If someone were to give me a new BX, I would sell it. Then I would have just enough money to buy a used Terramite.
When using the BX hoe, you back up to your work, get off the seat, pick the seat up, turn it around, climb back on. Then if you want to move a few feet, yes get off the hoe, pick up the seat, turn seat around, climb back on, move tractor, get off tractor, pick up seat, turn it around, and climb on the hoe. Now that's versatile and a time saver. A real PITA too. I pull on a lever and spin around without getting off seat.
The BX front bucket can't lift as high and can only lift about a half scoop of dirt.
The BX hoe is tiny and made of thin metal, like the front bucket.
I'll stand on what I said, I can run circles around neighbor's BX. Perhaps they have the hyd pressure turned down. I don't have to run my machine wide open. Lucky if I'm doing half rpms.
I want to hop on tractor, turn the key and go to work. Why would anyone want to take a mower off, put a loader and hoe on before you can use it? Oh yea, versatile!
I leave the 6 ft belly mower on my IH year around.
I leave my 6 ft rear mower on ford all summer. About ready to remove mower, put chains on and a 7 ft snow blade.
I put about 300 hours a year on t5c. Lucky to put 50 hours on each mower.
I guess if you have to get a woman's approval and you can only have one tractor, go for it. Each to their own.
I'll stand on my original post. I can run circles around the BX. Don't believe me, stop by and I'll show you.
I'm sure there are larger Kubotas that can run circles around my T5C. The BX is a garden tractor with attachments. The terramite has it's attachments permentally welded to a solid frame. George

Today's Featured Article - Recollections of a John Deere GP - by Charlie Cook. I grew up on my dad's 280 acre general farm in Western Michigan. Dad's only tractor when I was very young was the old GP. My first recollection of this tractor was when dad allowed my brother and myself to ride on the tractor with him driving. One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
