Can't decide between BX23 and LA25

[Pop Goozdaweezel]

I have really steep property so a more squat tractor is desireable. I don't need
a bh as I have a TYM273 with hoe and loader. Leaning to the LA w/ 3rd valve & 4 way bucket. Local dealer has both. What is the difference in loader arm strength between the pin on arms and quick attach? I can order the quick attach adapter cheaper than the dealer wants. Probably the 4 way and 3rd valve too.

Cannot figure what an LA model is.

Friend of mine has had a BX23 for 3,000 hours with very few problems: couple hydraulic lines and starter replaced. Think since about 2003.
