Kubota BX25D / BX70?

[MessickFarmEqu]

not sure on the ship ETA for these, but I am almost out of 60-series so we'll be on the front end of the allocations.

I think the Kioti is just a orange New Holland.

It is. Don't be too excited.

I just noticed that there is a $500 rebate for the BX70.

That is a good point. You've found the ultimate downfall of the auto PTO option, and brought it out for everyone to see. It does take some effort to go from MMM to front PTO operated implements. This may be a concern for those that use a front sweeper in the grass cutting season, but when a front snowblower is attached, usually grass cutting season is over. To remove the auto PTO carrier and MMM lift arms on the one series, just pull the four pins and disconnect the auto PTO shaft. Only you can decide if these four pins twice a year would negate any benefit of the no pin MMM attach and detach all summer long. For SCUT owners without a FEL, they'll never benefit. However for a SCUT owner like me, who does FEL chores in between MMM cuttings, AutoConnect can not be beat. Alas, AutoConnect will not knock Kabota or Massey out of the SCUT market, there are just too many buyers who don't care. Coyote? I guess their SCUT performance is yet to be seen.

That is one reason I love this forum-great info. I figured the auto pto was a bolt on issue and could not be easily removed. My dealer did not point that out to us when we looked at the 1000 series. Thanks for the great info since I really do like both the Deere and the Kubota models.

I also see a clam tooth on the BH boom to pinch against the bucket. I have heard the pedal on the left is brakes.

Yes, they will be changing it to the 1025R so the hp ratings will better match the model number. Also if people want to upgrade to the new model from a 1026R for some reason it will seem like a down grade to one less number promoting them to buy in to the 2R series when it comes out. :confused2:

Bleh! What a bunch of marketing dorks! I guess I'll have to buy a kubota once my tractor destroys the autoconnector next time I take it off.

Looks like Kubota did a pretty good job with their new improvements.:thumbsup: I personally am a Deere guy and have yet to own a Kubota but I may have one some day, who knows. That being said I see advantages and disadvantages with both models, it is the customer who will decide in the end which tractor will better suit their comforts/needs. One thing that has me curious is has Kubota done anything to address the hydrostatic fan shield? Also, why did Kubota choose the "BX25D"? What does the "D" stand for?

I'd guess Kubota added the D after BX25 to designate the new changes to the BX25 rather than call it a BX26. The BX25 is a familiar model with a great reputation so people will know it's a BX25/BX25D....same tractor with one having a few changes in some features. I also figure the D is indicating Diesel which also makes it easy to understand for the uninformed that the one with out the D is also a Diesel. Probably just a marketing decision.

Strange...My Kubota is a BX25, but on the frame there is a sticker that says BX25D. Also, there is another sticker on the engine that says BX23.
