I'm looking at my first tractor and have it narrowed down to the John Deere 2032R and the Kubota B3350. After test-driving both and doing some soul-searching, I'm leaning toward the JD.
However, one of my primary uses for this will be to clear our driveway in the winter and the biggest snowblower that Deere sells for the 2032R is 54". The Kubota gets a 63" snowblower. Also, the Kubota snowblower is a beast. Nice, heavy steel. It looks well-built. It's the one I'd rather have.
I doubt that John Deere or Kubota are making their own snowblowers. Does anybody know who makes them? I want to see if there are larger snowblowers available that would fit on the same front quick-attach frame for the Deere. Maybe the company that makes JD's makes a bigger version that JD doesn't carry. Heck, it's possible that the same company makes both of them and that the Kubota blower would fit the JD mount (they look very similar). Does anybody know?
If not, is there a company that makes an aftermarket front-mount snowblower that fits the John Deere in a ~5' width?
