Dealers said this wouldn’t work.

I was looking for a front mount blower for my B2650 other than what Kubota has listed, the 2782.

I had a loaner for a winter and wasn’t impressed with the build and performance vs my LP pto SB1064.
I looked over the LX series blowers as they are built much heavier like the Land Pride.

The only issue was finding a dealer to sell me one after I told them what it was getting installed on. 3 dealers all said the LX series would not mount up.


After finding a dealer that sold me a unit in the crate, I mounted up the 2940 sub frame and 2941 driveline kit with the LX2980 blower with ease. No modifications needed. The B and LX have the same frame. well it’s the same tractor.

I also had 2 hoses made up and picked up a hydraulic cylinder from Dalton Hydraulics for my third valve for a chute deflector. The Kubota deflector kit with diverter valve was around $1200 Vs $250 ish for my set up.

Sometimes it hard to find a dealer that thinks outside the factory build sheets.

I would take the dealer's name off the front of the tractor and put the dealer's name on the snow blower who sold it to you. I would also send a picture of the snowblower to the selling dealer and just say "You were wrong, and you lost a sale because of your stubbornness".

agree get RID of the dealer advertising !!! Unless they're PAYING you EVERY month !!
When I bought my one and only brand new ride( '77 Landcruiser ) , while still on the lot, I removed the dealer license plate 'wrapper',handed it back to salesguy. he had a stunned look on his ace. Told him,it 'pays to advertise' so you'll have to pay me to advertise for you.
