I use my 4720 for so many things, mowing, snow plowing with an 8' snow pusher, snow blowing with a 3 point blower, grading with a 9' blade, all kinds of front loader work including a pallet fork. I also run farm implements like grain bag unloaders and grain augers. It would be nice to have a tractor that fits in between the 4720 and my 320 horse 8320R, but for most of my light work it is great. A bigger fuel tank would be nice.
@@mtgraingrower we got rid of our deere tractor and traded in on a case because kubotas were sold out so kubota dealer gave us same deal on kubota wich was good deeres are rediclas $82,000 for small compact tractopr wich why were glad we gave up dealing with deere dealer gone kubota and case
It's your choice. Which do you like more? I've never been on either one so I have no opinion. I have a 1025R but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like another make. It was more of an impulse buy when my wife gave the nod to purchase a tractor. John Deere just seemed like the way to go but knowing what I know now, I'd probably look more closely at the Kubota since that's the only other choice near me. Coke-Pepsi. Chevy-Ford. Mary Ann-Ginger. Mary Ann!
@@GoodWorksTractors Was reading some comments here, I know it's human nature, but it still amazes me how many people are addicted to color or name or brand versus actual functionality for the value. SO....maybe the real answer.... A TRACTOR PULL...winner stays loser goes bye bye.....hahahahha, JD is already handicapped by tire type and likely HP to the dives (gears vs hydraulics) and weight....so while the answer seems like a foregone conclusion, maybe for a FUN and likely BIG VIEWS video, make it a Green V ORange RUMBLE!!!!!
I have the MX6000 and agree with everything you say. I am a tractor newbie and the comfort of the cab and the hydrostatic treadle pedal allows me to maintain my mile long, old, driveway, mow, and grade drainage. We have bought an air ride seat (aftermarket) which only requires a elec jumper kit which Kubota provides.
I’d keep the Kubota. My Aunt and Uncle have been dealing Kubota for many many years. The Japanese engineers used to come and see my dad every year for his information about how the designs were working out. Dad was a very capable mechanic who was very impressed by how polite the Japanese people were. Even the fact that most of them had a good bit of problems with our version of English, didn’t keep them from bonding over the mechanics of ease of operation and maintenance. During the summer heat anything that had dad in the shade and out of the hayfield was a blessing. Those early tractors were extremely reliable but a son of a biscuit to work on. Everything was so much closer together than the Case, New Holland, and International tractors that everyone was used to.
Good Video and I think you are making a good decision with hanging on to the Kubota, I understand the feeling you are getting in reference to the quality aspect of the tractor....I went through 5 different Utility tractors in 4 years before I Bought my Kubota. after 3 Years now and still making it mine so to say... I still feel It's the best choice out there.
I just ordered one (yet to arrive) and was able to upgrade to an air ride seat. Also, it already has R14 tires which look to be great for yard work. The fuel tank holds 23.8 gallons which should keep you moving for awhile. In addition to feeding hay bales and property maintenance, I’m planning to use for a small hay operation. I really like the 511 grill guard. 😊
Creeper gear on my Kioti RX7320 really helps for tight quarters use with the power shuttle gear. An HST would be nice, but the hook-up with gear is just sooo solid. I am happy with my machine. I will probably get a smaller 40hp hst open station for my wifes garden use when the big cab utility machine is paid off.
Hey Corey good morning. I agree with what you said. Get what you want(brand) with as much as you can(standard equipment) to start with that fits your size property. And then equip it with the attachments that makes since for you and property. I found exactly what I wanted(older Ford 1520 4x4) yes on purpose with the quick attach backhoe but pinned on loader, like you have always said up front so it don't cost you a bundle later. Done this before I knew you and channel. Then first attachment I got was a post hole digger. Because I was putting up fence. Then I got a 3 point Boom Pole. To move engines around. Then I got with you the Speeco quick hitch. Common everyone needs one these. Now when I can I will get the SSQA assembly to convert my bucket to quick attach. Got the skill and tools to do that. As far as tires. Mine came with the Ag tires and I knew it would tear up my yard, so I found another whole set of factory Turf tires and rims and put on. Still have the Ag tires on the rims to just swap out when needed. With Backhoe on I can lift all tires off the ground to change. And of course I had to get some Goodworkstractor swag. Future upgrades: Summit hydraulics front and rear. And a whole lot more attachments going threw you that you have or using the Goodworkstractor discount where needed. Why? Because of everything you said at the end of this video. Side note: Have you heard of or going to the Ft Wayne tractor SHOw at the Ft Wayne Memorial Colasium. It's starts today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. They do have the smaller tractors and attachments. Might be good for you to go and and collaborate with company's to work with. Hey camera man Chris: You always do a great! job. O.k. I went on probably WAY to much here. Maybe it was all the coffee in the Goodworkstractor mug. Lol!
