BX 23 2750D snowblower

[pncmathias]

Hi,

I am the very happy owner of a BX 23 and it has been a great machine. It has done everything I ever asked of it. I am interested in the 2750d front mount snow blower.

BX2750D snowblower.........$1900.00
BX2751 subframe mount.........586.00
BX2752 mid pto driveline.........550.00

Is this pricing reasonable? I received it from my original selling dealer.

Thank You!
Paul

I cannot comment on the price,

Its a matter of preference as you can buy a wider very heavily built rear mount "snow thrower" that does not require the subframe and Mid P.T.O. driveline.

the rear mount "snow thrower"/caster only requires 540 R.P.M. to operate and the rear mount impellers are generally larger and cast more snow per revolution where the impeller rotates 9 times per second to cast huge amounts of snow.

The front mount also has a reduced ground clearance with the sub frame where the rear mount does not.


trading up or done in iron will also not allow you to reuse the same blower on some models which loses value for you. this is not an issue with arear mounted "snow thrower"/caster.

You also have to have a place to store the subframe when the snow season is over and they love to attack you when you are not looking down.

The other issue is you cannot use a front end loader at the same time which is why a lot of folks use rear mounts.



There is a lot of information about front mounted snow blowers on this forum and the attachmernt forum as well.

Looks like about list prices. Not sure you'd get much off list on just a blower. I might like a small break if I were paying with cashola...... I'd expect to pay list if I were using a credit card.

Paul,
I have the cousin to the 2750. I have a B2781 50". I picked it up with the MM sub frame & Quick Hitch for $900 off CL last winter :licking: (the day Snowamgeddon started ). The Sub frame doesn't fit my BX22, so I converted it over into a rear mount. It's right at the limit for the lower arms after adding Pat's quick hitch. The Mid PTO spins at 2000rpm but the gearing at the SB slows it back down to 540 rpm going into the gearbox. When I converted mine from front to rear, all I had to do was remove the reduction gear gearing & hook the PTO shaft onto the gear box. A total of ~$150-$200 on parts for repair & a new shaft, that being the most $$$ part, followed by the cutting edge & shoes. So far it has worked like a champ, head arms & shoulders better than an FEL & RB. What took me 6-8hrs 2 yrs ago took 3 hrs this past snow. Well worth the time & $$$ spent on getting it set up right. The single biggest drawback is backing up. Major pain in the neck, literally. I've taken to sitting "side saddle" & steering with my left hand, & foot. The chute I crank with my right hand.
$2900-$3000 sounds a bit steep for my budget. If you can survive this winter then maybe you could find something in the spring.

T-Man.

I had a 2570 D on my Kubota. One of the best snow blowers you can get. bar none. Excellent

 

[PeterK]

Same here.

 

[Toyboy]

The 2750D works great for me also:thumbsup:

Would you guys use the 2750 blower on a bx1860? I'm trying to decide if the 2360 is really needed to handle deep snow.

thanks!

Check youtube for a video with a BX2750 on a BX1860. Seems to work effortlessly.....

The 2750 blower that you refer to............is identical to the Massey Ferguson 2360 blower that I have on my machine, and appears to be the same blower and subframe assembly that is on the New Holland sub-cuts as well.

It will do a fine job for you.

Check all of my posts, and you will find the pictures that I have posted on the blower and mount assembly.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the response. I'm sure the blower itself is a good one - I'm more interested in hearing if the 18HP of the BX1860 is enough to adequately handle the heavy snow in this area. It sounds like you're happy with its performance with your 24HP machine.

thanks again everyone. This is really helpful.

Anyone else have an opinion about the 1860/2360 decision?

The front/rear blower debacle seems to be more personal. I do think the loader would be helpful in the snow, but I'm not sure yet if the backing up to blow snow is worth the trade-off... I'm almost OK with the rear-mount at this point.

Regarding the tires, what's everyone else think there? Are turf going to be better than R4 in the snow? The 1860 isn't sold with R4, so if R4 are worse than turn then that makes my decision easier.

thanks!

I have a front blower on my BX23. With unfilled turn tires I need ballast in the back (backhoe for example) and it can get stuck if I go offroad. I try to put on my set of filled ag tires with no ballast. That seems to be a pretty good combination.

Filled rear tires are not so convenient to put on and off, but really do make a sweet combination with the front snowblower. I can zip around with the blower not worrying about what is behind me.

With regard to the the blower and horse power - that is one advantage of the hydrostatic drive - you can easily control the forward speed if the blower begins to bog down.

Don't know if this helps you, but I'm in my first winter (Buffalo area also) with a BX24/2750 blower. I have not yet worked out a system for the chute elevation, so I have been using the throttle to control how far the snow is thrown from the chute. I'm amazed how well it throws snow at even part throttle. It still doesn't bog the motor much at all, so I would assume that the 1860 would have plenty of power for this blower.

 

[KWentling]

Like was said, that looks to be the same price that my dealer quoted me which is probably list. I have a BX22 with I think 19 PTO HP that I'm using a B2650 blower (used) that I adapted to the BX for about $1200 total invested including hydraulic chute. I think that is the same blower just with different mounts. With the hydrostatic transmission you can control the load so that should work good for you. You won't regret spending the extra for the front mount if you have any neck issues. I can't even imagine having my neck cranked around like that anymore. 20 years ago, no problem. Now, big problem.

I have a BX 25 with the 2650D snow blower and it works great.Being the 1st year with it I've gone through a number of shear pins,but I now know why.Get a bag of each type of shear pins.There are 2 different types,one for the fan and the other for the augers. We've had quite a bit of snow here in MA. this year,so it's been getting a good workout and has held up to the deepest of snow.One storm was 24" and it handled that easy.

 

[VermontWacko]

I purchased the exact same setup for $2700 or 12% off MSRP 3 weeks ago -- dealer installed. Possibly with all of the snow this winter they are getting scarce in some locations. Bet they have sold hundreds of them. Also this thread.

I have that blower on a bx1850.....it will blow snow 40'.......you will not be disappointed.

 

[SeymourBota]

I'm more interested in hearing if the 18HP of the BX1860 is enough to adequately handle the heavy snow in this area.

Plenty of power for the blower.

More power typically means the temptation to move faster and if you do- you will shear the auger bolt.

Get a set of chains for your turf tires and your traction will be excellent!

 

[bradleyb]

Thanks for the advice regarding the 1860. I'm thinking I'll pick up this machine w/FEL, front-mount SB, and 54" MMM when the tax return comes in a couple weeks.
