rear snowblower for B7500

texblonigan · Jul 29, 2002

Can anybody recommend a rear snowblower for my B7500? I posted a question about the Kubota BL2660 60 inch rear snowblower and go zero responses, so I assume it is not a popular item. Who makes the best, or one of the best, rear snowblowers that work well with a B7500? My concern is that the reverse hydro pedal location means that the chute rotater would have to be over the driver's right shoulder for easy access.

I have a 54" <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.pronovost.qc.ca/puma.html>Puma</A> with a manual chute for my B7500. It suits me fine. I wouldn't mind a little more snow this year so that I can really try it though - last year was sad. Only one minor complaint and that's the manual chute crank is located directly in the center of the unit, and if I lift it all the way up it smacks my SMV sign.

I also have the Puma 54 on my BX2200, got in May 2002, for $1000.00, have not used it yet. I looked around it was the best deal I could find. This is a good time of year to shop for snow blowers. Got mine in Mass and I am in NJ, 5 hour ride ( was in the area on business), but figured I saved about $250-$300. I looked at the following: JRW- $1100, Farm King $1200, Norman $1400, Meteor $1300, all in the 54 inch range, you may be able to go with a larger 60" model??? Check out www.sweettractor.com, Ken has the Farm King model, but more then I listed. I purchased a First Choice tiller from Ken in March, the transaction went very well. I called around to dealers in NY, VT, PA, and MASS, where ever they get a lot of snow. Some were sold out, some did not have the size I was looking for, some were not interested in dealing with me because I was from NJ! All are made in Canada as far as I know.

Good luck

I have a 7500 and purchased a 60" Buhler/Allied. We did not get any big dumps last season so blew the banks back the plow left, handled it fine. I had to install 3 Kubota weights on the front though, you could lift the front of the tractor up with one hand. Am happy so far with the quality.
