Yes, the QA specs are the same, so all buckets, forks, spears and blades will fit all the way through the 400x/cx series loaders.
Classic:
The 47 is not a "stupid little blower". I've done 4 foot drifts here and even saved a neighbor or two when the snow started flying. It does slow down the 2320 at 24 hp if you push it too fast although the 2720 never misses a beat.
While it's true hp sells it is also true that hp makes a big difference.
Run a generator or a rotary cutter and hp is very apparent.
A 2320 will give you about 18 pto hp which is a little low for me. I like to see at least around 24 or 25 hp myself.
If you want a 2 series then I'd go with the 2720 and not the 2320.

Compared to what other companys sell for a blower the 47 is a joke. I can fill that blower to overflowing with my 4110 and never lose an RPM. Secondly it's 6" narrower than the tractor. They need a blower at least 56" wide to work properly. That blower was introduced for the 425 garden tractor. And it did a good job for that application. That was 15 years ago. Tractors have changed since then.
As for a generator, I run a 10KW (10,000) watt unit with the 4110 and it never misses a beat. Power to spare.
I guess I'll have to get a blower custom built.

I saw a Kubota front snowblower on a B2920 not long ago, and it had the optional drift knives mounted. It looked like they added a couple, or three inches of width per side since they were somewhat z shaped. They bolted to both the top of the blower opening as well as the side, and I thought at the time that they could work just fine on the JD blower as well. A couple of measurements would confirm that. I wish that I had written down the part number that was included in the price tag...... They were also black, and not the dreaded Kubota orange.
First off. I easily slowed down the engine on my ex 2320 pushing snow with the 47 blower and it had 24 hp as opposed to the 20 you can't seem to slow down on a full bucket.
Secondly. The math doesn't add up on your generator. 10KW / 746 = 13.4 hp. That's without efficiency losses which all generators and drivelines have. (that's why your 20 hp tractor has 17 pto hp.)
Northern's 7200 watt gen. requires, according to them, 14 hp. Your tractor puts out 17 pto. Doing the math for Northern's generator and yours that means 14/7200 = 17/x which = 8,742 watts is just about the max your gen. will pull with your pto IF you really have 17 pto hp. So you may be running it but you're not running it at 10KW with "power to spare". Sorry.
The rule for gens. is 2 pto hp. for every KW which is just about what Northern requires for theirs.
2 hp per KW

AND it's not 6" narrower than the tractor not even the 2720. Geeze get your facts straight!
