Rear versus Front mounted snowblower

Check,
Get Pat's easy change http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/31818-pats-easy-change-system-order.html & life gets good :thumbsup: I found a 8751 on Cl for $900. This was intended for the B series but it will work on my BX22. It came with the quick hitch subframe. Unfortunately it wouldn't fit the BX22, so I took the gearing off that REDUCED the speed of the Auger & Impeller from the input speed of 2400 to 540 RPM & PHD'd it right before last years "DC Snowmageddon" 50" of snow on 12 driveways & 2500ft of road, backwards. :confused2: 10 hrs later I was done & the neighborhood hero. I was unsure the My BX could handle it BC Kubota said it couldn't be done. I can't wait for this winter. My only gripe is that my face got cold. I didn't have time this summer to make/buy a cab, maybe next year. Something you might want to do is upgrade your alternator & install rear facing lights. I just got the alternator kit, but haven't had the time to install it yet, Soon, real soon.

T-Man.

Trafficman, Pat's system seems to be for a rear-mount, not a front-mount. My blower is already on the rear, and people were asking how it can go on the front.

Check,
My bad :ashamed:, If you weren't so far away you could come get the quick hitch sub frame I got with mine. It won't fit a BX22, but I believe it will it should fit the BX24 & 25, and some of the B series IIRC. I'll get the numbers off of it tonight & post tomorrow. It's nothing but scrap to me since it won't fit, too long, holes in the wrong place, mounting brackets in the wrong place, etc. I even got pallet I'll put it on just get t out of my way.

T-Man.

FWIW

you can buy one of the stihl hard hats with the ear muffs and brush guard screens that flip up to block the snow , and you can purchase hard hat liners to put inside the hard hat to keep your head warm.

hope this helps you

So did anyone ever mount the b2789 on the front? I'm looking at getting one now for the rear and knowing it cam go on the front will make my decision that much easier! Pics would be great if you have them, o and part numbers, did someone say it was only available in the US?
