Anonymous Poster · Feb 2, 2003

Does Anyone have the front hydraulic Blade with a Bx2200?
This one be with the hydraulic angle on it.

Any and all insight Anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.

I have the BX2763 (blade with angling) blade on my BX22 and love it. You'll definitely want the skid shoes as well.
I use it to plow my small subdivision's road - about 1/4 mile of road plus a cul-de-sac and 8 driveways.
If you have very much to plow, the front blade is superior to the loader or rear blade.

I don't really have that much but have about made my mind up next year I am doing both driveways with something other than a walk behind snowblower.

I don't really have that much use for a loader so I have been thinking the blade would be the way to go .

I used a rear blade on my other tractor before I sold it and bought this one so ,I still have a stiff neck from using it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

How much ground clearance do you have when the blade is all the way up?

I've never measured it, but I'd guess the blade raises close to 12 inches. The real ground clearance limitation comes from the quick-attach front mount (BX2751) which provides the up/down capability. The mount is probably only 4" above the ground. I haven't had any clearance problems yet.

Ryan,
That gives me a good idea . I was wondering because of restrictions when loading on a trailer.

Who knows ? The kid may want to make a few bucks with one in the future. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
