Snow BX2350 with FEL mounted SNOW PLOW.. Just and Idea?

[Musclford]

Here's the deal...


Currently using a 4x4 Yammy Wolverine with a 42" blade to plow my circle blacktop drive.. One side has a major hill.
I only have a vertical lift, manual tilt on the blade so I can clean the 8000 ft drive in about 5 - 10 mins.

Neighbor has a bx2200, with the plow, no FEL and he cleans his ski slope drive with it. I naturally, in 2nd gear, can smoke him in cleaning the drive. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Part of the deal to purchasing my new 2350 is selling the practically new ATV, and the Simplicity Broadmoor, and getting a one machine fix., with the added benefit of the 3pt, and FEL.

I don't want to spend the extra cash on the plow, so anyone ever seen a setup where somone has hung/mounted a blade on the FEL bucket and give it maybe a way to tilt right/left?

In my opinion, that would be the cat's meow. Then I could have it hinge up so I could technically load / move snow with the bucket if it gets too much. Happens maybe a 2-3 times every 5 years when I have so much piled up that I need to literally move the stack.

Maybe I'll come up with a new gadget. + I'd have the extra weight of the FEL to help with frt wheel traction.

Sorry for the longwinded post..

THANKS!!!
Just when you think you've got an original idea...

I think that would be a very formidable alternative to buying that actual bota plow..


Now, if I wouldn't of just given away a 72" last year /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Thank you.

You can plow with the bucket in the float/ detent position. Get a rear blade to plow and use the FEL for heavy lifting. Rear blades are cheap, comparatively.

Another successful winter, this past, with my Snowsport plow mounted into my bucket. Since this plow rides up and down a framework as necessary for obstacles, you do not use the float position on the FEL. Just lower the bucket to around one foot off the ground and the plow does the rest.
I do have to get off and pull the pin for angle plowing of the road or straight plowing of the driveway.

How did you mount it? Any pics to post?

I welded two angle brackets onto the bucket of my Cub to bolt a plow frame to. A friend did basically the same thing to his BX using a plow and frame made for an ATV.
