Snow BX Quick Couplers

[mw3designs]

I’m am in the process of sourcing parts for a hydraulic chute deflector I’m building for my bx2750. Have everything but the hydraulic couplers in the cart on Surpluscenter.com , not sure which style the BX takes? Is it the S10-2? Any help is appreciated!

I’m a bit confused. Do you have a third function diverter that you want to hook up or are you hooking up the chute. For example, the bx2412 third function that I had installed used the poorest excuse for couplers I’ve seen. The plow I also got had the matching pos. I’ve switched out both for the summit hydraulics flat faced 3/8 “ couplers. Some of the couplers used for the quick connect for the FEL are 1/4inch flat faced. Guess Kubota may change sizes based on whatever standards they use.

My blower has manual chute rotator, and deflector. The only functions it has hydraulic are to raise the unit up and down. I don’t mind turning the handle to rotate the chute, but to get on and off the tractor to adjust the deflector is an inconvenience. I do not have a 3rd function, and considering there are two available hydraulic ports I decided to use them for a hydraulic chute control.

I added a hydraulic chute control to my b3350 and the kit came with the couplers that were already on the FEL. Sorry, that’s not going to help. Look at your FEL couplers and you might find part numbers engraved on them that your supplier might be able to reference.

These are what I used on my BX25 for my BX2750D.

Slightly off topic but .. mine has an electric chute rotator, motor died, did some research and discovered it was a common off the shelf power window motor. Found one new for about $35. So for those of you with manual rotators you can probably just purchase the brackets and such and get a power window motor and save a lot of money over the factory kit.

Yes, I've seen several reporting use of power window motors, more often power seat motors and attached rotary screw drives, and other automotive small motors to rotate chutes on snowblowers. Far cheaper and I would think more practical than hydraulic remotes. Not so many seem to care about adjusting chute deflector angle adjustment.

My BX has the Parker QD same as what Smiley posted. Had to replace all the ones on the FEL as they rusted up.

I would call their tech desk and ask. As far as I can tell they are not compatible with the Parker ones used by Kubota. I looked at them when I needed the ones for my FEL. I tried the Tractor Supply supposed Parker knockoff and they did not work-leaked. Bought real Parker at the Hydraulic shop close by and they were actually cheaper. Surplus Centers shipping cost sucks.
