BX2750 snowblower

[escavader]

Back in 2005 a guy named Junkman also made the same type of hydraulic turning device for his BX2750.. I remember reading about it after reading this thread. Here is a link to this old post.

HI DUSTY,
I remember that guy.Ithink he was the one with the bx-22 with all the bells and whistles you could want for it.Ihad just started running a computer,and was a real green horn ,he chewed me out for using all capitol letters
Havent seen you on for a while ,DUSTY,nice to see ya again.Then again mabey youve been here,there are alot of people on here now to keep track of

Another winter approaching (or already here)... This is my first year with the 2750, and I have sheared 3 pins in less than 20minutes of use... looking over it I do not think gravel was a factor, would pushing/blowing wet snow too fast be a likely cause? (That I could see being an issue) but before I replace two more bolts, and then shear them too, I wanted to see if anyone has seen something else worth checking over that isn't obvious. Shaft is well lubed, gearbox seemed fine, the blower looked to be very low use before I bought it this summer.

Thanks in advance to the many TBN folks!

I pushed 12 inches of heavy wet snow and slush in high range with the pedal to the floor and not one problem at all. So I doubt its the snow. I would say either something is binding or its the gravel.

Hi Bassicfun,
The shear pins can break easily in use if they are over tightened when you install them. The torque spec is rather low on them, I dont recall it off the top of my head, but that would be something thats easy to check.

When they are over tightened, the bolt is in tension which makes it easier to snap it in shear.

I have been knocking down some packed/icy snowbanks that my neighbor plowed. I only sheared a bolt when i hit some big gravel. Sounds like something is binding a little bit. try spinning the auger with out the pto hooked up. Maybe you can feel a high spot.

 

[Bassicfun]

Thanks for the help guys, I will check all of that, the inside of the housing says 9ft/lbs (or 108in/lbs)... Which I just installed 2 new shear bolts and tightened to that torque spec.... The left auger (as viewed from the front) seems like it has alot of play left to right (when the bolt isn't in)... a good 3/4" + slop, the right side doesn't mimick this.. anyone willing to shoot a couple pictures of the right and left auger edges and see if they are the same spacing or not?

 

[stratton]

I will send a few pics tonight when i get home. But i dont think there is much slop from side to side with my blower. Maybe the bolts are shearing left to right. This would make sense seeing how the auger would want to push/spin itself to the outside. A few bushing should fix this problem.

Love reading this forum. I just purchased a B2910 with a B2772 and a LA402. The problem is that if I am not mistaken you an not have the midmount for the snow blower attached with the fel on - correct? We should be getting snow over the next 2 weeks so I want to get the B2772 installed and make an electric shoot hack.

I hate to loose the fel but I am not sure if there is a way to have both with the front mounted FEL. Its not a big deal when its time to hook up the blower but not to have the FEL when you install the mid mount makes not sense at all.

Now I just have to figure how to remove the FEL the proper way so I can hook it back up easily. Thanks again and I love reading this thread.

You can leave the mid mount subframe on the tractor when you are using the fel. but it kills your ground clearance. It only takes an extra minute to take this off. Loosen a locking plate and undo a pin. For the extra minute its worth having the extra clearance.

I have a B7510 with a brand new front blower that I just started using this year. I broke quite a few pins the first few times i used it. I think mainly this was due to going too fast and packing too much of the heavy stuff. What really torqued me (pun intended) was when the driveline snapped in half. Again it was very thick heavy snow and I was pushing too fast - although it didn't seem fast at the time. Seems to me Kubota could have made the driveline with sheer pins as well so it would not have cost so much to return to service.

I mentioned this on another thread, but I thought the B2750 was too light duty when I compared it to the rear-mount B2789 that I bought for my BX25 tractor, and now I am seeing several problems with the B2750 posted on TBN. I was also lead by a dealer to to believe that the (much stronger) B2789 could be mounted on the front, but then I called Kubota and they said no way - too heavy, and parts won't fit. So now I'm not sure what to think. In any case, I have my B2789 mounted on my rear 3-point hitch, and will look forward to blowing some serious snow up at the cottage this weekend. (Maybe a foot or so.) Hope the shear bolts hold out!

There's always the limited slip disc plate clutch option with the Euro Cardan shaft to eliminate those pesky issues with shear pins- drive forward and release the plug then reverse to start again.

I will attach a pic of the auger and the spacing. I will have to wait till i break the next shear pin but i dont remember much slop from left to right.

stratton - No pics showed up. I am looking at the left side as viewed from the front... maybe a bushing is something I need to look at, depending on if mine looks different from what you share. (when you can) Thanks!

I noticed my new BX2750D also has more slop on the left auger, about 3/4". But I haven't sheared any auger bolts yet. I have sheared 3 fan bolts though. We had 9-12 iches of heavy snow last week and I think it was to much for the bolts. I slow down when the snow starts to pile up infront of the blower and you can hear it working. It also could have been caused by gravel.
Well its time to jump on the little BX1500 and clear out the 4-5 inches we picked up last night.

Sounds like the outboard bearings are loose on the shaft

I bought a used 2782 2 years ago and the first season, 100' without breaking a shear pin was great. Last year the chain broke and a new O-ring chain solved the problem. The old chain was a replacement and although I oiled it like crazy, there was a kink or link that was tight or frozen and with a little piece of wood or ice = broken shear pin.

I have the BX2750 blower and it works great. I use as a rear mount, not as convenient maybe as front mount but a lot cheaper. I was in Bloomington, IL during this last blizzard to plow driveways, going through 3 & 4 foot drifts with no problems. I really believe that rear mount gives you better traction. Clear a driveway in 15 minutes! I would not spend extra money on front mounting, etc, not worth it.

 

[stratton]

The rear mount snowblower and the front loader seems like a good combination. With a long narrow driveway i didnt want to develop a crook in my neck. So the front mount for me was the only choice. Plus i have used the backhoe to pull cars back onto the driveway. The hill has claimed a few so far.

I found a Kubota BX2750C for 1350, I believe but not absolutely sure its compatible with my BX23, is this correct?

Also, it appears to have be store inside from the images, any key points I should look at if I go to look at it? Known failures? Its about 100 miles off.

Will it fit in the bed of a Tacoma?

Thanks
