Just wondering how can I tell the year of my Kubota? I bought it in 2008 but I'm not sure if it is in fact a 2008? Also the model number BX1850TV54 does not really match up with anything when I look up parts. Everything listed is for BX1850D.

There is really no way to tell, Dealer might be able to give you the answer, it really doesn't matter, life of a tractor is not like the life of an automobile!
Autos, go by miles and years old.
Tractors go by model and work done (hours of use). ;)

Not all tractors.
My old 640 Ford numbers tell me model, year made and more.
My L175 has no pedigree numbers, best guess, between 1972 and 1977?

According to the information I got from Kubota the older machines were only dated by the date they were put into service (sold).

It's not exact, and they could have been changed in the past, but the wheels usually have a date of manufacture stamped in them. It can give you a ball park idea at least. The wheels usually would have been made before the tractor was, so it can tell you the tractor is no older than XXXX.

I have the same question, I just recently purchased a L4600 which I assumed was a leftover 2013 tractor as it has been replaced by the L4701.

I contacted Kubota with the question, asking what year my tractor is and if they could tell me the date of manufacture. Of course, I had provided Kubota the serial number of the tractor. Surprisingly - Kubota responded and said that even though it is a L4600 it is a 2014 tractor.

I just bought a new L4600 and the date of Mfg. tag on it says 2013 on the left side of the engine down low
