jburk, they are both nice little machines, and of course, we knew JimBinMI was such a fan of his TC18 that he'd recommend it. Of course, he hasn't used it enough to get it broke in yet./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I think you'll find that most of us would tell you to buy the one you like best, and you can't hardly go wrong. However, if you can tell us more specifically how you intend to use it, how much property you maintain, etc., we might be able to give you some more pros and cons. You mention a mid-mower and if that's the main use, you might find the BX a little more stable with a lower center of gravity. And I don't know where you live, but did you notice the motor being in the BX "backwards"? With the fan pulling the air from the rear and blowing it toward the front, I suspect if might be a little cooler riding in hot weather. On the other hand, the TC loader will handle more, and if you're going to be on rough terrain, it'll give you a little higher ground clearance. Just a few thoughts off the top of my head./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
