New BX Series - BX**90

[JimDeL]

Kubota introduced the BX "90" Series.

BX90-Series | Sub-Compact Tractors | Kubota Canada

Looks like the 1880 is being replaced by the 2190, and you can "Choose from Standard, Deluxe, and Premium trim levels."

Seems to be a complete redesign of the whole BX series. No mention of what the new prices will be.

Interesting that they abandoned the treadle pedal in favor of side by side HST pedals.

I find NOTHING intuitive about the side by side pedals !!!!!!!

I have to "drive" a 50 hp JD at work, the pedals are side by side - big feet - big boots, hell the computer goes bananas IF you somehow hit the two at the same time.

I know many of you do NOT like the back and forth of the rocker style - but that is intuitive naturally.

Sears Lawn Tractor, HST was a hand lever on the side with a brake pedal on the left. Kubota was/is pedal front and back and a brake on the left. JD X754 is a side by side pedal, with a brake up high and on the right ABOVE the 'go' pedals (near impossible to use except parking). Mu old brain is able to deal with going from machine to machine though I prefer the BX25D setup.

You could swap it for a B7200....then the new release won't have any affect.

I don't have a "dog in this fight", but the treadle pedal was a concern for me when I was "in the market"....

As a Noob, I originally thought that pedals similar to automotive gas/brakes would be the best.

However; The "treadle pedal" has became so familiar, so fast, that it feels very natural and I would have a difficult time adjusting to a "side-by-side" set up at this point.

Maybe(pretty sure) the "marketing guys" had something to do with the change???

One thing is for sure though...hopefully, the nimrod in charge of putting the brakes above the gas has/had nothing to do with the change
