John Deere 4R Series vs. Kubota L6060 - Performance

Compare tractors and see what premium performance looks like.

[@legotyler29]

kubota grand l 6060 and jd 4r sereies are great tractors own both for my company they 4r is one of the best jd out there now and kubota has their amazing engins both are goods tractors

[@bearkatljl]

I'd like to point out that the JD tractor that is pulling the 2 bottom plow at about the 5 minute mark, is a cab and has wheel weights. Just saying.

[@Rab93]

I think JD are too focused on Kubota bashing and not promoting their own product

[@MinnesotaEric]

Robert S You're right. I passed on the 4066R and Kubota L6060 for a Kioti NX6010. I felt the Kioti had the best cab and I saved 20K not buying the 4066R. The money saved allowed me to purchase commercial level attachments and from my videos people can see that I've really put them to work.

[@shohokuslamdunk]

EricTheOracle May I asked what happened to the Massey? did you not like it?

[@MinnesotaEric]

shohokuslamdunk The Massey is a well-built machine, but I liked the Kioti's cab layout better, and the Kioti was $6,000 less and offered a CAT1/CAT2 three point, a feature if you look at my uploaded videos, I have really taken advantage of!

[@shohokuslamdunk]

EricTheOracle I see. Kioti is a fine machine as well. Especially the new NX series. From your videos the Kioti engine seems to be pretty loud. Is that true? One thing I like about the Massey is that they are very quiet. even my 1533 with a tier 3 engine is pretty quiet.

[@MinnesotaEric]

The engine is way quieter than the 4720. One KZbin user, Kapper, has both a 4720 and a NX6010, and in his first NX video pulling a rear blade clearing snow, Kapper, talks about how much quieter the Kioti is than his 4720. The tier 4 engines with DPF filters are all quieter than their predecessors-if for no other reason, the DPF acts like a muffler.

[@andyc3909]

I like that the three point hitch cylenders are internal on the John Deere. That means there are no holes to chang to get the full range of motion. That has to be a better system for a quick hitch. It is neat that you can move the tractor from outside to aid in implement hookups. The 4000 serries also uses a rear planetary system axel. The John Deere has some great featurs, so I do not understandwhy John Deere does not choose to brag on these things. Instead, they choose to mislead people about the Kubota. Although the Kubota does not offer a self-leveling option on their loader, there loader valve is so much better on the Kubota, that you can raise the loader and curl the bucket at the same time to keep the load level. If you cannot use a loader any better than this guy, Kubota does offer a spill guard option (not mentioned), so you can get a full load on the bucket with out spilling material on the tractor instead of the partial load on a self- leveling bucket. Kubota uses a standard quick coupler for their loader, so you can use any brand of attacments ( offered on the Deere at additional costs) . Moreover, Kubota offers a hydraulic option, so you do not have to leave the tractor seat to swap out front loader attachments. The Kubota also offers Throtltle-up (a button on the joystick to raise engine RPM without changing the ground speed), Hydro Dual Speed (which give you ahi and low with in each transmission range) and Draft Contol. None of these features are offered on The John Deere. Both the Kubota and the John Deere 4720 (listed as a John Deere engine) have agreater displacement than the new 4R serries (Yanmar engine) tractor. The Kubota has a heavier front axel. The Kubota is a heavier tractor (except the cab model). Speaking of the cab model, why is the cab on the 4R serries so tiny compared to any other company? According to the spects, this little cab wieghs more than any of its competitors. People complained about the air conditioner does not keep the cab cool enough. I would think this tiny cab would not keep out the sun very well, although I could be wrong. For some reason, the Kubota uses a 17.5 inch rear R4 tire (as does every one else) wereas the John Deere uses a 16.9 inch R4 tire. In addition, The Down pressure kit sounds like a great opption. However, if I understand John Deere right, you have to loose the Top and Tilt optionin order to use it. I have the treadle pedal, and to me, there is nothing more natural than pushing forward to go forward and backward to go backward. I also know you will get used to which ever style you have very quickly. I think the guy on the Kubota is a retart. Although funny, you know he had to look down inorder to totally miss the petal all together. It would have been even better if he put his foot on the sterring wheel and fender looking for that pedal that mysteriously disaperard. You will also notice that he was able to get a full bucket on the nonself-leveling loader. One last thing, John Deere says that they have the steering components behind the axel to protect them compared to Kubota having their components in front of the axel (although not in this vedeo comparison). Go look at these tractors. Kubota has their components in front of the axel protected by a heavy sheild. The John Deer has their components beneath the front axel with out any protection. In conclusion, I am looking for a larger tractor. These are the highest hp tractors you can get with a hydostatic transmission, and I know I would be happy with either one eventhough they each have their good and bad features. When I see the back of the tractors, I would buy the John Deere. However, when I see the rest of the tractor, I see the lighter front axel, tiny cab and exposed steerin components, I would have to choose the Kubota. I just think they are better built and have more features, and I trust the Kubota engine more. I am waiting to see the new 2019 deluxe L7060 Kubota (M4-071). I love the new John Deere 5R serries tractors. they have everything. The new 5R serries has the nearest thing to a hydrostatic tractor you can get, short of the huge CVT tractors. They are just too big and too expensive.

