Read articles →This is a John Deere-produced side-by-side test rather than an independent comparison, using a rigged fixture with a digital force readout to measure loader breakout and rollback power on the 1025R versus Kubota's BX2680. It reports specific numbers: 1,110 lbs breakout and 1,300+ lbs rollback for the 1025R versus 788 and 930 lbs for the Kubota. Useful for buyers wanting quantified loader strength claims, but expect a one-sided pitch, not hands-on ownership impressions.
Posted by the PrairieCoast Equipment channel, using what appears to be John Deere's own promotional comparison footage, so expect a sales-leaning, brand-favorable presentation.
