Well done on a nice unbiased test and review 👌 love how defensive the Deere boys get 😂

[@gerry6420]

We love what we love but when it’s beaten in a test it’s beaten .

[@heathmaddox1683]

Both beautiful tractors. I love your unbiased view on both of them.

[@gerry6420]

Yes I tried to be as fair as I could. Still pick a Deere though 😁

[@ianinnes8063]

No bad tractors nowadays its all down to dealer backup and service i know a few folk who were running a well known marque for years then along came a demo and they suddenly realised there were even better tractors and dealer back up and service quality than they were running . Needless to say they changed one not lon after the demo and now one company run total oppesite to what they had previously . I must mention that the company had ford and newholland tractors . And swore by them for decades . Now run valtras off various sizes . It all came down to back up and service it does a gd thing takin a demo now and again . Hope ur all well gerry and family all the best pls take care and safe too .

[@johnchambers1770]

Both good tractors Gerry, or so it appears anyways. Always heard six cylinder for road haulage and the four cylinder for field work as in ploughing and tilling. Both based on fuel usage,comfort and practicality

[@rothamfarm1682]

I know Kubota isn’t a farm tractor in farms eyes but the Kubota is way under rate and my eye JD way over rated. I own both and like both but I have been using the Kubota more falling I love with them. If you would Kubota the same amount of years and same amount of deal the Deere has and put the JD in Kubota’s shoes Kubota be on top. Most tractors brands into today’s world they are basically the same a few things different here and there but that’s it. No matter what will always have a farm like one brand over others. As long as the job gets done the brand of tractor means nothing to me great video. Most comparisons videos is bash this tractor cause I like this brand or that’s what they sell. 👍🏻

Great video kubota looks and seems to be a fine tractor .Clarkes are lucky that you got it on trail great promotion for them 👍

[@jbcowherder6210]

visibility out the front from the Kubota is quite a bit better due to the shorter hood. cool to see that side by side. would like to see what the cost of each after a week/80hrs of work, fuel economy, etc. IMHO: 3km/hr is not enough to quibble over, operating costs are more important.

[@ttff6810]

very interesting video, Kubota have done their homework and seem to have positioned themselves very well for competing against the john Deere and the like with a very cable machine with good spec, will be a space worth watching to see if they are as reliable and hold a good resale value

I know you said the Kubota was very good on fuel while you were using it, but that aside, it says alot for the 6930 that it performs so well against a similar HP tractor that is basically 15 years newer tech.

[@gerry6420]

ChucklesX true.... the other thing too is if the test had been 100m longer the 69 would have won... also if both were at full tilt and met a steep hill... 69 would sail over it faster. But still very impressive from the kubota

[@jdmunro9831]

Good video , Nice to see a non biased review on both tractors . Would the 4 cyl be more efficient on the diesel ? 👍

[@gerry6420]

With out a doubt easier on fuel

[@JonDingle]

Personally I would buy a tractor based on simplicity of use, reliability, build quality, price and a little bit of bias towards a brand. So stick with what you know unless you get badly bitten by the brand in other words.

@@gerry6420 , I have a very nice 2012 European 6930 premium with only 3656 hours which I have tried to sell or trade here in the US so that I can buy a smaller new one with an extended warranty etc. ( It is too large for the small property I ended up with which is also very hilly with ruts and washouts). Everyone that I have talked to here is scared of it because they do not believe that they can get them repaired here when most of the ones that are on the dealer's lots here we're manufactured in the exact same factory where this one came from in Manneheim Germany. I just wish I had another couple hundred acres to be able to justify keeping this beast.

Was'nt expecting that....Kubota did well to be fair. Do you think you'll have other yokes on test? Interesting to see how newer gear fairs against yours 🤔

I'd take d john deere personally

[@eoinreardon6073]

Have to put into consideration the fact the deer is an older tractor with more hours and if you get the chance I would suggest u Rev the engine as u are changing gear as the tractor will go down the power quad and give itself a easier gear to pull from

Even though the Kubota came out on top most people would take the John Deere

[@rothamfarm1682]

Irish Farming sorry I’d take the Kubota I own both and take the Kubota any day over the JD. I think JD are over rated and over priced. If Kubota made tractors as long as JD did and JD was made tractors in the time frame Kubota has everyone would love Kubota over JD. I understand why lot of farms like JD.

[@seamuspower5900]

Great video lad

[@declanfarmerjoyce7639]

When the Kubota came out first. I would have gone near one. They weren't at all easy on the eye at all. Aswell as, sticking to the brand's that you do know of, from year's gone by. They've came a long way in a fairly short period of time. It'll be interesting to see, will they go BIGGER overtime & how they preform against other makes of tractor's. I'd say it would have helped the Deere better if had a variable transmission, like the Kubota. I was talking a guy that has a Kubota & swears by it, in nearly everyway. Nothing BIG at all has gone on it, yet & he has it about 14years. They're not that much cheaper to buy second hand compare to other makes. Ya, dealer location & backup service is everything, when buying a tractor. Along with reliability. You might change your mind about them now Gerry. 👂🤚😂😅🤣 Great video. 👏👏👍👍

You really can’t know until you get a demo or drive a new deere

[@geoffreygill3941]

interesting video gerry, and very unbiased on your half as we all know how green u r! personally I wouldn't have set foot in the orange thing! the power boost does let the 30 series down a bit especially on pto work, the r series are better on that side of things. but the 69 looks better and sounds better and resale price will be far better. was wondering if your 69 was chipped? I assume its not, we had ours chipped and when they put it on the dyno it was reading 204 hp, definety worth doing.

[@pmurphs07]

Still buy d deere. Not fair comparison gearbox wise

[@gerry6420]

The gear box is huge advantage.... a lot of new Holland’s Massey’s and case have similar style boxes.... and it’s why you see them pull away in similar style pulling competitions.
