Read articles →A spec-by-spec comparison of the John Deere 2032R/2038R against the Kubota B2650/B3350 and newer LX2610/LX3310, covering engines, transmissions, loader lift height and capacity, hydraulic connections, bucket attachment costs, tire sizes, wheel weights, and work lights, with actual numbers given throughout. No driving footage; it's a side-by-side walkaround with narration. Ends with a clear brand preference and reasoning. Best for shoppers actively cross-shopping these two lines and wanting a structured breakdown before visiting a dealer.
Good Works Tractors is a tractor attachment dealer and used-tractor seller, so while the comparison includes genuine critique, the channel has a commercial interest in the tractor accessory market.
The John Deere has about 1,200 pounds lift capacity, while the Kubotas range from 1,070 to 1,150 pounds, a difference the narrator calls almost a rounding error.
Yes, the newer Kubota LX Series, including the 2610 and 3310, has a single point hydraulic connection, so you don't disconnect four couplers to remove the loader.
No, the dealer told the narrator rear wheel weights are not an option on the LX3310, and the B2650 shown has no holes for them either, unlike John Deere wheels.
He says he would go with a Kubota, citing the three-range hydro transmission and factory cab with air conditioning, despite disliking the treadle pedal.
