Question for those that have owned or operated both the Kubota B2620/B01 series and the JD2R's.
I'm curious how the 3 range Kubota and Deere 2 range hydro's compare and how they overlap.
For example, my bushroads have some pretty good hills. With my B2620 I can carry full loads of gravel in the loader bucket, or box blade up the hills in medium range. But if it had rained and the ground is saturated and heavy sometimes I use low range to be easier on it. But then low range is painfully slow and you don't get much done in a day.
How would a 2 range do? Where does low range on the Deere match the Kubota? Would low range on the Deere be a bit slower than medium on the Kubota or would it have a bit less bottom end grunt?
