several years since a slow down in the small tractor world. Wonder which brands will be shaken out when that next slowdown occurs?
