Read articles →This is a manufacturer-produced comparison focused narrowly on operator comfort and ergonomics between the 1025R (1 Family) and Kubota BX, not performance or price. It walks through platform step-through design, floor mat quality, Deluxe suspension seat adjustability, tilt steering, twin touch foot pedals versus Kubota's heel-toe design, 12-volt outlet placement, and wheelbase dimensions. Useful for shoppers weighing seat time and controls, but it's one-sided and skips power, attachments, and pricing.
Produced by John Deere itself, so expect a one-sided comparison favoring the 1025R over the Kubota BX.
The 1025R Deluxe suspension seat has movable armrests adjustable without tools and a centered lever for easy fore-aft adjustment, while the Kubota BX armrests require an Allen wrench to adjust.
Yes, the 1 Family features tilt steering so the operator can position the wheel for a natural arm position, while the Kubota BX steering wheel is fixed and cannot tilt.
The 1 Family wheelbase is 47 inches wide by 57 inches long, compared to the Kubota BX at 44.5 inches wide by 55.1 inches long, giving more stability.
The 1 Family's 12-volt outlet is integrated into the right-hand console near a storage box, while the Kubota BX outlet is under the seat requiring a long cord stretch.
