I have similar equipment - two B7510's matched to a B2781A and B2782B, with a B2781 as a spare. I suspect we have a lot of "regionality" tied to this particular question. Here in the Ottawa Valley we traditionally have had colder winters and blowing snow has never been a problem. Now, with...

Your bigger tractors allow you to pull a bigger, heavier blower and to have more traction. I've seen the smaller (compact, sub-compact) tractors struggle with having sufficient traction to remove the compacted icy ridges.

Inverted blowers generally tend to require a larger tractor per inch of snowblower as opposed to a unit that one pushes into the snow, either front mounted or traditional rear-mounted. If the snow is wet and sticky the tires compact it into two humps of near-ice material that's hard to remove...

As always, your depth and breadth of knowledge in all things Kubota is incredible. Thank you for sharing this information.

I'll share some thoughts garnered from operating my fleet of B-series tractors and the following blowers: B2550 (in my avatar), B2781, B2781A, B2782B. The idea that a snow blower will only move dry snow is, frankly, just plain wrong. I have hundreds of hours of experience and I have plugged...

I've been looking at an F2400 that has a non-functional PTO clutch. That is to say its PTO clutch will not disengage. How big a job is it to get this working again? This would be my first foray into the F-series tractors - I haven't had to dig deep into my B-series tractors as they have been...

I have a pair of Jabra Elite earbuds with active noise reduction. Pretty much useless. Keep in mind that I come at this question from the world of aviation headsets with Active Noise Reduction (ANR). These actually WORK. The Jabra devices knock the outside noise level down a little bit, a...

Is there a way to identify the good ones, and the bad ones? I'm asking because our airport recently purchased a used F3990 and I need to have some idea of how to budget for its maintenance. Thanks, NIW - the information you share here is absolutely invaluable!

OK, in this same vein, what about Country Clipper? I believe they are still family-owned, but then again... (I like their single joystick design that allows one arm free to defend from branches and biting insects, oh, and holding that adult beverage!)

Ahhh now I get it - thanks!

Which shear bolt are you breaking, the one on the impeller or one of the ones on the auger? If you are breaking the bolt on the impeller I would respectfully suggest you may have the wrong shear bolt. Why to I say this? I say it because I have been blowing gravel driveways and sod for years...

I have had a similar circumstance where one of my B-series tractors was fueled with gasoline. I drained the fuel tank, drained the fuel filters, drained everything. I refilled with fresh diesel. Then I cranked the engine and it fired after several seconds of cranking. At first it ran...

Since you have family members with L-series Kubotas of similar size, I'm wondering if you will do a fuel usage comparison between Orange and Red to see how they stack up? I'm very curious. We have three Kubota dealers within an hour's drive and one M-F dealer that's 20 minutes away. We also...

Another idea... rather than going hydraulic, just use an appropriately-rated 12V linear actuator wired hot (through a fuse) to the battery.

I have a pair of B7510's so I keep an eye on this board for topics featuring this model. Now you have me very curious to know where in the tractor this fulcrum shaft is buried! :unsure::)

Amphibians are fun machines. This airframe coupled to an LS1 V8 makes a real performer that will go darned near anywhere. The core airframe is a tank. The cockpit is very spacious. I love how the anchor stores beneath the front seat passenger's feet. There's not much about the airplane that...

Mike - I'm very curious to learn more about your experiences with the Pro-Z. Since I started this thread I have made some adjustments to my fleet. I changed airports and no longer am responsible for mowing so much grass. That means I sold the B2410. At the new airport I keep one of the...

We still haven't heard back from the original poster as to what blower problems he was investigating... Please DO tell.

Please elaborate on the "issues" which you are investigating. I'm most curious to see what these might be, especially since my Kubota blowers have all been pretty terrific machines. I say that with a caveat as I now have a leaking seal on my B2781A. Of course I've had to replace bearings on...

And another one, this time the B2781A. Sorry, it's not the "full frontal" pic you're looking for but I hope it's helpful. I tend to spend all my time behind the blowers rather than standing in front of them!
