This post is basically about this: If a dealer sells you a tractor he advertised as an "A" but really is a "B" being sold as an "A" and the buyer (me) really didn't know the difference at the time, is the dealer liable in any way?

Is a Dealer responsible to KNOW what they are actually selling? (may seem like a dumb question but this salesman apparently didn't know)

If you feel like reading a little bit about it I jotted down some of the facts below.

I recently purchased my first Kubota, It is a 2012 BX25D, or so I thought.
Now, I have done some research on a few of the BX models and based on that research I figured the one for me was the BX25.
BUT after reading about the improvements made to the BX25 to create what is now the BX25D (on sites like tractorbynet) I started looking for a used Bx25D and I found one for $15,500 that was traded in to a John Deere dealer.
..... " No, its only a regular BX25 NOT a BX25D", as the JD salesman advertised it was. Thanks!

Dear JWR ,

Thank you for your email to Kubota. Updates from the BX25 to the BX25D include:

Brake pedal located on the left side of operator platform
New dash panel with digital display and analog tachometer
Foldable ROPS
Steel hood and fenders
Interim Tier IV engine
The BT602 Backhoe features cushioning valves to reduce shock at full up/left/right movement.
Optional 2-Position Mechanical Thumb for the BT602 Backhoe.

Sincerely,

Steve
Customer Satisfaction

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.

I think he forgot to mention the improved ergonomic seat! Big difference in my mind.

doG this was turning to such a fun thread.

I did not know that one of the "updates" was a different engine. Good doG if that is a negligible difference in your book there is going to be no point in going further....not like there was anyway...

Can we get back to talking about BX25DD

The "different engine" is in no way a positive for the D model. It is anti-pollution BS that benefits no one in reality and certainly not the owner of the machine. It is worse than negligible, it is a small factor in the direction of preferring the older model. That is the BX25 I am talking about... so, to suit you, we are back to talking about the BX25.

Last I checked this thread was not about positive or negative but about difference. So because the engine is in fact is in no way a positive for the D model. It is anti-pollution BS that benefits no one in reality and certainly not the owner of the machine. It is worse than negligible, it is a small factor in the direction of preferring the older model that would mean that the "older model" is actually better, so it would be

I didn't think the under 25 horsepower engines had to comply with tier 4 final?
