Comparison Kubota vs. John Deere

[tractchores]

I've got both, an old john deere and a new kubota. I looked at both and initially thought I wanted a JD, but after seeing and pricing them out I ended up with the kubota b2920. The JD was a lot more money and I just liked the b2920 a lot more after trying out both and went with that and have been very happy. There isn't one that's better than the other overall, they're both very good and reliable products with lots of happy customers and good resale. The decision really comes down to what dealer is better, what layout you like better and which one you like more after trying both. Whenever I look for my next tractor I'm sure I'll look at both again too... but I do have to admit I think the combo of both green an orange looks pretty good in my garage, so maybe I'll just get a bigger JD and have 2 bigger tractors

I've bought 13 Kubotas over the past 9 years. I bought my first one because the comparable Deere was $3000 more and the Blue was $2500 more. That's why I started with Kubota. My dealer (Barlows) wants to sell tractors and he prices them to move locally and for nation wide delivery. The other color dealers locally sell a lot fewer tractors and have to make more profit, I understand that and have no problem with it.
As long as Barlows sells Kubotas to me for a great price, I'll continue buying from him even though I've finally got the 5 I need, I've finished buying.:laughing::laughing:

You know what they say John, one day at a time; one day at a time. "I won't buy another tractor today." See you at the meeting next week.:laughing::laughing::thumbsup:

I know what forum it is I can READ! Regardless which forum it is I like DEERE.:2cents:

Ok, I will say it. Kubota is a better tractor and actually costs less for equal performance and features.

I would say that's an opinion and is not always true. No matter what you look at there's ups and down of each brand. If it were that clear cut, there would be no competition or need for it...

Not in my case. I have equal quotes for JD, Kubota, and Mahindra (1026R, BX25, Max25 respectively). On specs alone the Mahindra probably wins, but having a dealer network and parts availability is as important as specs.

Have both and can say that these are two top brands. Personally, we use big JDs for crops and medium sized Kubotas for general purpose. The smaller JDs are made by Yanmar and I have preference for Kubota over Yanmar, even if the Yanmars are designed by JD. Yanmar makes nice machines, but I just can't warm up to them. Bottom line is buy American whenever you can given respectable quality.

Well, both of you are posting on a Kubota section. Are you trying to convince us of something that we we will never be convinced about? I never post on the John Deere section. What's your problem?

Easy big fella. I was just offering some conflicting info. The BX25 is a sweet little machine, I'd love to own one!

Would you appreciate a Kubota owner posting "conflicting info" in the John Deere section? We chose Kubota because we believe it is a better machine designed and built by Kubota. John Deere OEMs their machines (the size we are talking about) from various Asian manufacturers, that's the difference.
