Would this Snowblower Work for me?

[Timberwulf]

I was wondering if anyone knows whether my Kubota B1550 HST would run this snowblower? Or is it to big, I can run a 60" tiller no problem.

I don't believe that a B series has enough horse power to turn a 6 foot snow blower, or even lift one up off the front end.

If you can run a 60" tiller then you probably have enough power available. The question is the weight. I have a 54" blower on my B7500 and it's heavy but manageable. If you have a loader you might be OK but without one I think it would be too heavy.

I guess they teach math a bit differently out east,

I thought a foot was 12 inches rather than the 10 inch foot you used to come up with 6 feet lol.

You must be a fisherman.

What the hell are yall talking about?

Did any of yall bother clicking on the ad like I did and see where its being advertised as a 6ft blower??? I'm just going by whats being stated on the information on the ad...

My mistake sorry! I read the 60 inch tiller and thought he was talking about the same in a blower. After clicking on the add I see it is a 6 footer.

Yep I think it would be too much for his tractor.

Its all good brother! I'm trying to figure out what the blower came off of. I doesnt really look tractor mount front or rear. The seller is claiming its a rear mount but states you have to make your own 3pt. Something dont smell right. Regardless its way to big for a B1550 to handle.

Thanks alot for the information. I was thinking it would be a bit to big but was unsure. I do have a front end loader on my tractor but it is not the strongest for lifting.

Have any of you ever converted a belt drive blower to a pto drive? If so what would the cost likely be? I see alot of smaller belt drive blowers for sale and am always tempted but don't know the costs of a conversion.

I found another blower that is more the size for my tractor but I have never heard of an electric pto, would this work if I removed my bucket and mounted on the loader arms?

Thanks again for the help!

That blower looks like its designed for the front of a garden tractor, which would explain the need for an electric pto.
