The owner actually runs both tools across the same area, noting the float-switch trick for the bucket, tilt angle trade-offs, overfill risks, and how the plow (a repurposed truck plow via a DIY quick-attach receiver) handles depth control. Best for BX23S owners deciding whether the bucket alone is enough or a plow is worth adding.

Push the bucket control lever all the way down until it clicks, which activates the float switch so you only need to control the tilt.
Yes, if all you have is the front bucket you can still do straight pushes effectively, though a plow lets you move more snow per pass.
The plow scalped the ground slightly in a spot with more dirt than grass, but the shoes keep the blade up and prevent much damage.
A front quick attach plate with a front receiver was added to the tractor so the truck plow, which uses a receiver style quick attach, could be used on it.
