- Kubota LX2610 compact tractor. LX2980 Front Mount Snowblower. LandPride RB1672 Hydraulic Rear Blade. Installation for Winter. outdoor channel.
I think it's that time of year but it's always a risk, based on the forecast. But with snow in the forecast, I am going to mount the Kubota LX2980 front mount snowblower and my LandPride RB1672, with hydraulic angle kit, onto my Kubota LX2610 compact tractor. Let's hope I didn't remove the FEL too soon. Cheers!

Watching how simple the blower seemed to go on, I couldn't help but think back to when I was a kid and watching my father struggle and, uhm...create new phrases while putting the blower on his old Cub Cadet! Thanks for the chuckle it gave me! LOL
LOL! I can imagine. Thanks Patrick!
......I know what's play'n on the tractor stereo ! ..................
..................... LET IT SNOW ! LET IT SNOW ! LET IT SNOW ! ................ Cheers GP !
LOL Bubba!
After hooking the blower and blade up, I'd be hoping and praying for snow... just because! 😁
Thanks for the detail of attaching everything in the front.
You bet Edward! And yes indeed - I am. :)) Cheers!
You are going to love it Gordon!
Good luck with your new snow fighting equipment! Cheers!
Nice process. I taught Tactical Generator for US armed forces for years and stressed the process for trouble shooting and repair. Your install process was outstanding.
Carry on snow warrior.
Looks like you’re all set!
Let it snow! Can’t wait for your first snow removal video. I like the new snow blower. Can’t wait to see it in action.
5-6 days of snow?.?.... Holy Smoly!... Your set up now is like going from a Volkswagen to a Cadillac... 😉👍☺
LOL! Morning BB! Big difference that is for sure. Sadly, the snow came and melted down pretty fast..:(
Gordon, I am with you on the decision to remove the FEL and install the front blower. Last week, I cleared the snow with the FEL (not recommended) and yesterday I turned over my compost mountain with the FEL. In the next few days, I will have to bite the bullet and install the front blower.
A while back, you had a rear mounted blower for testing. That could be the compromise for the shoulder season of mixed FEL work and snow blowing. Then install the front blower when the snow starts to get serious. Rear blowers being cheaper than front blowers, and a LOT cheaper than the other solution--two tractors!
That's a good point Pete! Some thing to consider. It is always tough to take that step and remove the FEL. Cheers and all the best!
Nice looking rig, now your all set for that white stuff.
Great setup GP. You are going to really enjoy that can.
good video now bring on the snow a lot nicer doing it now than in the middle of a snowstorm that was very nice job hooking up the blower and explaining now to do it thanks for sharing have a great day
Nice setup,GP. 👍
That is one fine piece of machinery.
Nice setup Gord !
I put mine on wheels and roll it under. But whatever works. Absolutely beautiful tractor!
That's a great idea Don! Thanks - I can pick up a few from Princess Auto and then just wheel it around - thanks sir!
I love your videos. I watched this one in order to do the reverse - take off my snowblower (a little early, but I want my front loader). Thanks!
I opted for a rear mount snow blower unit,. and kept my Front End Loader in place, ( for those who didn't catch the meaning of FEL ) I dropped off my bucket and mounted
a 6.5 foot 'real' snow plow on front, which is what I use mostly. I push the snow in rows or piles, then if the snow plies are in the way, I reverse into the piles to blow it away.
It's considerably easier to mount a rear 'blower than all those hoses etc. for a front mount unit.
To each his own I guess!
Morning Reg! Sounds like a great setup. I would have considered a similar setup but it's not practical here unfortunately. No plowing. Just blowing. LOL. Have a great week out there!
@@GPOutdoors Yes of course,. you guys have a LOT more snow than we do and drier snow too,.. our snow is usually wet and heavy and more difficult to 'blow'.
Well, here's a toast, that you don't have to use the 'blower much this season, Gord.... Cheers!
Can't wait to see it throw some snow
This video should sell some Kubotas. It sure looks easy to hook up.
