Thank you very much, TwoBuck!

I was going to ask why you shoveled so much but you answered that right away 😂👍🏻

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

The visibility in that cab is pretty good, that was a good snowfall. Have a great weekend Dave 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

Thanks, Luc! That factory cab is really good for that. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[@botadriver]

Another job well done Thanks for sharing Dave!

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

Glad you enjoyed it. You are a great supporter of my channel, Bota!

We received about 4 inches of wet snow hereon theSeacoast.Hoping tomorrow's snow storm is lighter fluffy stuff. Glad to see your video. Happy snow day!

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

Hey JH I'm hoping the same for you but I think they are saying heavy wet again. Little less on the coast. My daughter is in Dover so I'm hoping for only a few inches over that way.

Hey Dave ! - Wow love love love your Kubota ! It's a MONSTER compared to mine haha. I have a little BX, but still love it. ⚠That cab is life-changing isn't it.... you're almost as comfortable as sitting on your couch watching TV there hahaha. Thanks for the videee-ohhh ! 🙂

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

Thanks, KTT! That cab is a difference maker for sure. Thanks for watching!

I have the same tractor. I thought we should be using the blower at 2400-2500? I saw you had it around 2100?

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

You are correct! Depending on how much and how wet the snow is, I just usually operate the blower at minimum 2100 and up to 2500. That's tractor rpm not PTO. Although, I think the mid PTO runs almost the same as tractor PTO. I think the B2650 maxes at about 2650. I know it's ok to run them full bore but it sometimes doesn't seem necessary.

Just curious how tall is the cab from the ground? How high is your garage door to be able to fit inside ? I’m looking at a B-2601 w/ cab but I’m hesitant about clearing my garage door. What happened to your ROPS?

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

My cab measures at a little over 84 inches but the hazard lights are about 85.5 inches. My garage has 8ft doors so I clear it by about a foot. At my old house the garage was at 7ft so I just barely couldn't get it in there. When you buy the factory cab version there is no ROPS. The Cab is your ROPS.

Ok, I get it

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

Thanks for watching, Robert

[@Robert-tw9ig]

Why do you shovel so much?

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

I'm a little particular I guess. I hate to drive on the snow and pack it down. Specially when it's the wet stuff.

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

@@BeginnerforBSeries don't drive on the snow start blowing it from your garage door

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

I'm confused you fire up a tractor with a snowblower than you shovel the driveway 🤔

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

Hey BB, you may have missed the part about the tractor being in a heated garage. When the box is warm and you put snow into it, especially heavy wet snow, it just builds into the box and becomes less efficient and you can't take in as much because it's caked. If you watch some of my other videos I do in fact just leave the garage blowing snow.
