Turfs are fine for snow removal! No chains, just turfs and I haven't ever been stuck in 12 years. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

I have the BX2750D on my BX 25. You are correct in your list of all the things you need, at least for that model. I have no experience with the 51" so I can't comment on whether it's more heavy duty than the 50". I know the 50" throws a lot of snow and I wouldn't exactly call it flimsy...

I use a front blower / 5' back blade combo for snow removal and it works well. My back blade is a Woods " estate series" which is designed for this sized tractor. I don't have much in the way of pictures of the back blade but here is the tractor handling a foot and a half of snow. Sent...

I have the 2750 and it sure does throw snow. Price sound about what I paid, too. Never heard of the 5450 though so I can't help you there. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

I've had a ton of luck with my BX2750 front blower.... all of it bad! LOL. I sheared an auger bolt this afternoon doing some light clean up when I hit a chunk of wood in the snow bank. No big deal,right? Plenty of spare pins, nice warm sunny day, nothing but time on my hands. Two hours later...

I'm thinking about adding a voltmeter and ammeter to my BX 25 since all there is now is the idiot light. I have a cab with two halogen work lights in the front, a windshield wiper, a 2 speed heater fan, an led rear light, an amber led lightbar on the roof, and an electric chute rotation motor...

Success! I was able to drive the object out with a large crow bar and a 20 oz framing hammer. Took a dozen or so blows but all is free and the blower is ready to be reinstalled. I say object because I'm still wondering what it is and where it came from. It appears to be cast iron but it's...

Well Dean you are pretty much right on the money, except it's not a piece of the shear bolt. In fact, I'm not too sure what it is, maybe a piece of rock? It's almost the same color as the housing so it's real hard to see. Looks like it's about an eighth inch thick and man is it wedged in...

I've just spent the last couple of hours removing the blower and installing the loader on my BX 25 in the middle of a foot and a half of snow in the dark at 5 degrees. I was using the blower on the light powdery snow when the fan stopped turning. The augers are fine. The shear bolt is...

Okay, I have successfully changed the bolt and am operational again. Thanks to all that replied, every answer was helpful even if to just verify that I was already trying the right things. In the end, the bolt was rounded over on the front side so the advice about rotating it 180 degrees was...

I broke another auger shear bolt on the right side of my 2750d blower last night. Still not sure why it broke but that's beside the point. I can't get the old bolt out. I finally gave up at midnight after kneeling in the snow for about an hour. I'm pretty sure I found the right spot because...

I needed to remove my mmm today and I decided to turn the wheels sideways this year because I just don't have the strength or energy to wrestle the deck out from underneath the tractor with brute force anymore. I moved the tractor onto the paved driveway, raised the deck all the way up and then...

I had a Bx2200 for about 11 years and last year I replaced it with a BX 25. Both have Curtis cabs. I like the newer cab better as there have been some improvements but both have served the purpose. I don't have experience with other brand cabs but I do have experience with no cab. Cab...

Welcome to the forums. I have a BX25 which is essentially a BX2370 with a back hoe. It has plenty of power for snow blowing as you can see by the pictures. This is about a 20" snowfall. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet
