Re: Will a BX Plow Snow
Your BX will push a LOT of snow with the FEL. I have a BX2230, so a tad smaller than yours. I got mine last fall and it was a fairly wimpy winter, but I had no problem pushing the bucket through a 3 foot pile of snow. What annoyed me the most about the FEL is that it spills off to both sides. So you end up making 3 passes instead of one. It gets the job done just fine, I just don't find it efficient. I am looking for a rear blade this winter, but might have to balance that off with 2 kids in college. If I do that, I will probably still push the snow with the fel, but then tilt the blade to one side and try to get the spilll all over to one side. I've got loaded rears, turfs all around. I have a 3ph weight bar of about 275 lbs. The blade might be comparable weight, so I don't think traction will be an issue. I'm a little concerned about the bucket edge scraping into my pavement and a blade with a hard rubber edge would alleviate those fears.

Yep, It'll plow. You can see the snow is above the blade and deeper than the rear tires. Since this picture I've put chains on the rears and almost nothing stops it. If the blade is perpendicular to the travel, it doesn't stop. When the blade is angled the snow can push the front of the tractor off to the opposite side so I've figured out how to plow the really deep snow without having an angle on the blade. 2 winters ago we had 18" each night for 3 nights and I ran out of places to put the snow, but the BX 23 kept pushing it. I bought the front snow blower last year and of course that meant no snow. Gold Member Join Date Jul 2010 Posts 464 Location Mapleton , Queensland , Australia Tractor F3690AU 72" Elite Member
