All 1-5 Series sold in the US currently are made in Augusta, GA. Localized production of small tractors for overseas markets comes out of India. Years ago some models sold here were made in India (5103, 5203, 5303). I’d go with the 3025E for the aforementioned reasons, namely the twin touch pedals vs. Kubota’s treadle pedal. I also grew up on Deere products and feel comfortable on them but I wouldn’t be scared of the Kubota.

The orange tractors are a quality product. Lots of people will tell you to consider your dealer. The dealers around us for both brands are top notch so it comes down, really, to personal preference provided it’s the same where you are.

Kubota and JD are less than a mile apart locally for me. I had the same choice 5 years ago when I was in the market. I ended up going with the Kubota M5660 because of price and service reputation of the orange guys.

Had an issue with a broken linkage in my steering wheel (of all issues w a tractor, of course this would happen to me). Kubota was really on top of fixing it for me. Really pleased so far.
