B7200hst subframe fitment

[Fahmah]

All, I have a b7200 HST with a loader. Do I have the rare opportunity to pick up the correct snowblower with the subframe. Does the loader subframe need to come off in order to install the snowblower subframe? (If so, not gonna happen in winter!)
Also, have a chance at a b8200. Will plow rig off of a b7200 gear mount on the b8200 gear?

It's going to be interesting to hear from the experts !
I can't imagine that you'd HAVE to remove the loader subframe. Really that'd be a HUGE PITA, TWICE a year !!

I would need way more info to give you a good answer on everything.
There were 3 different OEM loaders that could have been installed
There were mutiple different subframes used for the loaders.
What blower and mount are you getting for it?

Most implements (or more specifically subframes) will not cross over from the b7200's to the B8200's.
There is a difference in the B7200HST to B7200D subframes and same with the B8200's
There may be some cross over on a case by case base.

Thanks for the comeback… The blower is a 2551 with a subframe/driveshaft apparently for a mid PTO tractor. (HST) The loader on my tractor is a B1640.
The B8200 is a gear tractor, I had wondered if the 2020 plow/subframe would fit on the B8200…
These are rugged little tractors, but I grew up Ford. I’m amazed that there are so many different designs of tractors and implements. Is there a comprehensive text collating all of the Kubota figments?

During this time frame there was a lot of growth and development and crossover with the Kubotas in the US and not a lot of consistency, that changed shortly after this era.
They became more consistent, but there are always variations.

There is no one place to get info, its spread all over the place.
NOTE: When stating parts always use the letter in front too, as there can be a B2551 and an L2551 in the same assembly run and they will not cross.

For some reason they only list the B2020 as working on the B8200HST but sometimes it's just the way they were sold or marketed for the HST's.
I do know that if the b8200 has a loader it must have the subframe with the b2034A subframe for it to work. As the B2034 is missing part of the mount.

Ok that blower should be able to mount with the loader subframe still installed.
The one note is that your blower comes with this these parts and if there is a clear path to the mid PTO with the loader frame installed.
