Read articles →A Kubota-selling dealer critiques how John Deere structures its own competitive comparisons online, then walks around the 4052M itself. Specific callouts include transmission feature gaps, the proprietary loader coupler, hydraulic line routing vulnerability, fixed-loader pricing, and a maintenance-interval dispute over outdated fluid specs. It runs deeper than a typical walkaround but is clearly framed from a Kubota-favorable angle. Best for shoppers who've already seen pro-Deere comparison videos and want a counter-argument.
Messick's Farm Equipment is a dealership channel selling Kubota, so the comparison framing consistently favors Kubota even as the presenter acknowledges the bias upfront.
Deere picks the 4760 because it gives them a small horsepower edge, but its transmission is more simplistic than the Kubota HST Plus equivalent, hiding feature gaps.
No, many Deere loaders are permanently attached. Making it removable with parking stands and options adds more than $900 to the machine's cost.
Deere uses hard lines routed under the floorboards near the steering cylinder, making them a vulnerable low point, while Kubota keeps valves up on a post.
No, Deere uses outdated info from the old Super UDT fluid, which has been replaced by synthetic Super UDT2 with much longer service intervals.
