TimU, If you have access to material and a lathe, why not roll your own? These are on my BX for comparison. If diameter is prohibitive, you could also burn out rounds and laminate together to whatever thickness (weight) you desire. That option would make install/removal job easier as you...

My BX spends it's 'winter' months in our heated garage. No need for a block heater.

Key Signs It's Too Early (Don't Mow Yet) #5) You still have 12" of snow on the yard!

I plowed my driveway and a couple of my more elderly neighbors into multiple events and didn't have any problems. Wifey informed me the other 2 neighbors had contacted her after I completed round 1 that my services would be appreciated. I'll probably end up with cookies, banana bread, etc...

More white stuff! Plowed another 5-7 that has fallen since this morning along with 4 of my elderly neighbors. It's still coming down but supposed to end sometime tonight. If my pile gets any taller, I'll need to upgrade tractors. The little BX just doesn't have enough weight to deal with...

Cleaned up the overnight 'dusting' we received! Sure glad I have a heated cab and the loader mounted plow so I can stack it high. Not as much as we got Feb 2021 but, they are calling for snow thru sometime late tonight/early Monday morning. Best guess we got ~7" dropped so far. Looks like...

It provides just enough down force to prevent the blade from floating up and blocking the drivers view on the high speed runs between driveways! :rolleyes:

I have my tender wired direct to battery. Cable end lives above radiator screen. If my hood is open, the charger is plugged in. That way I won't do something stupid like driving off with it plugged in! Also, I replaced my original battery this spring, almost made it 10years. Regards

OP, in addition to the above, be sure to check the plastic hydraulic cooling fan for missing/broken blades. I understand these are NO fun to replace! Good Luck

They're out there!

I run a Kubota loader mounted blade (BX2763) on my BX. I have to put the loader in 'float'. The blade doesn't float on its own. Regards

Your mower has to be fully raised in order to turn the 'Height Knob' to the Top position. In order to keep the back blade raised, you'd need to reposition/move the 3pt arm links. Or, chain the arms up. It would be easy to use those mounting points and chain the 3pt arms in the raised position...
