Excellent follow-up on the Kubota. I would have to see a formal quote for both machines. It's hard to believe there would be a 10k difference when equipped the same way. There was no mention of ballast in the Kubota tires whether standard or optional. The 2 speed shift on the fly is definitely a nice feature. I have an old Ford LGT18H (1988) that has the rocker peddle for forward and reverse, so the Kubota design is proven and not unusual. I do however love the 2 peddle design of my 1026R. Great, great video series Tim and Christy!!!

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

We will work on this. …planning another episode to dig in.

@acdii Год назад

Actually 10K is a bit low, the L4060 to Deere comparison was $12K last year (21) when I was shopping, and it wasn't a perfect apples to apples, nor were filled tires part of it. The Kubota had a few positives over the Deere, one being the Kubota was heavier, which is a must, and the loader, while not lifting as much weight, had a higher lift to it. It is also a bit longer in wheel base. For field work the weight and length is important, at least for me for stability.

@ggarden8432 Год назад

My price on a 1025 R and a BX2680 with all the same stuff was $5200 difference. The only thing that the 1025R has that I really like is the side by side foot pedals. I hope when I am ready to buy there will be some deals.

@johngoodwin8889 Год назад

Love the tredle pedal so easy to find forward and reverse never need to think about it

@SmittyP79 Год назад

I can run treadle pedal all day long for $10k😂

@tuffram2165 Год назад

The Fuel tank location on the Kubota is a huge advantage over the Deere!!!!!!! And the SSQA is standard on the Kubota so that opens the door for a huge selection of used attachments for the loader.

@noral101 Год назад

I looked at both these tractors and I bought a Kubota for 2 main reasons. 1 the $10k price difference. 2 John Deere needs to update the 4 series cab, it’s silly that they slap the 3 series cab on the 4 series frame and charge you more. It feels small inside and looks goofy too.

Zach is my go to guy down there at my Kubota dealer. I was drooling over that 50th anniversary L6060. The color combo was awesome on that tractor.

@hardwareguy1 Год назад

One of your best comparison videos. These two tractors are extremely close. My brother has a 4066R and I have a L4760. I wish my Kubota had the rear controls for hooking up 3-point. My brother wishes he had the HST Plus feature. Of the two, we find the extra speed adjustments is a much bigger deal than the rear controls. I use that feature almost everytime I use the tractor. Using bucket, grapple, and almost evrything else. It's a BIG plus.

@shawnkeen4539 Год назад

We are on year two on our 4066R w/ Deluxe Cab. This tractor does everything we ask. We have a large 60 inch hydraulic grapple that we work very hard. I have always been a John Deere guy and I am so glad we got the 4066R.

@braxtonwiggins6576 Год назад

Tim if he goes with kubota he wants the L2272 third function kit. My dealer didn’t know it existed till I ordered it. It adds factory third function as well as in cab push button hydraulic skid steer quick connect. He can change from bucket to forks without leaving cab to unlatch anything. I purchased a L6060 in November of 2021. I’m very familiar with the grand L as I previously had a L3540. When I purchased I shopped all of them again to make sure of what I wanted. I will say the hitch assist seems like a great feature on the John Deere but if you have a quick hitch not sure how often you would use it . Fuel fill location on the kubota is superior. Cab size is noticeably better on the kubota as well as it is a 4 post cab instead of a 2 post John Deere has which adds the rear corner windows that pop out. Only complaint or change I would make on the kubota L6060 is I wish it had a economy pto lever. For the size implements your gonna run you generally don’t need all 53pto hp . Mine is thirsty as majority of my tasks are done at pto speeds and it burns a little over a gallon of fuel a hour. You will run out of weight/ traction before you run out of hp with these machines.

@aarondillon3880 Год назад

This two video series was fascinating to me. I thought it was awesome to see Pete on your channel learning from you about determining what you need your machine to do. Then, when I saw this video with Zach, I was really happy for them to get that visibility on your channel. As far as which machine to get, I own a Kubota, but both of these machines are excellent. Having said that, I was shocked by the price difference, for a machine that is arguably identical in most ways. Great job Tim, Pete, and both dealerships for the hard work.

