Trying to Decide Which Sub-Compact Tractor Best Fits Your Needs?

During the research phase of the buying process, many people end up comparing the Kubota BX2380 and the John Deere 1025R. Both tractors are quality machines made by manufacturers with great reputations. That being said, we bleed orange here at Burke Equipment Company in tax-free Delaware! We believe in the reliability of Kubota machinery to effectively perform their duties year after year with minimal maintenance costs. Although we admit we are biased, we’ll do our best to provide a fair comparison of essential elements of these two models to help you make a decision that is best for your circumstances! 

Cost of Operation

The yearly cost of operation is an important factor when deciding which tractor to purchase. It doesn’t do much good to save money on the initial purchase if the operation cost doubles that amount in three years! The Kubota BX2380 and the John Deere 1025R are known for their low maintenance cost; however, Kubota is widely recognized as the most dependable tractor brand. Unlike its John Deere counterpart, the Kubota BX is manufactured and assembled in the USA. Not to mention, our Parts and Service Departments at Burke Equipment Company are fully equipped to keep the BX2380 in tip-top shape! Lastly, Kubota boasts above-average fuel efficiency, meaning you’ll spend less money keeping it fueled and less time filling it up!

Ease of Use

Both models are user-friendly and excellent choices for first-time buyers with light-duty needs. You’ll enjoy cruise control, a tilting steering wheel, and a comfortable seat with armrests with either tractor. However, the operator's station is more prominent on the Kubota, offering more legroom and easier-to-reach controls from a comfortable position. One advantage we have to concede to John Deere is their AutoConnect Mower Deck, which allows you to attach and detach the mid-PTO mower deck easily. That said, unless you expect to attach and remove the mower deck between jobs frequently, the Kubota BX2380 has the advantage in every other way.  It should also be mentioned that the BX2380 is performance-matched to numerous attachments and implements, making it an uber-versatile machine!
