Snow just bought a Kubota BX22 with FEL and BT600 series BH....sweet

I want to say hi to everyone on this forum, excited to finally join 'club' Kubota after 30 years of wanting one :laughing: I'm looking a snow set-up for a 12'x 270' driveway with a couple of doglegs running off it. I've got a line on a 2765A hydraulic snow plow but haven't got a clue if it will work on my machine ? It was on a B3350 I think.

The tractor has new liquid filled ag tires I've read these maybe not be the best for snow ? Not even sure if a plow rig will handle big storms ?

It sounds to me like that plow might be too big for your new tractor. You will probably have to look at a smaller plow, or chopping the big one down to size. There's some good videos of BX's plowing snow on youtube. You also might want to consider a snowblower instead. I would also consider getting some chains for the rear tires if you plan on doing snow removal in your area. Chains are like money in the bank or a good insurance policy in my opinion.

I spent the day going over my tractor armed with a can of Kroil, lithium grease and a Thor hammer. I worked carefully lubing the seat mechanism, as it was a bit arthritic. Now it's slides like new but the seat adjusting lever refuses to lock ? The previous owner just installed a new seat not sure if it's OEM. My cousin who was a dairy farmer and tractor salesman came over to admire the beast and even he couldn't figure it out...lol I'll dissemble it tomorrow.

I tried yanking the boom lock pin it obviously hadn't been used lately, managed to finally knock it out, dry as a bone, slides like new now. I now realize that I have to remove the backhoe unit and the FEL to get in and do a proper inspection and lube. I think I'm gonna need a service manual to work safe and smart.....Snow is still 2 1/2 months away I hope :laughing:
