#22 Snowblower comparison Kubota 55 vs JD 54 and see them in action.

[@mrparrotman03]

Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. kzbin.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I checked your link, wow that was a good storm. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@rdharris802]

Great side by side comparison. Thanks! I just got a 54 inch John Deere snow blower for my 2025R. I was disappointed to see it has a plastic impeller but encouraged by one of your commenters who said he has had no problem with his. Time will tell, winter is getting close :). That said I was pleased to see mine came with a gear box instead of a gear/chain set up like is shown in your video.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

My neighbor has had his for 4 years now with no issues also. Nice they have now implemented the new gear box instead of the chain 👍🏻. Thanks for watching and have a great week 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@JH-tc3yu]

your "gearbox" isn't a gearbox, just an enclosed chain case. Gearbox would reverse the rotation. The john deere "parallel drive" is an enclosed oil bath chaincase and I would guess the Kubota is the same. Easy way to tell is rotate the PTO input and see if the impeller spins the same way or the opposite way.

[@khtractors]

First time seeing a good comparison of these blowers. Kubota has definitely done it right with their blower. That smile on your face when coming behind the Deere while you were launching the snow down through the yard told the tell. Good video!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Thanks Ben, yep you’re exactly right my smile said it all. Thanks for watching 👍🏻 BTW, you did a good snow clean up at the school 👍🏻

[@notyourpapa]

I've had my JD with the 54 inch blower for 2 winters doing 2 driveways. Mine is over 300 feet long. The impeller doesn't throw the snow as far as I'd want but it's fine. I was skeptical about the plastic impeller but it's been holding up. Not too much damage to it. Only other thing I'd change is the chute will only go left or right at about 90 degrees from the front. Would be nice if it it could throw snow back abit when you get to the road.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

The JD in the video has had his for 6 winters and he hasn’t had issue either. Thanks for sharing your experience and have a great week🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@johndeere322_snowblowing9]

I have a JD322 dedicated for snow removal with a 47 inches snowblower, but the older heavy duty one commonly called the "Chest Freezer". You can do a mode to have the chute turn almost 270 deg by using double pulleys. Did it on mine and works great. Look it up... Videos on KZbin and also on Tractor forum. Cheers ⛄❄🌨🏔🏂

[@8430IVT]

I had a JD 47 inch with the plastic impeller, then went to a JD 59 inch with a steel impeller. The 47 actually blew better then the 59. I thought the plastic was a joke too,I am a farmer and used it in all conditions including ice chunks and good sized rocks that got in the way. I never had a problem.

[@markmarcoccia1020]

Excellent video, I really enjoyed the comparison because you don't always see them so close side by side. I wonder if those additional arms in the JD blower are counter weights to lessen vibration. The Kubota blower also has the snow disperser inside the shoot to break up chunks or wet heavy snow.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I thought the same thing but I figured they were there to break up the snow ?, still not sure. Thanks for watching Mark 👍🏻

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good evening Sir, at 4:15 it is a shear pine and once it is shear the weight bring down the augers and also a counter balance weight ( for having less vibrations ? ) Great informative video Sir Cheers 👍😉

I have had a John Deere 47 inch snowblower since 2013 when I purchased a John Deere X540. I can't say I hate any blower more than blowers by John deer except for their walk behinds. I am in the middle of buying a brand new John Deere 1025R. I would love to purchase a Kubota 55 for it.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I don’t know if they still make it but they had a 54” S1SB-54 under the Frontier brand (JohnDeere) and it was made by the same company (RadTech) that makes the Kubota 55”. Hope this can help 👍🏻. Have a great weekend 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

Shear pins are much easier to change on the deere. You have to pound out the ones on a kubota.

[@robertmoulton2656]

John deere has shear bolts on bolth ends of the cross auger as well as one on the impeller. Where is kabotas shear locations or is their slip clutches ?

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Kubota also has 3 sheer pins, almost same location as JD. Thanks for watching Robert and have a great week 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@PJ-ee5mc]

This is a good video but the John Deere had a fresh path of undisturbed snow while the Kubota was rolling over the area next to it that had 2 tire tracks thereby making this comparison unequal. I have no doubt that if you could have created equal conditions for both blowers the performance of the Kubota would have more obviously exceeded that of the Deere. This has also been my personal experience with these units. The design of the Kubota is far more desirable than that of the JD in a whole variety of ways. This is coming from a guy with decades of farming & ranching owning and operating many, many JD tractors and a variety of blowers types. This snowblower design that JD now offers is an embarrassment to their otherwise good name. The John Deere salesman will sometimes say, "No little boy dreams of growing up and owning an orange tractor." But definitely an orange snowblower for me :)

No issues at all with mine, they work the same as most lawn tractor treadle pedals. Just glad they got the brake pedal on the opposite side of the tractor...seems a few other orange models have the brake and treadle pedal on the same side.

