Kubota BX 2750 Snowblower

[Lockport]

Here's a video of my wife running ours.

Nice video. Although it seems like there was a layer of snow still on the ground AFTER your wife went over it. Was it not down as low as it should have or is that how it comes out?


I'm going to wait until October to buy the 2750.[/QUOTE]

As I have a gravel driveway I keep the skid shoes set to about an inch and a half to two inches with the concept in mind that when a layer of ice forms I will raise them but only say that and never actually have.

Jay,

If u have the $$ now, start calling around for prices, if u wait until October you and everyone else is looking and the old supply and demand story applies. I found a dealer who had a used unit in May and did not want to keep it around until the fall so I helped him with his space problem. Do not be afraid to call around, I found my unit in Mass.

The list price for the Kubota BX2751 Sub-frame w/Mid PTO kit is $995, and the BX2750 50" snowblower is $1610. eBay Store - Byrd Tractor Inc of Manassas: Kubota attachments: New Kubota RC72-27B 72 mid-mower for B2710 2910 7800

When i traded in my B7500 for my B3030, i sold my 2650 blower,2019 front blade & subframe for 2 grand, a tbn member came up from maryland in a flash to grab them! There are deals out there, just be patient and seek them out! New york yankees fan is correct on the timing, you need to get moving now on snowblowers, one serious snow storm & they will sell out for the season!

Are they just installing the blower and subframe onto the tractor?? If so, I do not see why u should pay them, unless u plan to have them do it for u each fall and spring.

 

[jam2004]

I told them I would install it myself since I would have to install/remove in winter/spring. Doesn't sound too difficult.

I recall having to drill 2, 3/4" holes to install the subframe. It was a lot less labor if the tractor had loader stanctions.

Nope not on the BX, no holes needed to be drilled to mount the quick hitch. 4 pins hold it in place, in the same holes as where the MMM front supports are located. The only part u have to add is a protective shield under the oil pan on the engine. Two bolts and u are done, it has to come off in the spring since it hits the MMM.

Getting those 4 pins are a pain, BUT no tools are needed EXCEPT for a large hammer.

I don't take mine off, but I will admit that I think its proportions may have changed a little from the time of original installation!!!

I never removed my B7500 subframe until i sold it. I do remove the subframe on the B3030 for the summer.

 

[NY_Yankees_Fan]

It is not a sub frame but a quick hitch, looks like this.

 

[jam2004]

Those pictures were very helpful to me in envisioning what was behind the snowblower. Thanks.

The subframe is fairly heavy, but can be lifted pretty easily. Only issue I had with mine was that it chewed through sheer pins all the time until I learned to RPM all the way down and engage the PTO and then increase it slowly. Really helped to decrease the number of sheer pins you go through.

Murphy's law applied to mine. Two years of very light snowfall since I bought mine.

We have a 465' driveway which is an easement to the property behind us. Our house is only about 250" from the road. Used the biggest Craftsman for about 10 years before the wife got sick of pushing me when I would get stuck (often) One-wheel drive is not a great design for a garden tractor. Got the BX22 w/ 2750 blower and used it happily for one winter, then the lot behind us, empty for 10 years, sold. New owner is a school bus driver and has to be at work about the time we get up, so now I turn on the lights to see if he did a good job plowing Doesn't bother me a bit! I will get up first on weekends and do the whole drive, but the blower should outlast me, given it's current workload. Dave

Got the 2750 three weeks ago. Started installing the subframe today. Other than a 'large hammer', are there any other tip/tricks to getting those pins through the holes? It looks only slightly easier than hitting nothin' but net at the basketball boardwalk game at Seaside Heights.

I find it is a necessity to not have the wedge shaped clamps too snug in order to allow a little give to get the pins in.

 

[NY_Yankees_Fan]

Long screwdriver and a big hammer and a few choice words always works for me.

Like I said here , not the most fun part of the job.

So you are getting ready for snow now??? I am still thinking I will need to cut the grass at least one more time before winter gets here. Anyone hear what winter will be like in the Northeast in 2007/08?

I'm taking delivery of BX 2763 60" plow and accessories this morning, so no snow for us in PA this year.
