Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Pavelow16478:
I like the loader control on the 2017 2 series better, the twin touch pedals are a lot more ergonomic to me than the treadle on the Kubota. The Deere was built a lot heavier, weighs over 500 lbs more than the Kubota. The loader comes off much easier, although the Kubota has a very slightly higher loader capacity. The new Command Cut mid mount mower on the 2 series is just flat out awesome and leaps and bounds better than the mid mount mower on my dads new B2650. I love the auto throttle feature on the Deere as well. Dealer support was also a factor. I go right by a Deere dealer everyday for work but it's a good 45 min to an hour for to the nearest Kubota dealer depending on traffic. Dont get me wrong, I think Kubota makes a great tractor I was just willing to spend more to get the features I wanted. 
I grew up with John Deere. I bought the Kubota because that's what I came across that I liked for the price first. No regrets, I think it's a great tractor. |

Looks like Kubota's 0% interest ends June 30. The local dealer says that at the Kubota meeting they went to recently that Kubota ended up giving more incentives than they had planned, so the 0% interest deal may not continue after that.
I've been planning on picking one up. Trying to decide between the 2501 and 4701. Main task will be bushhogging 14 acres, but also smoothing a driveway, and hauling stuff around the farm. Also plowing down the road. The dealer says that the 2501 will do everything I need, and can be had for around 20,000 with a trailer, FEL, box blade, 5' bush hog. The 4701 will do everything faster, and is almost 2x the horse power and 8 inches wider, but 12K more for the same setup (except all the implements are bigger) Not sure which one to get, but have to decide by tomorrow. I'm sure I'll enjoy either. |

This past weekend I removed the backhoe and FEL from the BX23 for the first time. I got it with a MMM when I bought it a couple years ago, but haven't needed it. Took it off right away and I've only been using the FEL and backhoe so far. Have a use for the mower and I've been itching to try it out. Kind of fun, it feels like a completely different tractor.
