Well I finally got my blower painted to match my tractor and got it all assembled. This year snow clearing will be much more enjoyable on my 2700'+ hilly/windy driveway. The last two years I have used a B7610. The new rig is a L5240 front 7' blade and a rear PULL erskine blower with hyd. rotation and deflector. I also have a hyd top link to get the blower angle just right. I am ALMOST looking forward to blowing the snow this year.

Very nice rig. I really like the pull rear mount snow blower. No strained neck from backing up. With my BX2350 and a rear blade, I was worried about the tires smashing the snow down and then the blade not scaping the snow off, but that turned out not to be a problem. I expect with the rear snow blower, you will also find it's not a problem.

Thanks, but..................I think we had around 12' of snow last year. in addition to that I live on a ridge and drifting is a big issue.

I've noticed the chute has some kind of liner in it. Is that some kind of anti-stick type set up.

yes its made of a slick plastic maybe 3/16" thick and riveted to the back of the chute. from my blower experience i bet this will help alot

Nice set up, what is the width of your blower?

the blower is 78" and the tractor is nearly 72" so the should match up nicely. i am wondering if i should have gotten the rear and side defoggers but time will tell.

Very nice paint job. I like the plastic insert. Sounds like a good idea for those with wet ,sticky snow.

Where did you get the paint? I just finished painting my truck plow to match my BX and I got the paint from TSC. Its called new kubota orange and it seems to be a tad brighter then my BX orange but close enough for winter use.

Thats a formidable looking set-up.......... but since its still mid-August, could we talk more about summer? :D
