Kubota BX25D / BX70?

[Johndeere3720]

I'd guess Kubota added the D after BX25 to designate the new changes to the BX25 rather than call it a BX26. The BX25 is a familiar model with a great reputation so people will know it's a BX25/BX25D....same tractor with one having a few changes in some features. I also figure the D is indicating Diesel which also makes it easy to understand for the uninformed that the one with out the D is also a Diesel. Probably just a marketing decision.

That makes sense, thanks John! At least the "D" has a clear meaning, I still don't know where Deere came up with the "R" or what it means. I didn't see a "D" in the model numbers of the other BXxx70 tractors, I wonder why they would only put the "D" on the BX25D if the other BX's are also diesel powered.

Still waiting for a first siting report myself. Maybe Neal Messick can tell us when he expects them to hit his lot?

Steve Barlow told me a week or two ago that he had enough for everbody coming but I don't know if he has rec'd them yet. I'll be seeing him next week when I do my F trade and I'll look then.

Look at the 2013 deere 1025R that was a 1026R last year. If Kabota were to call its new TLB a "26" it may be subject to tier 4 emissions. If that was the case, you could kiss your $2500-$3000 savings goodbye! Emissions standards are less stringent on off road diesels 25hp and less. Also, expect to see the BX2660 morph into something else, a BX2560D perhaps?

1025r???

1025r???

Yes, they will be changing it to the 1025R so the hp ratings will better match the model number. Also if people want to upgrade to the new model from a 1026R for some reason it will seem like a down grade to one less number promoting them to buy in to the 2R series when it comes out. :confused2:

Kubota site it still advertising and pricing the BX xx60 series. No 70's on line yet.

I think it should be out within the next month because they said fall 2012.

Yeah, Kubota does it backwards - new models hit dealer lots, then the web site gets updated. Go figure!

Yeah, updated months after the models hit the dealer lots usually.