[@orestwitiw213]

It’s not even close the Kubota blower is built stronger and throws substantially further than the Deere. The biggest difference and almost most important is the auger is serrated! I’ve cut through ice chunks the city plow left in the driveway easily with the Kubota. It turned the ice chunks to ice dust. The Deere I had just flung them around in the auger housing and who puts a plastic impeller on a heavy duty blower?

[@D70340]

I`ve owned green all my life, but JD wanted ALL our green out of our pockets. We said, not this time JD. We went with Kubota and saved a ton of money. Plus when we got our BX23s, they threw in the 60" mowing deck for free because Kubota was running a special deal when we got ours. And we got ZERO percent financing. Of course its all paid off now. We aren`t sorry for buying Kubota. It has been 100% trouble free since 2017 when we bought it. We still love it as much as the day we bought it brand new. Looks like we`ll be orange for awhile, lol.

I noticed in your comparison of Kabota‘s gearbox on the back of the snowblower to John Deere you showed the sprockets, and it did not even have a chain on it but now the John Deere also offers the gearbox there, which is better, but I do agree the Kabota seems to throw the snow quite a bit farther Which I do like

[@CourtyardPigeon]

I remember when it used to snow

[@owen37able]

Biased toward the JD. Said it pick up more snow but forgot to mention that the JD was going through fresh snow whereas the Kubota was going on the part which already had vehicle track marks wher the sow had already been crushed down and displaced. So not a fair test.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

They are both very good sub compact tractors. Thanks for watching and have a great one 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@timstractoradventure4611]

I believe the distance gain is because the John Deere was probably having to throw more snow and in turn pulled the rpm’s down. I have a 54 and a 59 John Deere and after seeing the plastic fan it performs no different than a steel one. And I have blown everything from gravel to asphalt.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

They are both great snowblowers and I think JD has changed their setup to a gear drive instead of chain and I think the impellers also. The Frontier line of implements from JD has the same blower as the Kubota, that would have been a better comparison test. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Tim and have a great weekend 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@jenwright2577]

kubota sends the snow back to where it came from!

[@l337pwnage]

I think the problem with plastic is you really want the momentum of impeller to store energy and help you power through load variations. I tend to believe more impeller blades is better for a couple reasons. One is Ariens, way back in they day when 4 blades was standard for everyone, went up to 6 blades on their big units. Also, when you look at large industrial blowers, some of them are packed tight with blades.

[@xjfo]

I have a 2017 BX23S with a BX2816 50" snowblower. When I purchased the dealer did not have any snowblowers and I wasn't given any options other than manual, electric or hydraulic chute and rotation controls. My snowblower has a chain drive. After four years of use I've had zero problems with it and I love my snowblower. The K Connect system is pretty slick and easy to setup. The JD 1023R may have better loader lift capacity, a tighter turn radius, and that really nice drive over deck but I think the Kubota BX has a superior snowblower. I also use a Land Pride rear blade. I started with an RB0560 blade but traded it in after a season for the RB0548. I was annoyed with the 60" blade knocking snow from the sides of of the snow bank that I had just cleared with the 50" snowblower. Initially I thought I would want the 60" rear blade to make up for the width when the blade was angled. As it turns out I usually leave my blade straight for cleaning around the garage doors and when cleaning up after the blower I just make a few extra passes. The blade with the snowblower is really a nice setup.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I also believe Kubota has the better snowblowers, I don’t know who makes the JD ones but the RADTech blowers are superior. I also love my setup 👍🏻, thanks for watching Christopher 👍🏻

[@keithpeterson9179]

Nice video! I have the J.D. 54" on a 1025R, love it! No problem with the plastic impeller on mine. One thing about Kubota is the depth of the auger housing is deeper i think, so they can clean out more snow. My JD will dribble around the side if too much snow is being thrown. Were the Kubota doesn't seem to do that. Truth be told I like the Kubota snowblower better but love the JD tractor much more. They both are a good product though.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I fully agree Keith, they are both great products, that’s why they are at the top of this category but what counts is just having a tractor no matter the make, just having one is so much fun 👍🏻. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching

You had me at the view of the two impellers. The JD simply can't impart the velocity to the snow like that four bladed, cupped design and the Kubota looks to have tighter clearance between impeller and the sidewall. No wonder it throws the snow 30%-40% further. Thanks for the video!

