Wow, I did not know that. I just told my dealer to set me up with a snowblower and this is what I got. It does run just fine though. It throws snow way better than my old cub cadet 42" 14hp
I'm not familiar with Kubota models; But I'm guessing that the 23 is its H.P. ... ( I don't know what the 80 part means...) Sure does a great job though...
Personally I prefer a blade in most cases, saves ALOT of time vs a blower as you can go much faster. Unless of course it’s 2 feet deep. And the plowed barriers along the edges of the driveway block a lot of the drifting. To each his own
Yes I had a blade before this and it was faster but I had to plow my whole front yard to keep up with the backfill. I will also say you can buy a whole plowtruck for the price of just a cab which I want next.
Over the years, with gained experience, I've learn to not turn the tractor around on the road for subsequent passes. Instead, after my first pass all the way to the road, I backup maybe 25 feet then open the second pass, I do this until the full width of the driveway is opened. Only then I use this 25 feet cleared section to turn the tractor around, then cleared the show toward the house. This way, the tractor never goes on the road, I don't have to look or wait for traffic as I am never on the road. This is also lots faster and safer.

@@paulkuchnicki437 ... Another advantage of doing it this way, is that it will delay rust on your snowblower. Snow blowing the dirty and salty snow pile left by the city plow at the beginning of your sequence, will be cleared from the snowblower with fresh snow from your subsequent passes toward the house... Cheers ❄❄❄❄🚜 .....
I see this video is from a year ago and I'm late to the discussion - I'm guessing that the first few storms that you ran out of things to blow? I know I did back 1985 when I purchased a 1964 Bolens 12HP hydrostatic drive/lift mower with an attachable 48 in blower fro the front. I blew EVERYTHING! Though it did not throw the snow like your! Impressive! I used to enjoy it!
Must be an American only they wouldn't bother to clean in front of the mail boxes to make it better for the neighbours! However the Kubota tractor and blower do a great job moving snow!
Don't you worry about that, I always clear in front of the mailboxes, in front of my yard so the snowplow can't put a huge pileup in my driveway and out to my polebarn etc. Man if you had this machine you wouldn't want to get off it either.
I went with what the dealer recommended. I will say this. It throws the snow way better than my 13hp cub cadet with a 46" blower did and I used that for 15 years.
Nice machine,excellent driver.a pleasure to finally see someone moving snow without the chute pointed straight up in the air.I never got that.good job my man
Here is a quick tip. If you get to the street before the plow has gone by on your side of the road, if it can be done safely, clear the street section before your entrance by about fifty feet so that when the plow comes thru, by the time it reaches your entrance, it has hardly no snow in front of it's blade, so you don't have to drive down your laneway just to clear the entrance.
My choice was made easy, we have a Kubota dealer in town and when something breaks or you need a part you get it now. I don't like waiting for mailorder.
I live in the city and have no need for something like this but I enjoyed this video so much. If I lived in a rural area with a large driveway like this, I'd head on down to my local Kubota dealer and ask for this exact set up. I'd also grab a mower attachment to cut the grass in the summer. This small tractor with snowblower attachment appears to be the best combo I've seen before.
Yep, and on the other half of my unpaved driveway I have to raise it about an inch and can't lower it until i've done about 4 snows worth and it's packed down good.
I did get the loader, I'm going to try to load another video. This year everytime I've snowblowed it has been wet. Basically it throws it 1/3 as far and you have to go slow and lift it slightly off the ground.
Wow that was child's play for that machine!
I assume you use this to cut your grass also, you probably have a mower deck as well.
I went to Kubota to literally buy a thier small lawn tractor and it got out of hand, lol. Yes I have the mower deck and of course the bucket.
Im a JD guy. That is darn impressive how far that chucks the snow.
54"snow blower on a 2380 is overkill, it is not recommended Any Kubota dealer will tell you that 48" is recommended. Or Upgrade to a 2680
Wow, I did not know that. I just told my dealer to set me up with a snowblower and this is what I got. It does run just fine though. It throws snow way better than my old cub cadet 42" 14hp
What BX model do own?
it's a bx2380
This is very satisfying to watch. Great content!!

Yes it's 23hp
Sexy
That REALLY throws the snow. Holy hell.
Neet job

This is one badass machine thanks for the video.
Nice video. I subscribed hopping to see more.

lol, hell yeah nothing like new equipment!
Good move

I don't think the 54"blower is recommended for the 2380, 2680 would be a better fit

54" is overkill for a 2380 to much throat dimension 48" is sufficient No dealer will recommend a 54"

Pro tip. Don’t put the camera on your head. You make people watching your vids vomit.
The operator made that look easy.
If stronger knives were installed, this machine could be used to dig irrigation or drainage canals, as well as military trenches.
Wow that’s a beast!!! Great video, Kubota pay this man!!

I don’t think he cares.more fun for him
Yes, I clear a 30' x 2 passes wide area on my side of the road, it makes the lawn turn yellow in the spring up by the road but it's worth it.
Yup I do the same thing out in the country when the grader goes by
Good job keeping the RPM's up where they need to be. That thing is really moving the snow.
Man that looks like fun
How does it do in deep wet snow?
I'm going to speed up pto speed on my Steiner. Always have pile of snow Infront and only throws 15'
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!!
I hate winter!
No. his rig is way more awesomer!
Where isthis ?
Northern Michigan
@@paulkuchnicki437 thats where i'm at, i thought it looked familiar
Did you do the neighbors after?
Was looking at a john deere till i saw this. Thanks!
My choice was made easy, we have a Kubota dealer in town and when something breaks or you need a part you get it now. I don't like waiting for mailorder.
@@paulkuchnicki437 i live in the sticks, have a deere dealer closer but im used to traveling or waiting for parts.
Looks only 48inch maybe
Well now... .that sure makes my walk behind blower look like a booger!!
Hey, don't just show it off - I want to see the whole machine and specs I might want to buy does it cut grass TOO?
All worked well the first winter the blower unit started falling apart.

The power that thing has is uncanny 😮
Nice!
Nice Job! I'm curious as to what you used before the BX2380? I like that your house is set back
I bought a new cub cadet lawnmower in 1996 with a 42" blower. It worked great for years but I wanted to upgrade.
@@paulkuchnicki437 upgrade... boy did you 👍
@Paul Kuchnicki . I have a 1998 cub cadet 3000 series with a 45 inch blower and love it. Not great for snow over 16 inches thiugj
Do you have chains on the tyres?
No chains or added weight no problems 2 years now.
Anyone else watching this while eating French toast?
Yup, a $5,000 attachment. Works great on pavement. Not so great on a gravel driveway. But it moves snow.
Yep, and on the other half of my unpaved driveway I have to raise it about an inch and can't lower it until i've done about 4 snows worth and it's packed down good.
Need to get the chute deflector. Helps with wind as well as tight areas or other vehicles around.
Yes I definately need to get that option!
Every snowmans worse nightmare 😮
Can’t beat a good blower! Have had the same one for years. You wished you got the cab too huh!…haha
Did you get the loader as well? It throws that light snow really far! I wonder how it will handle really wet snow
I did get the loader, I'm going to try to load another video. This year everytime I've snowblowed it has been wet. Basically it throws it 1/3 as far and you have to go slow and lift it slightly off the ground.
