I'm surprised and impressed myself so far! I prefer it to the plow truck. I don't even plow my own drive anymore. Do you have a blower or what do you use?

Hey guys, I just took the chains off today....just hoping for no more snow. The ground has mostly thawed, and there was some dirt and gravel to move doing a project. The "B" did a fine job on the biggest snow of about 14 inches. My neighbors loved my FEL/RB combination. Around here, nothing compares to what you are dealing with.
Cheers, Mike

Much prefer the front blower on my 2620 as I don't have to look for places to store the snow! If I do need the FEL it is easy enough to attach. Having said all that I am tired of winter and can't wait for spring!!!!! Just got in from the barn....had a small stroke when I found a small puddle of hydro fluid under the tractor. Traced the drips and found that because I change implements a lot during snow storms there is a bit of fluid that leaks with each time a fitting is coupled/uncoupled. Never saw that before...guess in the hot weather it volatilizes before I would see it. OK...onward and upward!

Wow, looks like you drove over that stuff, first, then backed into it, is this correct.
Are your tires loaded, chains?

Yes skyhook......I drove down the driveway and blew back up towards the house so that I could go with the wind. I just left the bucket tipped down as I drove down so the tractor belly wasn't dragging and getting packed with snow.
I have R4's, no chains and they are not filled. I have had no problem with traction. Driveway is a slight incline but not much.
I did get stuck at the neighbours though.....they have been driving over it and clean it sometimes with a push blower. So of coarse the tractor started cutting down big time and I sank. But I rocked back and forth a couple times and it came out.
Started thinking about that cab jambx. I like the open station, but would be nice to be able to blow in any direction and not have to adjust for wind. That is Lake Superior just beyond those trees, so there is always wind here.

Looks like you are having fun! One of the things I found out with all the different units that I get to use is that a little BX1800 with a cab and 50" front blower is faster to clean my home driveway then using a 40 horsepower tractor with a 72" wide loader!
Best part is I have no banks to bother my wife while pulling in and out of the driveway. From the last time I used a blower I know the lawn was the last place to find snow!

Do you think "if" you had a "rear pull" type blower,
your machine could have pulled it while driving over it?
Just curious, I am impressed on the amount of snow it handled.

I don't understand
Are you saying they can't be put on these machines or,Kubota doesn't make them,,,,there are other brands....

I don't understand
The tractor is physically too small
Next size up like an L series you can get a pull behind.

My 72 inch rear pull weighs 565 lbs.
The same 60 inch weighs 410 lbs,
you don't think that machine can pull this while driving through snow?

I don't have any experience with them skyhook, though my friend is a big believer in them. I do know my B2620 would easily handle a bigger blower.
I've blown through snow higher than the blower, where I had to go back and take a cleanup pass and it doesn't draw the engine down any in medium range.
So I really can't answer you.
I just like a standard blower because I know I can jamb it into any depth of snow I need to get through.

I use this. A friend made it from an old plow. I have the quick attach from the B3200 loader. It works well but you need front chains to steer. Please don't anybody tell me you shouldn't chain all four wheels, heard that before.
