BX Snowpusher

[Lizlec]

I've finally received my snowpusher fox my BX1870. WOW what an improvement VS the FEL bucket. It's a 54" HLA 1500 with backdrag function.

Actually the backdrag is not usable since they had make a mistake in the bracket design and I can't tilt enough to let the backdrag blade touch the ground ... they are manufacturing a new one with revised bracket and will switch one for the other when ready.

Looks like they fabricated a whole additional bucket to mount inside the snow pusher. Here is a simpler solution. Do you know the weight of your pusher?

I want one!

Simpler but also looks way less sturdier. The open top combined with the small height of the backdrag blade would not work really well in our frequent over 6 inches of snow fall.

It also protrude longer in front of the pusher which I don't really like and the non adjustable height of the skidshoes id a no go for me at the start ;-)

Pusher weight without the back drag is 310 lbs.

That pusher looks great!!! How does your BX1870 handle pushing once it’s loaded up with snow? I have a 6’ Curtis snow plow that I fabricated to clamp around the bucket and have considered adding wings to box it in (basically making it a pusher), but am concerned I won’t be able to push after 50’-60’ of heavier snow..

That's when you shift to tunnel making, not snow pushing.

Better than I thought. I've pushed 10 inch of fluffy snow all the 100ft of my driveway. It was overflowing for the last 30ft or so but was still pushing.

Wet snow could have been more complicated but It would have been able to handle it by taking a couple feet wide at a time.

I just forgot to get a video ... should receive another 6 inch by tomorrow so I'll try to have a good video to show how it works well. Really a nice add over the factory bucket to handle snow rapidly.

That’s great to hear it has worked good for you. It’s a sweet looking pusher! Makes me want to get the wings fabricated onto my plow now. Enjoy the snow to plow! We are basically done in Western NY.. Definitely shoot a video if you can!

I had a buddy fabricate one for me also. Much better than a plow. I was surprised how much snow I could actually push with this...

Im really surprised you guys are liking those push boxes on a bx. Without split brakes id of thought the tractor would be next to impossible to steer.

Anybody have any experience with using one of these on a gravel drive way? Once I get my house built I figure it would be easier to use the tractor than my four wheeler to plow with.

Dhdb,

Not familiar with your loader but top link connection looks to be inline w/ the lower links at pusher connection? How do you obtain forward leverage?


NY Orange, they work fine on gravel, just NOT in float position

How did you attach the HLA to your tractor? I was told that they do not make a quick detach for my tractor. I have a BX 2360.
