I have block heater, but my previous tractor did not. My McGyver solution was to use a hair dryer. It worked great. i had also thought about getting a stick on silicone heater to put under the transmission to pre-heat the hydraulic fluid.
MY first CUT at home was a 34hp New Holland. It was Amazing!
My next CUT at home is a 40hp New Holland. It performs my tasks soooo much better!
In my case, bigger is better!
I started making trails and food plots on our 80 acre hunting land with my first CUT (a 15hp Shibaura) It was Awesome!
Then I bought a 24hp John Deere and it was Awesomer!
Until I got a 30hp Kubota. I thought that was Awesomest!
Bigger was definitely better. People in NW WI had tractor...
I would add two other categories
People who's budget can't afford a larger tractor than a BX
People who just look at horsepower, and don't realize what a difference frame size, weight.larger tires, loader capacity, etc. makes.
