BXpanded snow plow?

Ok, action shot now available.

Because you are all detail oriented people.

BXpanded 72" blade. 15 degree angle.

10" of HEAVY wet snow. Gravel drive.

tractor is a BX22, with rear chains (2-link), loaded with water/methanol, 5' rear blade for additional counter weight.

bx22 plowing snow


What I've discovered:

I can't plow this much snow on an uphill slope. Not enough traction. Even on paved surfaces.

If the pile gets too big the front end is pushed to the side. This is minimized by puting the blade to the 30 degree angle setting.

When setting the blade to a zero degree angle you can push A LOT of snow.

The summer project will be to add hydraulic controlled angle function. There were far too many times when I wanted a different angle, but used the blade as-is and it probably took 5 times as long to do that segment as it would have to hop off and change the angle.

net-net I'm still happy with the purchase.

I push it across the street all the time. I do not leave the snow in the street though.

I actually wish that BXpanded had just modified thier bucket expander. Just make the side flair out like a snow pusher. That way it cuts a wider path. Thats all the BX really needs. The bucket needs to be wider for more effective snow removal. I get tired of making the same pass over and over because it falls out the side.

That would depend on the street too. My street is considered a private road. No speed limit and I can plow across it all I want. Heck, I HAVE to. Nowhere else to go with the snow from my drive.

Nothin' but woods, bushy tailed rats, & deer on the other side of the street from me. :thumbsup: I'm also looking at the BXplow but since I just got the B2781 SB on the 3Phd this year, it's kinda hard to justify since I already have the FEL. Maybe next winter if I can show SWMBO the wear & tear on the FELs' edge.
T-Man. :cool:
