Good day.
It’s hard for me to have much opinion, based on the detail provided, I don’t think really there is a bad option unless you refine / specify your criteria.
From what I understood above it seems like you may have some homestead tasks, but for me to give suggestion sort of hard as I don’t understand the scope of your work. For example, you have compost bin, correct? How large is it? Single bin, multiple station, stations large enough to get a loader in? Could be barely enough for shovel and wheel barrow or could be big enough to need a B or L? Sort of hard for me to imagine. Either anything from a BX to an M may be fine.
I did not understand d a requirement for a PTO, but maybe I missed it. Mowing with exmark, correct? If no need PTO, do you need a tractor? Or a CTL/CWL? Yes that’s way more than 8…or if want to prioritize the digging maybe a mini ex and have ability for end or arm tool for auger holes or something. I don’t know you do or dont need any of the suggestions honestly, they seem extreme unless know thy task/scope.
Ultimately as others suggested think about what you might want to lift or how much weight you like a machine to have IMO.
It’s your money. Get what you want. If you want a BH, get one, they are awesome. I genuinely think for your tasks, if not need a PTO, then there is a lot of overlap between a BX and B and standard L…I think figure out scope of tasks and how much want to lift or how much machine weight you want to have. That will start separating models that have some overlap.
If really not sure rent some different sizes before you buy, or don’t. Again it’s your money. Get what you want. We will do our best to help you spend it.
