BX2230 AND BLOWER

[Scrounger]

Looking for some advice on the BX2750 blower for the BX2230. I'd like to step up to a blower but not sure if its possible to put a front one on the tractor. I have a Woods FEL and BH on the tractor.

I think it should be possible, the blower doesn't use any part of the loader frame and as long as the hydraulic quick connects are the same I can't think of anything else to prevent it.

You will need a sub-frame and related drive shafts. The blower comes with a mechanical chute rotator but you can convert that to hydraulic for about $800 for a Kubota set up. Also with the sub-frame you can use a hydraulic angle blade. To switch front blade to blower is but a couple of minutes as they use a quick-connect "spade" assembly.

Yea will work as long as you have the $$$$. Better figure a cab with a heater too while you are at it. You can use a power window motor to turn the chute for about $35. Figure about 2 hours to convert from summer to winter mode. IF we have the same winter as we had last year you will have a lot of use. Better buy now I recall last winter those that waited until winter could not find them.

When I bought my snow blower off Craigs list, in the middle of the summer, the wife had her doubts. It sat in the garage for two years as the plow was adequate for the snow removal tasks. After last year, however, the snow blower proved its worth. I helped several neighbors that only had plows and had piled so much snow that they had no room left. The blower moves a lot of snow fast. If you don't have a cab invest in a ski jacket and ski pants makes the world of difference when the wind shifts and you get covered in snow :laughing:

I started with a cab made from a golf cart cover, worked well, if you search my name you can find a thread on how I did it, back in 2002-03 time frame.