[@turboearl]

just bought a Kubota after watching this.. thanks JD on selling me on the Kubota :)

[@mi2tn]

How's that working out for ya??

[@turboearl]

no... the joke is definitely on you! lmao!!

[@mlemmon9232]

+mi2tn my kubota is working great for me with 900 hrs on it. How it going for you?

[@mi2tn]

Just did a 600 hour service and still going strong. Thanks for asking and keeping it on tractors. Don't get me wrong, Kubotas are a good tractor and should last a long time. I just happen to prefer what I have. Nothing wrong with orange.

[@dan82667]

I LIKE HOW THEY MAKE THE PERSON ON THE KUBOTA SEEM LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RUN IT,I HAD A JOHN DEER AND TOOK IT BACK IN 3 DAYS AND BOUGHT A KUBOTA,I LOVE IT,JOHN DEER NEVER TELLS YOU THE CONSTANT PROBS THAT THEY HAVE WITH ALL THERE BELLS AND WHISTLES .

[@pyroman6000]

+bone collector OWW, my EARS... Why are you screaming at us in caps lock????

[@scrapmanindustries]

+bone collector i almost bought the 4044 but they didn't want to sell it to me. i called like every other day to see if they got their shipment in and they kept saying no so i went to kubota and got a used mx5000 the very same day. the newer ones are probably nicer and able to do more but kubota isn't nearly as shitty as john deere makes them out to be.

[@davyjohndeere7089]

No. So we can work 24 7

[@strangerdanger1271]

This spot reminds me of George Carlin's bit on adveristers. Premium, deluxe, limited edition, top of the line, no compromise plastic tool box 😂

[@RagNMnkY]

I saw the hydraulic pumps on the John Deere are hanging and on the kubota they were tucked away

[@shohokuslamdunk]

Kubota has auto HDS on their HST+ transmission on the GrandL which isn't offered by John Deere until you get to their 5M series.

[@lukaesitashvili9131]

Tested kubota plow on hard land and tested jd on grass yeah it is fair

[@Deeeeeeeeebs]

You would think a nationally known tractor corporation would know how to use a 2 bottom plow

[@gordonward8333]

I noticed that also about running the plow and other equipment, and they don't know how to run the front end loader either. The guys running the tractors probably are just salesmen. I think these Kubota versus JD ads are kinda stupid for JD to be doing. I don't think it helps make any sales.

[@SuperHerefords]

Gordon Ward I agree. There's both brands here on the farm. Both have their strengths and weaknesses but this constant comparison of JD vs. K makes JD look desperate to me.

[@stuartluig2911]

Yeah, they kept raising it up bc they would let it go down too far, the comparison wasnt even fair bc the kubota had the plow angled at an impossible way to pull, done by john deere obviously to make the kubota look bad, and it was super hard packed ground, the john deere with the plow was angled fine and in softer grass. I dont even know why i still like john deere.

[@marknussbaum8394]

I don't think you can buy a Deere 4R tractor with draft control. (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong) The Kubota L60 has draft control as an option you can purchase. You really can't plow without draft control, so the whole bit about Deere being better able to plow is a joke. For those unfamiliar with draft control, it's an option that let's the tractor automatically maintain tillage tool depth. The only way you can use 3 point hitch tillage tools on a tractor without draft control is if the tillage tool has depth stops, like tires or skids.

[@shanegalvin3971]

No price comparison?

