FAQs

What is the difference between 3025D and 3025E? ›

The 3025E is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission whereas the John Deere 3025D touts an 8F/8R synchromesh shuttle shift gear transmission. Lift Capacity - The 3025E tractor has impressive capabilities, lifting up to 1,356 lbs, while the 3025D tractor can lift 2,081.2 lbs, providing more usability with larger loads.

However, other aspects of the machine, like the transmission, clutches, hydraulics, and more may need to be replaced to keep the tractor in good running order. A general rule of thumb is that 2,000 to 2,500 hours is well broken-in while anything above 35,000 hours is considered high.

When you're looking for reliable and powerful performance, look no further than a Kubota. With a wide range of performance matched attachments, the Kubota L2501 and John Deere 3025E allow you to expand your horizons and tackle jobs around your property you've never thought possible.

The top five brands (in order) with the least amount of problems reported by respondents are Kubota, Case IH, John Deere, New Holland and Massey Ferguson. The average number of problems per unit across all brands was 1.21.

Although Kubota tractors are more expensive than Kioti, they may prove to be more cost-effective in the long run. After all, Kubota tractors are known for their outstanding performance and durability and have longer operating hours compared to Kioti.

Likely, you will find that Kubota is slightly higher in price than Mahindra tractors, but if you compare beyond the price of the tractor and include attachments, service, travel for service, and quality of build you will likely find that Kubota is a better deal even if the tractor costs a little more.

John Deere- In business since 1837, John Deere is the largest tractor manufacturer in the world. It is also considered a cultural icon. According to a 2021 Progressive Farmer Reader Insights survey, it enjoys any brand's highest customer loyalty rating. As they say, “Nothing runs like a Deere.”

Small-Scale Farming, Row Cropping, Plowing

We recommend tractors ranging from 51-65 engine hp for heavier-duty tasks on your property. Check out the John Deere 4052R and 4066R. If you run a small farm, these compact tractors are great when a utility tractor is too large or more powerful than you need.

A well maintained Kubota tractor should last between 4500-5500 gauged hours. As many tractor owners report using their tractor for only 100-200 hours a year, this can translate into years of use. If you have the time and skill to optimally tend to and care for a Kubota tractor, you have a chance to exceed 10,000 hours.

John Deere currently has four capability levels: D, E, M, and R. The higher in the alphabet the letter is, the more feature-loaded the tractor is. The second letter, if there is one, states the tractor's configuration.
