Thanks for all the input. I should clarify that while we have 92 acres, only what I listed in the first post is available to work - the rest is in very steep incline and forest. So it's not 92 acres to work on, but rather around 10, maybe 12 if we cleared the lower areas of foothills.

How does the snowblade work on a BX? We have about 1/8 of a mile of gravel drive with two hills. In the past, a neighbor with a "real" tractor has plowed us out, but we're looking to do it ourselves. Will the BX manage it?

Besides the BX, is there another sub-compact you would recommend? If we move up to regular compact, how to judge between the "big three"? (green, blue and orange, is that it?)
Thanks.

If you plan on using it in the garden I would buy the Troy Built 7-8 hp model.You can plant your garden on 30 inch rows and use the tiller all year. The large tiller you are looking at will not fit down the rows. We fall plow our garden and go over it in the spring with my wife's 7 hp Horse model with no problems. I just changed the tines this spring for the first time in 9 years but I admit I should have done it last year. Our garden is approx 75' x 100', is use to be bigger but we are cutting back. The tiller you want is great for big jobs if it takes out your tire tracks but is no good for garden maintenance. Remember bigger is not always better.<br> Good luck<br>
