Snowblower

[cork1017]

i have a call into Reed. just curious how much. i would def try to make my own but i dont have a welder. i could possibly try to bolt together some kid of bracket. i know its worth a shot, because i was pretty peeved when i looked at the hydrolic rotation kit.. i know i could have made that...

anyway thanks for your help.

Thanks

PS do you think there is anyway you could send me the actual specs for the brackets you made?? also where did you grab 12v on the tractor??

I got the 12 volt from under the right side fender (if you are looking at the tractor from the rear) There is a 12 volt plug that runs along the right hazzard light wireing, This 12 volt plug has a positive and negitive connection. This plug is used for an optional work light the actuator that I bought is only .05 amps.


The measurments of the top bracket:
3" wide 3-1/4" long and the bracket going up to the actuator is 1-1/4" from the side and 3" high.

Bottom bracket:
4" wide 4-1/2" long and 3" high.

Does any of this make sence?

I built the brackets using the exsisting bolt holes on the chute.

I would be nice to find out what the cost from the dealer is, Is it hydralic or electric?

LOL it does make sense(because you have pics above)... thank you very much!

I called Reed Friday and he said he would get back to me with a price, i do know that the current setup is electric. but i was wondering where they pull 12v from?

When i get more info on the setup i will let you know!!

Thanks again!

Here's a price break down with the parts on the hydraulic chute rotator.

just make sure when you get your SB52 that the wheels that hold the chute down (you will see them there are 4 of them that the chute rides in) are made of metal! that is the only weak link I have found in the blower. The plastic ones that came with mine wore out in about 15 hrs of work, then another set, then another, finally replaced with metal ones no problems since. What a difference a year makes last year by now I had over 100 hrs of blowing in. this year started it twice to move around the shop

I used the SB52" snowblower today, We had 3" of heavy wet snow. This is a fantastic blower. I never cloged and threw the snow a long way.
This is the first time all winter that we got snow. so this was its madien voyage.
The actuator for the chute deflector worked great also, was worth the time and energy it took to build it.
Thanks for the tip on the the chute rotaion wheels mine are plastic so I will have to keep an eye on them.
Do you know the part number for the metal wheels?

Hey guys, I'm new here. Bought an SC2400 a few months ago, and have been doing A LOT of research on possible future attachments, which is how I found this site. Saw the video of the SB52 on youtube before I knew it was posted by a member here. I do have some intel to pass along: As most are aware, there are only TWO PTO snowblowers for this tractor, to my knowledge - the '52, and the Berco 48". The Berco's (per the website) appear to be very well built machines. The angled drift cutters, though a minor detail, would also be strong, opposed to the ones Cub sells, that bend and twist, if blowing through very hard packed snow (on LT2042, to be fair). After talking to a local retailer of the Berco's, they are a little cheaper, too: I was quoted $3,798 + freight for the blower, $65 + freight for the drift cutters, and $199 + freight for the electric angling, freight being about $125. The hyd rotation appears to be a standard feature. A major downside would be that Berco does not have a blade that would mount to the same subframe as Cub does, so you'd have to buy the entire subframe/blade kit by Cub - might as well get the Cub and save money in the long run, with only one subframe. Until I decide to pony up though, the FEL does just fine.

Ty, I believe the front hitch for the SB52 will not work with the 60" Blade. I believe that the blade uses the same hitch as the old SB45 blower. If I am wrong perhaps others will chime in.

Do you know the part number for the metal wheels?

I'm thinking that part 38 might be the wheels/bushings but I could be wrong.

Here's the Snow BLower Front Hitchmount kit instructions. I fon't see where it says if it will work with the blade or not.

You know, I guess I did overlook that. My local dealer did say they were compatible with each other, but did not specify between the older 45 or the new 52, though I do recall from a different conversation he did say they don't make the 45 anymore. Hmm... guess I'll have to find out. I'll let you all know when I get an answer.
