John Deere 5065E VS Kubota M7060 | Product Walkaround and Overview

[@hoke0818]

I have owned the JD5065E and now own the Kubota for about 1 1/2 years. I have 3 wheel weights on each rear wheel and liquid in them. It is much more user friendly than the JD. I'm 78 years old and I've owned and operated tractors for many years. Years ago JD were better built than they are today. Kubota is about like owning a Honda or Toyota, you don't have down time like the JD. I put about 500 hours a year on the tractor. I've bought 3 new JDs and 2 of them had major problems .No more JDs for me.

[@WesternEquipment]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. What kind of issues are you seeing?

[@AHH24219]

I know this is several years old but I just watched and laughed my rear end off. You could be the best used car sales of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WesternEquipment]

I’m going to just chalk this up as a compliment. Thanks for watching!

[@codylevy5270]

I love how he tries to turn positives from the Kubota to a negative- “the battery is the first thing you see under the hood of the Kubota with nothing over it, but John Deere’s is under a bunch of stuff and is harder to get out..... but it’s better.” “The skid steer attachments are great, but you risk being stupid and picking up attachments that are too big.” This is a pretty biased “comparison” and makes me want to get a Kubota even more, just because of this guys horrible comparison technique.....

[@liddell157]

Cody Levy this guy is a clown... did you notice how he reversed how lock and unlock the skid steer attach pins lol . Typical dumb ass if you ask me

[@WesternEquipment]

I would be glad to watch a comparison video that you would recommend? Maybe I can learn something? But I feel most are just as biased or worse than mine. Maybe not...

[@jasonfoster2909]

Watching this a year later, but what struck me the most is the fact he was going on about keeping things away from damage: steering, tool box, etc. but the hydraulic system for the loader was just “convenient” on the Deere. I much prefer protected than convenient. Also the battery box...on Kubota, it comes with a standard door latch and steps to ease entry into the tractor. Won’t work with that battery box on the Deere. He didn’t mention that at all. However, I’m sure, the trade in value will make up for it in the end game...like ranchers don’t keep their tractors for very long (maybe they get rid of Deere more often).

[@The_One_BABA]

@@WesternEquipment just “don’t be biased”… that’s all.. you don’t need to watch a video.. you have to remove yourself.. point out the good of each and the disliked of each, equally. It’s not hard. That way the consumer can make up their own mind. I personally steer away from biased reviews of anything… it just turns me off. Other than that, (which is in response to your comment), I appreciate the time on the review. I went with Kabota over Deere, tractor to tractor, but had a Deere before the switch, and they are both great units.

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

And as big of a Deere fan as I am, the number one pet peeve I have with Deere is that they need to do away with their JD quick attach loader attachments and go ahead and standardize to SSQA like everyone else has. I know it’s optional on a Deere but it needs to be standard, it’s 2018! That is just Deere’s need to feel exclusive.

[@mesh1248]

Yes but ssqa is junk with any bit of dirt that gets caught it won’t attach right

[@pilotmatt293]

SSQA is not strong enough for this size of equipment. If you don't want a Deere attach system, get a global or euro mounting system. Much stronger.

[@Eric998765]

John Deere definitely seems more user friendly and ergonomic. The big neat thing about the Kubota is the ability to use skid steer attachments. I would love to be able to run a small forestry mulcher from a front end loader and not have to buy a CTL. As far as battery placement, I don't think I really like either. On the Kubota it will be blocking air flow to the radiator, but on the John Deere it is hanging down and could catch on a log or something if you're being careless. The metal box it is in seems sturdy but you're still losing some ground clearance.

[@WesternEquipment]

Great points! You can buy an adapter to make any loader into the skid steer style hookup. They can be a little pricey, but they will give your tractor that versatility you're looking for!

[@timtwing5886]

Well idk what kind of tractor you have but I will tell you most skid steer attachments are not meant for compact tractors especially the smaller compacts. These two tractors could support a lot of skid steer attachments because they have high loader capacity but attachments that are made for skid steers require a high hydraulic flow(GPM) to operate up to efficiency. A lot of people think they can just take any attachment that was made for a skid steer(grapples, hammer drills, tillers, duster, ect) and just put them on the front of their compact tractors. Just because it fits doesn't mean it belongs and most of the time it doesn't.

