Although it was fun trying to abuse this little machine tonight, I have to say it is built well because it did not break. I tried out the front blade trying to move the brush pile, which the machine could not do. It was fun slamming into the pile wishing that something would budge - but it didn't. So I tried the compost pile. I could take little bites, but the stench held me back. Now the rear tiller. Went over to the back field where I have an unused garden plot. The tiller worked OK, but only if I creeped as slow as my Troy-built tiller. In fact, I honestly believe that the troybuilt does a better job, much faster than this little tractor. It was really no surprise. IMHO, the BX1500 is a scale version of a real tractor. One of my hopes was to push snow with it, but it won't do the job....NO WAY! I'm thinking "Get a shovel or let the kid play with this thing." What makes this 'story' interesting is that my neighbor came over to see the tiller in action and wanted to try it out on his Green AWS garden tractor. No sooner than he was here, he had the tiller off and hooked up to his machine in no time, the whole time drooling like a dog with a bone. He fired up his Green machine, pulled the switch and that thing was tilling up the garden nearly as fast as he was mowing the lawn. A little exaggeration there. I figured the Kubota just suffered a major defeat to the Green AWS garden tractor once again. Long story short, tomorrows BX23 is going to show that Green AWS garden tractor a thing or two....I hope! The kubota struck out big time. I had my fun,
