Factory Kubota Blowers

[MesaPlower]

Anyone have an opinion on the factory Kubota 74" rear snow blowers [BL2674]. I know there are many other options, but this one I can finance!

If the rear ones are anything like my front one (B2782--60 inch, I believe) they are an extremely well built piece of equipment. Mine handles wet snow, ice and even gravel without a second thought. I've broken one shear pin in four winters--often in extreme conditions with a beginner(me) at the controls. Hopefully, someone has experience with the exact one you are looking at.
Regards, and welcome, Mike

I have a smaller(52") front mounted Kubota blower mounted on my BX2200 and the only negative I have is that it is difficult to line up the holes when I break an auger shear pin and part of the pin is in the shaft. I'm still trying to figure out how to mark the shaft so that I can line 'em up and punch out the broken pin. Other than that, it has been a trouble free, really effective way to move snow.
