When you’re looking for a compact tractor, durability should be at the top of your concerns. The Kubota B2601’s metal hood and fenders, alongside a cast steel transmission and heavy-duty front axle all lend their support to your tractor and ensure that you’ll be operating for years and years to come. A deluxe, high back seat with armrests gives you utmost comfort every time you climb into the wide and flat operating station. The Kubota treadle pedal and tilt steering wheel let you optimize your experience and an optional cab allows for year-round comfort with its A/C and heating. The John Deere 2025R offers twin touch pedals and standard cruise control for ergonomic control. The B2601 provides a category 1 front hitch and the John Deere 2025R sports a limited category 1 front hitch. A composite plastic hood gives the 2025R a no-scratch, no-dent guarantee, but when it comes down to longevity, it’s safer to place your trust in steel in the long-run.
Compact tractors bring an outstanding performance to the table, and with a Kubota-built engine, the Kubota B2601 gives you plenty of bang for your buck. The Kubota B2601 features a 25.5 horsepower rating, thanks to the Kubota, tier 4 engine under its hood. It’s just a few ponies larger than the John Deere 2025R’s 23.9 horsepower and Yanmar-built engine, but the margin is still sizable. The B2601’s three-speed hydrostatic transmission assists you in finding the perfect blend of speed and torque while the John Deere 2025R’s two-speed range is still practical, but doesn’t offer as much control over lower speed operations. With 19.5 PTO horsepower and a hydraulic independent PTO, the Kubota B2601 gives you streamlined access to a slew of attachments and implements, and you’ll notice the 1.5 PTO horsepower difference it has over the 2025R’s 18 PTO horsepower. Add the 6.1-gallon fuel tank, noticeably larger than the John Deere 2025R’s 5.4-gallon fuel tank, and it’s clear to see that there’s a frontrunner in this battle. Power, performance, precision… you know Kubota has your back.
