What’s nice about the manual is you can control your RPM for implements vs speed more independently.
Pick an RPM you want. Then pick one of 9 gears.
With Hydro you get 3 gears.
Hydro is better for front end loader work.
Manual is better for grading or pulling.
Manual for Mowing fields.
Hydro for Mowing lots of obstacles.
If changing direction a lot Hydro wins.
And size wins if you have the space.
The B had better traction because of bigger tires and weight and it also had a locking rear differential. I don’t think the BX does. I used that a lot.
It’s just easier to make things smoother if it’s bigger.
B also had split brakes. Not that I used it much.
I had a hitch on my box blade.
I moved stuff around all the time.
And I could raise and lower the hitch.
The mowing deck for a Kubota cost almost as much as a low end (Home Depot) zero turn, like a CubCadet. And a low end Zero turn Is twice what conventional rider cost.

Yup, Kubota accessories are expensive. The BX does have a rear differential lock pedal just under the seat at the back of the floor area.
