We purchased 12 acres about 1.5 years ago. It is about 30 miles from where we live and does not have any structures on it. We mow about 6 or 7 acres I would estimate with the rest in woods, creek, pond and rocks. We bought a B2920 and haul it on a trailer (I would miss not having it at the house). We started looking at the BX's, but felt the B was a better size for our needs. Besides mowing, I have hauled a lot of brush and logs to burn piles and work on cleaning. It takes me about 4 hours to mow which I prefer to do with the belly mower (5') but we also have a rotary mower for when we get behind or go into uncharted areas. I do not feel a BX would have been big enough for what we do on that rough of property. If I wasn't hauling it, I would probably opt for an L or maybe a B7800 which would give me a bit more weight and power and keep the belly mower capability. Around here, L's are probably easier to find used than some of the CUT's, but I don't know about your area.
Good luck and enjoy the property
