- Kubota BX25
I was in the same position last fall. I was all set to buy a BX25, had a reasonable price from a dealer and ready to sign the next day until a friend insisted I check the GC. Once I did there was no going back for me. If you have another M-F dealer that is fairly close you owe it to yourself to check out the GC. I'm confident if you spend a few minutes with each machine you will know which you prefer. Both are excellent machines and I would have been thrilled with either.
Many of the differences between the two come down to personal preference, but there are a few things where I felt the GC had a clear advantage, primarily the larger displacement (1123cc vs 898cc), lower rpm motor and the hydraulic flow / pressure at low rpm. I found the BX needed to be revved up a bit to make it move where the GC would move and lift itself off the ground just above idle. The GC has a little more "relaxed" character because of it, and I like that in a tractor.
Check out pg 5 of this thread for pics of my machine.
Great looking machine. The choices are harder than I thought they would be. I wish I could buy them both.