@michaelmactavish4445 Год назад

It’s amazing that it 10,000.00 different in the prices. And I agree with Tim all tractors need the controls in the back.

@lostnwalmart9110 Год назад

I ended up with a 4060 limited for the same reason, it was substantially less expensive than team green for what felt like an equivalent product.

@michaelmactavish4445 Год назад

yeah kubota l4060 are nice

@acdii Год назад

Same here. I got the LE HST-C with 3 rear remotes, 3rd function and quick attach remote, mirrors, cruise control switch, light switches, and PTO switch, which I installed myself, and not only was it less than the Deere by a substantial amount, the Limited Edition was $4K less than the Deluxe with the mirrors and front lights. I installed four LED work lights I got from Amazon with brackets I made myself for up front, and a $20 radio. Added a subwoofer so it sounds good too. All said and done, was ~ $44K. The Deere was nearly $56K.

@bloodyknucklecustom3348 Год назад

I own a L3560 limited. I also found kubota to be substantially cheaper than Deere. I preferred the Deere but kubota won. The pedal ended up being a non issue. The HST PLUS trans was a big win on the kubota. The hydraulic splitter gear was a really nice feature that has ended up being a big deal

@lonewolfFirearms Год назад

When I priced out equivalent features and size, I compared the deere to kioti and the price difference was $20,000.00. Needless to say I went with the kioti. I haven't had any issue with my kioti tractor and my dealer is only 25 minutes from my house so when I have questions or need maintenance materials they are always ready to get what I need.

@bobpurs Год назад

Did the same

@henrimcgowan5589 Год назад

You also get more loader lift capacity with kioti

@JCWren Год назад

I have no regrets about the L4701, but if I were buying again, I'd strongly consider a Kioti. It's basically a Kubota at heart. I had a whole list of tractors I was going to comparison shop at various dealers, and by the time I finished looking at specs, pricing, dealer locations, and everything else, I basically walked into the Kubota dealership and said "Sell me a tractor". The dealer actually talked me out of front and rear hydraulics, and I didn't understand enough about tractors to know why I would or wouldn't want those. I wasn't overly price sensitive, and I >really< wish I had gotten those.

@bobpurs Год назад

@@JCWren No regrets here. Born and raised JD and still have Deere but couldn’t justify extra cost. Great Kioti dealer I have and been very happy. JD dealer not to bad but didn’t seam to want to work with me. As far as front and rear hydraulics, they are a must, can’t understand why a dealer would talk you out of it .

@daveknowshow Год назад

really enjoyed this and the ending was FUNNY! " You suppose to give good advice Tim " lol ha ha made me chuckle

@forceon959 Год назад

I can post on one of the forums to you, but this works. The biggest thing to compare is the dealers also. I had wanted to move up to a 60hp tractor this year. I usually go kubota but deere has a bit more lifting capacity in the front. So I started talking with my deere dealer in may of this year telling them I wanted a 4066r open cab. They were very non responsive and took them about a month of me calling to get a quote on paper. So here we are in June and I have a quote but there are some things wrong in the quote. I kept calling and emailing my salesman and took weeks to get responses and finally all ironed end of july. August rolls around and ask and ask is the order in - no not yet. No calls back nothing. So I got pretty disgusted with the dealers lack of caring about me. Talking with Tim from big tool rack after buying one of his racks he said why aren't I looking at the grand L 6060. I already like my kubota dealer and have been dealing with them 20+ years. Went in and they let me have a test ride on one that was in the shop. Something deere couldn't let me do. And then priced it all out that day on paper with a quote. Was $17,000 cheaper overall with my features and attachments I wanted. Almost apples to apples. No brainer. Canceled my deere order and now waiting for a 6060. Looks like 1st quarter 2023, fingers crossed. If deere in my area can't treat me right while buying my tractor imagine how service would go.

