I've been comparing a Kubota B2320 to a John Deere 2320. I felt this was a fair model match up. Here are some of the key differences I found:
Kubota B2320
- LA304 loader has a pinned non quick connect coupler
- 48in bucket size is mandatory which does not exceed tread width (~50in)
- front snowblower size (50/51in) does not adequately exceed tread width
- PTO is not independent
- clutch
- heel/toe FWD/REV pedals
John Deere 2320
- 200CX loader has JD hook & pin quick connect coupler
- bucket sizes available are: Less bucket/48/53/60in + Frontier
- front snowblower sizes available are: 47/54in
- PTO is independent
- side-by-side FWD/REV pedals
The Kubota bucket and snowblowers seem to be poorly matched. The John Deere 48 bucket and 47 snowblower seem also a poor match. However the JD2320 with 53in bucket and 54in snowblower seems a perfect match. The PTO difference I feel is minor. The pedals are a personal preference. I really think Kubota misses simply on the lack of coupler and bucket/blower sizes.
What do you think?
