Hmmmmmmm how Much for the front unit? I have a PTO pump for my 3pt log splitter... All I would need is the hoses and the blower....

Chuck your question,
I had heard that the loader could be installed with the Kubota quick hitch still mounted to the tractor. Is this not true? I am debating this issue for my B2620, and also looking at garden tractors with blowers as another member suggested. Yes FEL can be mounted after snow blower is removed and quick hitch is left on. But----- you also have to remove mid pto shaft, just to be cautious that nothing will be bent or hit using the loader. The quick hitch that remains on tractor has a spline shaft that I would not want to take a chance on dinging.

You might be able to have the quick hitch on the B2620, but not on the B3030. If you look at the picture below you see the push bar with the black rectangular piece of flat steel with six holes in it. The quick attach unit for the snowblower mounts on that. That steel plate is, horizontally about 3 inches from the big crossover pipe on the loader, which means when the snowblower quick hitch is on the tractor, you could not lower the loader all the way down without the crossover pipe hitting the quick hitch. As you know, you often need the loader all of the way down.

Although both could be on the unit simultaneously, your loader wouldn't be very functional.

To me it looks like the 2620 loader and snowblower setup works just like the B3030.

Builder, Frontier is selling these for the Deere...... obviously could be adapted to a SS style coupler. JDeereKid provided these pics in JD section. Nice unit....... allegedly $9,000.00 price tag.

... Big $$$.

Good explanation. I have the factory model coming. Now I'm learning about the QA with the power pack. I'm having the dealer price it out. I'll chime in again when I get the numbers.

Hydraulic blowers are in the $4700 to $5500 range depending on model (std flow or hi flow) and the power pack is in the $3000 range available is 15 , 20 and 24 gpm.
If you have a 15 gpm or larger pto pump and suitable reservoir/cooler you shoud be able to make that work.
The hydraulic blower could be removed in a minute and put back on in two, or used on a skidsteer if you have one, provided the flow ranges are relatively close. Of course skidsteers also run pressures in the 3000 psi range, so the closer you can get to this the better it will perform. The pto shaft driven blowers will have more brute hp as you have all the engine available, but the hydraulic driven ones won't be breaking shear pins.
Otherwise it is the best of both worlds for a price simular to the front mount pto.

For $9000 I would think you could buy something pretty decent with a blower already attached. Holder C6000 Tractor 4X4 with plow and snow blower:eBay Motors (item 220491763794 end time Oct-14-09 18:34:37 PDT)

Yes you can, but its hard to compare something new against a machine with 3500 hours on it. The $1000 no resevere starting price indicates it. The owner wants it gone.

Also the hydraulic power pack could be used to run other atachments to, like a log splitter, brush cutter, post hole digger. And of course used hydraulic blowers can be had for less then new, and skilled members could build their own power pack too