@hughhead9079 Год назад

I think Kubota is onto something with that black loader/wheel setup on that "special edition". Just makes a man smile looking at it. And the result of such emotion is usually expensive.

I have owned five pieces of Kubota machinery through the years. Absolute best for a myriad of reasons why. Just bought an excavator and an M4-071D tractor from Kubota of Lynchburg this past year. No regrets. For me, price wasn’t the deal maker; it was quality, uptime, and exceptional dealer support and customer service. I’ve had a couple of Deeres through the years and they are mediocre at best in quality and performance for the cost. For us, there’s nothing here that isn’t orange. Great channel! Great content!

@dropshot1967 Год назад

I have run a fair number of large lawnmowers with cabs of different brands. Most with hydrostatic transmission, some with side-by-side pedals, and some with the rocker-type pedal. Often switching several times a day between the two. It really is a matter of getting used to either one. I found no significant advantage or disadvantage between the two.

@jimmcknight3021 Год назад

One other nice feature you can get on most Grand L is the hydraulic power SSQA. We had it installed and really like the convenience of it.

I have had deere tractors most of my life but the deere dealers near me are not good and one is 15 miles from me the other 2 are about 30 minutes away I drove a hour and half away to a kubota dealer that deere dropped because they was to small and bought a kubota the dealer was half of the reason for it But I like both brands when I me and my wife talk about it and prayed about we went with kubota I don't know if they are a good and bad in it Both brands have things I like just come down to where you feel like fits your family better Hope everyone has a blessed weekend

@ralphjelomono9068 Год назад

Excellent video Tim. When I was shopping I compared the JD 4066M to the Kubota MX6000. Used a lot of Pete's logic. Couple things that swayed me was I was not at all thrilled with the Kubota pedal arrangement. Second was my local Kubota dealership is not very good and I have two excellent JD dealerships. Green did cost a bit more but well worth it as far as I am concerned.

@bobtanner4068 Год назад

I have owned 4 Kubota’s with cabs and Hydro stats. An option i love is the hydraulic quick attach on the loader bucket. What i would like to see is the lights on the cab built into the the roof, every tree limb catches them and the mirrors. I would also like a self levering loader.

@heyvideog Год назад

With having 3 Deeres and a Kubota over the years my preference by far is the Kubota. Keep in mind that Deere always used to use priority attachments whereas the Kubota has the standard skidsteer setup on its loaders and makes attachments less expensive. My $.02

@jollyg83 Год назад

I love both Deere and Kubota. I’ve owned and operated both. My B2650 has been the best one yet, regardless of the treadle pedal and the transmission wine/jerk. If Kubota offered a twin touch pedal it would be a game changer. At the very least, that’s something the aftermarket world should address.

@bradmeacham6982 Год назад

Kubota does not offer a MSL loader, but they do offer a "spill guard", or hydraulic self leveling, option. I cannot find documentation on whether or not the self leveling is only functional when raising the boom, or if it works on both up and down boom operations.

@nicholascote8469 Год назад

I think talking about the maintenance schedule needed for both of these machines is an important thing to note after the sale. I may be wrong but I believe the Kubota requires more frequent maintenance intervals than the Deere which will end up offsetting the price between the two. Another thing to note is the size of the loader, Kutota's loader is larger which obstructs your view a little more than the Deere.

@BrickyardPowerMan Год назад

Love my Kubota B2650 but would prefer a 2-pedal setup vs treadle. I’m used to it and it works fine. Glad Kubota is moving the brakes to the left side on the new L02 series as it never made sense to have the brake over the treadle.

I looked at these exact two models when I was making my decision back in 2020. I ultimately went with the Deere because all my other equipment is Deere and wanted to maintain a great relationship with my service department.

I would take it down who’s going to provide you the best service after the sale.

