I own a B2650 cab with fel

I want to get a front snowblower (B2782B i believe) and subframe

i found a used one near by butit is a B2782 straight up no A or B and the sub frame is from a B2910

an chance this will fit my 2650? I injured my back in the Army and using the rear blower is very painful and sometimes impossible for me now.

I am sure. If I can find one I can afford. And with 2782s 2782As and 2782Bs and no clear info on what the differences are, who know what will fit.

The snowblower is not the issue. They all attach the same way, with what I'll call a duckbill connection.

The quick hitch and drivetrain is where a difference may exist.


If you want to see what the difference is between the quick hitch and drivetrain of the model you referenced components called out for your tractor, one can reference the part drawings on Kubota.com and compare. It's a bit time consuming to do so, but you may find only a part or two is needed to make it work.

Many times the difference is with the driveshaft that connects the mid-PTO to the subframe (quick hitch). They are likely still available.

Added in Edit:

found this in the wholegoods document. You're encouraged to confirm its accuracy as these documents can changed.

(B2630, B3030, B2710, B2910, B7800, B3200, B3000) - Requires Quick Hitch B2791A, Mid-PTO Driveline Kit B2792 (ROPS) or B2793 (CAB) & Choose Appropriate Loader Valve or Kit

(B2650HSD, B2650HSDC, B3350HSD, B3350HSDC) - Requires Quick Hitch B2714B & Mid-PTO Driveline B2793 (CAB) or B2747(ROPS)

I will look into that approach. But if that is the fact, why three seperate models of same or vary siniliar blowers.

Because they improved the snow blowers design through the time, they note changes in suffix.

Most likely in the drives for the blower and auger, a lot of the original designs has issues.

Would love to see them together to see the progression. I read in an old post that they rotated opposite directions of each other. The A and B models I believe is what they were discussing. Got an original 2782 and subframe from B2910 for 2k but not sure if I want the risk

Differences: Look at the Bill of materials and drawing for the three models in Kubota's Illustrated Parts website. You'll be able to ID the differences by looking at the P/N's.

Rotation: Some of these blowers were also used in the rear and rotated in a different direction.

Price: $2,000 sounds like a fair price if in good condition. Price out a new one or try to another one within driving range. Also be aware that hydraulic rotation and remote chute deflection add significant $'s to the new price.
