The only front mount for that tractor is the Kubota 2750D that cost about $3400 new with the quick hitch and all. I just got one this year and i must say its very nice. It'll move a mountain of snow in a hurry if you can get over the sticker shock. I had no issues with the 20" storm of 2 weeks ago, handled it all in one pass. I have a cab as well so I can blow snow in heated comfort.

I totally agree. I have the front mount on my 2620 and it is great! Wish I had a cab as it gets cold and kind of wet when the wind is blowing. As mentioned before, I switch between the blower and the blade depending on ground condition and amount of snow.

or do i have to stick with Kubota?

I have read that the New Holland 50CS and the Massey Ferguson 2360 snow blowers are identical to the BX2750D except for color. They are all made by the Canadian company RAD. I have seen photos of all and they look identical, but I would want to know the mid PTO speed of all the tractors before taking an off brand leap.

rbarker does it seem tippy with youre cab on???? mine is very tippy,so have to watch what i'm doing,i have a blade on the back,and a f.e.l.so thought a front mounted blower would take care of the problem "tippy" thanks

there is a blower on ebay it's a bx2750d guy says it's off a b7610hsp or d number on the subframe is B2733a will this fit my bx2660???? or will i need brackets of some sort?

I have a bx 2660 with the 2750 and quick hitch it is very easy to put on and take off. It runs very well. I would suggest if you are looking go with the hydraulic chute rotation and also a cab of some sort. The hard ones are very expensive but you can get good results with a soft side (I have the soft side hard top) version. You don't get the snow spray and don't spend crazy money. Check ebay and craigslist and your local swap sheet you may find a deal out there. I would highly recommend it don't know where you live or how much snow you get but I live in the snow belt (lake effect) area and it is the only way to go.

yes i have a cab,that's what makes it tippy, with the f.e.l. so thought of going with a blower,so i don't put it on it's side at some point

You'll need a different quick hitch and mid PTO kit for your BX. Comes to about $1200 give or take for both.

I don't think the blower will make anything feel less tippy. I too always run with a back blade and before this year I used the fel when the snow got too deep for the back blade. I know what you are saying about tippy but I've never had a tractor without a cab so I'm used to it. In 11 plus years with my current BX25 and my previous BX2200 I never rolled it but I do have areas where I go very cautiously. I also bought a tilt meter and try to keep it to 15 degrees or less.
