Would use strickly for snow removal... curious if the 5' or 6' blade will rotate all the way around without detaching?? Thanks guys!

I have a KK 6 foot that swivled ok although I think the 6 foot was a little much for my 2210.

Thank you! To much for blading snow? I won't be doing any serious dirt work with it...

Also, how heavy of a KK blade did you get? Thanks for your reply...

The KK blade I have is 6 foot. I am not sure of the weight. The tractor will lift it fine. The problem is when you are dealing with 6" or more of snow. The blade acts as a rudder and will want to turn your tractor. Since the 2210 does not have separate brakes you will be fighting keeping a straight line. I ended up trading with a neighbor that has the L3000 kubota. He had a 5 foot blade. During the winter he used my 6 foot and I used his 5 foot. The 5 foot just seemed to be a better match for the 2210.

Good to know... thank you! I'll be sure to stick with a 5' blade.

I have a 5ft RB for my 2210. I agree, when plowing heavy snow 5ft is enough. I have the FEL on and 100 pounds on each rear wheel, so traction isn't a problem, but a 6 footer would probably "overpower" the tractor in heavy going.
