New BX25?

[Tom_H]

I don't think the BX series has any use for another 2.5 or 3 HP...it has plenty, in my opinion.

For me, it would mean being able to jump up one category in the chipper and generator it could power at the rear PTO. When ripping dry clay with a subsoiler, I could rip slightly deeper as well. The BX2200 often just hangs up and will not move forward.

Some would even sing the praises of the plastic hood and fenders...

I prefer the metal. but if I lived in snow and had to plow a salted drive, I would prefer plastic for the fenders.

no backhoe listed for the 2660

In the BX series. two numerals after the "BX" means it comes with a Kubota backhoe. So far, that has been BX22, BX23, BX24, and apparently now, BX25. Four numerals following the "BX" means no Kubota bh is available for it, and the first two of those numerals represent the hp (or very close to the hp). This group includes BX1500, BX1800, BX1830, BX1850, BX2200, BX2230, BX2350, and BX2660. (I hope I got all those right!)

The Woods BH6000 has been successfully used on all of these, even the little BX1500. TBN member blackmajikwoman has several old threads full of pics of trenches and stumps he dug with his BX1500 and Woods BH6000.

I'm leaning towards putting my name down for one and getting on with some other jobs without the distraction of having a new toy...

Be nice to know how long I'll be waiting. I guess all the tooling up is there for the BX2660 - my dealer reckon a couple months.

No mention whether the BX25 will be based on the Same BX24 engine or the beefed up BX2666? If they were going to be increased power, a primary selling point, I would certainly think they would mention it.

New BX Kubota's Coming Soon !

Kevin, I have not followed the sales cycle of Kubota historically. Will they have additional incentives to move the existing models? I know Massey Ferguson had a 60 month 0% to move their existing inventory of GC 2310 when they came out with the GC2410's. Any guess as to how Kubota handles this or handled it in the past.

I am close to taking the plunge on a BX24 but would likely wait 30-60 days if there were potential savings to be had on the older model. Of course the way that works is I wait too long and the local dealers have no more and I am forced to buy the newer more expensive model.

I don't think we will see them until October. There has been an extra Dealer incentive for the last 2 months on the current BX's. Right Now is a great time to buy the current BX. I really don't know if there will be any other incentives coming out? I don't think so.

The New BX25TLB will be based on the BX24
Same D902 Engine but they are listing the PTO HP at .2hp greater than the BX24.

BX25TLB
23 Gross HP
17.7 PTO HP
Same RPM's

increased top speed to 8.4mph from 8.1

Same Loader and BackHoe

Thanks for the info. My current quote is coming in at $16,821 before tax (BX24, 12" bucket and 60" MMM) While I just about choked, the input I am getting seems to be that this is a pretty decent price. Dealer incentives must be benefiting me.

I purchased one of the last round of "crate" BX2230's my dealer had.

At the time, the normal price differential between the BX1500 and the BX1830 was $1,500 and it was another $500 to go from the BX1830 to the BX2230...no difference except a 20+% bump in HP

That said, the total incentives were $500 across the line that had been in place for a long time (and applied to the new ones at the time, I think) and another $1,000 to "clear the old tractor inventory". I was planning on spending ~$15k for my package on a BX1500, so when I finally came to purchase, the theory is that I paid $500 for a nearly 50% bump in horsepower (22 vs. 15) because of the particular time I purchased (differential was $2,000 made $500 because of the $1,000 + $500 in incentives on the price at the time). I could have gotten my original (BX1500) package for $13.5k, I guess, but since I sold the CFO on a budget, I got as much tractor as I could within said budget.

ALL THAT BEING THE CASE, that was a huge shift in model design. Old vs. new. I don't see this as being quite as dramatic, so I would not expect the same $1,000 incentive. And even in the previous case, $1,000 was all I ever saw as the difference until the last 'old' tractor was cleared off the lot.

Therefore, don't expect them to start giving away the BX24 for $12k just because the BX25 is on its way. Maybe $500, if even.

The $16.8k price is pretty decent. Base your decision on the knowledge that you probably won't see that ever go below $16k even if you wait until the 'new' model comes out and plan on the 'new' model to be closer to $17.5k.

Hope that gives you a little more specific information to process.
