Hello!
I've been reading and learning from the forums for months, so I'm finally going to post.
But first, let me say THANK YOU!!! to everyone who posts solutions here, it has saved me sooooo much time and trouble as a new tractor owner (only had the BX for about 6 months).
Now to my question: I have a BX2230 with the BX2750 front blower. I also have a FEL and a Kubota ballast box for that. I'm wondering if I should leave the ballast box attached when using the blower? I'd kind of like to take it off because it would make the tractor somewhat shorter and easier to maneuver around the house. Believe it or not, but it's going to start snowing here this week or next!
I realize that the extra weight should improve traction, but I have tire chains for all 4 tires (we get LOTS of clear ice here). Will it affect the stability of the tractor, or overload the front axle?
Thanks again for all of the previous help posted here, and any info on this one!
