I have a Kubota L5740 CUT for working around my home and we have a John Deere 6230 utility for our farm. The Kubota can handle most things both do but the Deere is quicker and it has a lot more loader capacity. The Kubota is nimble enough to get in and out of places you can't get to with the bigger and heavier Deere. And even though the Deere has an excellent shuttle transmission, it can't compare to the Kubota's hydro. Having to choose one would be tough but I think the nod would have to go to the Deere because of it's increased capabilities for heavy work. It can easily lift a 2400# tote of wheat while the Kubota will only take enough weight off the load that I can slide it. That doesn't cut it if I need to load or unload the totes from a truck or trailer.
