It sure does. I like all the power it has but it's small enough to get into tight areas. Got a removable cab for it recently which definitely improves the snowblowing experience. The strobe lights were a fun project to work on, which I might redo in the future. Having the cab makes me rethink the location of them.
I live in Maine, too, but the biggest storm we have had this year was about 7". I never set my blower to blow so high in the air, that's why there is so much blow back. Blowing straight across or just slightly higher than that keeps the snow from coming back on you.
Guessing you live near the coast. One side of my driveway has a hill so need to shoot the snow high. I think I can lower it though and still get it to the top. I will try it next storm.
Nice video. I'm a John Deere person by heart having used a John Deere X595 with a 54" plow for the last 18 years to plow my driveway and the neighbors. I love my John Deere's (318, 445 & X595) but am amazed at how well the Kubota snowblowers blow the snow so far and with so much force and what seems like a very smooth action of the snow coming out of the chute. I don't have a snowblower for my X595 but have watched a lot of videos of both John Deere and Kubota snowblowers and I have to say, the Kubota's have it all over the John Deere's. I love watching them blowing snow. Yes, a cab would be nice but I would also want it removed during the summer. Again, nice video and enjoy your BX2680 and snowblower. Curt.
Thank you Curt. ATV cabs makes a nice removable cab which I am considering buying. I also want the option of removing it in the summer. I have owned my tractor almost 2 years and love it. I should be posting some more snowblowing videos soon. Thanks for watching.
Front mount blowers are the nicest but I can’t be without my FEL so I just went with the 3 point reverse driving blower. Have a JD1023. That machine looks like it blows further but I’ve never found my setup lacking. Drive is about 450 feet long and the Deere easily went through the 20 inches we had two weeks ago.
I installed the chute motor so I can change the deflection angle. Now I just need more snow to try it out better. Everything is melting now. Great job with your removal. The machine makes it more fun than running around behind a push blower. Take care: from Petawawa, Ontario.
That tractor really throws the snow.Great setup, Now for a cab! I live in Maine also,the wind always seems to be blowing toward me instead of to my back.Maybe a cab is in order for me as well.Your doing a great job, and you have a beast of a tractor/snothrower setup. Gotta love these Maine winters (not).
Thank you. I finally got a cab this year and it was money well spent! My most recent tractor video shows it in action, video quality better too. Maine winters not so bad if you have a few toys to play with, but now that it's March I'm ready for summer.
Nice, i dont have a snow blower but i ended up pushing the snow with the bucked. worked great. things has plenty of power and the four wheel drive is excellent
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Paul Denver thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have a gravel driveway too, put a steel pipe with a slit the length of it over the cutter bar ,slides over the rocks instead of digging in. Have done that for years.
Thanks for the tip. I saw a video of someone else doing that and It seems like a creative solution. Glad to hear another person confirming it works. I might have to give it a try.
York county here. Had a couple small storms here so far but hoping for a 1+ foot storm. I just installed a cab on my tractor this year, its an awesome addition for the winter months.
Great Video! Small tip though; push your loader stick all the way forward into float mode so you don't have to keep playing with up and down trying to keep it at the right height
Thanks. I usually use the float but I have a few spots on my driveway that it digs into. One of my summer projects is to fix driveway so should be better next winter.
Agree. The blower I have allows me to control the chute left and right but the chute angle has to be done manually. I angle it high because of the hill on the side of my driveway but think I can angle it down some to help. There is an option to add get an up/down chute control, which in my opinion should be a standard feature.
I got a cab this year and it was money well spent! Too much money for a Curtis cab plus cant take off in the summer, so bought an Original Tractor cab instead. Got a bunch of extras with it too and was about 60% cheaper than the Curtis cab. My most recent snowblowing video shows it installed if you want to check it out.
Many talk about getting a cab, my dealer wanted 7700for an after market one, wow too much for me so I use my snowmobile suit and a helmet with a visor, pull visor down when snow blowing at me, up rest of time. Stops that gust of snow getting on your face (very cold) rest of time very good, in fact I just purchased the rear blower half price of front one and this works well too. Very pleased with this cause can keep bucket on as well.
Snowblowing is the way to go but I am definitely getting a cab! Original tractor cab has one for around 1200 but you cant fold down the ROPS which is a problem for me. So I might suck it up and get the one I really want which is 4500. Its made by ATV Cabs LLC and similar to a Curtis cab. Big difference though is you can remove the cab which I like. I only need it in the winter. Good chance by next winter I will have a video on here showing it. Ive suffered without a cab for too long.
@@maineoutdoors8227 hello from Northern Ontario. I have the BX2380 with a commercial blower and rear blade and I tried open station for a month and packed that idea away and got a Tektite Cab. It has heat, wiper blade and front and rear flood lights. It’s so much nicer I can’t tell you how much. I can blow into the wind and I’m not bothered at all. I flip the wiper switch and the windshield is clear. Today I blew snow for 3 hours doing neighbours driveways and it was bitter cold outside but I turned the heat on and I was toasty warm inside! I don’t even have to pile on the clothes to stay warm and my glasses never get drenched with snow. I guarantee that a cab will change your life. My Tektite Cab is Roll Over capable and I don’t need the ROPS on. The cab is made in Manitoba, Canada.
