agreed...looks like a yellow and black BX24(5) even though the yanmar boasts 24 hp...

It's a Yanmar and they make good equipment. I have looked at their website, but there aren't any dealers in my area, so I haven't seen one in person.
the spec look nice but the color looks like crap and it looks like a toy (plastic etc)..The FEL and BH look like add on's that do not even match...
It has somethings I like and not but bota looks less in price etc..Just wondering if they copied the BX since it is real close.

From looking at the web page only, it share some of the design of my JD2305.
The operator platform and control location appears very similar.
I like the shift on the go and a couple of other things, but am more than happy with my 2660.

When I was shopping for my BX2350, the dealer first directed me to a Cub Cadet/Yanmar SC2400. Aside from the dual hydraulic pumps in the Yanmar, I believe the specs and prices were identical. With no real knowledge of the subject, I made my decision based on brand name. To me, Cub Cadet meant "lawn tractor".
Although I'm still very happy I made that decision, there were actually a couple of features on the Yanmar I preferred. I liked the analog tachometer and the fact that the same gauge wasn't dual-purposed with the hour meter. I also liked having the loader control on the fenderl. It seemed like it would be easier to control and wouldn't get in the way as much.

Frankly all the subcuts have a familiar and rather common look to them.
NH, Mahindra, C.C., BX etc At least to my eye.

Kubota took a chance, and defined this market, and of course everyone wants a slice of that pie. By definition, all makes have to have a similar size, weight, and "feature list" to compete. It's hard to design something completely different, and have it fit the same needs, or wants. In order to get things to market in a timely manner, many brands "borrowed" implements, and ideas from what was already there. Trouble is that they are all the same price too, or in some cases, more than Kubota......... on the purchase side anyway. I do think that Kubota has compromised a bit much in some areas like the tachometer, etc. to "maintain" price, etc. Wonder how many tractor purchases those things cost.....?
