The biggest difference in my mind is the fact that you can get a FEL quick attach on the BX25D that Kubota says does not fit on the old BX25. Apparently, however, it seems that it can be fitted on the older BX 25 loader, although supposedly Kubota has beefed up the front end loader on the new
BX25D in order to accommodate palette forks that can be attached to the front end loader of the
BX25D. This of course implies that we might damage our front and loader if we put the quick attach and palette forks on the older model
BX25.
Yes, what "check" said, above, plus:
the better, more supportive, more "ergo" Deluxe High Back Suspension Seat;
the "already there" mounting bosses, on the dipper stick, for the mechanical thumb.
CRUISE CONTROL
Series Hydraulic Circuits - allow use of all loader/backhoe functions at the same time;
Cushioned Hydraulics
Foldable ROPS
Brake on the LEFT side, for a more sensible arrangement (allowing one foot to handle Forward/Reverse, and the other to handle braking (not that much/any is normally needed);
The fact that the QA for the FEL now allows the use of affordable, lightweight, ADJUSTABLE FORK WIDTH PALLET FORKS, right from Kubota, for "plug and play" usage, as opposed to the $1,200+ expense (when fab shop costs are added to an aftermarket, OVERLY-HEAVY, SSQA kit, starting at $825. plus fab shop costs) offered by ATI, among others. And yes, you do have to shell out $279., when you order the
BX25D, for the optional Kubuta QA, but that's waaay cheaper than $1,200.+ to go the SSQA route, the (unneeded) weight of which will cut into the SCUT FEL's limited lifting capacity, significantly more than Kubota's cheap, lightwweight, proprietary QA system, for the aforementioned sum of only $279.
And all the rest of the items listed in this "dealer" publication, which I suspect was part of a "Press Pack" given to Kubota dealers, by Kubota Corporate:

Do check out the official, Kubota-produced "NEW"
BX25D(D?) brochure, linked in the above-linked, dealer-distributed article, here:
Here is a link to the BX 70 Series Brochure!

Anyone that can read, and can "compare and contrast" at a 9th grade level, can see that these two models (based on two DIFFERENT series, per Kubota's own literature, i.e., the "60" and "70" series), can see that the features of the previous (i.e., "60-series-based) BX25"D" tractor are SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT from the "NEW," "70-series"-based BX25"D"D.
One wonders what possible agenda someone as seemingly-coherent as JWR could have, in attempting to discount the above differences in features....
Yeah, I said it....
