What mower is that?
KUGator and BPFick pretty well have it covered. I looked at the Bxx20 and did not particularly care for them for my needs. If I ever get a B size, it will be a Bxx30 for the reasons mentioned. Our ground is so hard a ground contact mower is not an issue, but for some it will cause rutting and damage in sharp turns.
Honestly Kubota has far too many configurations in tractors.
JD covers BX and B range with 5 very well equipped tractors.
I hope someone at Kubota is listening, because this was the reason I selected a JD 2520 over the Kubota 2620. And I am so glad I have position control.
The B3030 is out of the current tractor lineup and I'm not sure if dealers can get the B2630 any longer either.
I'm very happy I latched on to a B3030 last year.
Your points are well taken. Kubota OWNS the under 40 hp market. Its strategy, whether you or I agree with it, is domination by propagation, it seems. It is confusing to have so many models, to be sure.
In the end they simply offer more options than anyone. They make all these models to offer different price points and different sets of features, like it or hate it. It is what they do.
Fact is that while the 20 series isn't for everyone, it allows Kubota to offer that size tractor at a price point that JD cannot begin to match. Kubota sells thousands of 20 series tractors, if for no other reason than VW used to sell thousands of Beetles back in the day. Want a better level machine? We got it. Want this or that? We got it. 20s, 30s, 00s, not to even mention the 4 BX models offered.
I honestly do not know if this is sheer insanity or marketing genius. But, for certain, it is the Kubota way.
I guess im failing to find the "Fancy Features" It's hard to compare on the Kubota website because if you "Build my Kubota" the sheet opens in another tab, but if you go back and load another model it uses the same tab you had for the other..Im quite capable of comparing the obvious HP, size, capacities, PTO's etc..QUOTE]
As a bit of help, the Kubota Canada website is set up a little different (and bilingual) - BUT you can compare machines side by side. Pick the tractor, go to specs, and there's a 'compare' tab. You can compare several machines at the same time with all of the specs corresponding to each other as you scroll down.
I like the 'build and price' capability on the kubota.com site, and the comparison capability on the kubota.ca site. Gotta use the tools available...:thumbsup:
