Snowblower & FEL

[RockfromVT]

I just bought a BX-25 and ordered a Front Mount Snowblower. The Dealer said the mount for the blower has a shaft that connects to the center of the tractor and when you connect the blower you only have to connect a small shaft. The question is that he was not sure if the entire mounting bracket had to be removed if you wanted to mount the FEL back on for a quick job. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks, Rock....New 1st. Time Kubota Owner

If you leave the front quick hitch on and have the FEL mounted, be careful if you try to take the bucket to flat. The FEL will contact the quick hitch.

Mine was delivered this way last year, as snow was about to fall. If you keep the bucket curled slightly when you lower it, you will be fine.

You also need to watch the quick hitch for leakdown, as your hydraulic lines will not be connected (in use by the FEL).

I would ask the dealer, they are the ones that did the install I assume.
