Kubota B2650 Lots Of Snow!

Kubota B2650 with B2782 front PTO shaft-driven snow blower moving snow during the near record setting winter of 2016/17 at Sundance Utah USA.
Black exhaust can sometimes be seen when the tractor is under heavy load. We try to avoid pushing it too hard, but sometimes it is done inadvertently for a few seconds.
The snow is strategically placed to avoid other roads and walkways.
Push snowblower is a two-stage self-propelled John Deere.

Now there is some serious snow thank goodness for the Kubota

[@KubotaMonsterBX23S]

Great video. Kubota did awesome.

[@PilotChip]

Thanks! Hoping to make some more videos this winter.

[@williamosborne2487]

That things a beast, these are so fun to watch....I live in Arizona where isnt

[@realemonful]

WOW! I've lived in Canada since 1989 and I have NEVER seen that much snow, EVER!!! I know some states get quite a bit more than Canada and I have been through Salt Lake City during a bad snowfall in Fargo North Dakota but I did not notice Utah being as bad as North Dakota. How exceptional is, this amount of snow, for Utah? Anyone? The reason I watched this is that I signed up for city sidewalk snow removal this year so I'm curious to see any tips and tricks. Thanks for the video!

[@S_man89]

Just needs drift cutters those kabotas are great machines.

[@PilotChip]

Yeah, they might be helpful, we clean under some things as well so I'm afraid they could also get in the way... I may have to look into it though.

[@S_man89]

UtahPilotChip they probably make them retractable

[@AStanton1966]

I feel like a piker, I only got to clear about 3" of snow today with my Kubota B3030 and 60" Meteor rear blower.

[@PilotChip]

Haha I get excited when there's only an inch outside!

[@mainelyelectric]

It must be the high altitude but your tractor exhaust is making the snowblower blacker than mine even though mine does get a little Black but not that much!

[@PilotChip]

Ben Boudreau yeah we’re around 6,800 feet. How about yourself? I’ve since made a slight modification to the exhaust so it shoots out the side more than the front. The snowblower stays much cleaner!

[@mainelyelectric]

UtahPilotChip I’m in Maine at about 200 or so

[@mikezahnow1605]

Thinking about trading my 3 point blower in on a front mount like this for my b2650. Would it be worth it? Any thoughts?

[@PilotChip]

Mike Zahnow not sure. I think I’ve read that the rear PTO puts out slightly more power. That being said the front PTO is adequate and I don’t have a sore neck from looking out the back too much. I can see how it might be nice to have the loader on the front but we do just fine with our setup.

[@davemount2607]

I have the same setup and I can tell you right now the front blower is the way to go. No way I’d break my neck to turn around to snow blow after having this

[@kapptinhook]

How long do you think it would take for 14 km?

[@jophoto934]

Wow. I thought plowing 15” was a lot

[@nocoolname32]

old snow that had probably been through freeze thaw freeze thaw a few times?

Video is a repeat of a previously aired video. Brutal....

[@PilotChip]

Troy Elliott yeah I moved it to my less personal channel.

[@troyelliott9465]

MY APOLOGIES... I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS RIPPING YOU OFF.

[@PilotChip]

Troy Elliott no worries!

[@rprestage]

Are you happy with the tractor and cab?

[@PilotChip]

Yeah the cab has been fantastic. I'm not sure how well it interfaces with a backhoe attachment since we don't have one. My only gripe is that the tractor isn't turbocharged, but the turbocharged models require the restrictive emissions controls which sounds like they come with their own set of issues. That being said, we operate this between 6 and 7,000 feet and it is does pretty well.

[@phantomrecon4952]

Could you have gone faster? Seemed like that snow was pretty dense and not the fluffy stuff that snowblowers eat up. Nice video.

[@PilotChip]

We're at a relatively high altitude and with no turbo the machine doesn't put out as much power as at sea level. I assume if it were at SL we could go a little faster. Don't want to overload it so we take it at different speeds depending on the conditions: depth of snow, weight of snow, etc...

Hallo Chip... ist das ein ZWEITER KZbin Kanal von dir?

[@PilotChip]

suber140 ja er ist! Ich möchte meinen vollen Namen nicht mehr verwenden.

[@Suber140]

Ok ich verstehe. Habt ihr momentan keinen Schnee?

[@PilotChip]

suber140 ja, leider. Wir haben einen schlechten Winter. Nicht genug Schnee :-/
