John Deere 3025E vs Kubota L2501 Comparison

[@patricktimothy3018]

I have had my 3025 for just over a year. Only have 250 hrs but the little tractor has handled everything I have thrown at it without a problem. Nothing wrong with the Kubota but I tried both before I purchased the Deere and haven't regretted it a bit.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

The biggest advantage that John Deere has over Kubota is dealership network and parts availability. They lead the industry there. Having been a John Deere guy my entire life, I think I am fair when I say that I would have to say that when I was shopping for my compact tractor, John Deere was my first stop. I looked at Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Case IH, and Mahindra. For my needs, the Deeres got ruled out rather quickly. I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed in the Deeres. My choice came down to between Mahindra and Kubota. I went with the L2501 and have been extremely pleased with it. It has to move the large square hay bales, drag up logs and tops for firewood, brush hog 100 acres of pasture, and other misc. duties. It has been very easy on fuel and the only problem that I have had with it is the loader valve control arm has come loose from the mounting and had to be fixed in the field twice. That's not bad for a tractor with 300 hours on it. Would I have been happy with a Deere? I am sure I would have. But given what I know now, my best choice was the L2501.

And of course you have to admire the easy to detach front loader on the JD.

[@bronkbuster1981]

I'm sold on the kubota l2501 vs the cheaper made John Deere

And yoy voted for joe biden..way to g0!!

[@brianberg5060]

I own the 2501. The pedal is great. No problems. Easy peasy

[@turbodieseldumptruck]

I have small feet (size 9) and my foot can and does get stuck in between/under kubotas design. I have run both and the kubota is great, but like john deeres direction control way better.

[@johnblake5112]

I got my L2501 a couple months ago. Did not like their HST pedal. Got the manual transmission, not as fluid as having a hydrostatic but a little more torque

[@greysonbarr5382]

My 3025 handles every job I can throw at it

[@PeeterPuncher]

I'd rather have a tractor with cast iron gear cases instead of aluminum.

[@peterkoster5053]

Idk, iv seen some high horsepower cars run aluminum blocks, driveshafts, and wheels. I dont think I'd be scared of that, I mean it's going to have to last at least till the warranty is over.

[@Annon89]

Which one is cast vs aluminum?

[@jakesvideos8204]

John Deere=aluminum

[@KUBBI7488]

you just sold me orange ! haha!

[@jdub229r]

Traded my Massey Ferguson for Kubota L2501HST, compared everything else in its class. JD hydro only has two speeds, everything else in the class have three. JD proprietary quick attach is idiotic.

[@peterkoster5053]

@Panther Property Maintenance john deeres is lighter and has no moving parts.... every attachment company makes ssqa and jdqa attachments for the same price... iv used both and kinda like the jdqa attach better here in Canada because at my job all the skid steer attachments fill with snow being parked outside and then after you use the attachment the face plate fills with hard snow/ice and you always have to chip it or else the pins don't push in, john deeres has a gap so that never happens. I'll run any machine don't get me wrong, either are good systems and to me it wouldn't be a selling point.

[@zmccllc2096]

Owned a 3025E. Not bad really, but now that I know more about tractors, I never would have bought it. -Composite everything. I don't care what they say, I want metal -2 speed HST. Doesn't make a lot of sense... zero sense whatsoever with only 25 HP -The quick attach is like an Apple snack in the face, buy our stuff or leave type of thing.

[@MrManic52001]

Ummmm, so did you pick bobo the clown to operate the very simple pedals?

[@MrManic52001]

Wow just outright lies about having to stop the PTO while going in reverse.

[@andyober9489]

I'm considering the l2501, what are they talking about?? Maybe if you get the manual trans option?

[@MrManic52001]

@@andyober9489 i honestly dont know. An L2501 DT has a single clutch and the PTO is not live continuous, when you shift you must depress the clutch.... but it is so fast you lose minimal PTO RPMs..... the HST gets a live continuous PTO. The l3901DT has a dual clutch, live continuous PTO. So you lose no PTO RPM when shifting F to R.

[@Coaltrain87.]

Kubota is king all day every day

[@tremaineangus6474]

Wonder how much you got paid for this "comparison" ?

