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

I have a Curtis cab. It's around $3400 installed with heat and wiper. There are other brands available too but I'll leave that to those who have experience with them. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

I don't have an L3800 but I do have an aftermarket cab on my Bx25. It's a Curtis cab with soft sided doors, heat, and front wiper. Costs about $3400 for the BX series and it works pretty good. It's not air tight but the is adequate for New England winters. As to whether I'd buy it again, I...

I don't see anything in your description that you couldn't handle with a BX series tractor. The front blower works well even in 20" snow storms and it will pull a box blade just fine. You would most likely want a cab which is after market but certainly available, including heat. The BX...

Made it through the whole blizzard of 2013 with no problems but today on light clean up I picked up a stick and sheared the fan pin. I'm new to this blower but was smart enough to buy a dozen spare pins at the suggestion of the salesman and the good folks here on TBN. Unfortunately the bolt...

Only about 20" for us but some pretty good drifts. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Last night I updated the forum app for iPad from the App Store and it doesn't work correctly. It won't read the buttons on the bottom of the screen unless you keep turning the iPad so that the top is now bottom etc. quite a nuisance to say the least. I tried setting the app to "lock in...

You know, I really haven't got a clue! LOL. I agree with you, a solid panel would be nice. They don't offer it though. I thought I might get a roll of foam weatherstripping tape and tape around the snaps to seal the gaps. Here's a couple more pictures. If you want more info or...

As it just so happens I just upgraded to a BX25 with the 1KBX25SS a couple of months ago. My old BX2200 had a Curtis cab as well. I realize that the cab you are asking about is the "hard sided" version but the rest of the cab should be pretty similar. I am impressed with the cab over all and...

I recently replaced my Bx2200 with a new BX 25 and added the front snow blower. Now my shed is overflowing. I have the blower in the garage in front of my car right now but the loader won't fit there. If I store the back hoe and loader in the shed the tractor will be hanging out by several...

The 3ph kit finally came for my new BX25 yesterday and I set out to install it but ran into a problem. The pin that holds the link plate on the mounting rod doesn't go through the hole when installed from below as it appears in the picture. I am talking about the dual thickness pin that...

No, there was no noticeable bending or flexing. The camera lens I was using was in wide angle and sometimes it can distort straight lines. It's probably one of the only times I'll transport it that way anyway since I have it tucked into the garage face in and all I will have to do is put the...

Well the local Kubota dealer showed up at my house this morning and took away my old trusted BX 2200 and left a shiny new BX 25 in it's place. Any thoughts of buyers remorse and nostalgia were quickly swept away by a couple hours of seat time in the new tractor. More power, much smoother...

I have a 2001 BX2200 with loader, Woods ground breaker backhoe, 60" mower and Curtis cab which I bought new. It's served me well with no breakdowns or issues for 300 hours or so. But this winter has been extra snowy and my job has become more demanding so clearing the driveway with the loader is...

I've seen several threads on the Bro-Tek bolt on thumb and a few on the Wallenstein but not much mention of the Extreme Metal Products offering. I have a Woods Groundbreaker BH6000 on my BX2200 and was wanting to add a thumb and wound up choosing the EMP product and I must say that I'm very...

Well, I'm sitting here waiting patiently for my new backhoe to arrive for my BX2200. My Wife (bless her heart) bought me a Woods BH6000 groundbreaker as a surprise birthday gift. What was really cute was watching her go around telling everyone that she "got me a ho" for my birthday! The...

Well, I finally got around to installing the block heater in my BX2200. I bought it last winter after having starting problems in the cold. I had read some of the installation problems here and wasn't looking forward to the job but it went like clock work and took me under 20 minutes. Took me...

While preparing for maintenance on my 60" mowing deck I needed to transport the deck from the paved driveway (where it is easier to remove the deck) to the rear of the house where the workshop and air tools are. I have a loader and some chain, so no problem, right? I figured go slow and watch...

I was having a strange vibration type noise that would come and go and seemed more prevelant after a half hour or so of mowing. It was significantly loud enough for me to stop the mower the first few times it happened and look for something broken or tangled. Finding nothing I finished mowing...

This afternoon our units responded to an 82 year old man who had been run over by a tractor. He was standing on the left side of a good sized Ford tractor (sorry, no model info available but the rear tire was about 5 feet tall) and leaned across the deck of the tractor to start it up. The...

Last week I posted about my BX not starting in the cold. I have run it twice since getting it going and both times it started quickly but ran like it was missing a cylinder for about 30 to 45 seconds before smoothing out. This thing was really shaking and clanking! Once it smooths out it...

BX2200 won\'t start in cold It dipped down below zero last night and the tractor is in a Cover-it shed in the back yard. I usually leave the door open cause it's a pain to roll up and down so it got the full brunt of the cold last night. Luckily I don't need the tractor but I thought I'd...

I know this upgrade has been covered here many times and I have found Charliebrn's great step by step on how to acomplish this but I have run into an issue with the pivot bolt. Charlebrn talked about a bushing in the casting that needed to be punched out to make the hole big enough for the new...

We got about 7" of heavy, wet snow on Sunday and the 60" rear blade on my BX2200 just wouldn't cut the mustard. It would manage about a strip and a quarter before it wouldn't push the snow back any further. I wound up clearing with the loader again which takes more time. I am pulling the...

I have had a few requests for pictures of my Curtis cab and heater on my BX 2200. Rather than post a bunch of pictures here and take up space I felt it would be easier to put them up on a web site. Here is the link: Curtis cab pictures I have a cable modem so I don't know how fast this page...

I have a Curtis Cab on my BX2200 that came with a heater. In order to keep the radiator fan from sucking all the heat out of the cab during the winter they provide you with a nice custom fit rubber mat to cover the screen. The mat has velcro sewed onto it which is fine but the hook side of the...

BX\'s in stock In case anyone is looking, when I was at my dealer today to get some mowing blades and a set of winter chains they had four or five BX22's in stock and some 2200's as well. This is MB Tractor in Plaistow, NH. The 2200's were the "new" model with a different graphic, seat...

I have been without my tractor since last Wednesday so I'm getting jittery! I expect it back tomorrow after it's 50 hour service and some warrantee work. The 50 hour service was around $250, plus $75 to pick up and deliver (since it won't go in the back of my Lexus ). Then I had to pay for...
