Read articles →This is the first episode of an 8-part head-to-head series pitting the John Deere 1025R against the Kubota BX, focusing entirely on three-point hitch performance. The host takes actual measurements, lift height, lower depth, and lift capacity with real weight, then runs a tiller on both machines outdoors. He discloses a subsidized rental relationship with a local Deere dealer and personally owns the Deere, but consistently flags where results are objective versus opinion. Best for shoppers who want methodical, numbers-based comparisons rather than a quick spec rundown.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, with a disclosed subsidized rental arrangement with a John Deere dealer and a personal preference for the Deere 1025R, biases he openly acknowledges throughout.
In this test the Kubota lifted about 200 pounds more than the Deere, and it also lifted higher and lowered deeper at the measured points.
No. The host notes a lack of position control on the Kubota, calling it a severe limitation after using it for years on his Deere.
Yes. The Deere's stabilizers are on the outside of the arms, while the Kubota's are on the inside, which affects attaching and removing implements.
