Lost front wheel drive on my BX2200. Found this out by getting hung up in the snow.
That's a big problem this time of year with snow and turf tires.
Turns out the front U Joint had come off. The roll pin that holds it on the drive shaft was never hammered through, it was just stuck in the side of the U-Joint. I have no idea how long it had been running that way.
So last night in the snow I got the U-joint back on and ran a wire through the hole until I can get a new roll pin.
For people like me that wondered how turf tires would do for snow removal.
I find that with the 4x4 working they do a pretty good job getting around.
I use a 5ft blade and sometimes use the bucket. But I really have no issues with getting hung up otherwise.
So far their weak point seems to be mud not snow. I may find slush to be an issue, but I won't know till it warms up some.
