Did someone say WoodMaxx ?? LOL. I don't think they make front mount blowers. Only PTO mount.(but I could be wrong) I think the 48" shown is on a BX tractor- $2200.
need some advice from my expert Kubby friends with snow pusher

L3901, LA525-FEL, BMLX-3164 3pt Blower, 72" Coteck Sno Pusher, 60" Box Blade
What I usually do is pull everything out with the Snow Pusher into a big old pile. Then blow it away. Prevents from having massive snow banks by Springtime. lol !!
First off rear ballast will make your lose of steering even worse with that push box in float. Take the rear ballast box off and it will make it a bit better.
2nd off, a 60” push box imo is too big for a bx.
The lose of steering is one of the trade offs with a push box. This is why id NEVER buy one for any unit without split brakes regardless of tractor size.

Here is a quick video of the snowblower that goes with the 80 series BX on my 1880 in case you want a reference. Its a 50" wide model(BX2816) for the 1880, 2380, 2680 and 23S.

One additional thought: if subsequent snowfalls after the ground has frozen are still giving you steering problems in and out of float, you could also use 4 wd with chains on the front wheels. I use that technique on a B2650 with a front snowblower. I can't use float until ground and base has frozen because skids dig into lawn and gravel.
