Here are some videos on Deere's website you may have missed. Some good ones for the enthusiast just learning.

I attended one of those Drive Green events a couple weeks ago. Just for fun I drove a 1026R with loader and moved some dirt. Also drove the other brand they had for comparison. The 1026R seemed to be a well built and very capable tractor. Much nicer to use than the comparison tractor, although I expect that model was carefully chosen. Best drive of the day was a cabbed 3520. The outside temperature was 106 degrees, but it was very cool inside the cab. Didn't want to get back out. I told the JD rep that was the best kind of weather to sell a cab tractor. Received some nice JD Drive Green gloves and tee shirt before leaving.

Inquiring minds want to know...What was the "comparison tractor"?

It was the same one Deere uses on their Sub-Compact Tractor comparison page with the four videos. Definitely not as user friendly a tractor in comparison. I won't say the brand for fear someone will say I am claiming everyone who owns that brand is stupid. That's from experience.

Ok, I've owned both, so I'll say it for you... Kubota. :tongue: Was it a BX that they had for comparison against the the 1026?


Edit: Nevermind, I saw the comparison video against the BX.
