I see on Kubout's site swing arc says 180 for the BH76.
Is it only 150?

You are right! I am sure the early specs said 150 degrees because I looked specificly for that, but I could be wrong. I sure have been before.

Rick, notice how we keep chatting while we patiently wait with you.

He's probably not in front of his computer. Probably been sitting outside for a couple hours waiting for the truck to show up, like a little kid.

I originally wanted a front mount plow on the b3200 I have comming but they said it would interfere with the fel, so I went with a power angle loader mount unit (curtis) I originally asked for a 72" blade but he talked me into a 60" blade, He said he was worried about too much sideways stress on the loader armes when the blade was angled and the tractor getting pushed sideways. Time will tell, I can allways put wings on the blade.

Rick, there is a TBN member here that has a B2910 (which is the same size as your new B3200 and my B3030) with a 6.5' Curtis FEL mounted snow blade. I asked him about it, and he convinced me that I can go with the 6.5' blade. I have my reasons for wanting the extra 6" of width, but based on that, and some of the other machines out there running 6' blades, I would think you would want a 6' blade.

The 5' blade when fully angled on your machine, will deposit the snow right into your wheel tracks, and I think ultimately, you'll have a harder time plowing with that 5' blade. I'd go with NO front blade and instead a rear blade before I'd put a 5' snow blade on a machine that size.

I know you probably won't see this before your new tractor arrives, but before you start scratching up that new snow blade, think long and hard about calling your dealer and telling him you want him to take back the 5' blade and order you the 6' blade. You can always use the loader to clear snow in the mean time.

As promised here is the new B3200, I did some snow plowing the second I got it, It seems to have plenty of balls, I think I need to add the weight box that I welded up. The 5' curtis plow is very well made, when angled it doesn't leave the snow in front of the tires but its close, I will probably add wings or something like that. I still need to remove the MMM, (Tractors look smaller with the MMM attached). So far I am pleased, When I get to use it more and get use to it I will update. Thanks

Very nice tractor and property. Enjoy.

That looks like a great setup, and a lot of fun. You have some nice land to use it on too.
Enjoy!

Congrats on the sweet B3200 Rick

Be careful and don't do any of the numerous stupid things I did when I got my new B7800 a few years ago. I should have read the manual before operating but I didn't
