Grading B7610 and B2765 A Front Blade

[dholly]

KillerB - nice setup, thanks for posting on this. I will be trying to retrofit a existing front plow blade (off skidsteer, see attachment) to my 7610 before next winter and your pics are very helpful. To that end, I have some related info that anyone thinking of the same might find helpful. Hope you don't mind my posting it here.

Attached is an exploded view of the subframe parts. Originally, I thought it might be best to purchase the male and female quickhitch from Kubota and fabricate a subframe. Then I got prices. The male part, PN#70001-00613 alone was quoted at $406.55.

This is the corresponding parts number list for the preceeding exploded view.

Here is an exploded view of the blade assembly and female side hitch. The female quick hitch PN#70001-00652 was quoted at $242.25.

For both male and female quick hitchs, the total was $648.80.

KillerB,

So the quick hitch attachment from Kubota that will fit both the blower & plow blade was how much if you dont mind me asking?

After deciding that might be a little rich and, since I probably wouldn't be hooking up other oem front implements with the oem quickhitch, I figured maybe making my own quickhitch and welding it to the oem subframe assembly might be the way to go.

So I priced out B2761 subframe PN#70001-00612. That was quoted at $616.10, and the left/right brackets, PN#70001-615/614 were $39.80ea., or a total of $695.70.

Maybe I'll go to Plan B and fabricate it all. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Skidmark,

I got the subframe as part of a package deal with the tractor, so I really don't know the individual cost. But it looks like Dholly has the number for you in the post above.
