I break down the announcement that puts Kubota’s BX90 series into a direct fight with John Deere, while revealing the bigger technology strategy behind the company’s latest moves.

I explain what the new BX90 models change, how Kubota is using autonomy in the M5 Narrow, and what its Transformer robot and Physical AI concepts could mean for future equipment. I also examine the electric machines already being tested and used in Europe.

Finally, I look at Kubota’s hydrogen combustion engine, the infrastructure and regulation challenges it faces, and the financial conditions supporting all of these bets. I separate what is available or operating today from what remains a concept, then lay out what buyers should consider before choosing a new tractor.