[@WesternEquipment]

Lets be honest here, the sun will deteriorate most things when left out...

[@pegalis]

Had a Deere to work my orchard on 40 acres in Nevada. The sun out here would make most plastics look like you put a torch on it. The hood Did fade over the years, but never got brittle. I put some serious gouges into it from branches etc. The tool boxes and covers did get brittle though and cracked out. But it was nice that as he said, its the same color all the way through. 'shrugs' Yeah, its a gimmick. But I can see why they did it. Plus it was nice not having the hood be scorching hot from the sun. My next tractor will be something other than a Deere due to how they Love making everything proprietary or not user serviceable. But the plastic hood, in my opinion was a good idea.

[@WesternEquipment]

You are correct on the bucket system, but the skid steer style hookup is an option on this loader for no additional cost. There is also the option for the Global style hookup as well! We should have been more thorough when explaining that part. As far as the sun cracked or damaged panels, we have not seen it yet. But this could be due to location. Thanks for watching!

Well, obviously you can fill the tires on the JD as they did on the Kubota. But the real point that should be made is that the Kubota uses lighter castings and hence the weight difference, you're getting a bit less tractor.

I have a John Deere 5320 cab 64 hp pretty much the same tractor as what is shown here a 5065E and the battery is in the same place. On my 5320 you have to take the step off before getting to the battery same setup. A person would be wise to cut out a peace of rubber to fit on top of the battery so the battery will not short out because the battery terminals can hit the top of the casing that the battery sets in if the tractor bounces by going over rough ground or a ditch.

[@smjones4238]

Kubota is made same place they always have. John Deere isn't made in Illinois/Iowa like they were when I owned them. I now own a Kubota, just don't need the dealership hassle that JD seems to have gravitated to. The computers run so much of everything, and JD will not allow anyone else to work on them. I don't farm anymore, just rent out the land. After listening to the comments that I get from the people doing the farming is that the big tractor companies are really having a showdown over pirate software allowing end users to access their equipment computers and 'cheat the dealers' out of their monopoly. Combines were the worst complaint I heard. They have so many sensors all over them and if a wire breaks, comes unplugged or a sensor just fails, dealer has to come out and run diagnostics and then replace the part. $$$$$ Also the maintenance is such a time consuming thing that it upsets harvest times. The days of farming have changed drastically as have the farmers. Hang in there, people. Ex SD farmer Michael in Colorado.

Great comparison and very informative. Could tell you favor the Deer though, LOL but great comparison. On the FEL disconnect you could argue the placement on the inside would better protect the connections, where on the Deer it is outside where it could be struck and damaged.

This is the first review that sounds like a CNN report. Also I think there's a spot in the Kubota cab that could harbor rattlesnakes where the JD has a place for a mongoose to live comfortably. I was shocked I didn't here that comparison. So, I like that on the JD they have tattooed how to start instructions on the key so they never forget! Not fair to discriminate against people who need daily instructions. "Outside hydraulic front couplers -- easily grabbed from the outside." yeah by a tree. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be critical, but this was funny!!! I think they are trying to impeach the Kubota, but noticed they did paint the foot throttle Kubota orange.

Tell the viewers how it slides out for easy cleaning as to where The John Deere does not. The M7060 Kubota is a all around tough Tractor. The Deere is nice it's over priced But, JD has a good resale market. I would say Kubota is John Deere's biggest competitor.

My take is most manufacturers make solid well built tractors that can do an honest days work. But however what I think most people overlook is the dealer support; it's more important to have a dealer that can support you then it is a tractor that looks better on paper or has more weight ect. Number one every tractor is going to be ballasted anyway unless you're literally only using it for light duty tasks such as bush hogging a field where that has relatively even terrain and doesn't need all the extra traction. Number two when the tractor does break and all of them do, will your dealer be there to help you; how good is their customer support? For me personally whether that tractor is green, orange, blue, red or other I'm gonna go with the one who has the best dealer support long after the sale and which one I don't have to drive over an hour one way to get parts and service for

Your weight test is skewed. You assumed the Kubota’s tires were full. Not everyone fills them full. Filling them half way gives the best of both worlds. It adds some weight but keeps a softer ride and better fuel efficiency. Mine on my 7060 are half full for those reasons...

