Kubota B/L2563 on L2250DT with FEL bracket?

[bjorn773]

I have an old L2250DT with a FEL on it currently. I am looking to pick up a snow blade or blower. On MP in my area is a B/L2563 which looks like will fit per a google search (please correct me if I am wrong). It is currently mounted on an L2900. I have a few questions I'm hoping the members here can answer.

Will the blower frame and the FEL mounting bracket fit on the tractor at the same time?
Or would I need to remove the FEL bracket for winter?

Are the L2900 brackets the same as needed for the L2250?

Has anyone run this combination that can provide feedback on performance?

Please advise. Thanks!

Yes the 2563 should fit your L2250 but the loader comes off and the front blower and frame goes on - its appears to be a quite alot of connections to make too, and do you have a center PTO on your tractor? They also make a 3PT hitch version of the 2563 too, which would be easier, or for that matter, just buy a used 3PT snowblower for the rear.

You get some decent snow there, just north of Rockford, but how much are you clearing, and does it drift a lot? If you are dealing with a long drive - 1/4 to 1/2 mile, and dont have room to push snow, then a blower makes sense.

If you have smaller driveway, and room to move snow to the sides, a 6 or 7' rear blade will work very well and they are 5-800 range used. This is the set up I used for many years.

I have a pretty short driveway, so the blower is likely overkill. I've been using a skid loader with a hydraulic plow to clear mine and the neighbor's (who has a much larger driveway than me). Honestly, the skid loader is overkill as well (for my drive anyway). I have 7' rear blade for the tractor and used a combo of the FEL and rear blade prior to buying the skid loader. It did work quite well. I'm looking to streamline equipment, so the SL will likely go up for sale before winter.
I have a JD445... maybe I should be looking for a plow for that instead... much more maneuverable.

Thanks for the input.

I started with my Cub Cadet 1811 (similar to the 445) with a plow and chains, for 8 years, then got my Kubota B21 in 2001 and rear blade set up and havent used the Cub for snow since. Also have a walk behind SB for paths and walkways.

I bought a 60" PTO rear blower, in 2016, (after 130" snow in 2 month) then we have never gotten that much again!

I found the SB was taking up space, and just dont need it with the snow we get now so I sold it.
