Snow BX= good in snow

[amg280]

We got alot of snow over the last few days here in NY. After I was done plowing out the driveways, I ventured into my back field to "play". I could not get this thing stuck!! I tried to snap a few pics with my camera phone but they didn't come out that great, at least not good enough to do the tractor justice!

I had my BX24 for about three days and had it buried in the mud... I used the backhoe to lift the back tires and slide boards under them!! It is also good for "dragging" yourself out of a bad place!!

Looks like a lot of fun. We haven't got any snow yet. Can't wait to try out my new hydraulic angle blade.

Looks great! I dug all my neighbors out of a 20" snowfall and didn't get any pictures. My wife said that tractor looked little in all that snow, and I can't disagree that much...felt little. Couldn't drive straight forward. I had to "plow" myself to everyone's driveway.

I only got stuck once when I fell off the side of a built-up asphalt driveway (~6" lip) and in trying to get back on the blacktop, got "over-articulated" where the right-front and left-rear wheels were hanging in the air. Pretty bad time to find out that my rear differential lock doesn't work!!!

Fortunately, two of those neighbors I dug out for free were walking past at the time, so they helped me get out. Score one for karma!

Much more snow like this and I'll have to start considering a rear blower...

I'm really happy with how ours goes through snow too, nothing seems to stop it.

I am happy to report I used BX24 to clear snow with truck blade mounted on the FEL works great too ! esp. when angled. Used the BX to pull my stuck chevy blazer this morning.

I love where I live.. most of the time. We're said to have two seasons - Summer and Mud. I feel like we're the only part of the country that has no snow right now. It always manages to go north or south of us or to warm up just enough that we only get rain or ice.

Last year we had a big ice storm followed by a little snow. I dragged the blade down the driveway and turned around to come back up. I wondered what my chances of pulling the blade uphill would be. Then I wondered what my chances of getting back up at all would be. With the diff. locked I just barely spun my way back up.

Blading the level stretches was still a challenge. The icy, wet snow just kept pulling my back end off the side of the driveway. I made the whole run cutting a hard right just to track a straight line.

That's why this year I bought a set of chains. We may never again get more than a dusting but if we do, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I had to leave the BX in the garage.

BTW - the snow in that photo? that's called a "Level 1 Snow Emergency" where I live. Level 3 (~3-5 inches) and it's illegal to drive on public roads. It's pathetic.
