Loaders usually arent removable, but the Back hoes are

Depends on the machine again - if you go the TLB route (contractor series) they have fixed ROPS which dont fold down. If you go the standard compact tractor route, the ROPS easily folds down (or its a option to do so)

Are there any negatives with a TLB 110 compared to another JD with similare 40 hp that you can think of?

If you want a small contractor type unit...a TLB 110 is not bad...if you want an agricultural leaning tractor, plowing, tilling, PHD, Woodchipper, et cetera...the 110 is NOT the device you want...

Most smaller farms have one dedicated TLB device, and then a smattering of FEL type AG tractors...

and then one or two dedicated tillage machines...

To address the main question, what is the difference between the "X" and "CX", you can look at the parts list on the John Deere website. As far as the 300 series, they all use the same "mast". The part numbers are the same. The 300 and 300X use the same "boom" and the 300CX has its own boom. The bucket cylinder and boom cylinder are different for each model. The difference in cylinders between the 300 and 300X are bore diameter (X is bigger and the stroke is the same). The difference between the 300X and 300CX cylinders is the stroke which is different on the X (the CX has another knuckle between the boom and bucket).
I'm guessing the 200 series is the same.
In theory they are interchangeable since they all have the same mast. The difference is the bigger cylinders would require more pump flow to have the same travel speed. The larger cylinder bore can deliver more force (hence the bigger capacity spec).

Thank you and very clearly explained! BTW let me be the first to say welcome to the M.U!
