Still Looking

Looking for a Front mount PTO Debris / Leaf Blower: Prefer w/ Hydro chute control Kubota f2535d New Holland 708D RAD Technology 8138 (They are all the same) PM me

PM Me w/ price and location

This one (vertical mount) is the config. the factory uses - direct gear driven. Difference is (on the 5455 as shown in 1st pic) it's mounted on the left side of the chute. And it has a cover to keep it clear of snow & ice buildup. I see different advantages to both. A horizontal mount requires...

Thanks Farmallguy - will have to research the Clarence Impeller kit - haven't heard of it - not surprising as I've never owned a snowblower 'till last week. I do know that extra 5" of width and the standard hydro chute rotation pushes up the price of the 5455 considerably. I payed $1900 + tax...

Still snowing - maybe 5" here -still, had to go out just before dark for a test run. Blower works great. Prob. not significantly better than what I've seen a 2750 do - still impressive- it scrapes down clean. This snow s*cks tho - really wet & heavy. The BBQ fork in the chute was 1st to go...

OK so it seems it's a 'Known problem' that Kubota (RAD) is working on.

I just uncrated and assembled my new BX5450 - manual crank chute control. With everything torqued properly, the chute sits a bit sloppy - can rock it 1/4 in any direction. And so not surprisingly, the worm assembly binds when trying to turn the chute (crank it) one way or the other. I checked...
