Read articles →A dealership salesperson standing beside a live John Deere 5100E compares it verbally to a Kubota M5-111 shown only in a photo. Talking points hit weight advantage (8,150 lbs), automatic DPF regen vs. manual on the Kubota, cab ergonomics, and basic specs like 100 hp and four-cylinder engine. It's a brief, surface-level pitch with no hands-on operation. Best for shoppers wanting a quick brand-slanted overview before doing deeper research.
Posted by the Shoppa's John Deere dealership channel, so the comparison is framed entirely from a pro-John Deere sales perspective.
The 5100E is over half a ton heavier at 8,150 pounds, giving more stability on rough terrain and when pulling attachments.
No, the 5100E regen process is automatic and the operator won't even notice it happening, unlike the Kubota which requires manual regen.
No, the sunroof is standard on the Kubota M5-111 but is only an upgrade feature on the John Deere 5100E.
It has 100 horsepower, a four-cylinder engine, and power steering, and is ready for attachments like cutters, balers, or blades.
