You want a minimum of width of your tractor. 3 point or front blower? Just bought a rear 3 point myself. My 1880 is 4 feet wide. My blower is 51 inches wide. Think these are made a few inches wider that the tractor it would normally go on. If you’re going larger, have to consider the weight. Am using a quick attach so my blower stick out back pretty good. So consider maneuverability of the blower too.
You can find the manual on https://kubotabooks.com/homepage/
Page G-46 & G-47 has the limitations for your BX.
It doesn't have a rear blower listed but I'd stick with 350 lbs. max front or back. If you're using a rear quick hitch you will want to subtract that weight from the total. For example: 350 total - 50 QH = 300 blower weight. As Bear said above a 51" width or there about fits pretty nice for the BX.
Note: the weight for the rear mount mower and disk harrow is less because they stick out farther and put more leverage on the 3 pt. like a long crow bar prying up and down. That's my opinion anyways.

Also consider the pto hp spec of you snowblower. The SB1051(51" LandPride) notes tractor HP of a minimum of 18hp. The Traded down to the BX2380 this last Spring. The PTO is rated at ~18hp. Gross hp I think is ~23hp. Sure hope the 18 pto hp will be able to handle box deep medium moist snowfall.
