I just wish John Deere would come standard with the third function. Spend all that money on a tractor and then I gotta spend another chunk of money to get the capability to run a grapple.

Its wild how my kioti does better than both of them. At a better cost

Honestly, these tractors are small. You could put an10ft bucket on the front but it’s not an advantage. Rather have smaller bucket because you can over extend a subcompact quick. Also I don’t pull my subcompact out of the garage without throttling it up. Why would you ever start working at idle totally not realistic.

Owner of a BX2380 purchased new in 2022 with 150hrs seat time. Priced out the 1025r and at that time it worked out to nearly a $10,000 price difference (Canadian dollars). Went orange and I have been extremely satisfied. No argument that the lifting capability is less than the JD. That said it’s all about learning how to operate the tractor not solely relying on just the front end loader per say. Understanding when to back up while lifting and tilting, timing movements of the tractor itself while operating the loader, bucket placement into the material pile, all makes a huge difference. Not sure if this is making sense but really understanding your specific tractor, its capabilities and using all mechanical advantages you can really make the BX sing. Definitely no regrets having gone orange.

This is bullshit. Learn how to use a fel correctly first. Watch a bunch of instructional vids, then have another attempt

It would be nice if the Kubota bucket was flat on the ground and not on an angle trying to dig into the ground when going into the crush stone pile. I never have problems with my bucket, getting full in a pile of stone, dirt, or mulch.

I rented a BX23s and yes it is a POS like that, sorry to say I got only a 1/3 of what I should have been able to get done

Also, i believe the bucket is 8 inches or so further out on tbe kubota, reducing lifting capacity

Great comparison. I noticed the Ausra sticker on the Kubota. Whereabouts in SW Michigan are you? I’m in Decatur. I have used both tractors and now own the 1025r. In my opinion, it’s no comparison. The only thing that was hard for me to justify is the price since I was getting quoted consistently about $4000 more for the Deere, so I bought used. The 3 point position lever was a huge plus too. Keep tractoring.

This is great content and how to all in your videos. New sub here just started watching today shows how these smaller compact tractors can do alot more then what they say they will. I also like that you mentioned Tractor Time With Tim, that a great channel also. Keep up the good work. Really like that grapple and backhoe setup for doing stump removal.

👍👍

QUEER DEERE, have fun paying for your parts next year when QUEER DEERE moves to Mexicxo. 200 percent tariffs. MAGA Better tell them to stay in the USA to keep Americans working.

I've used both. The 1025r is a larger and more powerful tractor. If Kubota is telling anyone they are substantially the same that is dishonest. The BX is a fine machine & certainly has it's place but it can't go head to head with a 1025r as you demonstrate.

I thought your loader comparison was very fair. Always difficult unless you are on a test stand hahah, to make it perfect, but when there is that much disparity between them, small differences don’t matter. There really is a big difference between these two machines and I have owned both of them. Hands down the Deere way outperforms the equivalent Kubota, in this class, in all respects and I love Kubotas. Nope my underwear is not green. I have had 4 Kubota’s , 2 New Holland’s and now a year 2020 1025R. I always refused to go to the green side. Till I test drove one and the dealer and they had a test area to put it through its paces. Have to say I have never had any major issues with any of the Kubotas, New Hollands or John Deere. But the 1025R punches so far above its weight class :-).

While for years and years the 10 series and the BX have been labeled sub-compact. Therefore they understandably get compared to each other. However, the 10 series is closer in size to Kubota's B2501 series more so than the BX. The B 01 series is also a sub- compact. The B2650 (now the LX10 series) is the beginning of the "compact" size just like the Deere 2 series. You should do a head to head with the Kubota B 01 series. That would be a closer match up.

14:00 Kubota makes a drive over mower deck as well… though one video said the local shop recommended the non-drive over model still.

Very impressive Team Green performance over Team Orange, have to admit! Much smoother and easier to handle the work - even with a bigger bucket.

1:40 did he say it was a “Belgian Conservation Club”?!? In the United States?

On kubota tractor, the bucket does NOT look level… looks like you go halfway into the load then hit the ground. 🙄 Hard to move the earth with only 24hp! As soon as you level out, then the bucket goes through the gravel.

“This valve won’t provide relief to the tractor” - that sentence doesn’t make any sense. No 3rd function valve provides relief. The relief valve on the loader does that. lol

I've been looking at these two tractors as well as others for several months now. I've watched many videos on multiple tractors, and I can say with some confidence that the JD is a little better with lift capacities. Possibly by a few hundred pounds. This is significate if you need that extra capacity. That being said, in other areas it appears that the tractors are very similar (with the exception of hp). I do think the Kubota's loader is much more capable than what is shown here. I know that the bucket level indicator on the Kubota is not as good as JD so it's harder to see when its level. But, on a few occasions while driving into the pile I could see that the loader was digging into the subsoil under the gravel making it much more difficult to scoop the gravel. You can even see the front of the Kubota coming off the ground when driving into the pile. In contrast, the JD was level (and even the bucket was tilted slightly up) before driving into the pile. On the one or two occasions when attempting to dig down the JD did do it but it definitely struggled more. Honestly, after everything I've watched I do think the JD is a little stronger and I would look to get it but, there is several thousand in price difference. I've been quoted from my local JD dealer for a 1023e with a belly more and loader at $25300. I'm sure the 1025r will be even more than that. The Kubota I've been quoted for with the same config at $22000. For my needs and because I have a smaller property these tractors will be working I will most like go the cheaper route to save thousands. If the JD was comparable in price, I would definitely go for it.

