Thanks to all for posting good information on this site! I have been looking to purchase a sub-compact tractor and I have narrowed it down to the Kubota BX23S or the John Deere 1025R. Both dealers are within 20 minutes of my home and both seem great. I road on each tractor and they both felt very good. I will be moving quite a bit of dirt on my property but nothing crazy heavy. The Kubota dealer quoted me a new BX25S which includes a front loader, backhoe w/thumb and 16" bucket, 54" standard mowing deck and a tooth bar for the front loader for $20,475 before tax.

The JD dealer quoted me a new 1025R tractor with a loader, backhoe and 54" drive-over deck for $21,700 before tax. I have to buy the thumb from a non-JD dealer.

I am leaning toward the Kubota because price is a big consideration but also Kubota is offering 0% interest for 84 months and JD is offering 0% interest for 50 months. After paying 20% down my payments for the Kubota will be $208/month and the JD will be $310.

I assumed the JD would be a better machine but I keep reading reviews where people are extremely happy with the Kubota.

Either one is better than me renting a machine for $320/day every weekend for the next 2 years.

Any thoughts or suggestions and perspectives is greatly appreciated. Are these quotes fair?
