Gosh their purdy all new...
I am sure your in Heaven! Congrats....
Tell me, in looking at the Snow Blower it almost looks
like the chain is actually bending the bucket at the top,
am I correct? When lifted off the ground if you pull hard
on the blower does it make the top of the bucket flex?
Additionally I would love to see some
more detailed pictures of the blower if possible.
TIA!

No, there was no noticeable bending or flexing. The camera lens I was using was in wide angle and sometimes it can distort straight lines. It's probably one of the only times I'll transport it that way anyway since I have it tucked into the garage face in and all I will have to do is put the quick hitch on and then drive into it to install it. When winter is over I'll just reverse the process.
This is the only picture I took of the snow blower itself.

Very nice. I'd be interested to get a comparison from you on the Woods Groundbreaker bh from your last tractor vs the Kubota model on the new one. I lost my bh in my last trade, but had a BH-70x on my last tractor and thought is was a beast!

I haven't actually dug with it yet but I did extend it all out and check the range and controls. My first impression is that the Kubota hydraulics were much smoother and easier to control. That could be a function of the tractor too I suppose. Definitely more ground clearance on the BX25 hoe though. The old tractor dragged on the pavement while going onto the trailer but the new one had plenty of clearance. The groundbreaker certainly did the job and was a nice option since I didn't buy the old tractor with a back hoe originally. (Actually my Wife had it installed for me as a birthday / anniversary gift)

When using the hoe, stretch out there just touching the ground and then
pull back BOTH levers, straight back all the way at the same time
and tell me what you see.
