John Deere 317g Vs. Kubota SVL 75-3 | With Lifting Demo

[@tjoe1980]

I just received my 317G from my dealer about two weeks ago and it is AWESOME!!! Yes it might be more expensive than a Kubota but you get what you pay for. I'm not knocking Kubota but it just wasn't for me,plus my dealer is a great guy and has been in contact with me a few times just to see how I like it so far! Plus your videos helped me make my decision so I really appreciate you taking the time to make these awesome videos! Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

kubota all the way

[@carolinasandoval7476]

About how much did it run for $$

[@andrevernon1932]

Can you get the John Deere with the door that slides up overhead? In my opinion that is a superior set-up. I recently saw a buddy unable to get out of his CTL with swing-out door because of dirt/mud accumulated at bottom of door after loading a dump truck. I had help him get out. I also have heard of some operators, perhaps inexperienced ones, destroying the swing out door by raising the bucket with the door open. Can't happen with Kubota, and I can operate with the door fully open when I want to, which is a very significant amount of time. Did Deere greatly increase ground clearance to be as good as Kubota, or Takeuchi? It looks like the Deere still has very little. That does matter. Can you get the Deere with the twin, easy flip armrests like Kubota has? With the work I do, I frequently get on, off, and back on the machine. I hate the horseshoe armrest that takes much more effort to raise all the way over my head. The Kubota armrests are much quicker, and require very little effort to flip each way. In fact, I can flip each with one finger of each hand. Off, and on dozens of times per day, and it matters. And look how much wider the bottom of the Kubota door opening is. It is easier to get into, and out of. Those things really matter. How about ergonomics? For me, Kubota positioned the hand controls exactly where they should be. Exactly. I do not know about Deere, but Kubota is the only brand that I know for sure got that exactly right. You talked about Kubota's display, but did not show what Deere has. Is it old school gages, or LCD, or what? If it is a LCD, or electronics, it's surely going to be fragile no matter what brand. Frankly, I wish I could still get another brand-new Kubota SVL75, the original. I believe it was the best, or certainly one of the best, CTL's ever built. I have not worked the SVL75-3 on a job to know how well it does. We all know that lifting ability is only one measure of performance, and there are several other factors in overall performance. You are right about the auxilliary connections on the Kubota being not well guarded, and Kubota should improve that. I do not know about leg room in the Deere, but Kubota has the most that I've experienced in CTL's. Perhaps the Deere has some advantages, but the Kubota definitely has some advantages, and ones that I consider to be important. I very frequently spend entire days (9 - 10 hours / day) operating my CTL. I do not sell equipment, but I do own, and operate equipment.

The touchscreen can be interacted with while the hydraulics are activated by using the knob and switches on the right side of the console. I’m satisfied with my 75-3.

[@TheGrasspond]

Love this channel. Believe it or not you convinced me to buy a 325g in stead of a Cat 289. I will stick with my Cat excavators but Deere all of the way on skid steers. Next buy will be a 335P

Kubota skids reliefs are set weak from factory, a few small adjustments and that 75 will pickup more that that 317, maybe you should do a comparison vid of working on these machines, serviceability ect

So if I void my warranty on the Kubota, it will lift more. Got it. 👌

Well my 75-3 will pick up on side of a 40ft high cube shipping container no problem. I think they turned down relief for the video. I rented a 75-2 for a month before I recieved my 75-3. 75-3 is much stronger.

[@joshtarver6488]

Why wont the kamala pick up that concrete block? What was that buzzing sound it made when it tried to pick up the block?

[@isucowboyvet]

Relief was definitely turned down on the Kubota, my 75-3 will lift the rear end off the ground if you pick up something too heavy even with weights and full tank of fuel. Typical Deere misinformation.

