Snow B2920 Snow removal video's

[ericher69]

This is some video that I captured yesterday while removing a fresh 8-10" snow fall with the B2920 51" industrial front quick hitch blower with hydraulic shute rotation and electric shute deflector SIMS cab with heat and strobe. The cab is also wired with 2 front mount 55W spots and 2 Rear 55W floods.

Notice the custom Jerry Can holder on the back blade and the custome "shovel mount" on the back blade with toolbox.

That sure looks like it works pretty well! It sure beats the heck out of my walk behind snowblower...... I'm going to have to price one of those out for my B2620 I guess.

ChuckinNH;

If you can go with the 63" blower. I have the 51" only because I do residential snowremoval and didn't want/need the extra width (some tight spaces). I have 21 pto HP and I don't even run it at pto rated speed and have not bogged down the engine once yet!

Electric actuator was from Frigelli auto out of California. About $100.00 u.s.

Is it even compatible? When I ordered, my dealer said no. I can't see why it wouldn't work.

That does seem to work well. It looks like you weight the blade down on the back. Does that cause problems with the tractor and traction?

I can't see why it wouldn't either. It should go right on the QH......I'm guessing the dealer was probably going by the width blower Kubota recommends based on the HP.

I made a couple vids last night myself. ericher69......... i can see you are diggin' that cab !!!!

What do you mean I weigh the blade down? It's a 5 gal. jerry can and a small toolbox with a hand shovel.

NO if anything it helps with traction! I'm amazed at the amount of snow that can be pulled with this machine!

ericher, I would probably get the narrow blower too because of tight places I have to get. I looked on the Kubota site, and they don't even show any snowblowers for the new B's yet!

Ductape, good video! There is a video on the JD forum of a guy using a 3520 to blow a long driveway, one thing that strikes me about your video is how much better the visibility of the blower is from a B3030, than it is from the JD. I found the same thing with loaders when I was sitting on all of them, but your video really points that out.

 

[Evil the Weasel]

They list them when you configure and price out the models.

OK, Ductape, that was weird.

Same song on your radio during the snowblowing in the dark video as the snowblowing during the daylight video.

 

[ericher69]

Ductape;

Do you have extra lights on the cab? Seems like only the headlights are showing you the way...or are they off

Ericher,
I just looked at the video again. I thought your toolbox was a suitcase weight. It sure looks like it is doing a good job. I guess I am going to have to wear my glasses more often.

Chuck, i saw the JD video..... he did a great job on it. I have no idea how to edit video yet. We just got the video camera two days ago..... i was barely able to figure out how to get it on youtube.

I definitely agree the visibility on the 3030 is fantastic. I can see my skid shoes perfectly on the ends of the blower to see if i've strayed off the asphalt and started to dig up grass (which i did plenty ). But.... the 3X20 Deeres are a larger machine also.......... so i guess i'd expect slightly less visibility?

OK, Ductape, that was weird.

I think i strayed into some sort of time warp over the weekend. Its actually a CD i was listening to. A Boston area radio station put out a couple CDs years ago that had some of their best gags by their DJs. All the music on them was recorded live by the artists in-studio...... i believe the profits went to local charities. It just seemed as though i were listening to the radio.

Is a rear blade really necessary? I realize it is handy to have to pull snow away and such, but can the blower alone scrape the driveway clean, or does it skim it too much? (just wondering, don't have one yet)

 

[Ductape]

Ductape;

ericher69

I have the factory worklights (front only) up at the roofline. I believe you can see the bottom of the left light one in the video. I really need the rears, but haven't had the extra coin lately.

Great Video, it tooks like it is warm and dry in the cab!! THanks for posting!

Understandable how you could have made that mistake. It's a 6x12x6 Craftsman plastic toolbox that we made a bracket for. It is mounted to a 5/8 piece of plywood painted black that is mounted to the blade.

SnowridgeMe; Yes a back blade is crucial if you are getting near garages or parked cars! The blower will pull back some snow but not when there is a foot plus.

Ductape; Ok I can see the lights now...must be floods in the front.

Kcook; Yes it is nice and dry/warm. Worth the extra $$ for sure if you put in some serious seat time!

Quick question? You mentioned you have 4 55w lights. Are they run through the live lead located next to the right side of your seat? Did you have to install a relay to get the lights to work? I only ask because I will be beginning a project where I will add 4 55w fog lights, and a 35 w HID rotating spot. Total the current draw will be about 23 amps (If all are on). I do not want to start a fire. Everyone tells me to use the relay that came with the Hella lights. I'm just curious if your lights have a relay and are hooked into the "work" light line (20amp). Thanks!

Awesome video's, when my 63" blower arrives in the spring I'll be sure to post pictures of me blowing piles of dirt around my yard! You have got a great machine!
