Snow Rear Mount Snowthrower on B2320

[Northern 1]

If we keep getting hit with now in NJ like we've been, I'm considering adding a rear mount snow thrower to my B2320. Looking on the Kubota web site, they quote the rear mount unit as part # B2789-51 at approx. $2580 w/ manual shoot rotation. I currently have the BH on my tractor, and assume the snow thrower hangs off the 3PT with no dedicated modificaton. If anyone could share any pictures of their unit, experience operating, and price paid I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Sorry no photos but in my area upstate N.Y. RAD 64" rear snow blowers are $ 2700.00.
I have had both front and rear, front on my BX23 was the bomb, beautiful way to move lots of snow. But very expensive, about $5000.00 to $6000.00 and you lose the use of you fel. Go rear and leave on fel, yes Rear blower goes on three point hitch.

I have that exact snow thrower on my B7610. It works great to clear a 600 ft driveway along with the neighbors drive of about the same length. It will pick up 2" and eat it's way through a 3' drift. I've had the tractor for four years, and just got the snow thrower about a month ago.

Mounting is easy enough. Initial install is putting the pins in the right place if they aren't already there, and cutting the PTO shaft to length. It mounts like any normal 3PT implement, pinning to the lift arms and top link. I'll put up a few pics when I get a chance.

If one already has the FEL the sensible thing to so is go with the rear mount blower mounted on the three point, the rear mount is cheaper and usually of heavier construction does the job at least as well and in many cases better than a front mount.

My Buhler Farm King was $1,600.00 new last fall is built heavy and performs well.

North,

Welcome to the site from a fellow Jersey guy, what exit do u live at?:laughing:

You do not have to buy a rear 3 pt snowblower from Kubota. If you want the front snowblower, then Kubota is the only game in town. Rear 3pt blowers are mfg by many companies. Search this web site for many hours of reading on front and rear snowblowers. Just make sure you also consider a cab with a blower, front or rear, not much fun when the snow comes back at you.

Yankees Fan - I hate to admit it, but I'm a stones throw from Exit 120. Not much land around here, but I've got 2 acres which is just enough room to run this tractor around.

The tractor has a FEL so I plan for a rear mount.

Another Jersey Kubota here, been browsing for rear snowblower as well over the past couple of days. The FEL and RB work great but I am running out of space at this point. I don't know if I want to take a chance on February with how January been.

I know what it's like to get hit in the face with snow. To make way for the tractor I had to part with a Gravely Walk behind w/ snow thrower. I got such a kick throwing snow 20+ feet in the air, over my house.

I get plenty of blowback, but I make sure I am dressed for the occasion. I wear ice fishing gear, but snowmobile or ski apparel would probably work just as well. A balaclava and ski goggles are the key items. I have to admit that the goggles limit peripheral vision which is exacerbated while cranking my head all the way around to see where I'm working behind me. A cab or a front mount snow thrower would be cool, but it's just not in the budget and what I have is still way better than what I used to have. I like the plexiglass idea. I think I might give I a try.

The 60"Buhler/Allied on my was new this fall,so far after 25+ hours it has been completely satisfactory. The design is simple and seems to be very well built. Because I am in Canada 75 miles from the factory my price would not mean much to you.
Due to the 1/2 cab I built an electric chute control.
