Anybody running a 3 pt snowblower on a BX?

[diesel85]

I run a 60" rear blower on my BX2200. I keep the loader on to add weight and to do ice scraping and snow pile management. I found a neat trick, pick up a bucket of snow, and it adds free weight to the front that you can easily dump. I've blown 3' drifts with ease.

When it's really windy out, I wear my motorcycle helmet treated with Rain-X, and keep a rag with me to act as a windshield wiper. Works fantastic.

As far as looking backwards, only time I do is when I start getting close to the house or obstacles. Otherwise I pay attention to the front tires. After doing it a few times, you get the hang of it with no sore necks.

Most of my neighbors run rear mount blowers, including some that are dual auger style. So that is what I'm accustomed to seeing. Only time I really see front mounted blowers are on lawn tractors or government owned machines that can afford the front mounted option.

Honestly, I prefer having a bucket and a snow blower just because I can keep using the tractor for other tasks and automatically have a ballast of the snow blower. Taking the loader or bucket off kind of defeats the purpose of my tractor.

Just wondering if people are using 3 pt blowers on their BXs, if so, what brand and size seems to be working or not. On iously the worst part is going in reverse and craning your neck to see.

shameless plug..

I have a complete FRONT blower setup available. As new,
BX2810 "K-Connect"
BX2816 50" blower.
used a couple of snows on a BX2860. Literature indicates it all fits 2380, But IDK.
direct mail me if interested. It's just sitting...

My original comment is in this thread , so now I have been using my rear blower for 8 years, works fantastic, 2 foot deep sections many a time [ 300 ft of driveway) I leave the front bucket on so plenty of weight and front and then I can backblade. Four wheel drive always engaged. View attachment 3958121

Do you have much of a grade on your driveway?

Not that I need to snow blow or plow, however when I get snow here in Canada it can be 30 inch drifts and my traction as stated earlier is fine. ........I do have a very steep hill to my upper meadow that I go up when no snow and as long as weight on front and back, 4wd gets me up that gravel road. But years ago I put 2 inch spacers on rear wheel hubs that removed most of the pucker factor going up or down that hill.......
