It's mostly first-impressions and owner-to-owner chat about size, weight sinking into wet ground, and ease of use, not a technical walkthrough.
Posted by the Piney Grove Homestead channel, a personal homestead vlog featuring an informal guest comparison rather than a dealer or technical review.
The BX23S owner said the L3901 feels like a real tractor, stronger and bigger, with more hydraulic lift, but the BX23S is lighter and won't sink into wet ground as much.
No. With just a couple minutes of explanation on the hydrostatic pedal and PTO, the BX23S owner adapted quickly and mowed two straight five-foot lines.
No, the L series does not have a mid-mount PTO, so mowing requires a tow-behind mower, either a brush hog or a finished mower.
The L3901 weighs around 2500 pounds, while the BX23S is roughly 1200 to 1500 pounds lighter, according to the owner.
