Kubota BX Vs. John Deere 1-Series -Relief Valve Pressure, Loader Lift Capacity + Push/Pull Contest!!

Overview

This is a controlled, owner-run head-to-head between a Kubota BX2370/2380 loader combo and a John Deere 1023E, not a spec-sheet comparison. The owner matches ballast, tire fill, and hydraulic relief valve pressure (measuring 2900 psi stock on the Deere vs. adjustable Kubota), then runs a pallet-fork lift height test plus push and pull contests in high/low range. Good for BX or 1-Series owners curious about real loader lift capacity and relief valve tuning tradeoffs.

An owner-operator testing his own Kubota BX against his father's borrowed John Deere, sharing hands-on results rather than dealer or manufacturer messaging.
