Johnthomas. Has this been building up for a while?
But hey I know what you are trying to say. When someone posts "Hey guys I'm planning on digging an open cut mine. Do you think a BX will do the job?" And someone answers "Mine has never let me down" I get kind of annoyed too. Its not real helpful.

First time tractor buyers rarely appreciate the importance of weight and traction. (In fact they might see 'weight' as a negative). They compare HP, bucket size, lift capacity etc without really understanding that its all rather meaningless if your wheels are spinning. Provided you have the room, if you are loading, digging, dozing and plowing the weight of a B (or bigger) will usually help you do it easier and safer.