[@je4258]

sorry didnot it was a sell

[@danimojoe8563]

Jesus forgives those that unfortunately buy so called tractors that aren’t green John Deere’s are found in Heaven. Others aren’t

[@robertfootball1]

Under 100hp Kubota eats Deere’s lunch and has been for years. Deere isn’t even competitive in the SCUT or CUT tractor market. When I think of modern Deere’s I think of yuppie tractors

[@roflstomps324]

Hemmm... is this really a comparison? The JD with only the loader costs $28K. The Kubota L2501 with a loader, box grader, quick attachment rear mount, and finish mower with an eighteen foot trailer costs $22K... To summarize: JD with having to add the loader - $28K. JD box grader? $2K? JD five foot finish mower? 2K? JD quick attachment mounting? It says contact dealer. So, it must be pretty cheap. Kubota to summarize: $22K. Loader. 18 foot trailer. Four foot box grader. Five foot finish mower. Quick attach mount. $22K. Considering that you could get the L3301HST loader and backhoe for $32K... I think someone is comparing apples to oranges... Did I mention that the L3301 is 30 HP? No? Oh... yeah...

[@derrickdebaere1954]

List price is $24,000 on the John Deere 3025E with a loader..... so nice try

[@BretAllenStudios]

Derrick DeBaere Right. But the all metal Kubota with superior loader function & heavy duty axles is 20k with the loader. I paid 21,600 for the tractor, loader, slip clutch heavy duty rotary mower plus a box blade. Nice try! 😂

[@spencerstroh2084]

Derrick DeBaere yeah but it’s junk lol

[@roflstomps324]

@@derrickdebaere1954 It's a little late but my 'nice try' was off the JD website configurator. I'll run it again... Oh, look. You are right. Seven months later and it is $26,500 for the tractor and loader w/ all the comparable items that came with my Kubota. Oh, but you said $24, 000, right? Yeah, no. Still wrong. It doesn't come with a trailer, brush mower or box blade... So, yeah. My argument stands.

[@longtu01]

@@roflstomps324 just got off the phone with JD sale and he quoted me $17,500 plus tax. That includes front loader and box blade

[@TSemasFl]

Well that sure convinced me, I'd rather have a all metal tractor, than a overpriced plastic wannabe tractor.

[@KUBBI7488]

JD is cheap made tractor now!

[@chalemi]

And with the John Deere you get a plastic tractor! Fun stuff when the pieces start breaking off. Woohoo!!! Better WAKE UP John Deere! More and more metal tractors coming out.

[@nicholasverellen8279]

Steering rod sits lower than the axle🤔 plastics usually cracks in the long run(why didn’t they show the Kubota spilling rocks on its hood?) John Deere’s loader can only do one function at a time. Kubota can multifunction. And if the PTO is anything like my dads tractor then you don’t need the clutch to engage it

[@shannonpaschal9493]

The loader can do 2 functions at the same Time. I have one so I know trust me.

[@nicholasverellen8279]

Shannon Paschal oh yeah? Is it an E series or R series?

[@shannonpaschal9493]

@@nicholasverellen8279 E

[@nicholasverellen8279]

Shannon Paschal Ok. Maybe John Deere changed that recently because they did NOT before

[@JoshuaOverman]

Because the rocks won’t hurt the Deere but if they did it on the Kubota they would just dent the hood for no reason. They do dent I’ve seen it

[@johnvansovich682]

Composite lol😅. Fancy word for cheap plastic junk. Look at the foot pedals & the thin met they are attached to. Kubota is twice the tractor of the JD. Have owned both. If you want a Cadillac buy a Kubota. If you want a Kia, buy a Deere

[@BRadWilson3]

Pedal on Kubota is stupid!

[@chitownassassin3098]

Aaww9s

[@jakesvideos8204]

That’s why you buy a standard transmission kubota, a real man’s tractor!

[@murphslife6481]

That 3025 is junk

[@Oouther1]

My friend has the 3025E, I have a CT2035. His is a great tractor!

[@deanbarr5740]

I am sorry to say I own a J.D.3025. Worst tractor I ever owned. Wimpy hydraulics, the electric PTO doesn't always work. Just a crappy machine.
