Is your aim that bad with the hammer that you miss your thumb by a few fingers:laughing:

Some good pricing up your way...

A friend has been in contact with a local to you WA dealer and can't come close down here in California...

The dealer selling at that price has a big market in the small landowner business. They sell mowers and other small engine type garden stuff also. They are one deep in their shop for both tractors and small engines; so for high production types like me I cannot wait a month for service; so I go 40 miles to a dealer with a larger shop and shorter downtimes. There price for the 25D is $1000 more.

To me it remains a simple thing.

If I want the latest and greatest orange model, I think I'd head on over to a Kubota dealer. I think that's where they are.

If, on the other hand, I'm buying a used orange tractor from a Green dealer, I had better bring my A game to the deal.

Well, I WAS THINKING about a BX25D over a BX2670, but now my anxiety level is so high after reading this thread, I think I am going to have to sit with a few brews and a Xanax and wait until the BX26F comes out. I pitched the B2620 Idea after I was beaten with the Tier IV emission. Now this? How can I cope with this not knowing what I'll get? What if it's actually green under that orange paint?

My contribution toward 100.

Eh like I said what the heck do I know, but unlike some I do understand the definition of the word different, something that is lost on those pesky kids and especially their dog too.

I have followed and read the posts in this thread since the beginning and am all confused. Is a BX25 a BX25 or something I do not understand? Since I'm considering a BX25, should I still consider one or is there another number I should look into? Can anyone summarize all this?

Kubota refreshed their BX series recently. They went from the 60 series to the 70 series. For example, the BX 2360 is now the BX 2370. In doing so they renamed the BX25 into the BX25D. There are a half dozen or more changes such as different seat and change in steering wheel but the most significant is the change in placement of the hydro pedals. There is no difference in horsepower or lift capacity so both the BX25 and BX25D will perform quite similarly. If the new features are important to you then seek out a BX25D. If not, a BX25 will do nicely. Whatever you do, make sure you are getting what was advertised, the new numbering system from Kubota has created confusion. Don't expect a used tractor salesman to know the differences unless it is a Kubota dealer.

Except that there is no "BX25". If someone finds anything called a BX25, regardless of vintage, or version, it's going to say "BX25D" on the data plate, and operator's manual. The newest versions will have the changes to the pedals, etc, and a "BX25D" label on the loader.

If/When they come out with a BX26, it will almost certainly have "BX26D" on the DTA plate, and manuals. As others have pointed out, that is standard practice for Kubota. Many folks suggest that the D is or Diesel....haven't seen anyone confirm that however.

To sumarize, it's actually an imitation of the Kioti DK series, the D stands for Duh!
Kubota actually wants to confuse their potential buyers more by selling their tractors secretly through JD dealers. There is the little d and the big D and a few e's hiding in the bushes of select farms awaiting discovery.
True story. Act accordingly.
