Read articles →This is a detailed side-by-side of the John Deere 1025R (120R loader) versus the redesigned Kubota BX2680 (LA344 loader), focused specifically on loader details rather than engine or PTO specs. It covers bucket shape and dump-out, adjustable bucket level indicators, breakout force, pedal design, loader stands, and hydraulic quick-connects up close. Best for buyers cross-shopping these two subcompacts who want loader-specific nuances, not a full walkaround.
Presented by a John Deere dealership (Deer Country Farm and Lawn), whose host explicitly acknowledges his Deere bias while comparing against Kubota.
