options for BX2200 front blade

[bp fick]

So at $1,500 a good buy?

I'd shoot for $1400. All they can say is no. Hard to do with a cash buyer standing there. The cheapest I have EVER seen this setup go for on Craigs is $1300. Closer one gets to snow, they are impossible to find, at any price. The factory produces so very few of these setups. There isn't a huge inventory of them around. Very sought after. YMMV.

Here's mine, last year. In late winter, I put it on Craigs at $1800 and the phone rang off the hook. Gone in a week. I know, I know that is retail, but, when the dealers don't have them in stock and the snow is still coming down.....

It's not like they wear out. Basically, all iron and steel. A used one is as good as a new one. imo. $1400 is about 25%-30% off list and that's about as good as it gets.

So if I understand you, the 54" blade is light duty non-power angling and the 60" blade is heavy duty and power angling?

Well actually the 54 inch is for the BX 1500 1830 & BX1850 models and the 60 inch is for the BX22xx 23xx 24xx 25xx and 26xx models as well as for the BX1860 model .

Here is my 60 inch blade attached to my BX1500 and another shot of it in action plowing snow.

You got a good price out of your 60 incher.
I would call 1400 to 1600 a good deal on the 60 incher.

Thanks LB. You didn't list the 60 for the BX1860. You might want to check "build my Kubota" @ Kubota.com and then adjust your list above a bit.

All I see is a picture of you trying to cut your hedges on your tractor while hanging from a crane....

Here's another option for you if you're anywhere close to NC. Tripped across this link on another site. Don't know what they charge, but it might be worth getting a quote from them for a frame mounted blade for your BX.

Front Blade

I think that's for a FEL set-up...

"We can build your front blade with most any type quick attach or pin on connection for no additional charge. ". You may be right, but I took this statement at face value thinking if you gave them dimensions of your front frame, they could fab something up for you.
