First time in many years I looked forward to the first real snowstorm up here in Vermont. First year with my BX25D too!
So I thought long and hard about a front snow blower, glad I didn't do it now. FEL and a 6' Countyline backblade made quick work of my driveway. Took a 2 hour job with a snowblower and shovel and knocked it out in 40 minutes and that included getting the feel of working in the snow and letting the tractor warm up.
Five foot blade might have been better (if they had one on the floor last week when I went in) because when the 6 footer loaded up with this wet heavy junk it wanted to turn the little critter a bit, but it didn't take long to figure out how to work around that.
Now it was only an 8" storm but I think I got the feel of it and the $299 rear blade was a whole hell of a lot cheaper than putting a snowblower on was going to be.
So now I have done and in a weird way enjoyed it, so I can go back to hating on winter again! (But not quite as much as last year!)