Such a nice machine but interesting the bigger tractors don't have HST. When I was a kid, our big combine was hydro. Don't think I see myself with anything but hydro!!!
You have cvt as an option available for most row crop frame tractors but hydro is not desirable. They do a lot more constant speed work than loader work which is the only time a hydro is desirable. The fuel economy and price penalty would not be welcomed
For the lifting capacity, you have 3 options on this tractor. If you look on the main frame by the door, the lift cylinder has 2 pin option. If you pin it in the lower position, you get less lift height, but more capacity. Just the opposite in the upper pin hole.
Good review: We just downsized to one piece of equipment yet wanted to keep using the many versatile attachments on hand. Guess everything is a compromise to a point, yet for us a cabbed MX6000 fit the bill. Having had a lifetime of tractors and experience, this one keeps us smiling. Keep up the good work, know you're appreciated.
I was able to upgrade to an air ride seat when I purchased my M4 in 2022. One thing I'd note is the blue remote has a float mode, so when you're running something like a batwing mower it can float the terrain without stressing the mower hydraulics out. The green remote will detent in each direction until it gets resistance, I'm not sure if that would allow for continuous flow or not.
I'm a Kubota man and the m4 is the next upgrade I would look at but that massey 4707 is calling me. You should see if you can get a demo unit to see how it stacks up to the m4
I’ve always been a New Holland & Case guy and own 10ea tractors from 150hp down to 33hp hydros. Then I tried/tested a AGCO/ Massey Ferguson 5711 Dyna4 110hp machine. Simply put I was overwhelmed with the quality and feature rich machine that basically has everything standard on it…. The 16 x 16 full true power shift transmission is the smoothest one I’ve ever operated in my 45 years of farming & equipment operation. The 4707 Massey with the Dyna 2 transmission is a 24 x 24 speed and can be clutched with a button on the shifter. Throw in brake to neutral, air ride seat, three SCVs and shock dampening for the loader & three point hitch loads and you find out quickly that AGCO is the leader these days in quality, service, standard features included and pricing which is between CNH & Deere. Of all my machines the Massey is my favorite tractor hands down of all the equipment I own……. Courtney really does need to give a 4707 Dyna2 tractor a test drive.
I can't wait to see what all you do. I don't blame you for keeping it .seems like that it is a good fit for you at this time Hope you have a blessed week
Glad you are going to keep your Kubota. Sorry to hear about all the issues but little by little you will get it were you want it. Thanks for the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
I have a M7040 and know friends with M7060's. I don't understand why the M4-071 has the same engine but has 4 to 5 less pto hp. I was told by a dealer I would be disappointed with the power of I was use to a 7040 or 7060.
Great following you as some day I hope to upgrade soon from my modified shuttle shift Cub Cadet 7360SS headed cab version I've had for 22 years, like you say its all about ones needs as for me with 20 acres, a saw mill and 1/4 mile dirt road to maintain, lots of big boulders in the ground in 4 seasons. All I know is need more HP and loader lift capacity, at 74 it will be my last tractor to enjoy doing what I like most.
Well Courtney I have disagree with your overall assessment of the BX as being junk. I’ll agree with you that Kubota’s fuel filter solution is engineered terrible. Their grille guard is lacking quality. I have had too make after market updates which when completed would make it a great subcompact. The loader has enabled me to tackle a number of jobs and complete that otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I should mention that I own a Bx2380 and the engine is a little power house. I blow snow with it in the winter using a 60” rear snow blower & it handles it no problem. The unfortunate downside is the treadle pedal. It was difficult for me to get used too but now I have done a pretty good job of mastering it.
