Snowblower B3030

[JSK]

will my kubota b3030 handle a 72" 3pt hitch snowblower???

Your Kubota has 23 PTO HP...somewhat low for a 72" blower. But, now that you know your PTO HP, you can review the snowblower manfacturer's recommendation.

BTW, Welcome to TBN!!!

There are Kubota Buying and Operating forums, so you can see what other B3030 owners are using...

Yes

I have a b2920 (21 pto Hp) with a 51" blower and I could fit up to a 63" front mount

Never have had ANY issue with lack of hp

If your tractor is HST Wich most 3030 are you should have no issue

I've been running a 74" rear snow blower on a B7800 (22 PTO HP), which is the same chassis and engine as your B3030, for the past 7 winters with absolutely no power or weight problems. The secret is the HST. My only problem (and it's minor) is that I have to be very careful using the FEL with that wide blower on behind, so I don't sideswipe things.

Thanks-- I was thinking about the 60" but my rear tires are 58"' I wanted the blower to be a little wider. Hope it works out well. Thanks JIM

Another ? - I have never ran the tractor over 2000 rpm. What do I need to run to get the right speed to the snowblower.

Thanks JIM

Others will have more direct experience with your set up, but in general, whatever moves the snow to your satisfaction. Your engine is more powerful and modern than mine. I run close to wot but my engine is underpowered for my 60 inch blower. I go slow with the hst.

I doubt you'll have any trouble with yours at 2000 rpm.

I run my B7800 at 2600 RPM, which maintains 540 RPM at the PTO. That's the point marked on the tachometer.

Likewise on my B3030 with a 64" snowblower - 2200-2600 depending on how heavy and deep the snow is.
