Kubota BX25D / BX70?

[Artisan]

:thumbsup:

I am not sure what to label this, a BX25D or a BX70.

I see a different seat, what do you wanna bet it works better
than the BX25 seat, which I dislike. We shall see eventually.
The seat has a higher back and arm rests.

I also see a bolt on toolbox deal.

I see a BH adjustable thumb. I am not sure if I see a different
bracketry / geometry set up at the BH bucket or not...

Not sure if the BH bucket is wider than 12" or not.

Obvious sticker on FEL

What else do you see different?

FEL bucket looks like attachment is different, but could be the angle of shot.

I really want the specs on this puppy. What do they have the
PRV set at? I think I am looking at an 18" wide BH Bucket. If
all other parts are the same, and if they bumped the pressure
up it will be a real good indicator of what a guy could bump
his BX25 up to safely.

I took a look at Kubota's parts website and there are
2 files, BX25 AND BX25D ... I started looking for engine
and other differences.

The PRV part numbers look the same,
I see different piston numbers,

Hmmmm, what is the model number for the BH on the BX25D or BX70...

WAIT! What is that pedal on the LEFT!

 

[beckmurph]

Brake pedal is on the left side now. The tool box is new, and on the left side. The tool box really needs to be on the right side. When exiting the operators platform, I have found that exiting from the right side is a problem, because the FEL control is in your way. When exiting from the left, with that tool box in that position, it makes your exiting more difficult.
:cool2:

OK,

Who is going to be the first to retrofit there BX25 to a BX25D w/ left hand brake pedal!

Why can't we just move it to the left side?
OK, what is the part number! HA!

YEP, Looks good, I do believe the seat supports are the same flavor
which means you could swap seats I do surmise...

Pin on bucket.

That will be a nice retrofit for mine assuming its compatible and priced right.

There was supposed to be upgraded work lights... I dont see them in that picture.

 

[kcender]

The seat looks like the same one on my L3240, which is more comfortable than the one on my BX2360.

My comparison from my old BX22 and newer Bx24.

FEL look like a bobcat attachment; looks way longer then bx24/25
Seat is different
Steering wheel is taller
My guess is same engine as bx22/23/24 just more EPA stuff.

So where did this picture come from?

 

[Artisan]

iptman if I told you I would have to _ _ _ _ you. ;-)

Cool - first pic of the new BX TLB. Liking the factory backhoe thumb and the pin on bucket. On the thumb, I'm guessing the mounting ears are standard with the BH but the thumb is optional. Looks like it might be easily converted to hydraulic. If so, I'd have to look hard at adding it somehow, but I think it would require welding the mounts to my current dipper stick. And hopefully the pin on bucket can be retrofitted to existing models. More ways to spend money on my addiction! Thanks Artisan.

That "QA" looks very similar to what ATI has been offering for a while now. Plus they already offer a number of attachments, so you may want to look at what they have.

Many here might be interested in reading more about the new BX's here. And, I can tell where I found it.

Good job Yooperman, I went looking for that at Nord and
never saw it. I suspect it went up today.

Of coarse you can post it, and I thank you for doing it!
I found that origional pic on twitter.

Good Job Yooperman!

They fixed the brake pedal! Finally! If it weren't for that I was going to buy one when I got my 1026r. On steep hills I need to operate the brake and hydro at the same time. I can now consider kubota for my next tractor!

I like the factory thumb and seat too.

What are they talking about series hydraulics? Don't all tractors have open center systems? I thought all of the little ones were touchy

 

[Scooby074]

Yay!! Improved (optional) lighting. LED too!! Looks just like the Deere system on the 10xx series, not that that is a bad thing.

Looks retrofittable too... If the price isnt crazy, im going to likely get it.

I don't think that I'll be getting a new tractor,but that quick coupler, pallet forks and snowplow sure have me wondering when they'll be available. I would think that they would fit on the older model bx's. I could have used the pallet forks last weekend when I was moving 6 tons of boulders for a retaining wall