Forget about installing the driveshaft once that blower is installed. It won''t fit. Too long. I like my 1023 John Deere tractor, but those blowers are junk.

The idea of a plastic impeller is on gravel driveways when you get rocks caught in between the propeller and the housing it destroy your housing with the steal propeller. The poly one won't do that. Bottom line is once you wear holes in the fan housing your snowblower is ready for boot hill!

Your side by side of the blowers in action speaks volumes. Plastic impellers, chain drive, cable set up for chute rotation,,,,I have the same blower, it does not compare to the RadTech. If JD thinks they are #1, then replace this cheap blower with the Frontier branded RadTech. The 1025r is a great tractor, no argument there. Just up the quality on the blower. Lord knows we pay a hefty premium now for all things green. Thanks again for this video.

[@ACEMAN0044]

Hey, I'm looking to pickup a JD and I've been trying to decide between the 590 or 739. The 590 I think will do the job sufficiently but the drive over deck, and PTO driven mow deck and snowblower and 4wd drive would be pretty great to have.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

They are both two solid machines. I guess it depends on the size of your driveway and property. The X739 offers more but is definitely more expensive. Good luck 👍🏻

[@derevenskayazhizn]

Приветствую вас , мне кажется что каждый трактор хорош по своему у каждого есть что-то своё хорошее , ну они оба хороши👍

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Я согласен, но вы платите премию, когда вы покупаете John Deere, можно было бы ожидать более спасибо за смотреть 👍🏻

[@raceflags]

when I bought my Kabota I thought throwing money away,Boy was I wrong never in my life would believe such a small machine could do so much.I bought rototiller I thought it was too big nope works 100%. I know 3 have J.D there buckets are all tore up mine I use for construction and everything in between it needs paint but not big,I've never even dressed the cutting edge yet. I won't hesitate to buy Kabota again

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Sounds like you love your Kubota just like I do 👍🏻, they are great little tractors. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@stevensilva1350]

The Kubota just has a better design. And it shows when your blowing. I’ve seen the berco/radtec blowers on JD sub compacts. Both blowers are chain driven from the PTO

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Love my snowblower 👍🏻, thanks for watching and have a great week Steven 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@lakerbota7925]

I was having the same issue with the quick couplers on my BX2680 when my plow was attached. While looking over the couplers, I noticed that on each coupler, the notch in the locking collar was in-line with the steel ball that protrudes from the side of female coupler body. I then removed each coupler, wiped down the male and female surfaces, and reconnected each hydraulic line. I then turned each of locking collar, so that the notch was no longer lined up with the steel ball. Not sure if this actually fixed my problem, but they haven't leaked since.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Thanks for the tip Ryan, I know what I’m doing first thing tomorrow morning, thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@lfod79]

What model John Deere?

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

It’s the 1025R with the 54” snowblower. Thanks for watching and have a great one 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@lfod79]

Thanks for making it! Very informative!

[@robertrockwell7581]

the Kubota threw it further and looked smoother. though I'm not a Kubota fan just because everybody wants one.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Everybody wants a JD also 😉👍🏻. Thanks for watching Robert and have a great weekend 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@shortCUT207]

Very nice- From buffalo ,ny Thank you ! I run little guys in tight quarters Berco on a 235 Rips

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

You’ve been hit pretty hard this winter so far 😳. Stay safe and thanks for watching 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@mikemurphy7711]

Can you tell me if your driveway is gravel or paved, and any idea if these snowblowers can easily work with a loose gravel driveway?

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Hi Mike, my driveway is gravel and I haven’t any problems, I always start the season with the skid shoes higher and then drop them as the season goes on but never completely down, it helps you to keep that good base. Hope this helps 👍🏻. Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great week 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@MikeDiCiero]

JD was throwing 2x the amount of snow

[@ajm1268]

GMC or Ford both good machines Kubota does make a good product, John deer as well

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I fully agree with you 👍🏻. Have a great weekend 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@JohnJewel]

Helps when there is rock and bolder chips to have metal

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

It sure does although the JD with the plastic impeller is holding up pretty good because it’s had his fair share of gravel 🤷🏼‍♂️🙂. Have a great week John 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@edf.847]

Yes Luc the round knob beside the loader control plus the lift pto cruise control park break etc. Thanks Ed

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Yes I could do that, 👍🏻

[@wessmund]

I prefer to move snow a good distance I often use the wind direction ta boot even more . orange is looking great !

