BX2750 Front Mount Snowblower - Can a BX1500 handle it?

[Oldironken]

Thank you for all the input, after talking to some more people I decided to pass on the BX 1500 and look for something with more HP. I visited a dealer today and got a good price on identical 1870 and 2370 models, I think my wife talked me into the 2370 so hp should not be an issue. I hope to get it ordered thius week.

The proper response to your wife is: YES DEAR, you are absolutely right!

Thanks again to everyone for you support in my other thread about buying a used BX1500. i pretty comfortable with what to look for and hopefully i'll be able to get a look at it this weekend.

One thing driving this purchase it being able to run a 50" front mount snowblower with it, i found a complete used BX2750 setup that i would pursue pretty quickly.

Has anyone had experience with this setup?
How did the BX1500 do?
Can it handle 12" or more of snow?

I know that more HP is always better than less, i'm not expecting a speed demon.

I just don't want to make a mistake and but too small a tractor, since a snowblower is an important reason for getting it in the first place.

Thanks again,

Ken

Yes, it will handle a foot of heavy snow at about 1mph. ... And it uses a gallon an hour doing it.
