Updating my prior post. The old model was SB72, this years model is KS74-240FM. The manual that came with mine has a 8/2018 date stamp.
Kioti branding, but appears to be made by a Canadian company named Normand (Compagnie Normand | La performance attachee a vos tracteurs). Seems to be very nicely made. Runs from MM PTO, and the standard FEL hydraulics. Besides the special subframe, if you have a MM PTO, no additional mod necessary.
While loading on my trailer, we noticed the clearance between the hydraulic fitting and the SB was very tight, so we reversed the orientation of the hydraulic piston. If loading flat, or maybe onto a dovetail trailer, this is probably not necessary.
We haven't had as much snow this year as I had planned for, but here is a quick video. The 4 inches I was clearing is probably a pointless amount of snow to throw, but I wanted to try it out. It's not in this video, but the SB effortlessly took out a few plowed piles that were the height of the unit. Will post again once we get some deeper snow.
