Comparison 2010 bx25 vs 2011 bx25

[Tom_H]

Tom,
I believe this has been mis-stated before. The BX2350, BX1850, BX24 NEVER had a plastic floor. The cracking problem was the fender where it extended under the steel floor. It resulted from the flexing of the steel floor when it was stepped on by the operator mounting the tractor. Kubota modified the fender in the problem area with stiffening ribs. The ribs proved to be insufficient, so a steel reinforcement for the floor was added. This reinforcement was very successful and was retrofitted and the fender was replaced under warranty, to supposedly, every BX2350, bx1850 and BX24 that suffered the crack and was returned to the dealer, even if the machine was well beyond the warranty period. There was no "Version" that you refer to.

Cruisin, I appreciate your concern for accuracy. You have added a lot of details that I did not include; I have no problem with that. For the record, though, I didn't say the floor was plastic. I said the tractor had a lot of plastic and that the fender/floor had problems cracking. That is accurate. While there was no officially named Version I, Version II, and Version III, the tractor was still sold in three differing iterations. I have little doubt that there are still BX24s in use with either no reinforcement, or with the stiffening ribs. All I am saying is this, if a 280 lb. man buys a BX24 from a 140 lb. man, it would be to his benefit to find out whether the fender has no reinforcement, stiffening ribs, or steel reinforcement. He might also not get the same seat from one tractor to another.

Well, I asked for opinions, and I got them. Thank you, everyone, for the education. Next week I'll have delivered:

1. new 2009/10/11 BX25 with loader and BH.
2. 60" mid-mount-mower with adapter that allows it to attach with loader in place
3. category one three point hitch
4. 50" box blade
5. 9" twin flight auger post hole digger
6. 50" reverse rotation, slip clutch, rototiller

The BX25 is ORANGE. It has levers to pull and levers to push. It has pedals high and pedals low. And boy, is it ORANGE. It has knobs to turn and buttons to push. It has all manner of things mechanical and did I mention ORANGE?

I believe I'm going to like it!

It wouldn't matter to me 2010 or 2011, but I would force the dealer to tell me the year it was built instead of letting him get away with using weasel words to keep from answering the question .

Good luck with that "forcing" thing.:confused2:

Yes "force" is a strong word and shouldn't be necessary . Shouldn't have to force a business that's about to take 20 grand from you to do the right thing.

Hey everyone. Im looking to purchase a New BX 25 here within the next month. How much have people been paying for the tractor itself (including BH and FEL, No other attachments) including tax? I know tax percents vary but I would just like to know what people are actually paying out the door. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
