JOHN DEERE ISN'T WINNING ANY MORE... 

…..so…… just going to not mention how any of us that desire more loader lift capacity do so by turning a screw?

@@DougAlesUSA Without knowing factory specifications and a calibrated pressure gauge, I'd not recommend adjusting pressures. As a side bar, unless you know what you're doing, have factory specifications AND have enough ballast...You get where I'm going with this?

@@timstapp374 sadly my reply with details get deleted. Factory maintence manual shows the manufacturer pressure spec, companies such as boltonhooks sell calibrated gauges, this data is regularly discussed at tractor discussion groups.

@@timstapp374 I cant seem to reply with details without my comment disappearing. I can answer but it’s soon gone.

@@happyjohn8256 Load Match and Motion Match never got touched in any of my 3r or 4r tractors. Who cares. Kioti has a very nice cab. My problem with Deere is that their prices are absolutely insane. If they are going to be 20-40% more, then that better come with a whole lotta extra benefits. My Deere dealers never have parts, they don’t have good techs anymore, long turn around times, and premium prices and parts and labor. Turns out plenty of people will buy tractors other than Deere or Kubota. Kioti is quality.

Union labor.

Hope you do a better job than the kioti dealers here because I'll never ever consider that brand again as long as I live

Kiot E?

when you think about it being $67/hr for the previous owner, it isn't that bad. I know my F745 mower, traded in 2008 with 180 hrs ended up being $20/hr in depreciation. I bought a 3520 that I've put 180 hrs on and it's actually gone up about $15k in value from what I paid for it 4+ years ago.

@@courtneyanderson2293 except we got it from our local dealer, and I have no idea what they gave the original owner for it.

Watch the belly mower on those. The gearbox has a shit designer and leaks all the oil out and burns up every two years or so. Watch that bottom seal. $300 if you rebuild it.

Hey!!! Great to see your name pop up. Hope life is treating you well!

Thanks Chris!

How tall are you?? I am 6'4" and when sitting at a standard seat height. The closer the knee comes to your chest when seated, the harder it is to rock the ankle. I can actually get leg cramps from rocking the peddle while mowing or moving dirt where lots of forward/reverse is being done. Love my Kubotas, but the pedal design needs tossed.👍

DO NOT BUY ANY KUBOTA PRODUCT I BOUGHT A NEW KUBOTA LX 4020 TRACTOR TO USE FOR A SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS IN BRIAN HEAD, UT. I HAD TO PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO AS IT WAS THE ONLY KUBOTA DEALERSHIP WITHIN A 1000 MILE SEARCH TO HAVE THE TRACTOR I NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED. The Dealership, Wickham Tractor in Fort Collins, CO sold me the tractor and added Howes diesel treatment to the tank as well as selling me the remainder of the bottle to use to prevent the fuel from jelling. I Used as per specs. Tractor was purchased on 11/21/23 and I picked it up and transported it back to UT. Tractor was in operation for 17.2 hours before it would not start. Local Kubota dealerships said they would not come out to try to fix it as we did not buy it from them. Took it to Las Vegas, NV, as they were closest Kubota dealership, dropped off on 1/8/24 at 730 am. Kubota dealership said the fuel smelled funny so it wasn't covered under warranty and said $12000.00 plus to fix. The DPF was completely clogged and the only codes were low temp MAF sensor and no communication with EGR. Western area rep said there was no fuel to test because I drained it. This is a Lie. Had more than 6 gallons of fuel in it when i dropped it off. I have all the emails and correspondences and text messages, proving they denied coverage for adding a fuel additive. Sergio at Kubota customer service said, “When I put fuel in the tractor it voided warranty.” Apco, the Kubota dealership in Las Vegas, sent out the injectors for testing they came back as bad due to fuel contamination on 1/23/24. Kubota persisted in their point of me putting bad fuel in the Tractor. When I called the tester, I pressed about the fuel contamination. The person who did the test, said it was visible metal in the injectors that most likely came from the high pressure fuel pump. There was no metal in the fuel tank, fuel filter or fuel water separator. The dealership i bought the tractor from said they were the only ones that could help me at this point due to Kubota policy. Eddie at Wickham tractor told me I needed to bring the tractor back to them, 1367 miles round trip. and they would sell me a new one because I had broken this one. And would see about trying to fix the one I had already bought for a discount. I transported the tractor back to Greely, CO to Wickham on 1/18/24 they tested the fuel that was still in the filters and it came back as fine 2/8/24 so they were going to replace the entire engine. This could take between 3 to 9 months. My warranty coverage says all warranty work to be completed within 30 days. On 2/28/24 I found out there was internal Kubota Service Bulletin that came out to all the dealers the week before I bought the tractor stating the very problems my tractor was having. They knew this, and still denied coverage, and finally, when I presented this fraud to Kubota, on 3/7/24 Wickham tractor said they were going to replace the tractor with a new one, but wouldn't give me a timeline of when I would get a new one and I would have the expense of picking it up from them verses a local dealership. These delays have cost me my business and reputation to move snow I had to pay out my competitors and cancel and refund all my contracts. A service bulletin for this tractor was issued before I bought it stating this very problem. and it was to be fixed at Kubotas expense. They knew the problem existed, they tried to blame it on me for adding fuel supplement, they tried to coerce me into buying a new tractor on top of the broken one so i didn't lose my business. they refused to cover the cost of repair until i proved their fraud, and intent by pushing the narrative and then changing and deleting emails. I have all emails and correspondence showing the timeline, the fraud and intent.

