RB 1560 or RB 1572 for Snow Removal in Northern Michigan

Engine Mike · Sep 8, 2014

Does anybody have any advice if the RB 1560 or the RB 1572 will do a better job removing snow on my B2320 Kubota? Dealer suggests RB 1560 but thought I would reach out to all the experts out there.

The 60" is a good match for your tractor,and would cover your tire tracks nicely.
A 72"would be a little much for your usage. Let it snow!
Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply. I am only there on the weekends and wondering if the back blade will remove the snow OK after a week or two. Any advice on that?

I agree with the above recommendations. Here's a shot of my B3030 with a 72" RB during a winter when we got clobbered with snow. In fact, I ran out of room to plow/stack it. I had to go out and get a rear blower. Needless to say, it stopped snowing that year after I bought the blower.

If you compare the construction and features of our ETA Deluxe Value Scrape Blades to the LP 15/16 Series, I think you'll find that ours provides a much better value!

60" for sure -- the 2320 is too small for a 72".

Mike-a lot of snow can happen in a week or two while you're gone.
Your pickup might not even make it into the drive.
That snow settles as well,getting heavier all the time.
You will eventually not be able to handle it with the balde and loader.
Face it,Grayling north,you'll own a blower eventually.
Surrender now and forever thank yourself for your wisdom!
Good Luck!

Seconds to number two! I used to use a back blade and the loader to clear snow at our Northern Michigan cottage. I finally picked up a used 3 point blower and wow what a difference. So much faster in heavier snow and a cleaner job.
