    B2782B Snowblower Purchased - Adjustment Plates?

    What I do is look for any play between the shaft and the pto input and the small reduction gear. I push a small screwdriver through a small opening that the small gear and chain can be seen through, and hold the sprocket/chain still while twisting back and forth the intput PTO u-joint and...

    B2782B Snowblower Purchased - Adjustment Plates?

    I have the same blower that's run 8 winters now, and a couple of things to watch for: - the PTO input shaft #040 in BAP's diagram supports a series of mechanical connections that get hammered running at 2500rpm driving the reduction chain. ALL the setscrews on mine needed tightening, and the...

    Help Me Pick Out A Model... 3.5 acres 400' driveway

    You're working less area than me, and my B2650HSD (LX2610 equiv) has performed great so far in 8 years of (ab)use here. 1300 hours, about 200 hours per year. I use it all over our 119 acres, mainly forested. Get a 3-point rotary mower for the tractor, and a separate smaller riding mower for yard...

    B2782B on B2650 w/ backhoe subframe will it fit ?

    My B2650HSD with B2782B blower, and B2714C quick hitch, subframe, and drivelines. I have to fish that blower out of the shed crowded with firewood by tomorrow afternoon.

    B2782B on B2650 w/ backhoe subframe will it fit ?

    *sigh* ok I'll go snap a few photos of the un-attached blower and subframe in the hoop shed. I give up trying to ID them online, and all the manuals are out there too. Will be settled shortly.

    B2782B on B2650 w/ backhoe subframe will it fit ?

    Yes. You're describing my rig. That's a B2650HSD with BH77 backhoe, and the B2782B blower. Both subframes co-exist on my tractor. I run the blower with backhoe mounted sometimes.

    Snowblower

    This is saying the BX25D engine "rated" operating RPM is 3200RPM, and with engine at 3200RPM the front PTO spins at 2500RPM. My front PTO sins at 2500RPM too, but at 2500RPM engine.

    What's the BX25D recommended operating RPM?

    Snowblower

    I'll run at my tractor's "operating" RPM while snow blowing, which is 2500RPM. That is NOT "pedal to the metal". I get another 200-300rpm if I "peg" the throttle. But if Kubota says 2500 RPM is best power/torque/efficiency RPM, that's there I shoot for.

    Your Battery Maintainer/Charger choice?

    No battery tender/charger yet here on my 2017 B2650HSD. Original battery, still starts her up cold no block heater at -20C, with 10-15 seconds glow. Just saying...

    At what temperature do you plug in your block heater?

    Or like: "Hey AI Cloud Dude! Two hours before I'm scheduled to get home check my live home weather conditions and energize vehicle block heaters if moderate snow detected."
