Nice, enjoy! My 2920 has been my best friend since we moved out into the country. I'd probably have a broke back and broke spirit without it!

Congrats! A decision you will not regret.

I just got a new B3350 (so don't belong here :c), but couldn't resist replying to the QA or no QA question. The B3350 is my 4th Kubota and first with a QA. It's a standard skid steer quick attach (SSQA), so there are many attachments that are available. The only one I have so far being 42" pallet forks from "Everything Attachments". I got the light weight, 1800 lb capacity forks that probably weigh near or less than the removed bucket.
Switching back and forth between bucked and forks is amazingly quick and simple. True, I impress easy, but this QA is something else! Drive up to the attacment, put loader arm upper edge into upper lip of attachment, lift, step off tractor and swing two over-center levers - done. Takes just a minute total and is much less hassle than bucket clamp-ons. There's also no risk of bending and deforming bucket cutting edge and the QA forks move the pallet, tree stump, large rock or stack of brush/tree limbs closer to the loader pivot for better weight distribution and more load capability.
The SSQA is almost a must have now that I've owned one. Just wish my BH77 hoe had quick attach for easier bucket swapping.

Do you run the snowblower with the BH on? Or do you drop the backhoe and run just the blower? I'm getting one but worried the front end will be too light with the BH on.

I leave the bh off as I am running loaded r4 tires. So far the 4wd had been sufficient for plowing or blowing
Thanks. Do you think you can run with the BH on? I like that just in case it gets stuck it's real easy to get unstuck... The dealer says it needs to come off because it takes too much weight off of the front, but its' also the same guy that told me it should work fine when I was ordering it.

I seriously doubt you will have adequate steering performance with backhoe attached. 'Coarse this will depend on conditions, hilly terrain, ice layer under snow etc. My B3350 pushes the B2782 fine with nothing on the back and non-loaded tires under most conditions. On those few occasions where traction is lost, it's usually the steering end rather than the rear.

Also, If you are running the FEL control in float then the front end might be too loose as there would be no weight from the implement. One other thing I found is that the bh makes the unit a lot longer and that might mean getting orange paint on things you didn't want to paint.
