Kubota LX2610 and Titan SP200 Plowing Snow

[@donaldstrishock3923]

My little "Wheelhorse-power" 48" dozer blade 27 year old unit would of taken another 35seconds to do that "Big-Job" ; all with a WHOLE Lot LESS hydro-slack-o-matic Whine. Just "mostly-kidding"!!! That is " One Deluxe" Snow-dozing Machine. You are probably waiting for the "Big-One" to fall. A good set of "chain-drives" on ALL 4 wheels will put that unit in another class. It is so nice to have a new tractor with a "snazzy-power angle snow-dozer". Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours. Just make sure you read & throughly understand the Operator's Manuals; it is Paramount for years of safe & relable service.

Thank you Donald! Have a happy New Year!

That tractor sure is coming in handy today.

Nothing wrong using leaf blower on Walk way n stairs I've been doing that for years work's just fine.thanks Glenn from Massachusetts

[@sweatequitylife]

Thanks for watching Glenn! Agreed, works great!

Beautiful property

[@sweatequitylife]

Thanks!

[@bluethunder1951]

Nice job! Sure beats hiring someone hey, can you get a snowblower attachment, as the long driveway will eventually get to narrow and the wind rows will need to be push off. My driveway is half mile long and I used to do it like you with a six way angle bee blade, but now I have a snowblower attachment it makes it so much easier to maintain.

[@sweatequitylife]

Thanks for watching! I had a snowblower on my first tractor and it sure was nice, but honestly, we don't get enough snow anymore in central PA to justify the cost of one. I would maybe consider one again if I could get a loader mounted blower. I don't have the space to store the FEL and don't like changing back and forth either. We will be in the 50s this weekend and everything from last storm will be gone.

JOY - would have been filming yourself building an EPIC SNOW MOUNTAIN for the kids for sledding. Missed opportunity?

I have a B3350, which as many know is the model that the LX replaced. I do love the tractor, but hate the emissions regeneration system. Not at all a problem in the summer, but winter?…..a pain in the butt. I’d love to own the LX, but for now the price increase is a major road block. I’m certain that you’ll get many good years out of your tractor.

[@johnconway8492]

I did it. Traded in my L3901 for a LX2610SU. Same backhoe. A little less lifting capacity at the bucket. But no more emissions and regens. I’m VERY happy ! I didn’t need the bigger tractor for what I do which is mostly bucket and backhoe. I never use the pro. So it works for me. Unfortunately for folks that need the power at the pto , they need the extra horses and have to surrender to regen hell .

[@LarryG-g9n]

Thanks for sharing. Do you use “float” when plowing snow?

[@sweatequitylife]

Thanks Larry…I always use float when plowing snow. I personally don’t use rear ballast and found that it makes steering easier. Rear tires are loaded though.

[@LarryG-g9n]

@@sweatequitylife Thank you for the quick reply. I have the LX2610 and have used the BH77 backhoe as ballast. LA535 loader with B2673 plow. For me, float wasn’t working well as the blade was causing too much friction and was impossible to steer without taking out of float and manually working blade. I’ll try loading tires and removing backhoe. Pros/Cons to loading tires? What is your “loading” suggestion? Does your plow leave scrape marks in your drive that eventually wash away with rain?

[@sweatequitylife]

@@LarryG-g9n The BH is adding roughly over 1,000 pounds of rear ballast and when blade is on the ground, especially in float, there is no front ballast, weight of FEL is supported by the ground. Your tractor is back heavy and the friction of the blade causing the FEL to "dig in" lifting front tires. Loading tires does not add rear ballast for when you are doing "lifting" FEL work, but it does add weight and stability on the rear tires. The tractor's center of gravity is lowered and weighs more providing more traction. This is helpful because the compact tractors will lose traction before power. I had the dealer add Rim Guard when I purchased tractor. No scrape marks for me. I have a UHMW cutting blade that just glides across the pavement or concrete smoothly.

[@LarryG-g9n]

@@sweatequitylife Thanks much! I appreciate the quick advice and will follow your suggestions before the snow falls next winter

[@BigGuyLittleTractor]

How do you like the plow?

[@sweatequitylife]

I really like it. No problems. For what I paid a few years back, this plow was a fraction of the cost of similar smaller plows. It has a center pin that allows it to follow the contour of the ground also. Thanks for watching!

Get a snowblower , quicker.

[@sweatequitylife]

I agree that a snowblower maybe quicker and definitely a cleaner look without having piles of snow everywhere. I had one on my BX23S. A couple of reasons why I don't have a snowblower is we just don't get enough snow throughout the winter in central PA to justify the cost. This plow is 79" wide and cost me $1300 vs 4x more for blower. Without snow on a regular basis, the loader is used more and is more beneficial to leave on. Lastly, other than not wanting to change from FEL to snowblower, I don't have the storage in my garage for the FEL when not attached. All that said, I may have a FEL mounted blower project in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@simd510]

not quicker

[@puntacanaman1]

@@sweatequitylife Agreed. I used to have a front blower on my Kubota but now just have a plow. I get the job done much quicker and no stones from the driveway fired out on the grass to pick up in the spring. The plows really wins over the blower in that wet slushy stuff that plugs the blower chute.
