Read articles →This is a John Deere-produced comparison video pitting the 5055E against the Kubota MX 5200, covering specific claims: hood durability, three-point and front hydraulic lift capacity (1.5 tons), transmission options including the power reverser, steering component placement, ePTO fuel savings, and maintenance intervals like clutch and brake adjustments over 500 hours. It's a spec-and-claims comparison, not hands-on footage, best for shoppers cross-shopping these two models before a test drive.
Produced by John Deere's own channel, so expect a one-sided comparison favoring the 5E over the Kubota MX.
The 5055E can lift a ton and a half with its three-point hitch and handle 1800 pounds up front without losing steering, while the Kubota MX 5200 runs out of hydraulic power and loses steering under the same loads.
On 5E tractors with a power reverser, ePTO lets you throttle back to 1600 RPMs for a 540 PTO speed, versus 2700 RPMs needed on the Kubota MX, cutting fuel costs up to 30 percent.
In the first 500 hours, the Kubota MX needs clutch adjustments six times and brake adjustments five times, while the 5055E needs clutch adjustments only twice and no brake adjustments since it has hydraulic brakes.
The 5055E has steering components behind the front axle, protected from obstructions, while the Kubota MX puts steering components up front where they are vulnerable to hidden trouble.
