Kubota bx23
Are there any 3rd party front mount snowblowers out there that would fit a bx23? Local dealers have quoted $2500-2800 for new kubota blowers. A bit high for my budget.

They have a rear mount Puma for 1600-1800 but I hate driving backwards.

Any advice appreciated

This has been discussed before and Nope u are out of luck, Kubota is the only game in town for a front snowblower. For a rear 3 pt many options/mfg.

AND do not forget to add $$ for the cab, because the 1st time you blow snow into the wind u will want one!

I am in the same boat, but what I ultimately decided was to put a 3-point blower on the back and a blade on the front. For me it was the best of both worlds.

Driving backwards is a pain the butt, but depending on what part of the country you live in and how much snow you get, it might not be that bad.

Like you, almost $3K seemed pretty salty to me especially when I was able to find a used 3-point blower for a couple a hundred bucks.

DOC,
There are alot of PUMA dealers in our area.OSGOODS,HAMMOND TRACTOR,KRAMERS are just a few.I was quoted 1550 last fall for a 54 inch unit ,but we have snow now:) Also watch UNCLE HENRYS.Ijust missed out on a like new METEOR for 600 in central MAINE.I checked out the PUMAS at HAMMOND TRACTOR.They are a rugged unit.
Afront unit would be the way to go if you think you can go without your loader.Not easy or quick to switch back and forth.
Isent you a PM
