Kubota BX25 vs Yanmar Sc2450
Verdict: Kubota BX25 vs Yanmar Sc2450
The Kubota BX25 and the Yanmar Sc2450 are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Yanmar Sc2450 leads on rated power with 24 hp against 23 hp. Yanmar Sc2450 is the lighter machine (1,145 kg vs 1,224 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota BX25 holds more fuel (25.0 L vs 22.0 L) for longer stints between fills. In short: choose the Yanmar Sc2450 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota BX25 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
