2006 Model Definition

[Gowfster]

I'm on the verge of taking delivery of a 2005 BX23, and I've heard new rumors in these forums that the BX's are seeing change for 2006. Does anyone know what is rumored to change? I need to make a snap decision on waiting if it is something good, or if is the 'graphics' update only and not worth waiting for.

I have also heard the samething from a dealer but all is quiet...

There is somthing, I have no idea what.

 

[Gowfster]

When is it 'normal' for Kubota to release the new info?

 

[MessickFarmEqu]

We will find out in a few months, but you probably won't see product till next spring. Thats now the normal product cycles work.

There's some scuttlebutt over on the JD board about an upcoming replacement for the 2210 due next month. When that model hits the market that should give some indication as to what Kubota has in store.

I would guess Kubota and JD will be doing some one-upmanship with their Sub-CUTs.

A few months ago on this site there was some postings about a rumor of a B7610 sized TLB coming from Kubota. I guess this would fit in between the BX23 and the B21 - anybody heard any more about that one?

 

[MessickFarmEqu]

Here is the DYI version.

 

[jim_wilson]

If Kubota had a B7610 sized TLB that was more along the lines of the BX23 / B21 I would have probably gone for that over the BX23 I ended up getting. The major thing that turned me off to a B7510/B7610 sized tractor was that the backhoe hung so far off the back of the tractor vs the BX. The B21 specs say that there is a 20 or 21 degree angle of of departure and the BX I think has something similar. The 7610 with either the Kubota or Woods backhoe hanging off the back does not have this. The BX and B21 style 4 point backhoe hookup makes for very easy swaps between backhoe and 3pt implements. If they put a 4pt mount backhoe on a B7610, put a swivel seat and more spacious ROPS like the BX23, and put a quick attach setup on the FEL bucket I would trade in my BX23 in a heartbeat. And make sure the backhoe has at least a 7ft dig depth too.

They don't release much until near the delivery date. The dealer show in the winter is probably when the first photos will be seen. I've heard it's like a military lock down at the Georgia facility.

Sounds pretty exciting though. I'd wait if you can manage it /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You should look for a B21 when they redesign it. I don't think the loader will come off though if you need that option. Prob not great for mowing finished lawn either.

Mowing's not a problem with this set up. </font>

I actually thought about a B21 when I was originally looking at tractors - the used ones were much$$ and the new ones were way over what my budget was at the time. Also the B21 is about one size larger than what I really need. That is why I mentioned that a B7610 sized TLB with the features I mentioned previously would appeal to me. A tractor setup like that would be in between the BX23 and B21 in size. While the toughness of the B21 is nice I think for what I do the adaptability of regular CUT would be more useful- being able to put a MMM on it, higher PTO HP, and the ability to take the FEL off if needed would be nice.

I believe when Kubota replaced the B2710 and B2910 with the B2630 and B3030, they replaced the 3 point backhoe with a 4 point. It seems that the smaller b-series line is due for rev, and we can always hope they'll do the same for it, along with coming out with a "luxury" model with position control and deluxe seat (to replace the no longer produced B2410).

Has there been any new news regarding a rev for the smaller b-series line? I'm still lamenting the b2410 being discontinued. In the end it ended up keeping me from making a purchase. I also have always been very interested in the BX23, but its loader and 3ph were just too weak (the upgraded BX24 has me reconsidering), and I didn't like the loss of flexibilty with attachments because of the limited cat 1 3ph. I'd be very interested in something similar to the BX23 in the smaller b-series line.

How much does the Woods backhoe for the B7610 cost?

 

[jcollins]

I posted pictures from the dealer meeting on our web site. Lansdowne-Moody The B2630 and 3030 is what replaced the other B series. You can put a Loader and backhoe on both of these models. Click on the whats new page for the picts.

The B2630 is just too big for my needs. Why has Kubota kept the B2410 on it's website and in it's brochures when it hasn't been available for well over a year?