Yeah, you look a little spoiled! Really like that power blade on the rear. I am using a '50 Farmall H for pushing snow and it's a big deal to install the plow but, I would rather hook it up and get no snow than to get caught without it. Good decision. 👍👍👍
Man that is a nice setup GP. Well worth the $ based on your long driveway for sure. Not to mention the cold temps. Here in Ohio I just installed my 12V plug in seat heater on my BX lol. Sound funny but that really feels good when pushing snow for an hour or two sitting in the elements. Have a great week Cheers
Spray the inside of the blower and chute with cheap, dollar store, furniture spray polish (like Pledge but cheaper) and then again in the spring when you take the blower off. Reduces snow sticking and surface rust.
Good day GP ! I would probably put a light coat of oil and grease on the expose shiny parts of your hydraulique cylinders on your FELT to prevent it to rust so no leak will occur 🧐 Sir that pine at 4:23 I would put it the other way so in case that the front wheel will push it the little locking wire out of the center, the main pine will not come off by gravity 👍😊 And since it is me, Yes I will lock wire it for safety since it is very close from the ground and the wheel.... 🧐 but others probably tell you already that. You did right at 4:53 👍 You are very well snow equip Sir and have a great week end Cheers !!!
Gord I hope you get the snow you're wishing for and for me I hope it all stays up north.
I like the rear blade being adjustable from the cab, that should save some time.
I guess those are work gloves now. I'm hoping to keep mine clean LOL
LOL! Cheers Chris! It's got to come sooner or later. :))
Like the new set up. My 3940 has a long undercarriage and is more involved putting on. Did it for the first time, the drive shafts were hard to work with too. My drive is a half mile long in northern Michigan but not too hilly so I don’t need chains yet. Thanks for the demo and the tips. UR the best.
Good morning have fun day from Allen and Brenda from New Brunswick Canada
Thanks folks! All the best to you too!
Really a great machine GP. Having the two rear remotes are nice too. When i got my new John Deere i ordered 2 rear remotes i think it cost me an additional 1200 bucks but its worth it for rear implements that require hydraulic lines. Now, if i just had a cab I'd be in business. Have a great weekend GP.
Cheers and thanks Dean! You too!
We had the same set up on a smaller tractor. We got a 3520 Deere several years ago. We also cut a lot of wood. We went with a 7’ loader blade and a 6’ three point hitch blower for the rear. We keep out hoe on the back and mainly use blade for normal snows it pushes great. If we get a blizzard then I put bucket on front take hoe off and put blower on. This way the loader is always on and we cans switch to grapple for cutting wood. By the way. That is one nice looking set up you have. You keep them looking new. Have a great holiday season and think snow. ❄️❄️☃️
Sounds like a great setup you have Eric! Yup, hoping for lots of snow .... but sill waiting. LOL. Cheers!
That is one very nice set up GP , and much more rugged than the one I have and you use too . Have a great winter , and that was a good tip about the detent as I went all through that thinking something was wrong .
Cheers and thanks HC! Me too for some time until one of our subscribers told me about it. Now it is always nice and easy to reconnect hoses. Cheers!
Great video Gord. @4:20 I always try to orient my safety pins so that they will not fall out if something snags the retaining clip. That one could be reversed for a little extra safety.
Thanks Brian - that's a great point - I will. Cheers!
That’s quite the badass setup you got there GP, enjoy!
That is one nice set up gord...besafe
Looking good GP! Ready for winter now! Enjoyed watching even though I will never have to worry about that much snow! lol Have a good weekend my friend and I will see you in the next one!
LOL. Thanks LA! You too - all the best!
Perfect setup! Wish you a great holiday season! Cheers
Thanks Richard! Happy Holidays to you and your family too!
Big toys for big boys. Definitely should feel like playing in the sandbox with Tonka trucks as a kid.
I only have a 900 ft driveway but boy o boy would I love to have a setup like yours. I do have a heated shop to store one though.
