I'm a second year BX owner. First year I cleared our diveway with a rear blade - twice (that's how many times it snowed in western NY). It worked pretty well but I'm thinking we might get a little more snow this year. The blade's ok but I'm aware that given a hard winter, I'll probably end up boxing myself in without a blower. So...
1.) it's a gravel driveway - how will that impact how I use a rear mounted blower?
2.) What thoughts do you have on brands? From what I've seen, I'm looking at 2K for a rear blower for the 3 point hitch, but Northern Tools has one right now in the $1500 range. Does anyone have experience with their blowers?
3.) What's the lift capacity for a 3 point hitch on the BX? I can't find this in the owner's manual, and I'll need to know for the blower. For example, I saw a WoodMax SB60 for sale that weighs 549 pounds. So I guess the follow up question, is how big of a blower will be too big for the BX?
Thanks...
