Snow Attachments Snow Blower help

[jmls1994]

I have a Kubota BX2360. It is rated 23HP engine & 17.7HP at the PTO. I'm looking for a used three point snow blower. My question is what size rear blower could I run? Also, has anyone heard of a Inland Steel and Forging, LTD? I'm guessing they are an old company. Also, any thoughts on a 716 C case unit.

Thanks for your help!

You have not mentioned if you have a loader for this thing as a loader and a rear mount SNOW CASTER are great combination for snow removal.


There is lot that can go bad on a used snow caster bearings, gearbox, shafts, roller chains etc. I used snow caster will have no warranty.

The only way you are going to find a used rear mount is an local auction or looking at tractor house or iron planet or Auctionsales.ca or you have a dealer that may have a used unit in "good condition".


It depends strictly on how much money you can afford to spend and how many remotes you have if any on your kubota BX2360. You have to decide how much you can afford before YOU GO ANY FURTHER.


You can use a five or six foot snow caster but you will be crawling on your first pass as you would be doing in heavy snow anyway.

Even if you buy a new 5 foot snow caster with manual chute rotation and spout control you would be mioney ahead because you NEED a snow blower.

Depends on the typical depth of wet snow you deal with. If snow conditions are light you could go => 60 inches. If snow conditions are heavy you should stick to something smaller like a 51-54" unit.

Another consideration is what size is your FEL bucket? It is a good idea to make sure the rear blower path will clear room for your bucket if you keep your loader on.

I have a BX 2360 with rear remotes. Just bought a landspride 51" 3pt snowblower. picked it up friday, used it sunday on 18" of wet snow. worked awesome. I have seen people with 60" blowers on the back of a BX. I would think, 54" would be the max I would go and be reasonable in weight off the 3PH. and power needed to blow heavy wet snow.

I have a B7510 about same engine and PTO HP. I run a kubota 53" rear snowblower with the side extensions. With deep snow I take it slow on the first pass, and then about half the width of the blower in each other pass. Works great for me, been doin it now for 4 yrs.

jmls1994 there is another way to look at this? During the winter the only way I get seat time is blowing snow. So if your like me I would take the smallest blower that will clear the wheels?

With my BX 2200 (16.7 PTO HP.) I run a 60" Buhler/Farm King with no power problems. If the going is real bad you can go as slow as necessary with the hydrostatic on the first cut and then smaller bites on subsequent passes.

I recently learned about this "pull behind" snow blower model by QuickAttach Inc. This would be the model I would choose if I was buying a snow bower.

Pull behind is nice so you can drive forward. BUT remember you have to drive thru the snow before snow blower blows it. Your packing it down and if it's big drifts your driving thru it or trying to.

Yes thats true. The most we get here is about 18-20" at one time. Thats only 1/2 way up my front tires. That may not be the best for some locations. I like the front mount models too. Drifts are another matter. I could always knock them down with the loader bucket.
