Hello All,

I am hoping I can get some feedback and guidance here as I just purchased a 2023 Kubota GR2120 with 54" deck and front snowblower. I still have to wait about two weeks until I receive everything but am wondering:

How high off the ground in Inches does the front snowblower raise on this gr2120? Is it 6 or 7 inches or greater - measuring from the ground to the lowest point on the slowblower?

The reason I ask is because I'd like to know if this unit with snowblower attached will make it up my short but steep gravel hill at my home that goes down to my shop? My house is a walk out bungalow and I build a driveway and shop about 7 yrs ago. I don't know what degree slope/steepness (anyone know how to measure exactly?) The gravel hill/driveway is, but it is about 20 feet long give or take with a moderate steep slope
My car and truck go up and down just fine but it is on the steep side.

If taking pictures of this driveway part would benefit, please let me know - although pictures may just make it.more confusing as it may lead a decision astray because it may be hard to tell from pictures?

Or if I can somehow calculate the grade.of hill percentage/steepness?

I really hope the snowblower is able to lift high enough...?

Please advise. Thanks so much

Justin
