Why no BX23 toys?

[RayH]

All I can find are BX22 toys. I know, theres really no difference except the sticker but try finding a small BX23 sticker to replace the BX22 sticker on a toy.
My wife looked for a BX23 toy last year for Xmas and could not find one. Anyone got any ideas, besides getting the 22 and dealing with it.
Before anyone jumps me about being petty, this is not really THAT important to me, I just thought Id ask while Im thinking about it.

Same problem here. One site says that the next run will be BX23, but thats been for about two years now, long before the BX24. I bought the BX22 diecast, it is really a nice model. I agree, it's not the 23, but there really aren't that many differences in the two machine anyway. The decals are amazing on the model, if you look with a microscope you can read, although not perfectly, the instructions on the backhoe. Everything moves and extends, the seat swivels, the steering works, and the hood opens showing the engine, very cool. See attached. I suppose the next edition will probably be the BX24. They make a nice Christmas present for a tractor owner, even if it's to yourself.

Do they come with pre broken air filter brackets, or does that happen only after you have owned it for a while?

hi,There is a new one with no number such as 22 0r 23 on it.Ive seen it...cant remember where.Ive asked santa for it for the china closet. It was around 50 bucks.When i went to the dealers last week i saw probably 10 22s,I bet they get sold at a discount.So where do i buy a mini golf cart roof for it when i get it so it looks real?

Funny you should ask. Since I had the die cast model for almost a year, after I posted about it I thought that I should have joked about "scratching" a break into the air filter bracket. Now you have me wondering about the new model of the BX24.

I'll bet it would be easier getting the toy company to replace a broken toy than getting Kubota to fix the broken bracket.

Maybe its because the diecast fenders were stronger than the plastic fenders on the "Big Toy".

Does the BX24 have plastic fenders? The 23 doesnt.

What would happen if you took the 22 decal off and pretended it was a 23?

Ertl and other model makers must make about 3 million different JD models from the $10 version to the very detailed ones like yours. Do you need a detailed model of a 35 year old JD farm implement? They are out there on e-bay or on the internet.

You orange owners will just have to wait a few more years to catch up with the selection.