[@twoguncorcoran4733]

Lift capacity is what most JD demos are based on, not overall job performance. It’s give and take with equipment anymore As well as dealer support..There are drawbacks to the Deere IMO like terrible visibility from pretty much every angle but forwards and the booms bending-flexing under load. Our local dealer had around 8, 331g-333g booms sitting in a scrap pile behind the dealership. I asked why and really didn’t get the answer.. another local contractor bought a 333g used and his was apparently bent a little when he bought it.. The dealership did replace it so good for JD dealer support on his.

[@TheHelgadog]

When will John Deere get the better door like kubota? I got stuck in a bobcat loader with boom raised and a boom pin came loose.

[@digginandbuildinwv7012]

Uh where is noisy yanmars made? Didn't Deere go woke too? Right to repair? Who has most expensive parts? JD. There is good and bad on all machines, a good salesman doesn't need to bash the competition.

[@bossturbo]

Tell me more about the doors. 🤔

[@JasonEsker-b6v]

There is a dome light in the Kubota, and you can make changes on the touch screen while in motion, why don’t you mention the price?

[@Vega02flaco]

I know deere make good construcción equipment. But I like to see bobcat t595 or t66 vs 317g.

[@brianhumpal491]

Well that was painful to watch. Regardless of brand, I'd be gone with that guy as my salesman.

[@jamiestrout1991]

Pull the starter out of the 317 than we will talk , they do have better hydraulic but between emissions and serviceability they suck

[@javiermelendez7807]

Maybe he should rev up the Rpms on the Kubota as well

[@rontopping2048]

317g is a little tank. Few things would make it better, push front of arms out to improve visibility. Connect joysticks to air seat , improve quick attach system, optional suspension undercarriage, 1 piece cab to reduce noise.

[@hismail4635]

You can absolutely turn down the radio or access all screen functions while in full operation simply using the dial. Not difficult. I have owned both the 317 and currently the 75-3. My Kubota dealer is awesome. The 317G is more expensive than the 75-3 so I would expect it to have more features.

[@rontopping2048]

I own bobcat t66 and kubota svl75-3. Visibility over your shoulders is non existent on kubota. I know it has backup camera but I have been operating for 30 years . I Always look back. 25 hours up for sale. To much liability on job site.

[@tractorguy84]

The Hydraulic are turned down. You can manage all settings on the screen while using the hydraulics, it's just on simple setting to change on the screen in the settings menu. The cover over the lock cylinder on the John Deere is Bad idea because it gets full gravel, dirt and damages the cylinder or will not lock or unlock because it is too full and has to be removed and cleaned out.

[@tylerknoll8135]

He doesn't care he just wants to make john deere look good

[@andrevernon1932]

Oh, and about hooking the chain, you are just using the wrong type of hook for the Kubota.

[@Youandfourothers]

Boss Just barely got a 333g only other machine I’ve run is and older bobcat t300 and let’s just say the Deere is nice! But glad to see kubtota responded to "you can’t get that on a kubota”

[@claymore9359]

Had a good laugh when he grabs the manual at the end and points out that the manual was printed in Japan.. same place John Deere's engines are made lol. Super biased video

[@scubastevesdestiny]

I thought this was a comparison video? It sounds like it's only a dog the Kubota video because I'm trying to sell John Deere. You really discredit the validity of your video when you don't equally point out flaws in the John Deere as well. You are very much incorrect on the touch screen part. You have the option of turning the hydraulic lock on or off within the system. You can change the settings all day long as you move with ease...

[@bonusfootage8498]

I run both. Kubota way better door. Way better price. Way bigger cab. And way way way superior controls. We call our Deere the jerky John Deere. Horrible electric over hydraulic controls on the Deere. On a cold winter morning it's so jerky it's hard to even change implements. Kubota is smooth as silk with the hydraulic pilot controls. Love my Kubota. Never buy a Deere again. Overpriced like all Deere equipment has gone.

Didn't mention the $10k Florida tax on all these machines. Also my 75-3 works and digs circles around my 317g. Keep digging sand friend and actually try to maintain the JD lol.

