I know I wondered if the Kubota factory quick hitch (which allows use of the factory front blade, front snowblower and front broom) was compatible with the Kubota mid mount mower front hanger support. I knew the mower itself would have to be removed but I was not sure until today if I had to remove the front mower support hanger before mounting the quick hitch.

Well I found out this morning that the quick hitch mounts fine with the front mower hanger mount still in place :D. At least that is the case with the front blade which is what I have. I am not sure if you have the mid pto coupler installed (which would power a front snowblower and/or front broom) as I do not have that option.

I had read/heard that the older Kubota "B" series required the front mower mounting hardware to by physically removed before the quick hitch could be mounted but they apparently fixed that problem on the newer "B" series.

FYI,
Norm

It may not be as easy as you think to mount the front blade. Check out the pictures in Kubota Gallery Looks like there are some heavy bracket that need to be installed toward rear of tractor to mount blade.

Ron, no rear brackets. The front quick hitch hangs off the tractor front bumper and there is a rear support for the quick hitch that mounts in the area of the frame just forward of the fel supports under the tractor. Nothing in the rear is added. I already have the quick hitch on the tractor along with the Kubota front blade. I did not have to add anything to the rear in terms of brackets etc.

When you remove the Kubota MMM you pin up the mower lift hardware. The MMM does require brackets that go to the rear 3pt lift arms. The rear 3pt is what actually lifts the MMM when it is installed. First tractor I have owned but I have to say it is a very well thought out design.

That sounds great. One of the reasons I went with a FEL mounted blade was dealer said tractor mounted blade would be a pain to install.
