Back blade for BX2230

[blue85]

Would like to use a back blade to remove snow and maintain 300 feet of gravel driveway. Will this work or would I be better off with a rake to maintain the drive and use the backblade for snow removal. I have a BX2230 with loader and Woods backhoe

I like box blades for driveway work but a blade can do it to, you'll need a five footer!

Sure, I use a 5' King Kutter Standard (not XB) backblade for snow removal and maintaining my driveway. One that has tilt and offset will work better, but then again, I only paid a little over $200 for mine, so you get what you pay for. Bought it at TSC.

I want to get a rear blade for my NH TC24DA. It has a 48" rear track. I've been looking at the KK 60" but wondered if it'll cover the track when angled very much. Would it?
Thanks much

60" should cover your tracks. I use a 60" behind my BX1500 and it works well.
