Rear 3pt snowblower for B3200

[jim_wilson]

Has anybody bought one of these recently?

From what I've been reading the Kubota rear blowers for the B3200 are available in 51" width or 64" width.

I would be looking at the 64" model. I would like to get the hydraulic chute rotate and deflector adjustment - but I may
just add it later also.

What sort of pricing should I expect on these? Do the dealers discount them at all if they've still got them on the lot
when the warm weather shows up?

From what I understand the Kubota blowers are made for them by Blizzard - which seems to get good reviews. The other
brand I was looking at was Pronovost.

Either one of those would be fine - both well made and will last a long time. I ended up with the Kubota since the dealer was closer. (and the color matches.. Hydraulic chute rotation works well.

If you don't mind me asking - about how much did the blower with the chute rotation cost?

Hi Jim,

Sorry did not see your message - probably way past due - apologies for that. To tell you the truth, it was part of a deal when I traded in the B3200 for the B3030 and so no real breakdown per say.. Also I don't think the Canadian price would really be a good indicator for you? Your price would likely be less? Once again, apologies for not getting back to you sooner!!

No problem. This is going to be a longish term project. Once my time frees up I'll be looking around to see what's available. I'm leaning towards Pronovost - but I'll see what happens.

I have the 64" 'Kubota' rear blower and am very happy with it. Width wise it is a great match for the B3200 (clears the path of the tractor and rarely bogs the engine down).

I have the manual rotation and no chute deflector control. I find the rotation easy to use and I set the chute deflector 2 winters ago and haven't felt the need to re adjust! I would try the manual options and add hydraulics if they do not suit your needs.

With manual rotation I paid around $2200 CDN (~7% off list at the time) for the blower as a part of the tractor package and it was the least discounted item by quite a percentage. Currently my dealer has 10% advertised off list of all in stock blowers. I bought mine in the late summer......

Thanks for the info. I sold my other blower (an old Loftness 54" that didn't really throw all that far using the 540rpm PTO on the B3200) - last Friday. And snow season it almost at an end here. I'm going to look around over the spring/summer and see what I can find. I'd really like to get a Pronovost because I've heard nothing but good things about them - but if the Kubota is seriously cheaper then I may go that route. Gonna have to see what I can find.