@@orestwitiw213 Thanks for the info. I havent heard of Tektite Cab but will check it out. Right now I am leaning toward the cab made by ATV Cab. They have a hard shell cab that can be put on and off in about 10 mins. Definitely will have something before next winter.
I saw that cab too it’s more versatile. On the Tektite you’d have to remove the doors and the front window opens up about 4-5”. It’s definitely more of a permanent cab.
Just wish they would lose that damn treadle pedal. The school district I worked for 35 years bought four of them, and that treadle pedal sucks. My ankle does not bend the way Kubota wants it to. Yes, you can pick your foot up and press down on the back side but it not that comfortable to use. We had a John Deere with the two pedal hydro, and I loved it. Simply leave your heel in one place and pivot your toes left or right as needed. So much easier to use. I will never understand why people like the treadle pedal. And I asked the dealer about it and he said some people like it. I think if they tried a Dohn Deere just once they would be sold.
Works really well I need to modify with some skids so will go over the grass right now all you have to do is lift up the front a little and goes well over the lawn I will modify so they can be adjusted for height
Not many of us 2680 owners. Had a 2380 and love the difference. Doing a super job for you. Great side LEDs! What are they? Gosh you got 5 bills plus stacks on that weight box, your covered!
Hear that a lot from people who have tried both. 2680 gives me all the power I need, especially with snow blowing and mowing. I got a cab recently for the winter months so might relocate the strobe lights since I mainly use them for snow blowing. My 1st video posted on youtube provides more details about them but let me know if you have any questions. Weight box, buckets of sand, and loaded turf tires gives me all kinds of traction on snow and ice.
Plowing is definitely quicker, but snow banks can sometimes be a problem. I like having an all in 1 machine that can do both the driveway and walkways. Also less rocks to cleanup on the yard in the spring. Both options are better than shoveling though ..... lol.
Yes sir! The strobe lights were a fun mod to work on. I got a cab recently to use in the winter months, so considering changing the location of them. My 1st youtube video talks more about them along with links to what I used.
Exactly. I have the skids set to the highest level so it wont dig in but some spots I still need to be careful if the ground isnt frozen. Once ground is frozen, I can use the float function and it works great. I plan to work on my driveway this summer which should help with this.
Good eye, I have weighted turf tires and ballast box which gives me all the traction I need on snow and ice. Even have a couple hills to deal with and it works great. This tractor could handle even more snow, which I hope to try some day. I also have a set of R4 tires that I use in the summer. If I used R4s in winter, I would need chains.
@@terrychristle1477Ballast box model is B8160 and it's primary use is to add extra weight to the back. I customized mine to hold two 5 gallon buckets with sand which I can scoop out and put where I need it. This box doesn't drop sand, but they do make a sand spreader rear attachment.
Yeah they are expensive and not made to be taken off. I got an Original Tractor cab that was about 60% cheaper and it's easy to remove in the summer. Much better option in my opinion.
It's hard to do that with a 7' hill next to my driveway. So usually set it high enough to deal with that and leave it. Someday want to get a chute actuator so I can adjust this without having to stop. Did install a cab this year which was a big help! Thanks for watching.
Have a good time, you have a good tractor for snow removal, we can only dream of such a technique where I live, can I ask you for a little help? as a single father caring for a disabled daughter, it would be nice for me to get a little help in raising funds for a tractor, as much as I don't mind at least $ 1 and then in the piggy bank. Thank you for a nice video.
Lol....I know it wasn’t the best quality. My son is running the camera, and it was a little cold that day. I now have a tripod and some tractor mounts for a GoPro, so better quality footage coming.
The person hand-holding while filming is not very good at it...bouncing and jerking the device around...its rather annoying....it adds not 8:23 hing to the video and it really takes away from the activity.
Yeah, I found that out on the day I picked it up. Anyone who has ever done some snowblowing knows that is a necessity. I probably will add it at some point but this is the one thing that has irritated me about this purchase.

The snowblower does a great job. Love the flashing strobe lights! I always say, if they are gonna hit me, they're gonna see me first.

Everyone fishing or blowing snow should have to carry a tape measure. You should see the 36" small mouth I caught last year.
It was measured twice.
With plenty of power to spare you go through that deep snow just like a walk in the park ) great video☺

Good job with your Kubota and blower. We installed an original cab on our little Massey. It sure is comfortable blowing snow now.

Check Hinomoto HM255, is a great Tractor to, one of the best engines (yanmar) with great torque at low rpm (top on the segment), whith a great price
Why would you blow the snow where you just plowed
What model is the blower?
Thanks!
It is a BX2822
I see that your not scraping the ground. Is it because you have a gravel drive?

On the other hand, you would no longer look like Frosty the snow man.

Handled that 26” like nothing
should of installed a enclosed cab
I agree and it will definitely be happening at some point.

I can put a cab on the tractor which I will be doing at some point. Wanted to try without it first but it didnt take long to realize it's a necessity!
Sorry but your camera person makes the image way too unstable.
