I kind of gather:
BX - subcompact
B - compact
L - standard
M - mid-size
Is that right?

Yes. There is also a G- garden tractor.

I'm not sure I'd call an M-series mid-sized.

- Kubota Tractor Loader L3560 HST+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3,700 pounds bare tractor, 5,400 pounds operating weight, 37 horsepower
The capability of tractors is determined by their weight.
Here are Kubota open station, bare tractor weights:
BX = 1,400
B = 1,566 - 1,874
L = 2,623 - 3,300
Grand L = 3,500 - 4,000
+ MX
M = 5,200 - 5,400

I think both the B and L models would be called "compact utility" tractors, meaning they are smaller and lighter than a farm utility tractor. More optimized for rural property work (mowing, digging, clearing snow, maintaining roads and driveways, etc.), rather than farm work (field work, hay and feed chores, etc.). B's are smaller than L's. Also there are "standard" and "full-featured" models of B's and L's. The delux L's are called "Grand L's", but they don't have a "Grand B". I gave up trying to figure out the model numbers; you about have to read the specs to see what any given model is.

The first 2 digits are usually HP. But weight defines what a tractor can do, HP just defines how fadt it will do it.
