Default Ready for winter

Weather was great here today (70's) so I spent the day getting all my toys ready for winter. Cleaned decks, drained all the gas tanks and ran everything dry. Then I put the plow and chains on the BX. Ryan will be happy now.

Glad someone's ready, I haven't even started and I'm a few degrees north of you. I'd fill my hot tube too if I had one, not sure what that is???

Ok Ryan, here are the pics as promised. Hope I don't need to use it but if we get anything worth plowing I'm ready. I hate snow.

That's more like it

Something I've always wondered with blades with that lift setup off the bucket: does that bucket hanging out there ever get in your way or block your view? And also, is there a benefit to going that route rather than taking the bucket itself off and getting a blade attachment?

Looks to me like the bucket is what lifts the blade. Never seen that kind of set up before until Sam "should have moved to Florida" Mac posted it last year

Well here's the deal Bota get's over $1800.00 for a snow plow for a BX. I built this from an old Myer plow that was on a Ford F-150 for under $500.00. The loader is used for the lift and the bucket function circuit is used for the power angle. It takes about 5 minutes to mount it to the tractor, 1 pin, 2 quick connect hoses and the lift chain. Vision is not a problem at all, I can see the corners of the plow with no problem. This is the 3rd plow of this design that I have done. I sold the others. 1st one was to an owner of a BX in CT, second one went with the BX2200 that I had before the BX2660. If you have a tractor with a loader this is an easy way to go. This pic is pushing snow up into a pile when I lived in CT, we got 112" of snow that year, this was just an early storm. This setup allows you to raise the blade much higher that anything offered by the factory. Back to Cub Cadet stuff now. It's cocktail hour, gotta go.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
