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.
