I have a BX23 that I use for plowing. We had a big snow year last year in Colorado and I've been looking at getting a rear mounted snow blower to clean up the areas that the plow doesn't do well. I've got 3 driveways I keep clear that are each about 500' long. For most of the length the plow works fine, but some of the areas get really narrow and its tough to move the snow where I can get it out of the way. I went out to the dealer today and after looking at the rear snow blowers, I'm worried that its to much weight off the 3 point hitch to have the front plow work well since the front will be so light. I can get the front mounted blower but I would have to switch out the front blower and plow depending on snow conditions.
Does anybody use the front Kubota plow and a rear snow blower? How does it work? Does the front end get to light for the plow to be effective with the rear blower on?
I went out a couple of times last year and the snow was so deep that it was coming over the top of the plow and a blower would have been much better.
Should I get the rear snow blower with the front plow?
Or
Use the front plow and switch over to the front snowblower when needed? My dealer said to forget a rear blower since the front end would be so light.
I already have the quick hitch so the price is about the same for the front or rear snow blower. The rear blower looks really heavy duty so it weighs about 500 lbs
