B2650/B3350 with front blowers

[chad450r]

My 2650 with front mount blower, had started to blow black smoke. The way Kubota makes the air intake just above the radiator it sucks all the powdery snow into the filter. Frozen and plugged right up. Been removing filter ever time I'm done dry it out overnight, now to figure out a fix...

Anyone else having this issue?

I've got a B3030 and have no problems at all, and this should be a thankful
reminds you have the B2650 and not the tier 4 B3350. If I spent $30k give or take Kubota would be supplying me with a tractor that works while they
were "kindly storing" my brand new tractor that doesn't run.

A close friend long time mechanic just bought a new B2650 a tad under powered possibly but he sure has dodged a bullet compared to tier 4 and
he uses it daily without having to call the dealer to haul it in and out of storage.
