Snow Attachments snow lower.

Did any body tried to install a front end 47 inches snow blower from john Deere on a Kubota bx 25. Dealer think that my bx won't run fast enough because it is a diesel compare to gas engine

You could probably make it fit especially if the blower was shaft drive if you are handy at fabricating. Typically a gas motor on a mower turns 3600rpm and the BX will turn 3500rpm.

I'm not familiar with the bx25 but I assume they have a mid pto. I operate a 47" on my 2305 jd diesel. Can't see any problem as far as pto speed, unless I'm missing something.

those front blowers are designed to run from a mid pto, which is 2100 rpm or so. Engines run at 3500-3600.
another consideration is pto rotation direction, as some machines have their pto's turning in different directions.
example, ptos on jd front mowers spin in the opposite direction from the front ptos on the compact tractors.
so although a blower may physically mount up to another machine, there still needs to be some more investigation
on pto direction and speed.
gas vs diesel would have no bearing on a pto driven attachment, although in the older days a lot of front
blowers ran from engine driven ptos, instead of transmission ptos. in that case a higher torque diesel would
be a little more efficient in heavier snow conditions.
