Snow Snow blade for BX22?

jlbota · Sep 16, 2003

Has anyone purchased a 60inch power angle front snow blade for their BX?
Just wondered if it was worth the $$$ and time to invest in one.
I already have the 4 way valve on my BX22 So it would cost me around $1500 for the blade and subframe.
It seems to me it may be useful but I like to get educated opinions first before dropping any cash for such a purchase. Thanks to everyone in advance. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have the blade and love it. I used it last winter to plow our subdivision's road and 7 of the neighbors' driveways. The road is close to 400 yards and each driveway is probably at least 50 feet. The hydraulic angling really makes the blade a pleasure to use because you can quickly move the blade to any angle. It's a very heavy duty blade, and you'll want the skid shoes too.

I have a 2200 and bought the manually adjusted angle blade. It is quick connect to the sub-frame and I really don't change the angle that much while plowing.
The blade is used for light snow or plowing when the ground is not frozen. For heavier snow I use the bota front mount snowblower. Last winter I kept a 300' gravel drive open without any problem!

Looks like a great setup! It looks very well built. How hard is it to install and remove? I am thinking I would like to be able to switch to the front end loader for piling the snow and such.

Thanks /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
