Mounting snow plow on GR2100

[mpt1123]

Hello:
I'd like to order a snow plow for my GR2100 and I'm sure the dealer will offer to install it - for a fee. Does the plow come with installation instructions? If I can get installation instructions, I can figure it out myself. Anyone have any experience with installing snow plows on the smaller Kubota tractors?
Thanks,
Mike

My G1800 uses a quick hitch subframe to attach a snowplow to the tractor. The subframe requires the mmm be removed. The G1800 hydraulics attach to the subframe when installed to allow the snowplow blade to be raised and lowered using the mmm control. I'm not sure how your tractor attaches to the blade but I would imagine something similar, very heavy duty! (for a small tractor)

Thanks for the reply. Did you mount the plow yourself? Were instructions included in the packaging?
Thanks,

Mike they aren't that hard to mount for some but for some with lack of tools and trying to over look the directions it can be tough.

Not all directions are for a novice but with a little thought they normally will get the job done.

My dealer did the initial installation of the kubota quick hitch. I'm glad they did because one of the connections is a large metal clamp that attaches high under the tractor just ahead of the rear axle which would be a terror to assemble, bolt and torque from below, due to the limited gound clearance. Some TBNers mention driving the tractor on ramps, thereby increasing ground clearance and making access easier. I'm squeamish about being crushed, so I didn't regret them doing the work. If you enjoy working in awkward tight spots I'm sure you'll be fine. The Kubota subframe and plow blade each came with insructions. I use chains on the rear drive wheels and can easily push 3 feet of heavy wet Canadian snow. The annual attachment of the subframe and plow blade is easier than taking the mmm on and off.
