front blade install on a mower equipped tractor

[grossgary]

look at the front snow plow/dozer blade from Kubota for a B7100 and i currently use mine to mow with a 60" MMM.

i don't know much about attachments. can the subframes usually stay on the tractor when installing the MMM or does the subframe have to come off every time?

no one knows if the front dozer blades for the B7100 differ between manual and HST's or 2WD/4WD do they?

On my b3200 the sub frame stays on and I can't imagine it would be any different on a b7100. Really pretty easy to do but the plow quick hitch is heavy. It lines up easily and once on it is a snap to get the plow on. I would guess I can take off the mower and install the quick hitch in maybe 30 minutes or less. That's for a guy who usually spends half his time looking for stuff so you might be able to do it faster.

FYI - The quick hitch would be used for s front mount snow blower too and I think the rotary broom. On the B series I believe they are all mid mount and the L's have a hitch that goes back to the rear hitch.

Snow plows are the easiest items to find info on so feel free to ask me questions - I know I was frustrated that my dealer didn't even seem to have all the answers - He said they don't sell a lot of them because people use their loaders to plow snow but on my gravel driveway the loader doesn't work all that great.

Thanks. That makes sense. I really don't want to be removing mounts every year.

I'm not sure what my driveway is, it's not gravel but it's not solid blacktop either. it's like a half and half. There's some blacktop solidity to it, for a lack of better term, but a lot of crushed fine gravel over it as well. So yeah a broom, blower won't work for me either. I don't need it pristine I just need to not have a foot of snow laying there.
