I may have commented on this before and if so sorry for the redundancy. Over the last twenty years I have had several BX and B tractors including a cabbed B which I don't recommend as it is very top heavy. Anyway as others have said the BX is great little tractor but with its limited ground clearance and two speed transmission it is limited. The B is a much more rugged machine, not that much larger as it can still get in tight places, has a three speed transmission, differential brakes, much better ground clearance and much better ground clearance. As to mowing I have had middle mowers and they are OK at best on a BX they make a nice garden mower. I finish mower on a B will really mow BUT it turning radius is larger and thus harder to get in tight places. The best answer I have learned after much and expensive trial and error is a B tractor and I have a 2601with FEL and pallot forks ( a great and often used tool) and a Zero turn mower with a 60 inch deck . Yes more investment but tools specifically designed to get the job done. By the way the 2601 B is, size wise about halfway between the BX and the 2650 B and has the 26 hp engine and a larger hydraulic pump than the BX , As I said Ive gone both ways and the B is a true tractor that will do the hard work and yet is small enough to get into tight places
For the comment about the dust with a Zero Turn I have solved that by adding a down draft fan on the top hoop of the ROPS on both my B and my Zero turn, keeps the dust and insect away and adds some cooling in the summer