Awesome setup GP blower cab blade chains ready for it all love my L but that lx cab has me kinda jealous haha
This front mount system is quite nice. But I believe it can use a total out-of-the-box rethink. There's gotta be an easier way to do these mount/un-mount.
I have the older system and trust me this one looks easier .
Tighten that jam nut up on your top link. Great video, interesting setup with the blower connection-first I’ve seen that design.
Nice video👍
great vid
Looks good Gord. Pretty slick to put in. I just got my rig set up last weekend. See how it performs this year! Enjoy that cab and heat. Cheers
Good luck Bill! Just need the cold temps and snow now. Be well!
Nice tractor
Thanks Dave!
Why do I get the feeling that Gord will not sleep until it snows???😀
I know Wright I think it’s a cab thing lol
It's always bitter sweet changing from summer to winter attachments. Can't wait to see how it all works out for you.
That’s gonna be an awesome setup! If I ever upgrade to a cab tractor, remind me to get rear remotes so I never have to get out of the cab.
You bet Matt! All the best!
Those seem to be a snap to install compared to older versions. Yeah...I'm that guy that puts it off until its too late...and I never seem to learn. I guess you realize GP that you made the argument for keeping the old B2601 for a second tractor when you were lamenting losing the use of the FEL for the winters duration with the install of the snow blower !! LOL....we tried.... The way I see it, the only thing in life you need only ONE of is a wife !! LOL. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
LOL! Too funny T! Yup, that would have been a good argument for sure. With two tractors, I don't think I would ever come back in the house. :)) Cheers my friend!
Great set-up.
What a sweet setup! Looking forward to seeing everything work.
Love your videos safety check up anytime you working the quickness hoses wear safety glasses anyone else fencing will blow in the eyes I had to learn the hard way
That's a great point and I should have been wearing them for sure. Thanks for the good reminder. Cheers!
I am waiting to see how it works also, your old one was great.
Me too larry! I hope it has as much power. Cheers!
Nice setup with everything! Though I have to say every time I see you fitting a blower and subframe I feel better about twisting around to see with the rear 3pt blower. Might be nice to drive forward but I loathe laying on the ground fitting things. Heh.
LOL. If the driveway wasn't so long I'd be mounting a blower on the back for sure Chad. Cheers!
Sweet setup! I'm sure this winter will be a little more enjoyable than last with that toasty cab and nice hydraulic blade. Enjoyed it, as always. Thank you for seeing the time!
Doug
Cheers Doug! Can't wait!
I hope it's chucking down snow right now for you. I want to see the new unit in action!
Very very well explained....
Good morning Gord, it is that time and I agree that getting things set BEFORE the SNOW is better. Glad you’re set and ready. Be safe and have fun up there. Fred 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Fred! Have a good week!
Guy, use auto wax and wax your discharge shoot..... Helps fly the snow even further!
Great video. I really appreciate how you explain things. I don't get snow where I am at.
Had my blower on for a month
Greetings from Wisconsin! Can't wait to see that dream setup in action. I just finished my homemade chute rotation project, so I'm all set with my new blower also. I'm often surprised how easily these kubota loaders can attach and disconnect from the tractor. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
LOL! :)) Cheers IHB!
I have an older Kubota loader which only disconnects with many blows and much foul language.
Nice
I know you may not be, but I am looking forward to snow at your place Best Wishes
I can hardly wait for the snow...! You deserve that nice rig Sir, don't let anyone tell you differently! God Bless and Keep you safe!
Me too! Thanks very much SD!
Setup like you've done it a million times. Bring on the snow. GP woke up to a light cover of snow yesterday morning and its a few days into summer.
LOL! I didn't think you got any snow there Mark! Funny way to start the season. Cheers and all the best!
Great video! I have no need for a snow blower here in Louisiana but I believe I could hook up one after seeing your video.
Looks like you are ready for it when it comes. That setup is very impressive and I bet you will enjoy the comforts of the cab when the cold wind is blowing!
