Kubota Tractor Corporation is adding five BX90 models in three trims to its range of sub-compact tractors, machines meant for property management and small hobby farms. They will be available from authorised dealers in the United States and Canada early next year.
Kubota introduced its first sub-compact tractors in 2000 as a cross between a garden tractor and a large-frame compact tractor, with a three-point hitch, a power take-off, a loader and a mid-mounted mower, Matt McDonald, the company's senior product operations manager, told AgNavigator. The company has been the top-selling tractor brand across classes for 20 years running, according to EDA/UCC equipment data for 2025.
Across the BX90 series, loader capacity rises to 721 pounds with the LA355 loader and 904 pounds with the LA405, the hydrostatic transmission has side-by-side pedals, and mowing options include 54- or 60-inch decks.
The entry model, the BX2190, has 19.3 gross horsepower and the LA355 loader. The BX2390 Deluxe, at 21.6 horsepower, adds an electronically controlled power take-off, a telescopic stabiliser and the LA405 loader. The BX2690 Premium, at 23.9 horsepower and described by Kubota as its most advanced BX model to date, has a full-colour LCD display showing engine load, fuel use and error codes, an electronically controlled engine with programmable speed settings and a throttle-up button on the joystick. The BX2390S and BX2690S Premium come with an automatic stabiliser lock, a BT604 backhoe and a flip-up seat.
"Whether it be material handling, moving snow, mowing, [the BX90 series] is essentially a Swiss Army knife of a small tractor," McDonald said.
The launch follows the Grand L70 series a year ago and Kubota's release of its WorkSmart Autosteer guidance system for compact and utility equipment, a technology previously offered only on larger farm machines.
