Kubota B2782B front snow blower

[HEC]

I am disappointed in this blower and the way it was put together , and who ever designed it surely has never had to work on it . Set screws falling out do to no lock tight on them . A bolt came out where the front drive shaft hooks to the blower and the shaft was spinning and banging around until I could shut that off . The reason I know the bolt had to have come out is due to a keyway on the shaft and I was able to find the key on the ground . The front driveshaft guard was destroyed , the keyway slot disfigured just slightly but took about 2 hrs. to make necessary repairs and get it going again . There are way to many moving parts for a front blower for me anyway . I wish I had gone with a rear blower and front end loader and a front mounted plow for the minor storms .

Did you buy it new or used? Just wondering what condition it was in. If new, you should be able to sell it, buy a rear blower and front blade and still have money left over!

It was brand new

Hello HEC,

one possibility would be that perhaps you could consign it to the dealer and sell it that way but you would still need a snow blower as soon as you consign it to them UNLESS you order a 2 stage pronovost snow blower from Paul Vanderzon or a single stage Meteor from a local dealer.