Even on the bigger tractors it seems like the lifting capacity is down. I remember loaders around 30 years ago that were rated for 10k , I think the most I’ve seen on current tractors is under 7k.

@@PurpleNovemberthat might also be due to how they were rated. Those higher ratings were at the pins instead of 500mm out from the FEL and 24" from the 3PH. That change is responsible for roughly a 26% drop in FEL capacity and 22% drop in 3PH capacity.

It is fairly easy to raise the lifting capacity on those loaders. You just need to be careful not to exceed the pressure rating of the hydraulic hoses.

His numbers are not correct.

@@Noah_E It was at the pins. There’s been a lot of changes in the industry since then.

I absolutely love my Tym T454 Cab/heat/AC with backhoe, a true workhorse

TYM is awesome! I’ve had my T25 for 2 years, no issues. Love it

I believe several models of JD tractors are TYMs painted green. My understanding is JD doesn't make very many models of tractor themselves anymore, I believe they only make the really big AG tractors for themselves , almost everything else in their line is re-badged from "partner" manufacturers in China or Korea.. I know that until last year Hitachi built their excavators for them.

@@reganmorben9248 their small tractors, 1-4 series are all built in the USA. No issue with mini excavators being built by quality suppliers. New Holland used to get theirs from Kobelco.

I think that idea is out to lunch. The parts and pieces may be sourced world wide but they are assembled in USA. @@reganmorben9248

Mahindra is trash.... poor welds mostly.... also shitty hydraulic parts. I wound up replacing nearly all hydraulic lines and couplers on mine in less than 5 years, and it was all undersized, so when I replaced it with standard ID hydraulic lines and couplers, the performances much better until the hydraulic pump spun a bearing and had to be rebuilt. Oh and the electrical work in Mahindras is terrible too.... I tried warrantying several of my problems, and it was like talking to a wall, especially about the welds rusting through the paint all over the machine. You could tell the loader was made by another company or in another plant as the paint did not fade like the tractor's paint did, and the loader's welds were not bubbling rust up through the paint like the tractor's welds had. Mahindra is trash...

I just hope it works out for you IF you go to sell it some day. My best friend has a low hour MF 1734 with a loader, pallet forks and a rear remote in mint condition and can't even get anyone to call and make an offer or come look at it. Been on the market since November. If that was a Kubota or JD, I don't think it would have lasted two weeks. The L3560 he replaced the Massey with was on the market four days.

@@richardhertz8996 Selling it wasn't on my list of concerns when I got it and it still isn't. I got it so I could get more yard work done. There's several houses around my area that have a little Massey just like mine who also use them for yard work. Funny enough Kubota and John Deere don't sell any quicker than Massey's do around here. If someone is a John Deere or Kubota lover they're only going to buy those and nothing else. Others will find a better deal regardless of brand and buy that instead. :)

In my area, Kubota and Deere probably control 80% of the market. Not a ton of interest in anything else. @@Slane583

I looked at tractors for a few years before buying my Massey last year. Comparing specs quality and price massey and case had the best offerings in my opinion. I liked the specs on the massey more and I couldn't be happier with it.

@@shanedevon147 It's a great machine and has been very useful. Especially when it comes to carrying a bunch of bags of mulch or chicken feed. I'd eventually like to get a carry-all frame for the back of mine so I can haul more bags around. I went with the Massey because it was the cheapest offering in the area that was in my budget. While still being well built and well laid out. Definitely far less plastic on it than John Deere for less money.

Did Bobcat ever fix their loader curl function? Lots of people that couldn’t curl over 200lbs.

Which of the off brands will be in business in years to come if you need parts or service?

@whiz3528 Kiot, Mahindra, Massey, and TYM are a few that are going to be there still. They all have been with us for many years and all are slowly taking more and more market share from JD and Kubota as well. Competition is good for us so happy to see it!

Love the 4020! Oops! Talking about the John Deere with a 148 loader lol or 158.

How many hours when you have around 2000 hours then do a review see how it's holding up

That’s my point. Kubota is way more money for less capability. Glad we’re on the same page :)

I had a Kioti NX6010 tractor and after replacing the wire harness 2 times I gave up on it and replaced it with a Kubota. Wire harnesses should never go bad as it is a non-moving part.Never again on Kioti!!! Capacity will never trump quality in my book.

yeah plus same orange lol

Kioti is not as deceitful as kubota

@@EasyGrowsItkubota fanboy here and I’ll tell you right now that can happen with any brand. Kioti is definitely upping the anti.

That’s the MSL version, not standard loader which is 845 lbs. Reference: www.deere.com/en/loaders/front-end-loaders-for-tractors/300e-loader/

Yeah, no days off!

Would be a pretty boring video…just tons and tons of stuff going on, something has to give. Need to find the right balance. I don’t like doing anything when it’s no longer fun. Need to get back to the feeling of when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. Natural ups and downs of life. Nothing crazy.

I told you once before to handle your business! You don’t owe anyone anything. I think it’s an invasion of your personal space to try to answer this type of questioning. No offense to the writer. I feel that if we were loyal subscribers we’d understand no matter what. If your little rabbit got out his cage and ran away, then he just got out! Not our business. This just where we just keep watching and support your channel.

My father picked up an 1835m, it's a hell of a tractor for how tiny it is.

Thanks Randy, appreciate you following along

Yes I’ve even thought about adopting The pedal so I can use it with my hand. Rod running up from the floor

It's just numbers. A Hell Cat will do 185 mph. Who does that?
