Kubota Snowblowe & Quick Hitch Availability

[temahuffy]

Well dosen't look like I will get a bx2750D anytime soon the dealer told me that RAD owed Kubota about 350 yet for this year. May get cought up by the time the snow melts. I may be better off to wait until spring and get one when the dealers are more willing to dicker.

temahuffy,

Don't despair, if you really want one they may be able to be had. I had luck bugging my dealer constantly. I also started calling every Kubota dealership accross the country. In the end my dealer called the Kubota rep and complained. When the rep returned the call he told my dealer that my blade was just loaded on a truck and was headed my way. I should see it this week hopefully. Snow equipment is hard to come by this year but not impossible.

The B2781A is the 51" heavy duty blower for the new B2X20 series. Look for that one also.

Don't hold your breath....Kubota has YET to update their website from the defunct BX50 series to the current BX60 series ! If they can't update their corporate website to reflect new products available to their dealers and consumers you shouldn't be surprised they didn't plan snow equipment production properly.

I'm looking seriously at a New Holland or a Deere.

Evil,

Do you have any idea what the differances are between the regular BX2750D blower and the heavy duty B2781A blower that you have are? It is probably a moot point for me, as I already have a blower, but when I was shopping, no one was able to tell me the differance other that a whole lot of money. Some specs and especially pictures would be great for those who are shopping.

Thanks

Tom

Re: Kubota Snowblower & Quick Hitch Availability

Most if not all dealers in Maine from what I've found are flat out of blowers. Last winter was so severe here, blowers are non-existent.

That would not do you any good. They are both in the same boat. I sell New Holland, we can't get those either.

The skid shoes are different and it's an inch wider for starters. The configuration tool specifies it as heavy duty, but it's really hard to tell where that applies from pictures only. Here is one pic I took of mine when it was installed. I can take more pics easy enough if you like. We have 4" of snow in the driveway right now so I believe I will be trying it out today. I could wait for it to melt but that wouldn't be any fun.

EtW,

That's a real nice set-up! Could you post a picture of your rig from the other side? I was hoping to see the hydraulic set-up. I own a 2920 and I'm having a tough time deciding between a blower like you have, and a pull-behind that mounts on the three point. My dealer said I could have a front-mount blower by spring, and a pull behind sometime in January. Just not sure about how well they work. Anyone have any experience with those? Anyone hear of a heavy duty 63" front mount that will fit on a 2x20? Dealer said it would work???

Sure I will post some more pics. I just got back inside from 'trying' to clear the slushy white stuff in the driveway. Just as I feared, it clogged up the chute just as bad on the 2620 as my old one. I hosed it out and put it away until it get a little colder outside.

Also, I was investigating why my dealer removed a brace underneath the tractor that connects to both loader supports. This brace is about 10"x6" and has 4 nuts welded onto it. It certainly wasn't a clearance issue as I removed one bolt from each side of the quick hitch and was able to put it back into place with no interference. The 'problem' is the bolts (with 1.5" of thread) are not long enough to make it through the thickness of the quick hitch and lock washer and still reach the captive nuts. I'm thinking my dealer could have just used a longer bolt instead of removing it completely. I think I will go fetch me a couple! Stay tuned for some pics. Maybe I'll get the wife to take some action shots if this snow keeps up!

I did ask my salesman at purchase time about compatibility with the 62" blower for the B3030 series. He said it wouldn't work and mentioned it being too heavy or something. This one is plenty big and covers the wheel width which works for me.
