|  KUBOTA B2782 SNOWBLOWER
Can I please get opinions on the value of a used Kubota B2782 Snowblower. It is a 3 point rear PTO Model, manual chute, garage kept, 2 years old, no rust.
I am considering purchasing it from my friend for my B7610 and I want to offer him a fair price but not overpay. I am having trouble finding enough used items on the WWW to get a good baseline and I am not sure what this retails for new.
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Its a great blower, but are you sure you don't want to mount it on the front? | |

I understand I could modify this unit to front mount pretty easily and add the hydraulic chute option but I really like having the loader attached year round and my with a 63" chute I can clear my 150' driveway in 4 passes so going backwards won't kill me. I also live near NYC so we don't get killed with snow like some of you guys do.

Thats the same blower I have on my B3030. Its commercial duty.... very rugged. They are made for Kubota by R.A.D. in Canada. I'd certainly call it one of the better blowers on the market. | |

Ductape - how much did you pay for yours?

I couldn't tell you exactly how much mine was because it came in a package with a bunch of other attachments...... but looking at some paperwork it looks like list price in 2007 was $1,532 for the blower and $513 for the three point hitch mount + chute kit. $125 for manual chute rotation. Grand total in 07 $2170.00........ actually less than I was expecting from Kubota (if I'm reading correctly). | |

I have the shorter version of the same blower, works great, great build and I paid about $1600 cad, 2yrs ago. I have manual rotation and elevation, which is fine for now, lots of threads about customization, may get to some day. You can't go wrong with this blower.

I also have that blower also, and I like it a great deal. We had a 24" wet heavy snow the first year that I had it, which I thought was a pretty good test for it, and it handled it like a knife through butter. Like Ductape's, mine is a front mounted unit. We get any where from 15 to 30 feet a year, so for me a front blower is a necessity. | |
