Kubota Snowblower Attachments
Kubota Snowblower
When winter arrives, one of the most challenging tasks is clearing snow from driveways, sidewalks, and other areas. A Kubota snow blower can be a valuable tool for both residential and commercial snow removal needs. Designed to be easy-to-use and efficient, Kubota snow blowers offer exceptional performance and reliability.
Key Features and Specifications
- Front Mount Design: Kubota’s snow blowers are front-mounted, allowing for better visibility and maneuverability while clearing snow
- Various Sizes and Capacities: Kubota offers a range of snow blower sizes and capacities to suit different tractor models and applications. For example, the B2650 has a snow blower upper limit of 60 inches and 500 lbs
- Durable Construction: Kubota snow blowers are built to last, with high-quality materials and components. Genuine Kubota parts should be used for any necessary replacements
Benefits of a Snow Blower vs. a Snow Blade
Snow blades and snow blowers are two common tools for snow removal, but they have distinct differences in terms of functionality and efficiency. While both tools can clear snow, a snow blower offers several advantages:
- Throwing Distance: Snow blowers can throw snow much farther than a snow blade, allowing for more efficient clearing of larger areas
- Versatility: Snow blowers can handle various types of snow, including wet and heavy snow, while a snow blade may struggle with these conditions
- Faster Clearing: Snow blowers can clear snow more quickly than a snow blade, thanks to their ability to throw snow and their wider clearing paths.
Choosing the Right Snow Blower
When selecting a snow blower, consider the following factors:
- Size and Capacity: Choose a snow blower that is compatible with your tractor’s specifications and can handle the amount of snow you typically receive. For example, a 52-inch blower may weigh around 400 to 500 pounds.
- Terrain and Obstacles: If you have a hilly or uneven terrain, opt for a snow blower with adjustable skid shoes and a floating hitch to ensure proper clearing. Additionally, consider the presence of obstacles such as curbs or rocks and choose a snow blower with a robust auger and impeller system to handle these challenges
- Maintenance and Service: Look for a snow blower that is easy to maintain and has readily available parts and service support. Kubota snow blowers are known for their reliability and can be serviced with genuine Kubota parts
Kubota make a wide range of compact and utility tractors, skid steers and utility vehicles, many of which can also be used as very powerful and effective snowblowers.

What Snowblower will fit a Kubota GR2100
Kubota’s GR2100 is a riding mower, not a tractor or garden tractor, so it typically does not have a snowblower attachment available directly from Kubota. However, there may be third-party manufacturers or aftermarket attachments that can be adapted to fit the Kubota GR2100.
- GR2846A: This is a snowblower model that has been installed on a Kubota GR2120, which is a similar model to the GR2100. It is not clear if this model is compatible with the GR2100, but it may be worth considering.

What is a drift cutter on a Kubota Front Snowblower?
A drift cutter on a Kubota front snowblower, or on any snowblower for that matter, is a helpful accessory designed to assist in cutting through deep snow drifts and packed snow. Snow drifts can be a significant challenge when clearing snow, as they are often denser and more difficult to remove than loose snow.
The drift cutter typically consists of two adjustable metal or plastic bars that are mounted on either side of the snowblower’s front housing, near the intake chute.
These bars can be raised or lowered to the desired height. When lowered, the drift cutters act as guides, helping to direct snow and ice into the snowblower’s intake chute. This makes it easier to break up and move large snow drifts effectively.
The main purpose of drift cutters is to prevent snow from spilling over the sides of the snowblower housing, which can happen when you’re dealing with deep snow drifts. By containing the snow and guiding it into the blower, drift cutters improve the overall efficiency and performance of the snowblower, allowing you to clear snow more effectively and evenly.
When using a Kubota front snowblower with drift cutters, it’s essential to adjust the cutter height based on the depth of the snow and the specific conditions you’re working in to achieve the best results.
What size of Chain is on a B2750 Kubota Snowblower
The B2750 Kubota snowblower uses a #40 chain with 37 PI (pitches per inch).
