You are comparing a CUT to a Utility tractor. Big spread.
Sorta kinda

Edit: the 2 series is only available with a 62in deck
I never understood why they don't offer a 72in deck on a 2 series, I feel it could easily handle it. Heck I bet a 1 series could use a 72in
I've been trying for years to finagle a good price for a 1 Series when I bought my BX's, and 2 Series when I had my B's. The closest spread to get to a JD was $3500 more, and IMO, not worth it. Last year I bought my BX2670, and the Green would have pulled well over $4k more from my pocket. I really was hopeful as I would have appreciated the change. Now that the BX 80 Series is out, I think the JD 1-Series has a lot of work to do to remotely come close to the Kubota. As I start to think about entering my pre-retirement years, I am considering ease of use. I really like the quick attach FEL, MMM, etc. Kubota offers on their SCUT's. With the JD 2-Series offering some of these features, I'm not sure I'd pay the upgrade to a 2-Series, when JD already is overpriced in my local. The 1-Series to 2-Series would probably top $15-$20k.
You were comparing the "R" series or "E" series JD?
