Out with the old BX in with the new

rbarker · Sep 14, 2012

Well the local Kubota dealer showed up at my house this morning and took away my old trusted BX 2200 and left a shiny new BX 25 in it's place. Any thoughts of buyers remorse and nostalgia were quickly swept away by a couple hours of seat time in the new tractor. More power, much smoother hydraulics, more comfortable operator station and taking the loader and backhoe off were ridiculously easy compared to the old tractor. Left me wondering why the heck I didn't do this sooner!

I see you have cabs on both, are they factory or after market? They appear to be different. In any event I am sure you will enjoy the enhanced capabilities of your new tractor.

Very nice! I love the cab. I will be wishing for one when I am snowblowing this winter I suspect.

They are both made by Curtis Industries Www.curtisindustries.net but obviously the new one has been subject to 10 years of design improvements. Much more open feeling, glass panels instead of vinyl behind the doors and in the front below the windshield, 5000 additional btu on the heater, etc. this model is made specifically for the BX25 so the roof is hinged and pops up in the back for more headroom when operating the backhoe. Unfortunately the price took a steep jump along with the technology.
