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.
Video here:
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.
