I have a Kubota M-5400 and a B-2910 plus a G-1800 riding mover which is orange too.
I am planning to purchase the Kubota to snow blow a 1/2 mile road with the tractor and a Kubota snow blower. Has anyone done much snow blowing with a tractor and is 30 hp enough power. Thanks, Kenta.
P.S. Thanks for all the help with my first question about deciding between the B2910 and the B7800. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif <font color="yellow"> </font> <font color="white"> </font>
I also have a REAR mount 60" Buhler Farm King snowblower. I find the 24hp (19 pto hp) of the smaller New Holland to be plenty of power for the 60" blower. I have not run it through anything too deep or too heavy yet, but that is only because nature has not provided the challenge in my local this season.
I would think that the B2910 would handle a 72" or 74" blower. I bought a 60" because that is about the max I can use with the smaller tractor and the minimum I would consider for the larger tractor, so it works for me either way. But so far I've only used it with the smaller NH and I see no reason to switch based on the performance I've gotten so far. I'll be running it again tonight as we are getting a pretty good snowfall RIGHT NOW.
As for blowing a half mile of road, I've not tried that (YET) but I have gone as far as the neighbors house (1/8th mile) plus my drive way, etc. I would think you'd be fine with the Kubota. Bear in mind, 30hp at the engine is not 30hp at the pto shaft. So if you are considering something other substantially larger than a 6' blower, make sure the PTO hp is enough to run the blower.

I have a 64" Puma snowblower behind my Kubota B2710. My dealer recommended that size since it more than covers the rear tire path. It has more than enough power to blow snow from any storm we get here in NH. I just stick it in low range and go. The depth and heaviness of the snow will dictate the speed. You wil have no problems if you keep the blower size at or under 72".