[@survivalguyfyi5718]

Despite all the advantages there’s two big ones that are no goes for me with Deere. The biggest being the swing out door. I need a machine that I can load and unload welders, generators, etc..that are chained to my bucket. I’m a one man show so I don’t have anyone outside the machine that can hook and unhook my chains because Deeres loader has to be all the way on the ground or raised above the cab. I also can’t run the machine with the door open to communicate with anyone during the days when I have help. So that right there kills it for me. Second is Deeres absolute software ban to its customers. I can’t take my machine to a dealer every time I need to flash the drive. I’m on a budget and I do my own maintenance and repairs. If I know I’m gonna be locked out of the software, I need to shop elsewhere. There’s also Kioti/Huyundai who now make skidsteers with overhead doors. They’ve gotten with the program so they are options as well. I’ll look at the shortfalls with the Kubota and compare to Kioti and Huyundai for my next machine.

[@charlesarledge9520]

[@JamieWiebe-w3l]

You must be loosing a lot of sales to Kubota lol Theres a dome light. Theres a setting to turn off the screen lock while hydraulics are unlocked. Id be curious to see how heavy the concrete block is. The back end didnt even get light while lifting. Something is off-setup.

[@derekbryant6137]

What would happen if you turned the pump up on the Kubota all together put a stronger hydraulic pump in it doesn't really matter I'm interested in the John Deere I'm interested in that 317g just simply because it doesn't have all of that government fluid crap on it

[@DavidDarrow]

If you're strictly using a CTL as an occasional forklift, then buy a JD. If you're doing actual dirt work and/or spending significant time in the machine, trust me, you want to be in the comparatively monstrous cab of a Kubota or Takeuchi or even JCB. The JD's cab is a damn straight-jacket in comparison. I don't care if the JD can lift 10x and run on free magic pixie dust. The cab is 100% unlivable.

[@joshtarver6488]

Yeah - Id want the weaker machine that lets all the dust in with that loud clattery door on the kamala

I hear that all the time, but Deere parts are less, and you need fewer to keep the machine running. I don't understand where that comment comes from?

[@MrCPPG]

Not surprised at all. Kubota sucks. My brother bought a brand new grand L tractor with a grapple. The damned thing couldn't lift a single log.

[@tylerknoll8135]

What are you taking about they have a great lifting capacity at least the ones with the LA1055 loader and was your brother trying to lifr a 10 ft diameter 30 ft long log because that would explain it

[@brianlb78]

You must be full of it, I have a new grand l 4060 and it will lift over 1500lbs to max height.

[@shawngraham1481]

John deers right to repair makes it a hard pass for me.

[@EvergladesTV]

Can you elaborate? We are the dealer, we offer John Deere’s service software to anyone that wants it. We are fully transparent and want the customer to have every right to repair their equipment.

[@boobacockaa]

@@EvergladesTV- 1) you know exactly what he meant. Don’t play stupid. Deere is worse than Apple when it comes to repairs. 2) if what you say is true, you are exceedingly rare. 1 in about 3,500 dealers I’d say.

[@voogru]

@@EvergladesTV I think what he means is John Deeres anti-right to repair stance. Sometimes people can't take things back to the dealer (time constraints and/or costs), and they need things fixed quickly. Think of it this way, if you get a flat tire on your car, you can take it to any tire shop. If you water pump on a car fails, pretty much any independent mechanic can fix it. Now imagine if automakers serialized all of their parts and made it so that only the dealers could install new tires/water pumps, and you had to use their tires. You could physically replace the tires with perfectly functioning tires, but the computer system detects the tires as counterfeit and doesn't let you put it in drive.

Must say something about deere, it's not longer the company of 50 years ago. Deere is a sellout and sucks. No one cares that the manual or product was made in Japan, USA made products aren't what they use to be. Most Deere stuff is made in Mexico anyway. YOu seem to think made in Japan is a bad thing, let's check the reliability and quality of a Japanese and US made product.
