Well , i don't have the tractor here, but i am picking it up soon.

The Person Lifted the shroud, which is attached to the front of the tractor.
Underneth the shroud is a set of chains and gears on one side (closest to front of tractor), in between there is a small electric motor, and on the front side a rubber belt that connects the motor to the chain drive system. All this is covered by a sqaurish steel cover.

The PTO hooks up below this whole rig?? i don't see any actual power from the engine to turn this kubota blower...

Am i missing something??? LOL

Thanks

the electric motor might just be used to turn the top of the snowblower as to which way you want the snow to blow.

No, If you look at My Tractor pic at Top, its a Manual Turned Chute.

I saw it working..... and its a Kubota Snowblower, i can't have The "Only One of Its Kind"

From what i was told the electric motors RPM's , Increase in Proportion to the Engine RPM.

I Looked everywhere, and there is no Mechanical Engine Link to the Blower.

I Found it Curious, So I came here for more Information on this Kubota Set Up.

Its on a 1989 B8200 4x4.

Thanks Bubba

I wonder if it is a power chute option, but also has the manual crank?

Maybe a electric lift that attaches to the tractor by cable?

Could be a power angle.

What/Where do the chains hook up to?

Without seeing it, those are my best guesses.:confused:

Basically the Mechanics of it, goes Electric Motor, To Rubber Drive Belt, To Chain Gear System, To PTO Output, Then to the Snow Blower.

HAS ANYONE ESLE EVER SEEN A KUBOTA SNOW BLOWER LIKE THIS ???

Thanks Bubba

I Will be sure and Post a Pic when i pick up the tractor.

I Didn't know it was not a Normal Setup for 1989 Front Kubota Blower of 72"

That Electric Motor has to have some Torque in it, thats for sure.
(After the Motor Transfers Energy to the Rubber Drive Belt, a shaft connects to a series of chain driven sprockets, which i presume lower the speed and create torque, and the end of the last chain setup, power is sent to the snowblower via a reagular looking PTO hook up. The Rubber Drive Belt and Chains are on either side of this Drive unit, with the electric motor sandwiched in the middle, They are seperate so chain oil cannot get onto the Rubber Drive Belts.)

If Anyone Has or Has seen a Set Up looking like the Tractor above Please Post.

I Guess i am having a Hard Time Believing what i saw ... LOL

Cuz .. i thought for sure myself it was engine powered PTO, until the guy lifted the Shroud in Front and Showed me the Electric Motor, and its not that Big a Motor either.

I am a NewBee, So i was Hoping Service Dept. Vic has seen or heard of this setup.

Aparently it Works Really Good too....

I was also wondering if Kubota Once made a 72" Front Blower this way, Why did they Stop? Pehaps it was the Only way at that time (1989) to Get a 72: Front Blower attatched?

Thanks for Reading , Bubba
