Hey guys thanks for the initial info. I am new to this. I have ran multiple tractors in previous jobs and such, but never owned more than a garden tractor. for the past 4 months i have been practically swimming in a sea of model numbers and trying to figure out just what size will be appropriate for my needs. I have had one rented (b26) tlb to do a bit of drain tile work but decided id like one slightly smaller to maneuver better when in lawn area of my land. but then the BX models seemed a little small and light. But sometimes on here people seem to say that the b series isnt much better suited. All of your help is appreciated on this prior to me pulling the trigger. I am just afraid that I will be disappointed in digging ability. But like he said, "beats a shovel". But the shovel doesn't cost 12000 dollars. Ha Ha. I just wanna know Im going in right direction. So I figure if owners have input that helps. thanks again
