Great impartial review. Glad I bought Bobcat. JD folks are arrogant. And, the price difference is about 10k for the green paint.

[@v5iov280]

The bobcat mowing deck isn't auto-attach but it is drive over. No need to manually slide it like he describes.

[@jimmin9802]

Yea you raised the cat bucket way higher and shook it pretty good, deer was way closer to the groung and you pucker factored the seat to keep it stable.

[@motomatt6752]

I bought the bobcat cr2025 saved enough money over the John deer to buy some attachments instead of green paint. Bobcat all the way and it’s been great no issues

[@kevincasey9551]

This makes me never want to buy anything from Everglades.

[@KyleBurk-z5h]

Still looking for a impartial review.

[@JFroMG_YT]

Tell me your a John Deere sells rep without telling me you are. This was just a video of him bashing bobcat to sell more John Deere tractors

[@jhohnerman2223]

Bashing?? 😂😂 He's clearly explaining to you why bobcat is a weak/cheap little machine. John Deere makes the better tractors PERIOD..

[@cisco1dog]

@@jhohnerman2223yes, bashing. Don’t mind a sales man being an advocate, but the safety hold bar blocking the fuel fill, makes it obvious he’s hunting for differences. No wonder there’s thousands of used JD tractors for sale used that are more than new ones with warranty. Heck, Rural King has an 8 year warranty on a brand new tractor that will do everything the JD will do for almost half the price. Green paint is expensive.

[@_P0tat07_]

All dealers do the same thing. Doesn’t matter the brand.

[@carlblakey2783]

I have a Bobcat 1021 and at half the cost I could not justify the Deere cost.

[@AA-mk4pu]

Bingo

[@AV8R_1]

Was looking for a non-biased comparison. Guess I'm not going to find that here... Later.

[@nik57nik57]

You been in business for + 50 years and you havent understood the concept that when your bitching against your competitor you are the one that look bad after all.

[@Wiscokid10]

What is the price difference

[@cisco1dog]

About $10k, I list bought the Bobcat.

[@kennyoboy642]

It’s all well and good but is John Deere worth 7 thousand dollars more for a subcompact tractor my answer No for what I needed the BoBcat works great and with fluid rear tires it lifts fine.

[@jhohnerman2223]

He just showed you why its worth it. But if you like cheap machines then maybe bobcat is for you 🤷‍♂️

[@cisco1dog]

@@jhohnerman2223it’s not 150% better.

[@scottwitkowski1298]

The Deere is a better machine and you could have done an actual review that didnt make you appear like a sleezy salesman.

[@cisco1dog]

Might be “better” in some ways, but $10k better?

[@scottwitkowski1298]

@@cisco1dog Thats where the debate starts. My problem with the Bobcat is, they aren't going to be good for parts and service in the future. This is a contracted Korean unit. Might as buy straight from KIOTI, but thats a weak dealership infrastructure. If you buy the Deere, you can be confident that parts or service will be available forever.

[@cisco1dog]

@@scottwitkowski1298I can source a lot of parts for $10k. Just bought mine, delivered today. Good dealer, good service department and salesperson. Problem with most tractor dealers is service. I also spent my career working on machinery and trucks. Retired now, and working on a small place. If I had a farm, green would probably be my favorite color. But for the little guy with a couple acres and a driveway?

[@coreyheuman1140]

Maybe you should choose the hard way periodically. You make it seem like John Deere is for Swoft Mamas boys. I am projecting a bit; I used to cut five acres around my house with a scythe and recently bought a zero turn an the bobcat so I could focus on other projects and speed them up. I still get to mow with my scythe but watching you complain about the dumbest things makes me worried I too will get super Swoft.

[@wraith3951]

Not to be a dick but the Bobcat does have a Front End Loader Lever lock. It’s on the top of that boot and u just push it in to lock it and pull it out to unlock it.

[@horseblinderson4747]

Be lied about a bunch of stuff.

[@davidmengle8269]

Definitely a trash video. He didn't even try to be fair. The JD didn't even lift the weight very high like the bobcat and I can't believe the engine sounded like that.

[@zacharysandberg]

It was obviously a very used bobcat with a worn fan belt. Stupid review.

[@lespaul85]

I can't even make it half way through this review. You point out such strange stuff VERY (not) impartially and then say how bad it is not to have a control lock when you close up right on the CONTROL LOCK!

[@doolittlegeorge]

For the right price I'll take the bobcat!

[@tonymcclendon-hobbytime7727]

You get what you pay for. John deere is better

[@larrychalcraft9083]

Forgot to compare price where the biggest difference is! Also JD has plenty of green painted machinery made by lower quality manufacuters - the shame!

[@horseblinderson4747]

They're only assembled in America by good proud union labor ... Making all of about $14/hr. But hey the company as a whole cleared 61 billion last year and fired them all anyway.

[@duanehamdorf2228]

I've got a 1023e. Been a good little tractor .can't lift shit.i bought a ck2510 kioti instead of a 2025r because the new 2025r has the same loader on it that my 1023e has ! JD has really cheapened their tractors . Too bad.

[@horseblinderson4747]

Both those deer models were known to snap with a backhoe on them. And the 2025e is tippy as hell.

[@rickbowden809]

Haaaaaaa That guy didn’t need a drink!!! He needed to go change his drawers after having schatt himself on that Bobcat !!!!!!!

[@montycnash]

He also lifted the weight a lot higher and was jerking it up and down which he didn't do on the Deere. also looks like the Deere also has a grab handle by the fuel filler. Then look at the Deere's bucket disconnects your under the tractor to unhook.

[@scottgrossman9080]

This guy sells J.D you can tell for sure jesus!!!

[@Tuscan1212]

Surprised the John Deere could only lift that weight about a foot off the ground.

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Thanks for sharing

[@wildbill23c]

You forgot an important step when using a loader...BALLAST....

[@michaelgaribay7450]

LMAO!!

[@garybucci7331]

This isnt how you sell things....

[@PeytonC09]

He’s given crap to Bobcat😂😂

[@AA-mk4pu]

This video is a F’ing joke

[@mgb57usa]

This guy is a joke

[@ericsteele6257]

This seems like a very biased comparison

[@billgates-xr9hs]

I’ll take m Kioti over both of them

[@cisco1dog]

The Bobcat is a Kioti

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

Kioti is the actual manufacturer of the Bobcat 😂
