Anybody have the BX2763 'heavy duty' front blade for the bx2200?
See it here:
http://www.kubota.com/bx1800impl.cfm

It says hydraulic lift and hydraulic angle standard, but then says "Manual blade angle adjustment, 0 ~ 30 degrees left and right".

So my question is, which angle do the hydraulics handle? Is manual left/right OK for plowing snow?

Thanks

I have the BX2763 blade. The lift is supplied with the quick hitch, and the angle is supplied with a cylinder on the blade. The setup requires a 4-way valve (the BX comes with a 3-way standard), so if you haven't ordered your tractor yet, exchange the 3 way for a 4 way (about a $75 increase for excahnge, very expensive to buy right out).
Be sure the dealer gives you the additional quick attach hoses. These enable you to go from loader to blade qucikly.

I got the hydraulic angle because I didn't want to get off while snow plowing. If getting off doesn't bother you the
manual blade is cheaper.
