Bxpanded snow plow purchase

[tiogajoe]

I had the pleasure of ordering a snow plow from Harry at Bxpanded. I have his Pirannah tooth bar and realy like it. I have to get back to him on the size blade I want as I'm not too sure which way to go? My tractor is a Kioti Ck2510 and is alittle under 51 inches wide at the rear tires. Harry states the 5ft blade will cover 53" at the max angle of 30 deg. I cant imagine that I would ever use it that far angled except to plow between something. He said I could push a six ft blade but I'm concerned a wider blade will dig up gravel on any uneven areas. I'm also concerned heavy snow and a wider blade will want to push the front end. I plan on plowing alot of my neighbors gravel drives. Some have alot of things to get around so maybe a wider plow isnt the best bet? Just wonder what you guys have experienced? BTW either plow will have skid shoes.

With the blade angled , you are plowing snow , with the blade straight you are pushing snow . On long runs you will have the blade angled all the way . The 5 ft blade will work until you make some gradual turns . The 6 foot would be better .

I have a 5 foot blade on a BX2360. so I can't help with your length problem, but I can help with the gravel. I took a section of inch and a half well pipe, cut a line in it with a cut off tool. Drilled some holes along the slit. I opened the slit till I could force my blade in it and used welding wire over the top of the blade to hold it on. Wife calls it my zig zag stitch. Surprisingly it does very well on gravel.
