Snow Snow Blowers

Fritzy · Sep 2, 2009

I have a Snow Blower that started out as a front mount, it was modified to a rear mount. When I got my first Kubota 1700 it had a switch that you could run 540 or 1070, I was told to run it fast, which I did and it could throw snow like crazy. When I got the 3030 cab I rebuilt the blower, new steel, bearings and paint,don't want the new machine to look bad. Anyway after all that my 3030 only runs 540 out the back, does the mid PTO run fast than the back? It work very good and I don't have any problems but it would be nice to throw the snow as far as I did with the old girl.

Fritzy,

The mid PTO on a B3030 turns 2500 RPM at rated speed (engine 2600 RPM).

I doubt you want to turn your old blower that fast - you may want to consider slowing it down a bit or it might tear itself up at that kind of input speeds

Good luck!

It seems odd that the B2x20 series has selectable 540/960 RPM for rear PTO and the deluxe featured B3030 doesn't. Does anybody know why?

'cause the B2x20 series is cooler?

(I got a b2620 too).
