By the looks of some other threads, get yourself some shear bolts, just in case. It should come with a set of 3 (2 soft (silver) ones for the auger, and 1 harder (gold) for the fan). I've used mine ~1 hour on a stone driveway, lawn, etc., without an issue, but some guys are going through...

Good for you! It does suck they don't shafts. That's a time you want to "get the shaft!" Here in Upstate NY they are talking 3-10", depending on where you are. But at least we are not the snowbelt downwind of Lake Ontario. They've gotten 3 or 4 feet the last couple days. We just had a...

I did check clearance of the fan to housing - 1/4" My driveway is stone. I've skinned up the paint inside the housing just a little already, but that happens. Used the 47" JD snowblower for 12 or 13 years. The old unit had hydraulic chute rotation, but this one is manual. Miss that already...

Don't know the clearance of the fan to the housing. But, I have used it twice so far in 3" of real heavy wet snow - no problems at all. I liked the shoes on the JD unit much better than the Kubota blower.

Thanks - I will keep that in mind! Good deal and great size for small operation like mine. Just 70 days 'til taps go out!! Sap hauler will be orange next season!!

I know Unionman asked the question, but man, did I learn a lot. An hour ago I was looking at a Hobart Handler at TSC. I haven't welded since my family's dairy farm days, many years ago - typical Lincoln arc machine. I've had a few fab ideas for my BX, but what I've REALLY been stewing on is a...

I just bought a 2750D with my BX2360 this spring. I haven't used it yet, but its on the tractor now. I had a JD 425 garden tractor for years. Had a 47in 2-stage blower, blade, etc. I really like the JD blower and set up better, but again, haven't used this one yet. I wanted the blower since...

Nice!! Will serve you well. I'm thinking I can put LED on later, and the way my brackets are, I can add 1 more forward and back if needed.

Hokie - What is the mount for the lights? Looks real clean and compact, with a place to run wire. The difference is I'm NOT hoping for snow! I'm OK if we just skip it, but where we are, its bound to happen. We aren't near the "snow belt" east of Lake Ontario, but sometimes lake effect...

Hokie - thanks - got them from my local hardware store while back. Pretty heavy 2-link, fit great. I saw your lights, and really like the outcome! Nice job!

Dayum!!!!! Being in upstate New York, I wish the Mrs. would say "You'll get cold running the tractor with the snowblower." Hasn't happened so far.......... A little Green won't hurt (and it should fit).

Guys - Figured out a way to shed some water off the top of the switch. Won't be water tight, but its 12v. Its a rubber adapter for a dishwasher fitting ($2 at Lowes). Used the pipe clamps for something else, and had to slit both connections so they fit. All tied with zip-ties, just...

I like it! After all, you're looking for light for the winter, right? You'll get more light than I will, no doubt. I put mine on over the last couple weeks - there's a thread for it. Mine are not rocket science, either. All in, I had $70 in my project with 2 halogens. Your cost is great with...

LSMurphy - I wasn't trying to be a smart alec - that is pretty cool and 10kw besides. Had me thinkin', should I come across a gen unit.....

Good for you. Go for it - its looks pretty cool. When you do build it, please share so that we all may learn.

Good theory; I thought the same. Better have two tractors. The number of times we have had power lines down due to heavy spring/fall snows are countless. Need the tractor to move snow. We flooded in 2011 and lost power 2 days - used tractor to put driveway back together. Can't do 2 things at...

Skeets - Got 'er done. Might want to think something similar for your 2360. I really like the position - but haven't tried in the dark yet. I don't think the lights will interfere with vision. Lights are 55w halogens. $14 each at my local hardware store. If you can see them, there are two...

Skeets - finding the steel in the road was a great find. I looked around my place one morning looking for something to make a bracket out of. Had to break down and spend $10 for a 4 foot piece of 1 1/4" angle. Now I have almost 3 feet left over. I had an old can of Kubota Orange paint in the...

Skeets - With a 60 Series, I fill the WHOLE ROPS. That's why I put them outside the ROPS. But I know sometimes I break stuff. I'm leaning toward the old style sealed beams for my work lights. For $20, they are replaced. Replacement sealed beam bulbs are now about $15 at the store, but at...

Switch is set ($8 at NAPA), but need something to make the top end shed water. Just zip ties to fasten - figure it better if it breaks away than break altogether. The "switch box" is just a PVC 1/2" conduit fitting with rubber gasket cover. $2.83 at Lowes. The lights are 12V, so not too...
