2000 series buying

On my 2320, if I buy a 47 blower for it with the quick-hitch, will I be able to disconnect the blower and re-install the loader withou removing the quick-hitch for the blower?

I think not. I think the front quick hitch interferres with the quick park features on the loader.

I'm going to take a better look at this in the spring when I take the blower off, but off the top of my head, I tend to agree with Chuck.

You guys weren't kidding about the snowblower. That thing rocks. Thanks again everyone!

No problem - you now have the right tools for the job and you'll be thankful everytime you need to put them to use.

Enjoy!

You need to drop the quick hitch or you'll bend the heck out of your quick-park bar on the 200CX loader. Haven't done it myself but have read here that it is a pricey fix (over $250).

Comes off with a couple of keeper clips - should be quick enough.

Nice unit diz.
I checked with another dealer and got a price of $3850 then went back to my local dealer with that price and they rechecked the quote and came back with $4060. This second quote included the remote spout control kit and the front hitch/mid-mount mower combo bracket. I thought it was pretty good since the spout control kit and combo bracket were not included with the quote from the other dealer. It should be here in a couple weeks since they have to order everything. Then I get to have fun installing it, I don't have a way to get the tractor into the dealer without driving it there (10 miles). I should be able to install it myself.

Hello all, I ordered the blower and was able to install it myself over the next couple evenings. The blower works great and I also ordered the combo mounting kit so I don't have to remove or install with bolts to switch from teh blower to the mower and the change of the seasons. The chute rattles around and shakes while I am blowing snow but anything would with that much pressure on it from the snow. The blower make some major noise when raising teh blower too far while backing up to make another pass. I have read the other threads about the noise. I think it is just too much of an angle for the PTO with the blower raised too far, I just don't raise it that far.

Works great and of course I am away from home until Friday and today we got about 6 inches of fresh snow. It will be there waiting for me when I get home on Friday.

Thanks to everyone that has posted things about 47 snowblowers. This unit works great on my 2320 and the only thing wider than the blower on my unit is the 655 tiller, I leave it on all year long.
