John Deere 325P vs. Kubota SVL75-3 : Head to Head Comparison

Choosing between the John Deere 325 P-Tier and Kubota SVL75-3 Compact Track Loaders comes down to more than brand preference. Both machines are vertical-lift Compact Track Loaders in a similar size class, but official manufacturer specs show meaningful differences in rated operating capacity, hydraulic flow, hydraulic pressure, tipping load, breakout force, travel speed, and operating weight.

The Kubota SVL75-3 is a current Compact Track Loader with a Kubota V3307-TE5A engine, available open-cab and closed-cab configurations, two-speed travel, an optional high-flow hydraulic package, and a 7-inch color LCD touch panel with jog dial. The John Deere 325 P-Tier is a 74-gross-horsepower Compact Track Loader with higher listed rated operating capacity, higher listed tipping load, stronger published bucket breakout force, higher optional high-flow pump flow, and local John Deere support from CL Boyd.

The top things to know when comparing the John Deere 325 P-Tier to the Kubota SVL75-3:

1. Gross horsepower is close, with Deere listing the 325 P-Tier at 74 gross horsepower and Kubota listing the SVL75-3 at 74.3 gross horsepower. Kubota lists higher net horsepower at 73.2 horsepower, compared with Deere's 70 net horsepower.
2. The 325 P-Tier has the higher listed rated operating capacity at both 35% and 50% tipping load: 2,590 pounds at 35% and 3,700 pounds at 50%, compared with 2,490 pounds and 3,557 pounds for the SVL75-3.
3. The 325 P-Tier lists stronger hydraulic specs for attachment work, with 21 gallons per minute standard flow, 32 gallons per minute with the high-flow option, and 3,450 psi at the couplers. Kubota lists the SVL75-3 at 19.2 gallons per minute standard flow, 29.8 gallons per minute high flow, and 3,185 psi.

John Deere 325 P-Tier vs. Kubota SVL75-3 Specs

Official manufacturer specs give the John Deere 325 P-Tier advantages in rated operating capacity, tipping load, hydraulic flow, hydraulic pressure, hinge-pin height, and published breakout-force figures. Kubota lists the SVL75-3 with slightly higher gross horsepower, higher net horsepower, a faster high travel speed, and lower operating weight, especially in open-cab configuration.

Spec data sourced from official John Deere and Kubota product specifications. Specs may vary by configuration, options, region, bucket, track width, operator weight, fluids, and attachments. Breakout-force values are manufacturer-listed figures using each manufacturer's published labels; compare actual performance during a demo when breakout force is central to the buying decision.

Which machine is better for your work?

Choose the John Deere 325 P-Tier if you want a 74-gross-horsepower Compact Track Loader with higher listed rated operating capacity, higher listed tipping load, stronger published breakout-force figures, higher listed standard and optional hydraulic flow, higher listed hydraulic pressure, and more hinge-pin height than the Kubota SVL75-3.

Choose the Kubota SVL75-3 if your buying decision is driven by a slightly faster listed high travel speed, lower listed operating weight, a larger listed fuel tank, Kubota control feel, or a specific Kubota cab and display configuration available from your local Kubota dealer.

For Oklahoma contractors, the best answer depends on the work. A contractor running forks, heavy buckets, brush cutters, brooms, augers, or other hydraulic attachments should look closely at the 325 P-Tier's rated operating capacity, hydraulic flow, hydraulic pressure, and CL Boyd service support. A contractor focused mainly on transport weight or travel speed should compare the exact machine configuration, cab package, bucket, and tracks before deciding.

Serviceability, visibility, and daily use

Daily uptime matters on a Compact Track Loader. John Deere describes the 325 P-Tier with ground-level access to the dipstick, filters, and fuel and fluid fills, along with cab-footwell access designed to help speed cleaning. Deere also highlights clear sightlines to the cutting edge, bucket corners, lift arms, and the jobsite ahead and behind, with optional LED side lighting and rearview camera availability.

Kubota describes the SVL75-3 with a 7-inch color LCD touch panel with jog dial, standard self-leveling function, two-speed travel, optional high-flow hydraulics, a high-visibility roof panel, and standard travel alarm. Kubota also lists open-cab and closed-cab operating weights separately, which is useful when comparing transport and trailer requirements.

The practical takeaway: both machines are capable, but they are not identical. The John Deere 325 P-Tier is a strong fit for contractors who want a compact machine with higher listed capacity, stronger published breakout-force figures, more listed auxiliary hydraulic flow, and support from CL Boyd in Oklahoma City, Ardmore, and Lawton.