[@tylerknoll8135]

I like how john deere lies in this video about there seat, kubota also has a swivel seat and kubota also has a gear drive opshin that akes like a power shift

[@jamesbirdsall2910]

John Deere tractors are good but they are highly over rated and I don't like this video because of that reason they just focus on all the good points of the John Deere r4 and all the bad points on the Kubota L60 making it sound crap but its actually a good tractor.

[@LegoWormNoah101]

Wonder if Kubota will do the exact opposite.

[@jedetraktor_cz]

i own neither ... but i have to admit , this is a GOOD selling video

[@goodboyringo9716]

Everything is getting priced out of range for the average man. In the $40,000 range for these 4r tractors. It's like you have to get one thing paid for before you buy another, ggg The M5660 has the power reverser , it's just not called power reverser.

[@lukeslegos7808]

At 0:25 the kubota took a bigger scoop lol

[@philippedesroches2956]

Super

[@ThatCRFkid1]

Well that extra tool box under the steering wheel is useless because you can always hang a chain over the three point hitch or put in it the bucket. The only way that John Deere is better is as a lawn tractor or as a tractor for pulling really big implements # kubota is way better

[@haydentaylor8651]

Facts though, around me every farmer has John Deere, only a few have other brands so in my opinion John Deere all the way

[@lorettatroyer7841]

The twin touch pedals well if you have kids and you forget which one is which you can run over one of them so maybe warn them to make sure nobody is around

[@basvandijk3777]

You Guys are comparing 2 whole different tractors

[@coasterfanatic3441]

Um yea, it think that’s the point of the video?

[@brodenmurray4047]

I still rarther have a kubota

[@blakethompson7711]

Also JD doesn't mention that the Kubota also has category II three point hitch, a lot more lift capacity, a six range hydrostatic transmission with 3 power shift on the go speeds, and a throttle up switch on the loader control. I've priced both and you get a lot more for your money with Kubota. I've used tractors for 30 years and I've never needed down pressure on a three point hitch. Don't see the big benefit on that. The JD apparently has more tool storage so you can fix it. If I need tools I walk over to my service truck. Also I like how they plow with the Kubota in hard packed clay and they plow with the JD in soft sod. Horrible sales video. I'll stick with Kubota.

[@mileskaiser90]

They just don't wan't to look bad but they still do.

Kubota is better the kubota has a self leveling system called float and kubota makes there own engines loaders and tractors and kubota does offer a wheel spacer and canopy kits

[@gregadams2340]

+LC450ZAXIS ALL THE MONEY ALSO GOES OUT OF THE U.S. AS WELL. DEERE ALSO CARRIES SELF LEVELING AND FLOAT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE A DEERE OR YANMAR ENGINE VS THE KUBOTA ENGINE ANY DAY. I BET KUBOTA DEALER HAS AN ENGINE IN STOCK. THE DEERE DEALER WOULD HAVE TO ORDER ONE AS THEY DONT EVER NEED THEM!

[@LC450ZAXIS]

kubota has to order to but the point im saying is kubota builds their own engines and doesnt borrow some other companies i like deere just not the fact they dont make their engines and everything under the x series is junk to me

[@benmefford9336]

FYI, John Deere has self leveling, wheel spacers and canopy kits. Based off your engine preference then you must hate Dodge and Chevy because they don't make their own engines either.

[@SuperHerefords]

+Anjie Baum JD contracts out components from all over the world. They are not made in Georgia like JD wants people to believe, they are assembled in Georgia from parts made from almost every nation. The 5065M has an engine Mexico(tag is right on the block), Hydraulics fro Brazil, Front Axle from India(on 2WD) and I'm told the transmission is made in China. The only thing I can find marked made in USA on the 5065M is the Cab. I'm not knocking Deere, they make good stuff but it's things like this video that shows how scared they are of Kubota. Like in the video where it talks about ride and stability and it shows the Kubota zooming across a rough grassy field and then cuts away to the Deere riding on a smooth gravel road. Don't even get me started on that ridiculous turning plow setup, that is plain and simple setup incorrectly on purpose on the Kubota and trying to plow a what appears to be ground that is so compacted it looks like a dirt parking lot and then the Deere is plowing loose dark soil with a layer of grass.

[@greg2gotravel]

Anjie Baum JD is a major corporation that has to answer to stockholders for profit margin which means anything they can do to decrease build cost becomes higher profits at the same price point which is what the stock market requires these days. that don't make it the best thing, but that is what they've got to do to stay alive......
