Snow BX24, chains, turfs, rear blade, FEL, 32" snow

[donn12]

I am shocked at what this thing did with the rear chains on it. Almost 3 feet of snow and it was unstoppable. I angled the blade and kept it about 10 inches above the surface. I could plow in reverse for a pretty long stretch and then go back and lower then blade. This was MUCH more effective then using the loader because it automatically move it out of the way.. After I had some good snow banks I could move some with the rear blade when raised and some I pushed back with the loader taking three feet or so at a time. I posted a review in attachments but I bought a County line 5 ft blade for this storm and it did great. I was afraid it would break right away based on most opinions here but not every implement needs to be high dollar,heavy duty for occasional use. It was worth every bit of the $300. Also I did not get stuck once so my ATV plow and wife's truck were undisturbed unlike last time.

donn12,

Do you have spacers on your tractor??

Yes from Brotek. They make a big difference on hills.

Wow awsome job. I have a front mount snow plow and feel that it is faster on reasonable snow. I think you did this with the rear mount. Really cool, but if you get snow like this on a regular basis, I would be looking at a snow blower. You got away easy on this one-but you will run out of area to push the snow. That is alot of snow!

Donn12, do you think the chains would fit even without the spacers on the rear? I'm looking for chains for mine, but I don't have spacers.

 

[donn12]

Im pretty sure they would fit without the spacers.

I put a set of regular (not low-profile) v-bar chains on my unmodified BX2350. It's a hassle working them up under the fender but they do fit. You've got to be very conscientious about tightening them and securing any danglies on the inside otherwise they will certainly snag on something and ruin your day.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna call around to see if I can get some chains. My wife and I had to shovel our 250' long driveway. I don't wanna do that again when this next storm comes in.

I also have chains on my BX2350 with turf tires and no spacers. Not much issue with clearance but they should be kept nice and tight using bungee cords.

My fronts are also chained but there you need to be a little more particular about how well centered they are on the inside. There isn't much clearance around the front end parts. With that said, once they are installed and snugged I haven't ever had to readjust them.
