Gotta wonder why this took so long to come to fruition. It was so obvious.

I would be all in if they had a BX size

YEAH! …. A BX… with a TWELVE-VALVE CUMMINS..!!!

Skip to 10 mins to get to the plowin’…..

She aint fast but by gawd she sure can plow

If they could put a Cummins on my BX, wouldn’t have to worry about ballast. Plus, wouldn’t be called an oversized garden tractor anymore.
cummins does make a 4 cylinder diesel.

that's what i'm thinking. even 2 cylinder if it can make 25 hp like a BX
Less diesel

But what would @hagrid comment about then?

44 bottom plow pulled by steam…. No wonder the natives hated us.

They later added 6 more bottoms but the engine did not notice.

But, but, but, I was recently criticized in another thread herein for suggesting that folks would buy such machines if they were available and that free enterprise would supply such absent government interference. Gotta love it.

I'm guessing that the use of older pre DPF/DEF engines allows the manufacturer to circumvent existing emissions regulations.

Regulators never sleep so I expect that such activity will be shut down when/if the practice becomes popular. In the meanwhile, get 'em while you can.

Indeed, it is.

You say the Injun did not notice…??

Not sure about the Injun but the Case did not notice.

I wonder if these "old school" tractors have all of the modern features that so many farmers like and use day in and day out. For example, a joystick with auto rev mode, clutch-less forward and reverse at the push of a button, rpm management, 3-point auto raise and lower at the headlands, PTO auto engage/disengage, memory settings, ISOBUS and so on.

Yeah, these tractors sound great until you actually have to use them for real work where time is money, and you're sitting in them 8 to 10 hours a day.

Doubtful, but they cost much less.

Different market segment.

Cummins does make a 4 cylinder its the 3.9L 4BT

A 4BT would be way to big to fit in a BX, would probably weigh as much as the rest of the tractor.

Yes, but it IS a 4 cyl. I'm just being technical