How to install a new Chain on a Kubota Snowblower
To install a new chain on a Kubota snowblower, follow these general steps:
- Prepare the snowblower: Ensure the snowblower is turned off and the engine is cool. If necessary, remove any attachments or covers that may obstruct access to the chain.
- Loosen the tension: Locate the tensioning mechanism for the chain. This may be a tensioner bolt or an adjustable idler sprocket. Loosen the tension to create slack in the chain.
- Remove the old chain: Carefully remove the old chain from the sprockets, making note of its orientation and how it was threaded through the snowblower.
- Thread the new chain: Take the new chain and thread it through the sprockets, following the same path as the old chain. Ensure the chain is properly aligned with the sprockets and not twisted.
- Tighten the tension: Gradually tighten the tensioning mechanism to remove the slack in the chain. Check the manufacturer’s specifications for the appropriate tension for your specific snowblower model.
- Test the chain: With the snowblower still turned off, manually rotate the auger or impeller to ensure the chain is properly engaged and functioning smoothly.
- Reassemble the snowblower: If you had to remove any attachments or covers, reattach them securely.
To replace the chain on a Kubota snowblower, you may need the following tools:
- Socket set: A socket set with various sizes of sockets and a ratchet handle will be useful for loosening and tightening bolts and nuts.
- Wrenches: Depending on your snowblower model, you may need a set of wrenches to loosen and tighten bolts and nuts.
- Pliers: Pliers can be handy for holding and manipulating small parts during the chain replacement process.
- Screwdrivers: A set of screwdrivers, both flathead and Phillips, may be needed for removing and reattaching covers or other components.
- Chain breaker tool: If your new chain does not come with a pre-installed master link, you may need a chain breaker tool to remove a link from the chain and create a new master link.
- Chain tensioning tool: Some snowblowers may require a specific tool for adjusting the chain tension. Check your snowblower’s manual or consult a Kubota dealer for the appropriate tool.
- Lubricant: A lubricant, such as chain oil or spray, can help keep the chain running smoothly and prevent premature wear.
How to Grease a Kubota Snowblower
Greasing a Kubota snowblower is an essential maintenance task that helps ensure the smooth operation and longevity of the machine. Follow these steps to properly grease your Kubota snowblower:
Materials you’ll need:
- Grease gun
- Grease suitable for your snowblower (check your owner’s manual for specifications)
- Safety gloves and eye protection
Steps:
- Safety First: Before you begin any maintenance on your snowblower, ensure it is turned off and disconnected from the power source (if electric) or the engine is completely shut down (if gas-powered). Also, wear safety gloves and eye protection to protect yourself from grease and debris.
- Locate Grease Fittings: Kubota snowblowers typically have several grease fittings (also known as grease nipples) located at key points on the machine. Consult your owner’s manual to find the specific locations of these fittings. Common locations include the auger shaft, gearbox, and the impeller shaft.
- Clean the Fittings: Before applying grease, use a cloth or rag to clean the grease fittings. This helps prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the grease.
- Prepare the Grease Gun: Load the grease gun with the appropriate type of grease recommended for your snowblower. Make sure the grease gun is in good working condition.
- Apply Grease: Attach the nozzle of the grease gun to one of the grease fittings. Pump the grease gun handle until you see fresh grease coming out around the fitting. Continue pumping until you see clean, new grease, which indicates that you’ve pushed out any old or contaminated grease.
- Repeat for All Fittings: Move on to the other grease fittings one by one, repeating the process for each. Be sure to apply grease until you see clean grease emerging.
- Check Owner’s Manual: Refer to your owner’s manual for any specific greasing intervals or recommendations for your snowblower model. Some snowblowers may require more frequent greasing than others.
- Inspect for Leaks: After greasing all the fittings, inspect the snowblower for any signs of grease leaks. If you notice excess grease around a fitting or elsewhere, wipe it away and check for loose or damaged fittings.
- Reassemble and Test: Once you’ve finished greasing and checked for leaks, reassemble any parts that you may have disassembled for better access. Then, start your snowblower and run it for a short period to ensure that everything is working smoothly.
- Clean Up: Properly dispose of any used grease cartridges and clean your grease gun for future use.
