Snowblower on my BX24

[ChuckinNH]

Get the dealer to clarify what he means by "not available". Sounds to me like he means he doesn't have one, but they certainly are "available" for that tractor.

I have a BX25 with the 2750D front mount blower.

It works even better than I expected, and takes me about an hour to do:
- 1200' of gravel driveway, 3 passes wide
- The mouth of the driveway to the road, clearing out what the plows put there
- 3 tennis court sized areas, (2 parking, 1 chickens)
- and a handful of paths around the house/outbuildings

Takes about an hour to do, whether its 3" or 12"

This morning was 12" of very heavy wet snow, and I was even able to point the discharge straight ahead and clear the snow + blowings, just had to take it a little slower.

I'd recommend buying 20 of each type of shear bolt. I've gone through at least that much (found a wood pile, found the 100' extension cord, picked up lots of big rocks in the driveway) They're a nothing part unless you don't have any, and then they appear to be everything.

It's an awesome machine, and I'm glad I didn't listen to "local wisdom" and get a plow truck or use the back blade.

Call Barlows and see if they can ship a quick hitch over to you. Should be simple enough to do

Great, Sam! When I bought my tractor, the blower was the main reason I got it. It was expensive, but I'd also say it was worth every ore! (Oh, I guess you folks are using euros now?)

Where are you in Sverige? Fyrtio ar igor Jag hadda en flycka-ven i Danderyd. Almost married her. Spent one summer water-skiing on Siljan.

Here's some pics of the quick-hitch; Kubota's is slightly different, but the same idea. You'll love it when you get it.

Have you considered a rear mount blower? They are not as comfortable to run but they allow the FEL to stay on and they are MUCH less money. Unlike with the front blower, there are numerous brands to choose from. I ended up with a 60" unit and am glad I didn't go any narrower.

Ok thank for pics on the quick hitch, I got the idea how that works. By the way John Irving, great author!


fish6942, Yes that is a very good option, I will go for the front mounted one.

You will have to take off the front bumper to mount the quick hitch.

Please send us pictures when you get everything mounted.