@countrycaretakerpropertyse7981 Год назад

I was waiting for this video. This comparison comes up all the time on snow removal pages. We went with a 4066 for a couple of reasons: nicer cab, faster road speed and in my case: better service. We just hit 1000 hours on ours and are still happy. If I was a homeowner I’d probably consider the kubota because of the price point but if you want your employees to be happy while doing snow removal then get the 4066r.

@countrycaretakerpropertyse7981 Год назад

Also it should be a no brainer and I’m going to get a lot of hate but the 4066 is muuuuuch better looking than the kubota. Only thing I hate about our 4066r is the windshield washer fluid fill location and the oil filter spot (when the loader arms are on)

Great video Tim!!! If the formal quotes are anything close to those in the video, it seems like a no brainer to choose the Kubota as much as it hurts to say that. The only feature that the 4066R had that stood out is the rear fender controls. That is a significant safety feature IMO, but I don't know that it is work $9-10k. That price difference is a tough hill to climb for an individual or a business unless they are dedicated to a specific brand. It would explain why all his buddies in the same line of business are driving Orange... Having said that, it seems that I read or saw in another video that Kubota does NOT adhere to the standards/recommendations for ASABE for agricultural/turf equipment design. That reliance on 'internal' standards is probably what is influencing the lower price point in slightly lighter design in some respects. The heavier overall weight does not mean it necessarily has higher engineering tolerances. I think for that reason, despite how closely spec'd, it is never going to be a simple apple to apples comparison between the JD and Kubota.

I own the 4066R. I have rebuilt the steering cylinders on my dads JD 2555 and a Kubota M9000 both very similar. The Kubota seals and o-rings were almost 4 times as much. Kubota parts are always hard to get and forget about trying to get on a forum or watch a RU-vid video to repair a Kubota. The JD handled his Vermeer round baler and a 15’ Woods batwing so much better than the Kubota. Balance with 2,000 lbs in the bucket or hay spear as well as the pallet forks wasn’t even close. The JD would keep back wheels on the ground where the Kubota had 3 extra weights on each rear tire and still be unstable. Both had ballast in rear tires. I could go on and on about engine problems as well as brakes and clutched twice that had to be replaced with less than 1800 hrs on the Kubota. JD had over 6,000 hrs. Clutched once, never touched brakes or engine. I choose to pay more now than pay later.

10 grand is a big difference. I have operated them both and both are very nice operating tractors

I like the treadle pedal

@JCWren Год назад

I didn't have any tractor experience prior to getting the Kubota L4701HST. I can't say if the two pedal setup would be better, but I absolutely like the treadle pedal. I also very much like the treadle on the right of the transmission hump and the brakes on the left side. It's all very intuitive and comfortable. Regardless if I'm wearing tennis shoes or heavy boots, my foot doesn't get crossed up or anything in the treadle. My only real negative about the L4701 is the seat safety switch when using the forks. You just cannot see the pallet from a seated position, and if you stand up to look at it and want to creep forward, it won't let you. I'll likely put a bypass switch on it for that specific situation. I have no issue with having the seat safety switch other than with the forks, and it would be nice for it to shut off if I ever were to be thrown off :)

Kudos. One of the best vid Tim you have put out. I enjoyed the comparisons/salesperson/Customer. I’m always wondering on the rear or front mounts for the snowblower, being from the snow belt. Isn’t it just a sore neck looking behind all day blowing snow

For me, dealership service would come into play in a major way. I am in an area where green service is very good, and orange is very, very bad. The two dealerships are almost next door to each other and about 10 miles from me. Many Kubota owners I know haul their orange tractors 100 miles for service elsewhere to avoid the local shop. Pete appears to have two quality dealerships close by him. He should appreciate that. When you have jobs lined up and waiting, having your tractor sitting at a shop for several weeks can cost more in lost business than that $10K difference in price.

@johncrishock9317 Год назад

Tim, that was a thought provoking video. I agree both are excellent brands.

