Subject: RE: Video - Head to Head Comparison John Deere 5E Series Tractor VS Kubota MX Series.


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.
