Read articles →A dealership-produced spec comparison that runs point-by-point through roughly a dozen features, PTO horsepower, HST ranges, hydraulic flow, loader lift capacity and quick-attach system, three-point capacity, serviceability, and operator comfort items like seat and joystick placement, always framing Bobcat as the winner. There's no hands-on operation or pricing shown. Useful for shoppers wanting a quick feature-by-feature rundown, but the one-sided framing means John Deere buyers should seek a neutral source.
White Star Machinery is a dealership channel selling Bobcat equipment, so every comparison point in the video is framed to favor the Bobcat CT2025.
The Bobcat has 6.9 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow while the John Deere has only 5.3, meaning the John Deere has 30% less flow to operate the loader and backhoe.
The Bobcat has a one-piece hood with spring assist for easy access to the air cleaner and battery, while the John Deere requires removing a four-piece hood and sides.
The Bobcat uses a two-lever skid steer quick attach that has become the industry standard, while the John Deere holds the bucket on with two lynch pins near the ground.
The Bobcat loader is quick on and off, you put down two stands, pull two pins, and remove it in moments, while the John Deere loader must be disassembled to remove.
