I ran the kubota 2650 front mount unit for years, she would throw snow 50' @ 2500 rpm. I now have a 30 hp kubota with the 2782 front blower. This new design can be used on the front or rear 3pt. This new design, when used up front has a center pin break away, you can remove the blower itself leaving the subframe on the tractor & switch back to the fel fairly quickly.
