attaching mid-PTO to L4310

[vermontredrooster]

The Kubota L4310 does not have a factory installed mid-PTO, but it has been suggested by others who have Kubotas that I could install one. Is this correct and if it is, then what must I order to have a complete set-up for a snowblower attachment. I want to purchase a front mounted snowblower and I rather not have a sub-frame and axle going all the way to the rear PTO. Thanks,

I'm not seeing a front mounted snow blower listed as an option on that model.
It's possible there is one, call a dealer and find out if they offer one.

Thanks. It doesn't have a factory mid-pto but there was a adaption kit that I am told is no longer available from the manufacturer. I was wondering if I could find something in the after-market.

Your only other option would be a unit like this:

the l4310 has no option for a mid pto. erskine makes a good front mount snowblower that runs off the rear pto, thats what i have also.

Could you take something like that big pig; remove it's engine, and replace it with a hydraulic motor run off the tractors Hydraulics?

More than likely, the tractor wouldn't have enough GPM to run an orbit motor. That's one thing Kubota's seem to lack in, hydraulics.

Yea sadly the stock hydraulic pump on the tractor just won't do it, Now you could do it with a PTO powered pump.
