Strengths Over achieving tank of a machine...Dont let its size full you, this is a heavy well built serious tractor. Fit and finish is top quality and is a cut above its competitors. I have a 10 acre wooded lot and it is more than adequate for clearing woods/brush, moving snow and general light excavation work. The FEL is smooth and powerful. I have my rear tires ballast with Rimguard (aka beat juice). It's a have to have option for really moving heavy items with the FEL. The 54" mid mount mower mows clean and does a great job with just half power. The 4wd climbs up hills like a goat and with the ballast turf tires goes very well in the snow. The power steering is out standing and turns sharper than most lawn tractors. The standard options and amenities are plentiful. It's smaller size is a big advantage in tight woods and mowing around obstacles. The seat is comfortable and it's platform is very spacious and is suited for bigger guys.

Weaknesses They can be a bit pricey once you add up the FEL and attachments. You do get what you pay for.

Overall I highly recommend this tractor for large estate properties and small farm use. Great for horse farms where you need a agile tractor to do every thing. It is a over achiever that is built like a tank. Well worth the money...

Strengths This tractor has plenty of power. 54in cut does fine. Surprised how quiet tractor runs.

Weaknesses It does suck the fuel more than I thought it would. Wish I would have took Turf Tires instead of Ag Tires.

Overall Great buy. Would buy another one.

Strengths Does everything I ask. I run a Wallenstein wood chipper for hours on end doing clean up in the 20 acres of bush on my property, it handles a 4 foot rototiller, full loader buckets of dirt without trouble (as long as you have ballast on it). I also use a 4 foot snowblower and a 60 inch mower deck. Lost of power for all those things.

Weaknesses Not really a weakness but you do need to ballast the back end for loader work.

Overall Great little tractor for general yard work and landscaping. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Strengths Amazing what this little 18Hp diesel can do. Great value for what it is, a subcompact at the price of many garden tractors. Sips fuel, maybe 1/2gal/hr.

Weaknesses Needs lots of ballast, the rear if a bit light without weights. Underside is a bit exposed for crashing though the woods.

Overall I'm totally impressed with what the BX can do. You would never expect so much power from somthing just marginly bigger than a garden tractor. Kubota financing was good, I was a bit turned off by the insurance requirement but I guess the price is fair.
