B2782B Snowblower on B2601

[kubotasaurus]

A local auction has some B2782B snowblowers. One of them looks pretty new. I know it isn't snow season anymore (at least not here).

The B2782B is listed as compatible with my B2601. But, does anyone know how likely it is that the subframe (k-connect?) will also fit or whether I'll need to buy a different one? There is a picture below, but I'm sure it's unlikely you can't tell by looking at it. I have no idea what model tractor it came off of. They have a B3030 tractor for sale too, but with several blowers who knows what it was mounted on.

I already have a LP snow pusher, but if I can get a snowblower cheap, why not? (And I am a cheapskate, so I probably won't win the auction lol.)

That set up predates the K Connect system. The blowers are only good for parts as far as I am concerned, since they have a lot of age on them, even if it wasn't used.

I just looked up k-connect. That's a slick 4-point hitch system. It looks like it runs $1k on the Kubota configuration page. I didn't realize the blower was old as that model is still available on the Kubota website as well.

I appreciate your input.

You could talk to your Kubota dealer, however, they might not even know what will interchange. Possibly someone in the service department might, but I would start with sales and then ask if it is ok to ask the service manager. Sometimes you get lucky and the dealership is friendly and helpful and other times, if you aren't buying new, they are not interested in helping you. I know that old BX snowblowers are useable on the newer BX tractors. If you can buy it inexpensively enough then go for it. Possibly one of the people on the forums that work for a Kubota dealer can pull up the installation instructions for you. They should be most helpful.

My 2007 B3030 cab model came with the B2782 blower.
Since then,there has been the B2782A,and the B2l782B.
Search Kubota USA parts by your model number.
I'm sure it could very be possible!
Good Luck!

There is a good chance that it will fit your tractor with the right tractor side attaching brackets. The 2782B blower is one of the blowers that is an option for the B2601. You may have to order the attaching brackets from a dealer. If you can get it cheap, you can afford to get what you need to make it work. I have one on my B2920 and it is a great snowblower.

I appreciate everyone's reply!
I may have to go for it. The current bid on the one in the photo is $55.00. Still 3 days to go though. Prices always go crazy as it's closing. I wish I could see it in person, but inspection time is in the middle of the workday.

The letter after the snowblower number indicates a minor modification to the original blower. A is the first modification and B is the second. You will need pictures and descriptions to know exactly what changed from one to the other.

Nope, too far away and too restrictive of a pickup time.

Actually, I didn't realize there were three of them. The one that includes the picture from the first post sold for $500.

Sadly, events conspired against me. A brake line broke on my truck Tuesday. Pickup of items was limited to during the day Thursday. Since I had no way to pick it up, I didn't bid. I definitely would have bid on the one that sold for $275.
