I spoke with the Kubota tech rep today and he said that the BX 23 was basically unchanged from the BX 22. The differences were only cosmetic with a new engine surround and hood. The BX 2230 now has an optional cruise control, but it is not available on the BX 23. I asked about it being offered as a "accessory" item rather than as a factory installed item and he informed me that it was quite complicated and he didn't think that it would be offered as an add on for dealer installs. The link that you provided, doesn't picture the new models yet, but does have the new information. The BX 23 pictured looks just like the BX 22. Thanks for posting the link.......