One last I would do is checking if the shear pins are tight. A loose shear pin breaks easily.
Thanks Daniel. Excellent advice. Have a good one!
Hi G.P. it's amazing what we learn just owning a tractor. Things that are so small but so important. As simple as routing a hose and color coding the hoses. Looking forward to seeing the LX and blower move snow. That cab is going to be nice. Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful weekend
So true Ronald. Still learning new things all the time. You too!
We have an LX2610 on its way for 2023!
Can’t wait to see that new blower in action, nice setup 👍🏻
That’s going to be an awesome piece of equipment. Looking forward to seeing it in action!
Great advise , nice new toy! Another idea i have found helpful in regard to the shear pins. Lube them with anti-seize, sure most augers have grease fittings, but all you need is a little water to get in. I have spent far too much time fighting to get them out , swearing someone welded them in😳
For your next purchase can I suggest a B26 TLB? You'll love the backhoe and the ability to have a front loader, forks, grapple in the winter is awesome. Fortunately, I have two neighbors with snowblowers (one front-mounted and one rear-mounted forward-facing), so I make do with a front hydraulically actuated plow. I agree that the only drawback of your setup is the loss of the front attachments. Safe and happy holidays to all.
just did the same thing, only to put the loader back on...i guess i'll chalked it up to good practice..:) Cheers GP
LOL! I'm not sure it was the right time now either John - appears we aren't getting as much snow as forecast so far. :(.
A kid at Christmas and a little bit spoiled ! I’d sure say so ! Enjoy!
LOL! :)) Cheers Marc!
Hey gp just had a thought,I noticed that little plate that says hot is on the wrong side, it’s supposed to be on the exhaust side of the machine to stop the smoke for turning your loader arm black. But love the channel keep up the great content!!!!
I believe his dealer installed both the 2610 and the 3310 exhaust deflectors as the two exhausts exit on opposite
sides of the tractor.
For the price of that blower you could have built a garage!
LOL! But then I wouldn't be able to get to it. :)) Cheers and thanks!
Like the video gp. The dm 100 looks amazing
Nice set up. Your going to really enjoy the cab. When I got a L3560 with a cab, snowblowing became much more enjoyable. Plus I think that blower will throw better and with less shear pin problems.
Howdy Gord,
Great tip to keep a punch in the toolbox! Pins, wrenches, hammer, prybar, couple screw drivers, adjustable wrench, slip joint pliers... In a Kubota toolbox 🤯🥴!!! RIIIGGGHHTT! Just one more mod to my new tractor!
How do you manage the tools you keep on your LX? I've heard the cab tractors commonly have less storage than the open station, is that true or not?
Have a great day and I'll see you next time!
Dom
G P thanks that blower is easier to put on than mine on a B X 2370 but beats shoving
God Bless All
PaK
It sure does Peter! All the best!
Great job putting it on just how much do you think you will like the cab lol I just know you’re going to miss all the snow in your face and the wind
LOL! Cheers Lawrence!
Even though I don't have a snow blower for my tractor, I find this interesting. I do have the same back blade as you and would like to put hydraulics to it like you did. What a difference that has to be.
Morning Gary. I am looking forward to trying it out. Cheers!
going to the cottage this weekend and will be installing my blower and rear blade similar to yours but not as fancy... This will be my first winter
Good luck Richard!
Looks a lot easier to install than my L3560 sub frame and snow blower.
Yeah I think that they were left parallel with the color. For shipping, so that they wouldn't get damaged. It appears that you can turn them down and that would give you a lil more slack.
Great video Gord - that K-connect system is brilliant engineering. With bulk manufacturing it’s hard to make every pin hole align perfectly, but with a bit of wear-in or a light touch with a die grinder, it should all line up pretty well. Curious to see how much snow you got up there ... southeastern Ontario was on the rainy side of this one and only got a dusting at the end of the storm.