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Using mother nature to help 👍🏻, thanks for watching 🙂

[@davidbrenton8299]

me it,s john deere all the way i have a jd 180 45 years old 17.5 hp the only thing i replaced was the lect. clutch last year and 1 front tire it,s used all summer and winter

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

My first ever tractor was a JD D140 lawn tractor, I became an all in JD owner, T-shirts, gloves, hats and toys for my grandkids then I sold the D140 and moved up to a JD X380 again all in, then decided to get a X758 and that’s when things changed, see my video #3. I still have a JD E170 lawn tractor but that’s the only JD product I will have. Thanks for watching and commenting David and have a great week 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@davidbrenton8299]

made a bobo it has a 19.5 hp

[@Ford363Stroker]

I'm not a fan of how time consuming it is to mount the JD 54" blower.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Totally agree 👍🏻, thanks for watching Kevin. Have a great day 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@clydecox327]

Look like the JD tractor was bigger, does that make a difference?

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

The JD is bigger and has a bigger engine but I don’t know if it does 🤷🏼‍♂️, thanks for watching and have a great week 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@user-tq5cb3qq5m]

Don't forget that the Kubota is way better looking as well!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

🤫 don’t say that too loud 👍🏻🤣🤣. It sure is 👍🏻. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@Bigdaddyluv68]

Deere FTW

[@ducky1496]

Look like Kubota has a lot more little welds in the housing.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Thanks for watching and have a great one 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@glennvengroff7235]

23hp vs 24.5. The 23hp thew the snow much further

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Powerful little tractor 👍🏻, thanks for watching and have a great weekend Glenn🎄🎅🏻🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@TheRoyceboys]

Je vais recevoir mon kubota b2601 samedi avec se même souffleur j'ai hâte de l'essayer Il semble très fort et bien solide et projète la neige vraiment loin.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Félicitations sur l’achat 👍🏻, vous avez aimé le modèle de GP qu’il avait avant d’acheter sont LX2610, vous allez sûrement l’aimer 👍🏻. J’adore ma souffleuse 👍🏻

[@TheRoyceboys]

@@OrangeismyNewGreen oui mon BX23 fesait très bien la job mais manquait un peu de puissance sur le backoe et le bucket avant je vais aller chercher un peu plus de levage mais pour le reste le Bx est parfait.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

@@TheRoyceboys tu gagne beaucoup avec le B2601 👍🏻

[@Rokonroller]

Kubota by design & obvious performance this test was biased as the JD had total virgin snow

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Thanks for watching and commenting, it was a fun day comparing both tractors. Have a great day 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@Rokonroller]

@@OrangeismyNewGreen hope you’re enjoying the ‘toys’ it’s a rush blowing a nice path through fresh snow. We used to sell Kubota equipment, I assembled & repaired their equip. Good engines & if they are treated properly & maintained regularly they will last as good as the rest. Plus I like the bright orange 🍊 lol

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

@@Rokonroller That’s my goal, taking care of it so it will last 👍🏻. By the way the Deere is my neighbors tractor 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@Rokonroller]

@@OrangeismyNewGreen excellent 👍

[@Wolfiecolada]

on days like today, inches matter ;)

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

😏👍🏻, thanks for watching J and have a great week. 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@wicksfarm4895]

Hey Your in Quebec ,,any how you can have a jd blower with a gear box for the blower

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I noticed they now have that option 👍🏻. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅🏻🎄🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻⛄️

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Here’s my thoughts. I believe JD has a steel impeller to replace the plastic one now. Don’t know if it’s 3 or 4 blade thou. Your didn’t mention the diameter of the impellers. All thou they looked about the same size. The JD blower was pushing snow out the front, and the kubota was not. So the kubota impeller was taking the snow away from the auger better than the JD. And throwing farther. Kubota looked to be better built. But, I would gladly take either one to call my own. Both will move the snow away.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

You are right they both can move the snow better than what I could do with a shovel 😉, thanks for watching Noel 👍🏻
