I've had a BX 1800 for 700 hours now. Not one regret. Have a FEL, turf tires and 54 inch MMM. For the person who has the hydro leak... you may want to simply tighten the connectors. I put up with a leak for a week before realizing it was an easy fix. I was new with a tractor then but have learned alot since...ON THIS SITE. Thanks to everyone for sharing.
