Kubota LX2620SU vs John Deere 3025

See Why We Choose the Kubota LX2620SU over the John Deere 3025E!

If you’re in the market for a compact tractor, you might be comparing these two popular models: the Kubota LX2620SU and the John Deere 3025E. At Burke Equipment, we’ve done the homework for you! These popular contenders offer reliability and strong performance. However, after comparing them side-by-side, we discovered the key advantages were in favor of the Kubota LX2620SU. Join us in this guide as we explain why the Kubota LX2620SU stands out as the superior choice for homeowners, landscapers, and small farmers!

Key Differences in Power & Performance

The Kubota LX2620SU edges out the John Deere 3025E with its 24.8 horsepower engine, compared to Deere’s 24.4 horsepower. More importantly, Kubota delivers 19.5 PTO, while John Deere offers only 17.5 PTO, meaning the LX2620SU model has more power to handle tasks like mowing, tilling, and using implements. Additionally, Kubota can support a larger 60-inch rotary cutter attachment (compared to Deere’s 48-inch), so you can easily cover larger acres. 

The Kubota LX2620SU also offers a three-range hydrostatic transmission (HST), which provides greater control and flexibility, perfect for dealing with different terrains and conditions. In contrast, the John Deere 3025E has only a two-range HST, limiting its adaptability. The Kubota LX2620SU has a ground clearance of 14.6 inches for challenging terrain, surpassing the Deere’s 3025E 13.1 inches, ensuring a smoother experience operating over obstacles.

Front-End Loader Advantages

Kubota's front-end loader has several key advantages, including a higher lift capacity, dual-function hydraulics, and the ability to lift and dump simultaneously, increasing overall productivity. Unlike John Deere’s fixed loader, Kubota’s loader is removable, providing greater flexibility and adaptability for various tasks. The ergonomically designed integrated joystick also enhances operator comfort during long hours of use!

Durability is another area where Kubota excels. The LX2620SU’s steel hood and fenders offer rugged, long-lasting protection, unlike John Deere’s plastic components, which are more prone to damage and can deteriorate in appearance over time. Kubota's front-end loader also comes standard with a quick-attach bucket, adding versatility without the extra cost of conversion kits!

Why Choose Kubota LX2620SU?

For those looking for superior performance, reliability, and versatility, the Kubota LX2620SU is the clear winner. With more horsepower, a durable front-end loader, and exceptional ground clearance, it outshines the John Deere 3025E in every major category. Whether you're maintaining a property, managing landscaping projects, or tackling small-scale farming, the Kubota LX2620SU undoubtedly offers durability and a supreme operational experience!
