John Deere 1025R vs. Kubota BX – Loader Capabilities Comparison

John Deere· Jul 2018
Reviews & comparisons25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

This is a short, spec-driven side-by-side focused entirely on loader performance: John Deere's 120R Quick Park versus Kubota's Swift Catch on the BX. It cites specific numbers (446% more breakout force, 754 lbs lift capacity, 23% more than Kubota) and shows both tractors working the same dirt pile to demonstrate strain versus ease. It skips price, other implements, and ownership costs, so it's best for buyers narrowing a loader-capacity decision, not a full review.

Produced by John Deere itself, so expect a comparison built to favor its own tractor rather than a neutral third-party test.
