LBrown59 I love the BX25 so far, the JD had some great things to offer, like the FW/RW foot pedal location next to one another and the loader with two hydro curl cyclinders, make it easy to buy or fab quick attach options like front forks. The BX has a smaller bucket too but it moves much faster and the location of the hose connections is 100% better plus I have the BH now. The Kubota loader comes off very easy, yes I need to get off and put the stand down but the hose location wins me over verses the JD 200CX loader. I had the Protero grass blower on the deck and getting to the hoses was a PITA on the JD, without the blower it would be no problem but that was not my case.
