I am wanting to hear from BX owners on their experiences plowing snow,especially with the FEL bucket.My situation is that I have a BX2360 that I now only use for mowing and an L3240 with FEL and BH.I am thinking of selling the 3240 because I bought it to do work on my property and now the work is done.The only reason I have to keep it is to plow snow which I may do, but it is a lot of money sitting there just to plow my driveway.I have had a BX25 with a front blade and I found it to make quite a mess of my gravel driveway.I also used a walk behind snowblower for a few years and found that too made quite a mess.With the FEL bucket on the 3240 I am able to clear the snow and hardly make any mess which is why I prefer using the FEL bucket even though it is slower.I have about 300 feet of driveway so the little extra time of using the FEL is not a concern.Plowing with the 3240 is almost effortless because of the weight which is just under four tonnes with the loaded tires and me sitting on it.I know the BX will be lighter and slower but I am wondering if it is capable of plowing or will I just be frustrated with it?In order to gear it up I will need a loader valve,FEL,tire chains,and extra lighting which I figure will cost me around 4500 dollars.This is money that has to come from the sale of the 3240 if I sell it.I can use my aerator for rear ballast which I can adjust from about 270 pounds up to about 700 pounds so that is not a concern.This is the my main consideration of whether to sell my 3240,will the BX 2360 be capable of plowing snow with the FEL bucket.I have read conflicting opinions on this so I am curious to hear from actual BX owners on their experiences,I know there are lots of them on here.
