Are all Kubota keys are the same?

They're not all the same. There were differences even in the same series. For instance, a M cab key won't fit an M with no cab. Newer excavators and skid-steers use different keys than listed in the chart above. Old L keys don't fit newer L tractors. G series keys won't fit ALL G series but some will work in F series stuff. T series weren't all the same. ZG and Z100 series have several different keys ZD series keys are different too. I have keys to fit every single line from 1990 through current and I'm here to tell you, it's a big wad of keys. I think there's about 40 of them on the ring. The ring used to be hard to keep up with but as of the last few years not so much...there's so many keys on it that it's easy to spot from even a few hundred feet away. All Kubota, with the exception of one or two JD keys and a cat key.

I think the Japanese like to confuse us. "Stupid round eye!"

My BX2680 is no lawn tractor dadburnit (It does leave a nice cut though)! That said, my new key wil not work on bx 2200/2230s. But yeah, it wil work on all the newer ones.

Here is a big surprise..... the Army's AH-64A Apache which cost roughly $17 million all use the same ignition key!!! Not sure about the LongBow Apache.

It might make you feel a little better, the Cat key I have in my pocket will start any Cat!

Almost.

Unless the casing is Yellow instead of black.

Well, Under the high stress situation of war you wouldn’t want to fumble around looking for the correct key to your ride!
