New BX Series - BX**90

Yes, I believe that will be a good feature providing that it will be reliable.
Doing away with treadle pedal, nope I'll keep my 80 even though it's got lots of hours. Having a Grand L my muscle memory can't adapt at my age.
Let me try again ...
Quick hydraulic attach is now optional, side by side pedal, bigger hood, heavier duty front axle and loader, wider rear axle ...

Mine was fixed by the dealer under warranty once even though it should have been new enough to have the version that doesn't leak. I haven't removed it since, I just pull the bucket off to mow. Aligning mine so it'll drop in properly can also be tricky, even on level concrete, and it looks like they revised the cradle to prevent that issue.
It is nice that it can come with the larger R14T tires from the factory - I plan to buy them for mine at some point. Factory LED headlights is also a plus - I put LED bulbs in mine, though I also have the factory ROPS lights which were already LED.
I had an x series John Deere with the side-by-side pedals and now the Kubota with the front/back. I really don't think I have a preference and the Kubota pedal setup wasn't really a learning curve and didn't have me missing the Deere setup.
It's fairly unlikely that I'd swap for the 90 series in the future. Truthfully, I bought the BX to try to get down to one machine for everything and it succeeds, but I sometimes wish it wasn't as cumbersome to mow with. I didn't want an x700 at the time because it was similar money with no loader. I think the ideal would eventually be an AWD Diesel x700 series to mow and snowblow with, then keep the Kubota for loader work or to pull things with.
Wondering if the increased HP on the Premium model is due to the common rail fuel injection? Or do they just rev at higher RPM?
The other models seem to still have the direct injection, so no computer on those ...

Typically they like all the models to have the same RPM, as the hydraulic pumps, mowers etc are set up for that speed. I'd guess the common rail would add a few HP, and probably make it run cleaner too.
That's interesting, I didn't know that ...
Massey Ferguson & John Deere increase the RPM, and use the same engine in both the 23 HP & 25 HP versions ...
Here it shows that they use different displacement for the different HP ... These are the "old" 80 series ...
We are the the EQUIP EXPO in Louisville KY this week, sadly the new BX 90 series is not here on display, they said it will be at the National Farm Machinery Show in February of '27.

Correct. I once upon a time did a table of all the then current small Kubota models: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/bx-vs-b01-vs-b50.36719/
I had assumed the new 90 series must have had higher power than the old 26hp model. But thinking about it, of course they can't. 26hp is an emissions threshold, going over 26hp typically requires addition of a DPF.
