Kubota BX 22 vs newer models

[FarmerMac]

On a budget and need TLB, mid mount mower, front snowblower.
Considering BX 22 with low hours.

Questions: Besides horse power, are there any significant differences
between a BX 22 and the newer models that should help make my
decision? Thanks

Not really .

The only difference I can think of that would be important is on the early BX's, the loader valve stayed with the endloader. Most of the time this wouldn't be a big deal, unless you had a front blade or something you wanted the loader valve for. I think on the BX 22 the valve stays with the tractor, but I'm not sure.

There are other changes I'm sure, but nothing I would consider important.

I believe the 3PH was a limited Cat 1 vs (a less limited) Cat 1 on the newer models. Difference was that the 3PH arms were lower on the early models so they don't lift implements as high. Also, there was a seat upgrade offered on the old models so the one you're looking at may or may not have the nicer seat. I know there are other, lesser differences, but I can't recall what they are.
