Is Kubota Discontinuing The Bxx20 Series?

[kcender]

Like the title says.I thought I read on here somewhere that Kubota will not be making any more Bxx20 series tractors.Does anybody know any more about this,is it even true?I know when I look on the Kubota Canada website they still show the B2320 and B2620 but not the B2920.What will they be replaced with,if it is true?

I talked to Messicks two days ago and they said that the 2920 is discontinued. The 2320 and 2620 are still available. Not sure about the bxx20 series. You may have read one of my post that said the 20 series being discontinued. That information was given to me by a deal when quoting on a new tractor. I would believe Messicks over the other dealer any day. Sorry for the confussion.

I thought their Tier 4 replacements were coming out soon??

Yes the new Bxx50 series ROPS models are out now. I would imagine they will replace the 20 series sometime soon?
Think I still would have bought my 2620 even if the 50 series were there at the time.....just on price alone.

Spent an hour at the dealer to find out the same today. The Bxx20 series is done. Whatever is out is all that's available. The B2920's have all but vaporized.
The Tier III engines are the deal, but I see in the B2650 brochure it says the engine is not particulate filter equipped.
I'm excited because the B2650 ROPS model has been introduced with the LA534 Loader with SSQA, forks, and blade. The big issue is the cost... $2500 more than the B2620... That's without the SSQA.

It seems odd that the Bxx20 series would be replaced with the Bxx50 series as the 20 series were the utility models, whereas the 50 series are deluxe models with a lot more options.I haven't priced the new models but if the B2650 open station is only 2500 dollars more than the B2620 then it seems like a good deal.The B2650 looks like quite a bit more tractor,especially the FEL.I don't think the B2650 has the DPF as it only applies to engines of a certain size and up.

There is so much hostility against mandatory Tier IV that tractor manufacturers are emphasizing continuity, rather than change.

I have a new Tier IV L3560. On arrival the Kubota dealer and I were both surprised how different it is from predecessor L3540. Especially surprising to me was increase in folded ROPS height from 77-1/2" to 82". (My garage door is 80") The L3560 represents a significant change/upgrade.

All the Grand Ls use a single/common Operator's Manual so the changes are consistent through the LXX60 series.

I expect it is the same marketing every Tier IV Kubota.

It is a horsepower thing with Tier 4 that is causing the change. Kubota has always built tractors in that chassis range.

I took delivery of a B2650 cab model with LA 534 FEL last December..Dealer told me at the time that the Tier 4boundary was over 26hp (eg 27hp and above) thus the B2650 is not DPF. The B3350 is DPF. No issues with my unit so far other than some minor cab issues...disconnected windshield washer hose in the roof and a radio antenna that broke off due to the brittle white metal mount. There was also a loosely connected hydraulic hose on the front attached snow blower but this was a dealer installation problem. All issues were quickly addressed by the dealer. The tractor is used in my snow clearing business and that cab is a delight on those cold mornings out there blowing snow.

Isn't the B2650 larger than a B2620. I thought the B2625 was the size of a B3200.
