Got to use my GR2120 snowblower allot last winter. Main complaint would be lack of lighting. I just added a led light to the blower itself. I got 2 lights, but found a very simple mounting method for 1 light utilizing the gearbox brace. Just took the oem bolt out, and added the light bracket. Wiring was very simple too. Drilled one hole to tie wrap the harness to the blower, routed thru the grill, tie wrapped to the existing harness, and did a simple spice to the oem light harness with 1/4" spade connectors so I can remove it in the spring. This light only draws 1.2 amps, so pulling off the oem wiring will not be an issue. This will be a big improvement, but I may want a wider angle light if I am not happy. This may also work for a BX snowblower. Philip.

Awesome! Good idea for those that need the extra lighting.

Hello! Nice light setup on the snowblower. I have a quick question as I am looking to purchase this exact setup. Could you possibly take a tape measure and measure the length of the tractor/snowblower? I have an existing Simplicity Landlord with a snowblower and I have a certain amount of length in my garage nook that I store it in. I'm wondering if the GR2120/GR2707 snowblower setup will fit. If it is possible to measure the total length of the combo I would be very grateful!

My Dad had a Simplicity Landlord 7010 from the mid 70's. I used it till the early 90's, traded it in on a Deere, should have kept the Simplicity. The maximum overall length, from the end of hitch, to front edge of snowblower side plates, is 107" Philip.

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was looking for!

My early 90's Landlord has the single-stage blower up front and measures about 97 inches in length. The new Kubota will just barely fit so long as I keep my car nice and tight to the front of the snowblower bucket (I stack park the car and tractor and shuffle accordingly if I know I will need to snowblow or not).

Thank you so much for the assistance and the little story about the 7010.

All the best,
Richard
