Phil, as usual, thanks for the video! It's nice to be able to show off each tractor side by side to give a potential buyer more information. As you said, go out and try both and make your own decision. It will be hard to get access to try this much work but it will help if nothing else to come up with a list of questions or concerns. I look forward to a video showing taking the loader on and off if you have one in the works. I had issues with my Kubota BX23S loader stand. While I liked the Kubota stand because it made it easy to use a dolly cart to roll the loader around in storage I found it fragile and very easy to bend. This is going to come down to experience and following the proper procedure but for a newer operator watch out and learn how to do it correctly right away! Neither my Kubota or JD Dealer demoed taking any attachments on or off! They just wanted to have you drive the tractor around the parking lot. The Deere stand is not very compatible with dolly carts but it sure is simple and easy to use and in my opinion a little more stout. Surprisingly I also really like the JD quick attach. I never found a use for the SSQA on the BX other than for my bucket. I felt most SSQA attachments were too big or heavy for the BX. I get the idea of having universal compatibility with other manufactures. I do miss my Kubota snow blower. The K-Connect system was awesome and I feel the snow blowers available are superior to the John Deere models. I now have a very expensive JD HD commercial model snow blower with a European style front three point hitch which is nice but probably overkill. I love the drive over mower deck and load-n-go feature. The JD loader is super easy to take on and off and it feels more capable. I do prefer the JD forward and reverse foot pedals over the treadle pedal. I miss my Kubota gas gauge. I also feel the Kubota work platform felt slightly larger? I never measured it but it feels more open to me. I'm not a fan of the new JD parking brake lever. You catch it a lot getting on and off and I've found that the lever doesn't like to stay off. It has a tendency to want to click on slightly. It was a bit of an adjustment getting use to switching to neutral all the time on the JD. I can't say I ever had an issue on the Kubota not doing that and while not as safe I prefer that! Thanks again for the videos!
Great comments! Thanks so much for sharing. I have to say I agree with you on the new parking brake it can be annoying and some of my customers with arthritis who pull it all of the way up have a hard time releasing it. I will make a video comparison on the loader removals. Thanks again!
Not that it matters but from what I see the Kubota was digging down while the Deere was not for the 10&20 second test. The second test looked better. Very interesting test, thanks. I own an old BX 2200 without a loader and I know it is not a drive over deck but I replaced the spindle covers with heavier gauge covers and drive right up now. Still not as nice as the Deere but is no where near as bad as it used to be (what you showed on this video). I can tell you as well after borrowing my neighbors Deere that the cut quality is fantastic on the deer and average on the Kubota
Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes that was an issue I experienced at all rpms which forced me be more deliberate with how I approached the pile. I believe Deere’s experience with over 100 years of working with tractors is why the Deere does not spin out as much as the Kubota does. Thanks for watching!
Hi sorry this has been my busy season. I have a video coming but they are doing well in some spots and not so well where I had to drain the pool! Video soon!
I will see what I can do! I checked we don’t have a used one in stock but when we do I will check. Now the small frame 2025R matched more with the B2601HSD. But I can match the 2032R against the LX3301. We also have the 3025E which we can compare with the LX2620
I agree the BX23S you have to unlock spin around and lock in place to face the rear. This is such a pain there are videos of guys that are keeping the seat facing forward while they work on the backhoe leaning against the backrest of the sear to work the controls. Deeres is fast and easy!
Hi Bill Gates, I am working with a friend of mine to get a comparison video going soon! From what I know already, lifting capacity is similar, and the Kioti has better drive than the Kubota, but it still has a smaller bucket, and it does not have the drive over mower deck, or the integrated quick park loader. If you have a Kioti please make a video and share. By the way, I use Windows at work, but all my videos are made with my Iphone and Mac Pro! Thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t buy another John Deere ever again. Customer service is piss poor. Quality of Deere is a joke. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE A JOHN DEERE PRODUCT, CRAP SERVICE, CRAP EQUIPMENT
This is the best comment ever! Obviously you are passionate about your tractor choice which is…? After purchasing a John Deere model…? I would love to hear more about your back story!
Thanks Phil!
Very impressive Team Green performance over Team Orange, have to admit! Much smoother and easier to handle the work - even with a bigger bucket.

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.
Good video phil
Sorry it took so long to get back to you I have been very busy this summer. Thanks so much!

How are the sunflowers doing?
Hi sorry this has been my busy season. I have a video coming but they are doing well in some spots and not so well where I had to drain the pool! Video soon!
I have a 2025r. Chose it over B2601. Hated the treadle peddle.
Thanks for sharing! That is a common complaint I hear about the Kubota! Thanks for watching!
I'd love a comparison of the LX and the 2R
I will see what I can do! I checked we don’t have a used one in stock but when we do I will check. Now the small frame 2025R matched more with the B2601HSD. But I can match the 2032R against the LX3301. We also have the 3025E which we can compare with the LX2620

One comparison not mentioned. The seats. Maybe not the same as that machine but the BX rotator seat for backhoe models feels terrible.
I agree the BX23S you have to unlock spin around and lock in place to face the rear. This is such a pain there are videos of guys that are keeping the seat facing forward while they work on the backhoe leaning against the backrest of the sear to work the controls. Deeres is fast and easy!

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