Thanks for the advice. The BX series is the belly mower if I’m not mistaken. I just hope whatever I get is reliable and somewhat easy for me to work on. I have a lot of grass to mow. I will definitely be keeping the 8N as it still runs good but doesn’t really have the HP to push the 5ft finish mower I have on it. 4ft is normally the limit on the 8N so I’m pushing its boundaries. It’s just too cool and not worth selling imo.
25 has a rear PTO and 3 point.
I opted for the 60 something deck for small areas around the house and trees.
Would have had to back in with a ‘Tail Dragger”
I was alone ,took the deck off in winter for snow use with the bucket but in was heavy. Took me 45 to an hour
