I saw this on an older B series snowblower and was wondering if there might be something similar for the later model snowblowers that are presently in production.

I have those drift cutters on my B2782 snowblower.
About $115 from the dealer a few years ago.
Also available for other models.

Thanks. I was thinking that the drift cutters were flat steel parts that bolted to the side of the snowblower and knocked the snow down, but were about 1" wide pieces of steel. I did find another picture today when looking at the http://snowblowerskids.com/ website. Are these what Kubota calls "drift cutters"? While we are having this discussion, does anyone have any opinions on the snowblower shoes as shown in this picture? thanks
up here we call them blower wings.
a common thing.
lots of companies make them and they are somewhat universal fit.
works great on light or fluffy or small snow falls which we get alot of where I am.

Yes,they are Kubota drift cutters!
I actually have seen that tractor,but that's a story for another day!
I would think that the slotted adjustment of those shoes would allow the shoes to adjust themselves over time. The factory Kubota Shoes I have use a series of square holes rolled at a 45 degree angle and use a carraige head bolt. No way they will change height on their own.
Based on the information in this thread, I ordered a set of BX5447 drift cutters and they arrived today. I got the part number from the Kubota online build-a-tractor listing. I now have 2 expensive flat bars that will mount to the BX2822, but it isn't what I was looking for. After doing a lot of searching, I found that they are "drift cutters" B2786 that fit the B2781 or B2782 snowblowers. Without having a picture of what that snowblower looks like I have no idea if it will fit the BX2822. I did check the cost ($159.00) on the Kubota build a tractor website and built a B series tractor with a BX2822 snowblower, and it did allow me to add the drift cutters to the snowblower package. I believe that this means that they are compatible. I would like to confirm this with someone that has one of these snowblowers with side wings. It adds 5" to the width of the snowblower, which will cover my tire tracks

I would think looking up your snowblower at an 'online parts' website, they would show th eparts you mean and they'd have the part numbers and pricing ? I'll assume there's a left and a right part ?

mighty dang expensive for 2 bent pieces of steel !!
I have already looked up the parts, and that isn't the way to purchase an item like this. It would be like buying the snowblower one part at a time. It is sold as a complete kit and I just want to be certain that it will fit before I purchase it. It will make my life a lot easier.

On the skid shoes.....
Kinda big, look almost 'universal' in application. Lots of adjustment, should work well. The whole setup is nice!
The 030 and 040 brackets also come in the kit,at least mine did.
They can be seen in the picture in the opening thread.

I picked up the drift cutters kit about a week ago and finally got around to installing them today since we are"supposed" to have a snow event on Friday. Didn't take much effort, just 2 half inch wrenches to tighten the four bolts. The top corner brackets in the box don't fit my snowblower, and I might rework them if I see a need for them. It gives my snowblower an additional 5 inches of clearing width and being as high as they are, it gives a good visual to see the ends of the snowblower.

I have a set of those on a B2781 snowblower. They worked good. The corner braces that you did not install add a lot of strength. If it was me I would try to find a way to install them or make some of your own to fit. It would not be a good thing to bend the side of that nice new blower if you catch the edge on something while snow blowing.

I have a L4060 with a 74" snowblower. Bought the Kubota drift cutters for it (model L2177). I have ¾" mile driveway and it used to take me three passes to blow it properly. Now with the side wings I can do it in two. Amazing the difference those extra couple of inches on each side make.