@@GoodWorksTractors Yes I have to come clean, this fall I was going to trade it off for J.D. 1025 R with a Backhoe. I must say John Deere builds things right out of the gate using craftsmanship & common sense. It’s like the Engineers must own one of these!!! 😎😂
@@GoodWorksTractors I know the bx and the 1025 are the same class of tractor but I think we could all benefit from seeing the kubota lineup next to the John Deere lineup. The 1 series will out perform the bx in almost every metric, but it’s a physically much bigger machine. The 1 series sits physically between a bx and a b in size but gets out up against a bx. It would likely not out perform a B. Does that make sense?
Personally I would hang on to the M4. I just took delivery of an M6060 and could not be happier. It had 68 hours on it and had been traded into a JD dealership. The sales manager had some great incentives to go with a JD but I have been running orange equipment since the 80's. It came with two rear remotes and two front remotes. You just briefly mention the hydraulic top link and I think that is a great improvement. I mainly do grader work and installation of crushed limestone driveways where I need to adjust cut angle frequently on my box blade and the hydraulic top link would be a huge time saver. Again, thanks for all of the great info.
The Grand L series also gas the fuel cap on the floor of the cab, which is a lot easier to handle than a fender or the hood of the engine. The only thing that I did like our Grand L was that R14 tires were available. We had to settle for R4 tires. I like them better than the tractor tires as they don't tear up the ground as much, and they are wider. With Rim Guard in them, each R4 tire has 503 pounds of ballast. Very important when lifting a hay bale!
What is your opinion on the Kubota bx1880? I just bought one a couple months ago and I absolutely love it it does everything I need it to. If you don’t mind me asking why did you say the bx was junk lol. Keep up the good work I absolutely love your videos.
Good video Courtney! I have a "working" yard so the R1 tires are not a major concern but I'm careful about avoiding sharp turns and 4wd on the lawn as it will tear up some turf. In the field though, the R1's can't be beat...gotta have them hands down. You might look into the Kubota Shockless Ride accumulator for the loader. I really love mine!
I work for kubota. We have one on our lot. I own a kioti rx7320. Pretty much comparable machine . The kioti has 2 more hp is all . And cost is 15% less. But same features. One thing kioti doesnt offer is a big bucket. Unlike kubota . Which is a major turn on for trading mine in for the kubota m4-071. We have all the rear remotes and third functions and hydro quick attach couplar kits in stock . I have yet to try one. But if i get to build my own at dealer cost for my own land. I sure will if the numbers come back good for resale on the kioti rx7320
As a M4D owner I concur it’s a great tractor. Would love to see a loader based post hole digger. I’ve seen a few hydraulic versions but no idea if they actually work well. Like it for posts but want an option to dig big holes for tres and landscapes.
accully pretty easy to convert a 3 point hitch post hole digger into loader mount all is need is hydrulic gear box and hoses and frame that makes a bale spear and add gear box onto the bale spear frame and you have a loader mount post hol digger wich pretty easy project ive done it on a m8540
@@michaelmactavish4445 Good idea. Will have to do the cost difference between parts and buying a dedicated hydraulic unit. I don’t have a 3PT post hole digger so that needs to be factored in.
The Kubota m-series is a whole nother level. To me it's a farm tractor, pulling a hay bailor, lifting big round bails and so on. I think they also have a mx series that is in-between the m-series and the l-series. It's bigger than a l6060 in weight and lifting capacity and I believe the mx can come with hydrostatic.
Nice summary ! I also own a utility tractor (It's Blue) and can relate to the limitations you mentioned but it can be very useful for small farm uses. Wondering if you have tried to use your HD stump bucket with this tractor ? Wondering how the stump bucket would be to use with the power reverser transmission rather than a hydrostat ?
I just sold my 2021 M7060 with 270 hours on it. The hydraulics were extremely slow, loader was one-way/sloppy and the build quality over the last few years has gone down the toilet. Im tired of Kubota switching and getting rid of models/options and then charging me insane money for service parts. Ive bought multiple new Kubota products and every time i buy one they get worse.
A tractor is really a niche fit item, including the subcompact series tractors. both green and orange are both pretty good quality and each has its shortcomings. The one major issue I have with Deere is the proprietary quick attach. It simply isn’t popular in the aftermarket manufacturing field where you too have found some fantastic pieces of equipment. Just consider how much less business you would have if you didn’t handle SSQA items. Sure green can be adapted, but ask yourself who adapts to the JDQA? I am not sure anyone even manufactures such an adapter. That would leave you as just another green dealer competing with other green dealers. Glad to see you reconsiders selling. Make it what you want.
