Quality differences between BX 2750 & BX 5450?

[Tollster]

Curious if anyone may be familiar with the two above and noted a change in the quality between the two. The 2750 is being phased out, replaced by the 5450. Curious if it's thinner sheeting, more plastics, auger quality and so on? I was quoted 3300 installed, which includes quick hitch (BX2751), and mid mount PTO (BX 2753).

What product are you talking about? A tractor, implement, or attachment?

There is no tractor named BX2750 or BX5450.

If it's an implement or attachment, what job do they do? Several have augers.

I believe he is referring to front mount snowblower

I searched off and on over the past 7 years for a used BX2750 snowblower, but to no avail, mostly Craigslist, within a 100 mile radius. I have always gotten by with my aging Wheelhorse, which only takes up space. Well, this year we redid the paved drive, 40 yards of concrete and 43 tons of asphalt. So I have to pony up, and purchased the BX5450 snowblower, BX2751 quickhitch, and BX 2753 midmount PTO kit. Went with the composite cutting edge and shoes, assembled, out he door was 3500.
Hoping the sale of the Wheelhorse will help offset.

The 5450 is mostly a styling update. The 2750 had been in the product line for years. It was not cheapened or anything.

I believe the 5450 got a 4 blade auger vs the 3 blade on the 2750.

Good to hear, looking forward to seeing what it does, plan on picking up shear pins when I get the unit.
