Buying Advice 1023E vs Bx2330

dean1948 · Nov 14, 2011

I am looking at a JD 1023E and a BX2330 Kubota and would like to haer the advanctages and disadvantages as I need move soon as I sold my old tractor already. Pricing both with a loader (quick attach and 60 " mover) Just looking at the ease of off and on the JD seems easier. I also like the twin cylinders on the load. The one thing I dont like on JD is the lack of enough hydralic lines--cannt tilt the bucket if both are on the unit if using the mower. The orange is 750-1000 less money. Thoughts

i've been looking myself. recently sold a bx25 and had zero issues but the deeres look like a very nice machine .don't forget they are new so they will likely have some first run issues. mind me asking what you've been getting for prices?

The 1023 must have the independent mower lift option. It requires the loader tilt circuit to operate, so that the three point is freed up. I can't see the need for this $700 option. Now the prices are a little closer.

Watch out for dealers that have a certain thing in stock. They want to sell that unit so hard, that they'll come up with all kinds of lies.

Last week I ordered a 1026r, h120 w/53", 54" auto connect deck, and 54" 4way blade. I priced 4 Deere and 4 Kubota dealers, all of them were +-$300.

I've got a long story on my tractor purchasing "month", too long to put here. If you need more help, pm me your phone no.