Great comparison video, i had a 2023 BX2380 and now have 2024 1025R, the Kubota was great but i like the JD better, yes i do feel a difference in power especially a lower RPM. Thank you for your time.

There’s nothing my 1025r can’t pick up or do that I ask it to. That kubota looks like a toy. Glad I didn’t buy that one.

Gr8 video!

My boxblade won’t stay up in the air without me physically holding the lever at the top

so some of the lifting capacity is greater on the John Deere but at that it puts limits on front axle and over all handling we change the orifices' on hydraulics on Kubota and we has huge increase in lift. Kubota playing it safe I did comparisons and in a sub compact tractor the Kubota fits places the John Deere does not also the over all frame is stronger on the Kubota. John Deere 1025R while performs well is built on a thread of failing early Owned both. John Deere dealer in our area was greedy on pricing In South western Ontario Kubota is really moving forward. some country roads farms are all showing the orange colour on small tractors.

I can make that john deere look pretty bad.Putting it up against the kubota, what a joke

d o you want to comment on J D being Woke ?????

I don’t have a dog in this fight however it looks like to me when you’re going into the pile with the Deere you go a short distance then curl your bucket some when you are not with the Kubota. You keep the Kubota flat the whole time. Not that it matters but it doesn’t look like a fair comparison. Even still it appears the Deere will raise the loader full where the Kubota will not. It seems to me the Deere is a better Tractor but just my opinion.

I have a 1023e and a black JK Sahara Jeep. Small world!

Great video. I have a 1023e with a BB2048. I just leveled a grave pad for a 40’ seacan. I need to ask you help. My 1023e has started having rear hydraulic lift trouble. Raises about 4” then sudden stop. Lowers fine. Then if I try a bunch of times, it will lift to full height. I have check everything the internet suggests. Do you think it could be hydraulic filter and screen needs cleaning? Thnx. David. Looking forward to watching your other videos

You getting my message? Please respond…..please don’t hide….

Any home, please respond to my message 😢😅??

As a new BX owner, I can confirm your experience... one main difference between the tractors is the BX has a Skid Loader arm, which is one reason the capacity is different. The arm design is for adding forks and other accessories, but it sacrifices loader capacity. If you had a BX without this feature, you might see a different experience.

I just picked up my 1025R a month ago. Could. You possibly do a video and/or explain how to remove the backhoe and put on the PTO brackets/mounting points. I have seen plenty of videos removing the backhoe but I am having trouble finding someone to show how to put on the brackets after the backhoe has been removed. Like if I wanted to swap my backhoe and use a brush hog or box blade. I'm new to tractor life, hope I explained that right.

Have you heard anything about John Deere going Woke? Please let me know. Just wanted to know if I will buy any of JD products any more!!!

have you heard that John Deere has gone woke , if so will never buy their tractor again.... let me know what you find out,.........................

I have a 1025r and does a great job.. But I heard John Deere has gone woke.Wow, If so I will never buy their products again.let me know if you find out this woke deal… Tractor supply back down…

I heard that John Deere has gone woke !!! If so l will never buy there products again!!!! Let me know what you think or know……😮

I dont know how long the pile set there but to the extent that the pile was compacted due to weight of materials on top or rain settling etc, the 2nd tractor would always have an easier time with a freshly fluffed area of the pile previously dug by the first tractor. I originally thought the pile was big enough that you were going to do one side with each tractor but that didnt happen.

Have you heard that John Deere went woke??? Let me know… of so , will never buy any more John Deere products again, if true..

Kioti 2220 beats them both i wouldn’t buy either one after buying the Kioti

Good stuff buddy 👍 👏 👌

At 1:40”, yo have the Kubota digging down into mud while the deer’s bucket was sliding on the gravel filling up and curling back. So no fair comparison to start with. Moreover, compare the BX 23S to JD 2023e. Come on !!!

At the 2:45 mark in the video I noticed when you push into the pill you curl the bucket back on the JD but on the Kubota you try to lift the loader and not curl back. I think the angle of the buckets going into the pile are different? I think most folks like a brand and at the end of the day are fortunate to have what they have....both great Sub-Compact tractors

I got a backhoe with my 1025r also. It’s been great for digging. Theres always a digging job around the corner and great about owning the backhoe I could use it whenever I want. Backhoe does great as rear ballast for loader work, does better than ballast box I got. Don’t even use the ballast box it’s only used now storing chains in the shed.

👍 thanks for the video!

You need to fine tune any tractor you get…. They do intentionally so you spend more money…. Look into the hydraulics… most of your tractors have to much going to the steering get a controllable hydraulics valve… ok just watch tractor time with Tim …… you’ll find out everything you need or very close to it…..

Might be a operator probelm and im all john deere
