After talking to my John Deere Dealer, a couple of weeks ago, I got the impression that they will be unveiling a new blower next season that will be 50" wide, I too dislike having the 47" snowblower on my 2320. But have to admit that it does work well. I know that Kubota has a 50" front mount blower on their machine but you would have to adapt the mounts and driveshafts (sounds like a lot of work) I would talk to your JD dealer and see whats coming down the pipeline. Hey look at it this way, we are into January already. I guess that I would sit on it till the summer.
