Pontiac, IL. | It's on the internet, it must be true. LOL |

SW Illinois | better comparison would be against a kubota M6060.... its still the same HP but alot heavier than the MX series and lift ratings are higher.
anyone know the price difference between the JD vs kubota??? |

Sourthern WI | The information may be accurate, but it smells like deere is willing to take cheap shots to make their product look better by comparing apples to oranges in an attempt to confuse the consumer. The Kubota is an over powered compact tractor and the Deere is an under powered utility tractor. Two different classes of machine. Notice they never had a shot where the two tractors were side by side. I bet if they did that, it would be pretty apparent how poor of a comparison this was. Like was already mentioned, a better comparison would be a 5E against an M6060. |

Iowa | Well Kubota must be conspiring against themselves then because if you go to their website and select competitive comparison for the MX 5200 it compares it directly with the John Deere 5055E. |

| They can't even use the same hammer to compare the strength of the hoods; let along what others have said about the chassis sizes. I'd like to see Deere compare their 7270R to an 8270R in a similar fashion. If they're both the same horsepower they must be comparable! That said, I was curious to know what the prices are between the Deere and Kubota. It's a different story if they're comparable in price.
It's a bit misleading since they're comparing the Deere PowrReverser to the Kubota Gear Shift Transmission when they actually have a hydrostatic transmission available (debatable on whether that's a good option). I also couldn't price them with a loader since Deere doesn't offer than option with the build & price tool.
Kubota MX5200 with MFWD, gear shift transmission and two remotes: $28,393.
Deere 5055E with MFWD, PowrReverser transmission: $31,676.
However, compared against a M6060:
Kubota M6060 with MFWD, hydraulic shuttle, 540E PTO and two remotes: $35,180
So I don't know, maybe they felt the MX series was a closer price match? That said the M6060 is rated at 56 HP PTO while the 5055E is 39. If you bump up to a 5075E to get comparable PTO with a M6060 the Deere comes up to $36,733. |

New Brunswick, Canada | Pointless comparison, the MX is basiclly the 15 year old 4610 L series compact castings with some fancy sheetmetal /plastic stuff stripped off and a emissions motor added. Its a compact tractor. One of the M series SU stripped down models would be a far better comparison, at least in the same chassis size and the same idea of a stripped down utility tractor. |

Wi | I didn't even watch it but to me it says Kubota is obviously doing good enough that Deere went through the effort. |

SW Minnesota | Buy a $30,000 skid loader and you would be more happy just my opinion |

Statesville, NC | I would choose the Japanese built tractor over the Indian built tractor. |