[@WesternEquipment]

Good point! We will be more precise next time!

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

Awesome Video! My dream tractor is a 5075e, I have a 4044m now but can’t wait to upgrade it one day. I’m happy without a cab though, I’d break too much glass in the woods lol. Kubota is by far the one and only “true” competitor to Deere, but I just can’t bring myself to like any of their products enough to buy one over a Deere. Thanks for the video!

[@brettadams417]

Made it to 18:44…as I couldn’t take any more stupidity!! Up to this point the only valid points have been the reflective triangle for on road use and the tool box however the deers toolbox is in a more accessible but reduces your visibility for that front left tire. Every single other point was either mute or an advantage to the Kubota or a bad thing to the deer. Was painful to endure…I should get a medal for making it as far as I did!! Best wishes to all!!

Jd all day. It's just a more comfortable operator friendly tractor.

[@WesternEquipment]

I agree with this completely!

[@frenchriversprings]

Will it’s pretty obvious that he is bias toward John Deere. I think the Kubota and John Deere are the 2 best for higher resale value. I am not bias between the two. They each have there pros and cons. So in the end I think there pretty equal. I like the John Deere 3 point hitch because it lifts higher than the Kubota. I hate the John Deere loader as it is way too far in front of the front tires. In the bush, it’s in the way and makes the ass end of tractor lift off the ground much easier during heavy loader work. But yeah it lifts higher. Still I’m voting for Kubota on the loader. Quick loader connect is easy access on the John Deere but looks better and tucked in on the Kubota. Also less chance to catch on a tree with the Kubota. The Kubota offers wider front tires than the John Deere. I like that the John Deere is heavier than Kubota. More traction to skid large trees. The Kubota offers cast Iron rear rims for extra weight. I don’t think the John Deere E Series offers the cast Iron rims. I much prefer the location of the battery on the Kubota. And the serial number location, like seriously!! Kubota has the 4 cylinder engine and is less noisy and less vibration that the 3 cylinder John Deere. Not sure which tractor exhaust location I like best. The Cab on the Kubota wins. See how the gears, throttle and everything else is much more at reach. And for the vents, personally I prefer them shooting on my legs and lower body than on top of my head drying out my eyes. And it’s very important for the foot throttle to be colour coded… seriously !! Oh yeah also very important to have decal on your loader arm. You never know you might get dementia and forget what the functions are. The John Deere has the planetary gears on the front wheels. I think that is better than the Kubota but not 100% sure. So in those two specific tractors I would chose the Kubota. If I would buy a tractor with over 100 hp then I think I would go with the John Deere.

If i buy a 65hp tractor I don't expect only 53hp at pto the kubota 7060 pto hp is 64hp from 71hp, 6hp loss instead of 12hp loss on the Deere conveniently not mentioned. So biased

[@WesternEquipment]

Here is something else to consider, Kubota does not send the 7060 for testing at the Nebraska Tractor Data Tests, so in all honesty we do not have a way of showing their rate of loss, otherthan taking their word for it. Where as John Deere does send their 5065E, and results can be found on the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory website. The true test and way to know would be to put both tractors, side by side, in the field doing the same task and then compare performance. You say I am biased, which may be true, but let's also not hide the fact that Kubota may or may not be telling the whole truth. Just food for thought.

Awesome!

[@builderbob4167]

Capacities of loaders? Three point lift capacities? Fuel efficiency? Maybe explain the fact that the E series is Deere's "economy" version of the better tractors they build so they can be competitive. If he wasn't wearing that shirt, I'd have to challenge his tractor comparison skills. There really are no stand-out leaders in this sized tractor market. It really comes down to access to parts/service and color preference!

I’m in the market for a tractor in the next month. 45-55 hp tractor. Why is the John Deere PTO hp terrible on the 5045, 5055? I’m researching and studying exactly what I need and I’m new to tractors

[@WesternEquipment]

Did you find yourself a tractor?

[@rexregister2963]

I purchased a kubota m4d-071 in october 2019 and thought they were close to Deere but I was badly mistaken, it would compare to a deere 5075, the steering is weak, the air is weak the loader leaks down while you are using the tractor, the loader valve has been replaced once but it's still leaking down if the hoses are disconnected from the tractor it holds so it has to be in the valve, it has 3 remotes on the back and all 3 leak down all with 150 hours

[@WesternEquipment]

I have heard these same issues with a few.

