Will a B2781 snowblower fit a B2100 tractor?

[fivespeedv8]

I have been web surfing for this info on and off for a couple weeks and I think the answer is gonna be "not without custom mods." I called a dealer and they didn't "...know for sure."

Some of the info I found seems to indicate that some other front mount implements for a B2100 use the same mounting /subframe kits as those on other B series tractors, so it seems logical that a snowblower mounting kit would interchange between a B2100 and other tractors. Yet all official docs I found show either NO snowblower application/mount for the B2100, or no CURRENT snowblower application (the older B2650 would work but appears to no longer be made).

I am hoping someone knows for sure...like maybe a B2781 blower with a B7800 mount or B2910 or 2410 mount, etc. would work on a B2100.

In the end it would be nice to know more for other front and rear mount/subframe kits - such as "the B2100 frame is the same as these other B series tractors, so the mounts will interchange...."

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Lou

If nothing else, a 2100 may be underpowered? The above refers to 27+HP tractors.

Thanks - a dealer researched and told me yesterday that there is no factory mounting kit listed to match this 50" blower to the B2100, but that the size and power demands should not be all that different than the 50" that used to available for the B2100. So I imagine it would be a matter of custom fabrication or modification of the B2910's mount that comes with the blower, which sounds expensive.

If you look at the picture of my tractor with the B2782 and undercarriage you can see that that my B3030 doesn't have the control arms in the front that the B2100 has. All of the black metal behind the blower is the undercarriage . The B2100 control rods would be in the way:

Thanks for posting the pic. It helps...I think. Is the B2910 set up the same way as your tractor? That is what this blower came from/ I was thinking the B2910 had a front configuration that was similar to the B2100