There's only one thing that I may have done differently, and that's a cab. That said, 1025Rs with cabs are like hen's teeth on the used market, and when they do come up, you're gonna pay. I got a great deal on the package I bought, and to be perfectly fair, I'd have likely done some significant damage to the cab in the process of clearing my land. The one thing I should have done, as soon as I bought Joan, is get her fitted with R1s, or maybe try to stuff some R2s under her fenders. Our icky sticky sandy clay makes a joke of traction.
Morning enjoying a morning coffee and watching your video. I guess you’ll have to change your channel name to “ Good Works Orange Tractor”🤣 oh and my BX2380 shed a tear when it was called junk😉
I don’t know i came from a 3025e and went to a 2022 2025R and am pretty happy with it. I wouldn’t say it’s junk but wondering what your train of thought on why you think it’s junk ?
I'm interested in knowing what tasks you need one of your larger tractors for that you can't do with the Summit TX25H. BTW - how many utility tractors do you own? I'm guessing it is more than the number of chairs in my dining room.
Hello, enjoy your videos. They are awesome tractors! I’m pretty sure my air ride seat is just for a M5 tractor. Came from the dealer and was a great upgrade and had a good price. Hardest part was putting it thru the back window. Plug and play from the factory:) have a good one!
I’m quite sure the tens of thousands of Kubota BX owners disagree with your assessment of their tractors being junk. The reality is, the 10 series John Deere is more in line with the Kubota B 2601 series. The BX series is more in its own size class regardless of how they are labeled. (I don’t know if there are other brands with models as small as the BX.) However, you might want to search RU-vid for videos of BX tractors and the amazing amount of work they do for such a small platform. I believe most equipment rental companies that offer small compact tractors for rent, have the BX series. The rental companies need reliable tough equipment, you know, because people are easy on rentals…
Instead of the hammer to lock down the hydraulics, I’d try out something like some 90 degree locking pliers. Still not optimal, but might be a bit less clunky. 🙂
Wow right out of the gate the 2025R gets some smack talk... lol. Whyeverybodyalwayspickingonme... Good video, glad to see your keeping the Kubota for another year.
@Good Works Tractors LOL, you and your bro have nothing to worry about having a second dinner! I eat a second dinner and bam, instant 5 lbs., at least, gained! 😂 You and your bro have the good genes! 😁
If I had the cash, the M4 would be one that I would pick up. It seems to be a nice size with good capability that would work well on our 80 acres. Yet, I will be thankful for what I have (L3560HSTC) and work with it till the bank account and economy both recover.
@@GoodWorksTractors Sorry not chattering per say but the loud whine coming from the hydraulics when running. Its a hardline that runs beside/on the trans. JD has a soft line you can buy that stops the noise
Brand new tractors are sold from dealers. If you have a tractor you bought recently and want to sell, then that is a like new tractor and I'd sell it on Facebook Marketplace, Craiglist, TractorHouse, or similar.
Good summary…I have a MX open station with basic gear drive which fit my needs. Biggest need was cost but don’t mind the old style clutch. I personally couldn’t stand the hydro whine. I will say on the MX they call it a shuttle, but whoever marketed that hasn’t operated a true shuttle system…or…they lied. I knew that going in as dealer told me it’s more of a shuffle than shuttle. He explained you shuffle those feet to the clutch, come to a stop and shift into reverse. Totally different from the true shuttle as the M model.
That would be so much overkill for 99% of the use cases I have. That said, if I had a bunch of extra cash on hand I would buy it. Really for you I would probably say sell it. You have other equipment for work and home. Why keep it?
Those hydrostatic transmission tractors are just absolute junk to me. You can't do anything with them. I like a good gear driven transmission with a good clutch. Whether power reverser or manual shift. Just what I grew up with. I have used the hydros from time to time. Not the machine that a gear boxed tractor is.
When I went to buy my tractor I brought my dear, sweet wife with me…. The dealer had a Kubota l series, a John Deere 970 and a smaller Massey. The Massey was smaller than I wanted, the Kubota had been ridden hard and put away wet, the JD was fairly low hours and in surprising good shape and would fill my needs. My wife still hasn’t forgiven me for buying the JD… why you may ask… she liked the RED ONE! For a peaceful life, tractor color is important! Lol By the way, your videos are great.
I have been asking you if you would sell me that tractor for a long time now. You know you want to replace it with a green tractor let's make a deal My green tractor for your orange tractor