[@WesternEquipment]

There is a bright side to this maybe, If you do want to get rid of this m4d-071 Deere does offer some pretty hefty incentives when you trade in a competitive brand. Might check with your local Deere dealer.

[@rexregister2963]

[@debbieschmidt9316]

Nevermind that he passed right over the proprietary RPM button to hold rpm's while pumping extra fluid to the pto. Oh and the nifty dual latch on the loader that gives you the choice of an extra foot to height or extra power for a heavier load.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you!

[@wolfeman79]

So at the end he doesn't mention the lift capabilities which I know why because Kabota out performs JD and has a adjustable lift rather you want height or more capacity with the moving of a pin on each side for the cylinder which JD doesn't have

[@WesternEquipment]

Honestly, I did not purposely leave out the lifting capacities but now I will have to do some research. I'm wishing I would have put this info in this one. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@tylercorbin8073]

What about fuel weight?

[@WesternEquipment]

This is some thing I didn't mention but the tractors did have comparable fuel levels. The Kubota probably actually had more since it was a trade-in.

[@donniebargo964]

My mt573 is a 11 hundred pounds heavier than the deere and add 13 hundred for fluid and its much bigger and heavier for half the money. And I have had good luck with mine so far

@@WesternEquipment it weighs just over 10K. The silly argument JD salesmen push is just that, silly. M7060s can be ordered is so many different configurations it makes that talking point irrelevant to anyone that does their homework but these videos aren't focused on those people only poor customers that don't know better. The comment about the SMV sign is silly too. The only way I ever know my sign is there is looking from outside the tractor. It blocks zero visibility from inside.

[@jerrydikerson7823]

Put cast rears on the Kubota and fluid in both tractors and the Kubota is heavier than the Deere.

[@rothamfarm1682]

Jerry Dikerson yes it is the 7060 we have has load tires and cast rims and it is heavier

[@WesternEquipment]

That may be true, but the intent was to show the differences and comparisons in these two tractors that were spec'd as closely to one another as possible. Thanks for watching!

[@angryroosterfreight3681]

It’s like watching an infomercial where the guy can’t use a q-tip and stabs himself in the ear. Orange has steering in front with guards which is bad, Green has steering on rear of axles which is good, Orange has hydraulics on inside of frame for protection which is bad, Green has hanging on the outside unprotected which is good. Kubota vents you have to turn to point them at you and the throttle pedal is black, everyone knows this is dangerous. JD has all vents to cool your head and shoulders because JD knows you won’t need to cool any balls between your legs.

I just bought a 5075e in August 2018. The new holland I had was a lot better machine for handling on hills. I do like things about the john deere over the new holland but the JD has about 2 times the fuel consumption then the NH. Will i buy another JD? I'm not sure yet

[@WesternEquipment]

Hmmm interesting! We will have to look into a fuel consumption video!

[@briannelson146]

I don’t agree with the comparison at all. He shows the differences between the two which is great but he is clearly a JD fan. Pretending the battery location on the JD is the best but why wouldn’t you want it under the hood. JD has it so low that if you go through water your in trouble. Also talks about resale which is just not the case. Both great machines but when I was in the market I chose Kubota for my personal tractor. Very happy with my tractor and I will continue to own Kubota.

[@WesternEquipment]

@briannelson It’s a commonly known fact that John Deere Equipment holds its value better than Kubota. There is a reason why people buy both brands, but holding its value is not a Kubota selling point. Anybody that sells a Kubota on that isn’t being genuine.

[@cmp2cool]

JD 5075E-74HP, 57PTO.....Kubota 7060-71HP, 64 PTO HP....how does the Deere lose 17 HP to the PTO?....I have to believe it as real and related to the JD using a little 3cyl and the Kubota using a larger 4 cyl. I also don’t like the fact the 5075E uses the same motor as the 5045E....seems JD is squeezing everything they can to get to ~70 hp....I would really like to consider JD in this class but these issues bother me. If JD used the 5090e 4cyl and detuned to 75hp I would be sold. Thanks for the side by side look.

Just keep in mind that Kubota does not send this tractor to testing in Nebraska so its hard to know how accurate their data is...
