I didn't think the under 25 horsepower engines had to comply with tier 4 final?
Same here.
I didn't think the under 25 horsepower engines had to comply with tier 4 final?
If someone wants to dig it out of the regulations, here is a start:
Nonroad Diesel Engines | US EPA
According to Table 3 here, there is a division at 25 hp. Below 11, then 11 to below 25, then 25 to below 50, etc.
Emission Standards: USA: Nonroad Diesel Engines

So as I said before, the BX25D is simply a year later model of the BX25 and I see negligible difference.
Hope your using it over the years is happier than some of the authorities who have posted here ! Good luck with it.
IF you are really Cherokee140 and if the sun came up this morning and if you don't want to take this outside, ... YOU CAN TAKE MY WORD FOR IT I GOT THAT EMAIL FROM KUBOTA AND COPIED IT UNCHANGED DIRECT TO THE FORUM. What kind of motivation would cause you to question that and my honesty in posting it ? Whatever it is has no place here.If we are to accept this as being an actual email from Kubota then we would also have to accept that as it is listed here in with other "updates" to the model that has stickers and badging saying BX25D we would have to say that the engine is an "update" over models that came before the machines started to get the badge on the side that says BX25D.
Not many of you hang around courts very often do you.
I realized I had to add something for you guys....IF this is a real article from Kubota, if the engine has to comply is not in question, the article says that it has an "updated" engine. It ends there. If by federal law it has to or not is not part of this discussion. (not that has thing 1 to do with anything)
As a (assumed) Kubota document says it is an Interim Tier IV engine and that is an update over the previous model then that is indeed a "different" engine.

doing my best to hit 200 pages.
