Find a model →Pit up to four models against each other. Engine, hydraulics, hitch, weight, warranty.
Open comparison →Written guides on choosing tractors, hydraulics, PTO, hitches, and maintenance.
Read articles →This is a spec-sheet comparison, not hands-on footage: no loader lifting, no digging, no engine sounds, just narrated numbers on horsepower, PTO output, loader capacity, pedal layout, hood materials, and 2026 pricing for the 1025R versus BX23S. It lands on a clear takeaway: Deere wins on power and loader lift, Kubota wins on integrated backhoe value. Useful for narrowing a shortlist before visiting dealers, not for seeing either machine actually work.
Appears to be a script-driven comparison channel rather than an owner or dealer, so treat the numbers as a starting point to verify rather than firsthand tested experience.
