BX snow removal or 1000lb ATV?

The plastic windows arent too bad. The only issue is fogging up. I wouldnt want to use the cab during the summer time as it would scratch up easy. Stays nice and warm though!

which one would be better? I already have the atv with blade so the question is should I buy a rear blade for my BX24? Does anyone make a front blade for this without the $1800 kwikhitch setup from Kubota? We do not get a whole lot of snow here (Northern Virginia). $ wise the only thing that makes sense is probably the rear blade or stick with the ATV. It does great but a new tractor toy is always good. I also posted in attachments...a combo rear landscape rake and rear blade unit would be awesome but I have not seen one.
any feedback?

Which one has heat?

Thanks for the feedback..That's what I needed to know...By the way, Kubota should use the type of plow you have. Looks like it may be more like an ATV type plow than the truck type one I have (it's too heavy)..How does that do on gravel? This monstrosity of a blade that I have wants to tear driveways apart unless they are frozen solid...My ATV never did that.

It would do fine on a driveway, nice big shoes on the bottom. My drive is tar but I do plow my walkway and its pea stone. Doesnt seem to be a problem if i keep the blade up just a whisker.

The UTV puts out enough heat to keep the cabil warm enough so a heavy sweatshirt is all I need plowing. I may try one of those dash defrosters that plug into the cig lighter port.

I have a BX23 with the kubota 4 way plow and a Polaris Quad with a plow lifted by a winch and I believe that they work very well together. I have about 750 feet of gravel drive and use the quad when the snow is light and the BX when the snow is deep or heavy. I also use the BX to move the banks back and have had more than a few snowfalls that the quad just seemed to be working too hard due to the weight of the snow. I tried to buy a snowblower for the Kubota this year but was told that it may come next summer and told the salesman to forget it.

I was able to pick up a deere 49 tall chute snowblower for my 318 so my snow removal team is now complete let it snow let it snow.
