I'm in the market for a rear blade for snow removal. I would like to buy a rear blade that will work with my current BX24 and that will work well with a B3030 or L3540 if (when) I upgrade in the future. We get a few 8" to 12" storms a year and I would like to be able to use my BX24 now instead of attaching my 6.5' standard plow to my Toyota pick up to clear the paved portion of my 300', slightly hilly dirveway. For the gravel section, I have used a Toro snowblower (when the ground is well-frozen, believe it or not) with the skid shoes set just perfectly to avoid picking up stones.
I'm told now that the BX24 has a limited cat 1 hitch and cannot handle the Woods RB60 or RB72 due to lift height limitations. I'm being advised to buy the RBC60 (estate series). Problem is.......the RBC60 wil be a poor balast and will not be a good match when I upgrade to a larger tractor. Does anyone have any suggestions?
