First off, did you ever use the backhoe on the BX, even once?

Also, I think if you've only got a bucket for snow removal this year, you may end up really missing that snow blower.

bandit67,
Actually that BX23 has dug many feet of trenching to replace or repair drain tiles from around my home. Took out quite a few stumps that were in fence line, and hauled up-teen yards of dirt and stone, and firewood. I have to admit, I'm quite fussy with my equipment, I do all the required maintenance ahead of recommended schedule.Before winter comes calling I repaint and yes, wax my tractors. As you can see I do have backup equipment for snow removal, just in-case needed.The 2005 F350 4X4 PSD has a Fisher Minute Mount 8' blade with a snow foil. You are correct about the snow blower however, I've had front mounts and rear mounts, loved them both. At present I have no snow blowers for front or back. Humm, maybe next year.

I did put the cutting edge back on the newly powdercoated plow and hooked it up to the tractor last night, hoping doing that would ensure we wouldn't get the 16" snowstorm overnight that they were calling for. Fortunately, the overpaid meteorologists were wrong again (they completely missed the 8" storm on Monday).

I am not yet done with my pre-winter projects around the house & property, so I need the snow to hold off for another month.

Here's a pic of the plow after I got it back from the powder coater earlier this summer.
And some pics of the first snow of the season on the last day of summer.

Are you pulling our leg????

Nope.

Here's a pic from Sunday after I got our toy cleaned up. A nice warm, sunny day with the leaves barely even starting to change. Then the pic from Monday afternoon.

Still snowing off and on today. This low pressure system has been parked over us for 3 days. Fortunately, the ground is still warm enough that it's not piling up.

I just took delivery on a Kubota 63" front mounted snow blower with hydraulic chute rotate and electric chute deflect. I didn't take pictures before I took it off (sorry). I Will be taking care of the snow on my 100' paved driveway and 600' gravel woods road with it and a rear blade. I am actually looking forward to the first snowfall here in NH...I must be crazy for saying that. As soon as I get it re-attached I will take some pictures and post them. From what I have read here, many of you, who have the Kubota front snowblower, love them. Your recommendations had a lot to do with my decision to get one.

We had a hard frost here in North Central PA Sunday as well, but last night it was so warm and humid we turned the A/C on to sleep. But it is for sure right around the corner.
