I just got a 1025R TLB a few months ago. Love it. It came down to Kubota or Deere. I went with the deere due to better dealer network where I live mainly. I will say it was a tough call, watch the comparison videos on youtube if you need to decide between those two.
We do not have any mahindra or kioti dealers nearby so that ruled them out, while researching I kept seeing people having problems with parts availability on the kioti machines and it appears to have gotten much worse due to the corona. There are many good kioti dealers and many bad, just like any, however the john deere dealer in my area will not just close up one day like some of the smaller dealers of other brands sometimes do.
The Deere 1025r lifts more than the kubota and has a tighter turning circle. I like the instrumentation on the kubota better, I like the loader control on the kubota better, both have many great features.
