Loader Mounted 2782B Snowblower

Hi all,
This is my loader mounted snowblower that I built 3 years ago and still run strong

How are you powering the unit?

I do believe he's running it off the mid PTO.

Impressive!

I'm running it on mid PTO as the OEM

 

[Kubotank]

I built a custom subframe and raised the mid shaft closer to the front axle, it give more clearance when I use the bucket and also raise the fix shaft so it's not visible from the side anymore

Drive shaft driven like OEM

Impressive engineering.

Very slick set up to allow swapping between loader bucket and front blower. How do you limit the loader arms when using the blower so you don't lift too high and cause an issue with pto shaft to the blower?

I use stopper chains to stop the lift at 20''

It can be seen in action and the fabrication by doing a search for

Kubota Compact b2650 loader mount B2782 snowblower
and
Kubota, Compact, B2650, loader mount snowblower part 2
on Google

Yes, that was the main purpose of the mod and also to be able to blow off snow drift of almost 4' high, which is impossible with the OEM setup without having the snow going over the blower, the OEM lifting height is only 6'' and almost useless at that height because it's leaning backward so bad.

Very nice mod.

Seems well thought out.

This seems so much better than the Kubota factory solution. I went with a 3PH blower because I didn't want to have to R&R the loader so much. Nice work!

R&R within minutes

R&R within minutes

...provided you have enough flat ground to park it on, which I don't.

I meant the snowblower, it can be removed to install the bucket within minutes

Oh, yes - that's why this is brilliant! blow first, then 60 seconds to swap out the blower for bucket or blade to do final cleanup. I want it.

Does the frame stay on all the time? Did you use existing hole in the frame or did you have to drill new holes.
This is exactly the type of setup I am looking for. Being able to leave the loader frame on and use the front mount snow blower.
