In the market for a sub compact tractor in Harlingen, Texas? Finding it increasingly difficult to make a decision between the popular Kubota BX Series and the storied John Deere 1 Series? Here at Elliff Kubota, we’re pretty fond of the BX Series, and there are a few areas where we believe the BX Series rises against the norm and proves itself well-worth your consideration!
From the moment you step into the Kubota BX Series’ flat operating station, adjust the tilt steering wheel to your liking and kick back in the deluxe high back seat with dual armrests, you’ll know you’re home. Powerful metal paneling makes up the BX Series’ body, and its metal, one-piece hood is designed to take a beating and keep you running for years and years to come. The John Deere 1 Series makes use of a no-dent, no-scratch composite plastic, allowing for a two-piece hood and axle casing, but at the end of the day, no matter how refined the plastic is, we trust metal a whole lot more. The John Deere 1 Series is easily controlled with its twin touch pedals, but the Kubota treadle pedal simplifies operation even further. Push up to go forward, and back to reverse. It’s just that easy. Plus, the ergonomic placement of controls on the BX Series keeps things streamlined, so you’ll work confidently throughout the day and never tire out.
By this point, you’re probably asking yourself, how much horsepower does the Kubota BX Series have? Performance is crucial to a sub compact tractor’s success, and the Kubota BX Series sports a robust 24.8 horsepower, courtesy of a Kubota-built engine, in the BX2680 model. The John Deere 1025R tails closely behind the BX Series with a 23.9 horsepower rating its Yanmar engine provides, and both tractor series offer standard 4WD. Personally, we like our tractors to be built from the ground-up, and the BX Series Kubota parts are those we know we can rely on and won’t falter in the face of adversity. The BX Series even has cruise control, allowing you to find the right speed to maneuver around your property and operate the sub compact at. Power through the day’s job with the Kubota BX Series 6.6 gallon fuel tank, a full gallon higher than the John Deere 1 Series’ 5.6 gallon tank. With a large variety of Kubota-built attachments and LandPride performance matched implements, the BX Series is here to get the job done, and do it right the first time.
