I own a b2320 and came across 2 snowblowers

60 inch in new condition with a little rust for 1500$
50 inch meteor with more rust but can be painted for 960$

So I went back and forth for a week and decided to buy the 50 inch since I don't have a huge driveway.

Now that. I have purchased it I'm getting second thoughts... Should I have gone with the 60 inch? You think the 50 is to small?

You will be just fine! You can move a lot of snow quickly with these tractors.

I guess it would be depend on how big your driveway is,I have a 48 inch that I use on 100 foot two car wide driveway and it does it in about 4 to 5 passes with alittle work up by the road where it's wider and all done in less than an hour.

When you have heavy or deep snow you will be able to travel faster blowing snow with the 50" blower. You will probably be moving the same volume of snow with either blower. The power available is more of a limit than width of the blower.

You saved $500 there must be something else you would like to buy for $500 to ease the remorse.

Ya my biggest concern was that the 50 inch was a little small for this tractor since the tractor is 48 wide.
Yes there's always something to buy next thing would be a mower deck...

You'll be fine with the 50". You never really use the full width all the time anyway.Another thing is the wider the blower the more chance of scalping ,by this I mean if the driveway isn't perfectly flat the blower will dig in her and there. I've blown snow for many years with a 48" blower and its plenty big enough for me. BTW my tractor is around 44" wide.Another thing about having a narrow blower is that you can get into tighter spots easier.

I use a 50" blower on my bx2350d and wouldn't want it any larger. Haven't ran out of power yet, but I fit down the sidewalk now. I plow several hundred feet of drive and sidewalk. Clean up with loader.