PS. Love that Kubota Choko jacket! (I might just happen to have the same one 😉)
LOL. Good morning dave. We got a good dump but it melted down pretty fast after a couple o rains and warmer temps. But hoping it should start accumulating soon. cold snap this week here so fingers crossed. Great jacket - super warm as you know. :) Take care!
How's she goin'? Great looking set up GP!!! The blower looks beefy and that's important especially for a front mount unit!!! I really like the hydraulic angle cylinder for the back blade. With the rear remotes, why not use the right? I really enjoy the winter and plowing, but if the snow waits till nearer to Christmas that'll be OK with me!!! Thanks for posting and take care!!
LOL. I am hoping for a big snowfall Grampie! Hey what did you mean by use the "right"? Thanks!
@@GPOutdoors Oops!!! Typo, I meant to say, "If you have rear remotes why not use them, right?" Sometimes my fingers like to type things my brain knows nothing about!!! LOL
As usual another outstanding video. You should be a school teacher lol. Have a great day.
:)) Cheers and thanks Rodney!
About these colored zip ties. On my tractor, I loosened the rear hydraulic connectors and inserted a zip tie piece of a different color on top of each one to remind myself which hose goes in which connector. I then tightened the connectors to hold it firmly in position.
Greetings from eastern Ontario. No snow in our forecast just yet. +5 degrees C here. But they are calling for a white Christmas. Cheers.
Morning L! I hope we get one too. Love seeing the snow at Xmas. All the best!
GP, now ya can go get a coffee,... finish the house work,.....n wait for the snow! ( plowin in a tee shirt!!!)
LOL! I like your thinking John! Cheers!
I plowed in my jammies till the wife complained about what the neighbors might think.
@@GPOutdoors I would suggest keeping some warm clothes in the cab just in case. That mile long driveway would be a long walk in the dark at -40.
LOL!!
@@briansilver3412 na! Sometimes ya just gotta live on the edge!!!! (Course that's when you're in your 'teens') LOL
Fantastic GP!! I am very interested in knowing how the defrost system works on the inside cab windows once you get some snow in there from you boots and it starts melting. Great video! Cheers!
I had my snowblower attachment for the past 2 weeks but hadn't connected the drive shaft to it. Then we got a lot of rain 2 days ago and I had to reconnect the FEL and the backhoe. To add salt to injury, I couldn't use my tractor to get where I needed to fix the damage from the rain. Almost got stuck until I pushed myself out using the backhoe. Now I dunno if I should connect the snowblower or wait....
LOL. Glad you got out but I know what you mean. Always tough to decide when to do it. Take care Dany!
hi Gord It apears that you have enough room on the blower shoot deflector cyl. to turn the fittings down istead of up. it will give more hose to loop back to your tractor.
Thanks Richard! It made it ok to the side, but I was kind of surprised that those hoses were not as long as the others, to route together. Take care!
Is there a reason you put the front pin in from the opposite side as the rear pin? I put both of mine in from the right side, walk around and put both spring pins on the left side. It's impressive how balanced that sub-frame is, once it is on the front pins on the tractor. Love your videos!
Hi Mike. thanks for. the info and the comment. On my K. connect, the rear pin is only able to go in from the side you see - there is a "lip" that accepts the handle and it only accepts it in one direction. The front Pin also only goes in and the handle fits on the side you see - also reflected in the manual. Perhaps we have two different versions of the hitch? Maybe they revised it over time. Thanks for tuning in and for the comment - let's hope for a ton of snow! I'm dying to eat some snow with it. LOL! Cheers!
Now with the heated cab setup you have the only problem I see is hiding the keys from Carol. :))
Good day to you GP and thank you for another video. I'm wondering about the hydraulic hoses passing through the grill guard, any possible ''rubbing''? If yes, maybe to zip tie a lenght (30-50 cm) of plastic spiral wrap and pass the hoses in there. By the way, when you say ''chores'', with the large smile you have it do not look like real ''chores'' (Lolllll) ;- D Be well
