Kubota BX front mount snowblower vibration noise?

blkfl1 · Dec 1, 2013

I just got a BX2750 front mount blower for my BX2370
I seems to make a lot of noise at lease with out a load.
I have not had a chance to run it with a good amount of snow yet but it shire sounds like a rattle trap when I engage it .
Is this normal?

I don't believe so blk. I have the same blower on my 2660. I have no vibration noise at all. You might want to get some help have some start and run the blower while you look to see where the vibration is coming from. Either that or let you dealer deal with it.

There are a lot of YouTube videos. Maybe you can compare the noise from yours to some on the videos to get a sense if yours is worse. I typed in "BX2750D" as my search string in Google then selected videos. Might be worth a try.

Mine has always been noisy. I keep it greased and keep the chain well lubed. Also make sure that the gearbox is full. Don't fully raise the blower while it's engaged (per the manual I think) as the angle increases the noise.

And yes, much quieter when blowing snow.

Is the gear box full of oil? Is everything greased up? Are all the bolts on the blower tight?

Make sure that the U-joints are in phase.

I just bought the same blower. It is surprisingly loud. Seems its just how they are.

Most of the blowers are loud when not under load. Make sure you get a supply of shear bolts!!!

Yes all is greased and the gearbox is full.
I checked all that even tho it's new just delivered from the dealer.
