I can't say, because I am not an expert on implements, tractors, or the different brands of tractors. There are some here that believe that they are and have all the answers to this and other questions. Instead of the BX being accepted as its own class of tractor, there are always those certain few that believe that it should be compared to other larger tractors that also have Cat 1 set ups. The truth be told, there are some implements that even the "compact" tractors can't handle and require a larger tractor with the Cat 1 set up. I have two landscape rakes and they are both fine on the BX tractor. The tractor hasn't any problem pulling them, however occasionally a root will grab the rake and the tractor will stop. Possibly if I had a larger tractor, this wouldn't happen, because either the tine or the rood would sub-come to the pressure. I look at the BX the same way that I look at a pick up truck. It is designed to do a certain job within its limitations and no more. If I want or need a large truck than a pick up, then I will purchase a larger model. If the pick up fulfills my needs 95% of the time, I am satisfied. Some will demand 100% of the time, but for me that isn't realistic. I just want to enjoy my tractor doing what it is designed to do best and leave the rest to its bigger brothers that I will bring home when the need arises.
