I have a 7610 with a LA352 FEL and have not done my research on front mounted blowers yet - been kind of busy.
I was told that you could leave the sub-frame attached for the front mount blower on the B series and have the loader on as well (no blower of course, just the sub-frame. I did'nt believe the sales guy when he told me this it was at a fair and I was concerned he was just trying to tell me what I wanted to hear.
My Q for the kingoflawns is - does it look like the sub-frame can stay on with eh FEL attached?? I don't have a MMM so that isn't a concern and I understand that ground clearance will be less in the front - I don't need to tractor in the woods in the winter anyways. . . .
Deeeeeetails? Anybody? I've need more info. How can I dream of owning this new improved blower without more to go on? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Not trying to be a wise guy, but for $4300 one can buy two snow throwers with electric start that can throw the snow 45-50 feet and not worry about installing on the tractor. If one didn't start, you could use the other one as backup.
Why is a tractor mounted snow blower better than 2 walk behind blowers? Answer: Because in some conditions a walk behind simply isn't up to the task! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'll just sit in shirtsleeves in my heated cab to plow and salt my driveway and then watch others become frozen snowpersons with their walk-behinds. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I don't understand the pricing. I can buy a 36" walk behind with an engine on it for $600, so I would expect a 48" attachment to the tractor (that does not have an engine) to go for $800, but the Kubota one for my BX-22 seems to go for around $2500. Why?
