I just bought a BX2230 with a snowblower and rotary broom. This is turning out to be great for cleaning my very long driveway. I can first use the blower, then switch to the broom to get down to clean dry pavement without salting. But...does anyone have a trick for quickly aligning the square male-female pto shaft connection. It seems to take me awhile and alot of "magic words" to get the parts to align.<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
P.S.--Please send all bad jokes to the new "useless ruminations" board !!

I expect delivery of a new BX2230 in late December. I would like to add extra lights to facilitate after dark snow blowing. I can't seem to find any info on what wattage I can safely add without an alternator upgrade. Does anyone have any advice?

Art,
Thanks for the info and your trying about the snowblower. My dealer updated me and expect he can deliver the tractor and all implements about 12/15/03.

Thanks again.

I was at a dealer in New Jersey today to price a BX2230 with the 50 inch 2-stage snowblower. He told me $11,460 and he "might be able to get it in by the end of November".<br>
Does anyone know if the price reasonable and is the availabilty realistic?

The driveway is about 12 ft. wide with 4 switchback about 125 ft. apart. The snow will drift in at the switchbacks to about 18" for a 8-10" snowfall. This would cause the 13 hp Honda 5013 to struggle at its slowest ground speed. In the past I solved the traction problem with alot of rear weight and chains on the rear drive wheels. That's why I want to upgrade to more power and 4WD like a Kubota BX2200 or Deere X575. But... I was hoping to come up with something more tricky and cheaper.
Thanks for the help.
