Every data point favors the Deere. Shoppers cross-shopping these two models will find concrete figures here, but should weigh the source before trusting the framing.
Posted by the Everglades Equipment Group channel, which appears to be a John Deere dealership, expect a sales-oriented presentation that argues exclusively in favor of the John Deere 5055E.
The 5055E can lift a ton and a half with no problem lifting or steering, while the MX5200 runs out of hydraulic power and loses steering at 1,800 pounds.
The 5E gets 540 PTO speed at 1600 RPMs using EPTO, while the Kubota needs 2700 RPMs for the same PTO speed, cutting fuel costs up to 30 percent.
In the first 500 hours, the Kubota MX clutch needs adjusting six times compared to just twice on the John Deere 5E.
The 5E has steering components behind the big front axle, protected from hidden obstructions, while Kubota puts its steering components upfront where they take a beating.