@jjjustin17favs Год назад

Kubota was the first tractor I ever ran or purchased. Never knew anything diffrent about the pedal. Now everything else seems odd

@mattphillips4260 Год назад

seeing these 2 units i think i would go with the kubota with the price difference after being blessed finding the kubota i have and really only liking features the deere had over other tractors i looked at kubota i had the joy of working with both a zero turn and side by side i think the same engines or near same engines are also used in the tractor line i really liked how strong they ran that said i am happy with the kubota i ended up with i am itching to get it to work and see just how well i am going to like it things have really slowed down here with mowing and stuff not much to do bummer

@jimschmitz6192 Год назад

When your in the realm of the 1025R there’s very little difference in price but, wow, there’s a big price difference as you go up the HP ladder! As I travel around my area I’m seeing more and more brands popping up (most of which are probably made by the same company just branded with different names) and I wonder what current parts supplies are, not to mention what’s going to happen three or four years down the road when these brands go out of business?

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Exactly! It has been several years since a slow down in the small tractor world. Wonder which brands will be shaken out when that next slowdown occurs?

@profdave2861 Год назад

When I was looking to buy my tractor back in 2018, I really wanted to go green. I researched and test drove every brand I could find within a reasonable driving distance. I found that there really is no exact “head to head” comparison between Kubota and Deere. Their models seem to leap frog each other with each one falling between two sized of the other brand. I though the Deere 2 series would be the one for me, but it just didn’t have the capacity and capability I needed (especially with the backhoe), and over time I decided I wanted a factory cab. The Kubota Grand L series seems to fit between the 3 and 4 series Deeres, but with a much larger and nicer cab, equal or better loader options, and a more capable backhoe. I ended up with the Grand L4060, and it was both better appointed and substantially cheaper than the Deere 3 series, and WAY less money than the Deere 4 series. I’ve had the L4060 for over 4 years (and 5 summers) and have absolutely zero issues. It is a very capable, comfortable, and reliable piece of equipment, and I’m totally happy with my decision (even though it wasn’t green!)

@robertward553 Год назад

Watching both videos, I like Deere more, especially standing in the back being able to move the tracker forward or back is really cool. But $10 grand is $10 grand.

@tonyshowers-qcsiltfence7617 Год назад

Great video Tim. My company has both tractors in our fleet. We’ve had excellent performance from each machine. The John Deere is a more comfortable cab and seat and with better rear vision to grading attachments. The Kubota is very solid build and the HST transmission is very handy. The Deere is more stable on slopes, and the Kubota has a larger open feeling in the cab. If buying another machine we would go with John Deere.

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Very helpful feedback. Thanks!

@jdfleetguy28 Год назад

Great Video Tim. I have to admit the Kubota has some features I like better than my Deere 4066R. Not that I would ever buy anything but a Deere. JD Green is just in my blood since I was kid growing up on the family farm, where we were very much Deere people when it came to tractors. IE. I think I noticed that Kubota's righthand door held itself open and I think I saw steps on both sides. However, I do really hate the Treadle peddle on Kubota. Did the Kubota offer more or less independent hydraulic options. My 4066R limits me to 2 rears independent SCVS and 3 mid/front. That something I really like about my 5Ms, is that mine both have 3 rear and 3 front SCVS all independent of each other. I am really hoping Deere Addresses that 3R/4R small cabs and limited SCVS in the next generation or they simply add E-hydro to some of the 5 Series models.

Kubota for life! I just love em. 🤷‍♂️ plus now that deer is fighting right to work on. Screw that. Even if i liked deere, i wouldnt support their view on it. But i love my orange tractors! Fits my love or saw brand. Sthil! 🤭 orange tractor and saws! Especially everything the new Grand L series offers!!!

When I was shopping for a tractor, I purchased the Branson 3725 because it was the heaviest of the brands in a comparable size. More steel, cast iron transmission / differential (instead of aluminum), larger axles, more loader lift capacity, SSQA standard, engine built in the same factory that builds cummins generator engines.... Plus $20k less than green and $10k less than orange. 7 year warranty
