Same. I do break about 5 to 10 a winter. I engage the PTO at super low speed with no snow. Override the PTO so it stays on the whole time and just do up/down when I dont want to blow snow. I break up the end of driveway piles from the plow so they aren't big ice piles. That seems to save them.

Good little machines. I have the gr2020 with mower deck and blower.. Kubota sent me weights that came along with kit. I tossed those weights in the trash can. I never need them for snow blowing. The electric motor on my blower has 12 volt heat tape wrapped around it with a switch. I turn it on everytime I blow snow, has not froze yet.
A quick note on the turf tires, I have them on my BX2380, and have had zero problem, but this is because I'm using a snow blower, I guess with a front loader, you've got a lot more force on the tires causing them to spin - but I've seen a good video review of tires in the snow, and the turf tires do better than R4s ( I won't mention the UA-cam channel, but I'm sure many viewers have seen the extensive tests ) That said, love my Kubota and yeah this little monster does a great job too.
I have a lawn tractor with a blower...I've only used the blower twice in the 5 years I've had it LOL...since I bought the blower we haven't had enough snow to really justify installing it....tried it a couple times in 8-10 inches of snow...does fine, I have 4 suitcase weights I put on the rear, and snow chains...does just fine, no 4WD or AWD needed, especially for a blower as you really aren't doing much snow pushing like you would with a blade....the weights and chains help quite a bit to keep the thing moving in the right direction though, with that blower on the front without the weights you don't go anywhere you just spin the wheels because of the weight of the blower hanging on the front....not impressed with the attachment setup it has the old style rails that pin up under the belly of the lawn tractor...its quite a chore installing/removing the blower, which is one reason I don't bother with installing it. I'd sell the thing, but here where I live people want stuff for nothing, so it just sits on a pallet out back unused. I have a sub-compact tractor with a loader and rear blade, which I think is a better solution anyways most of the time, unless the snow gets real deep and you gotta get it out of the way, then a blower would be great, but the snow don't stick around very long usually.
If you put weight on the back you might have put them on the wheels because they give you better traction in and the other thing you got watch is the front end doesn't slide because when you turn the wheels the front end decides it wants to hold his own way
Can you do a vid on this tractor with the push blade ? I like the blowers but would rather plow with a blade. I have a Toro 419XT and want to upgrade next season to the 2120.
Well you by what you can afford and I'm going to stay right now not everybody can afford to buy a bigger tractor with a cab we just have to deal with not having a cab
You want to know Wyatt doesn't rip it's the tires during summer tires and you need winter tires for them I don't know why you guys don't buy and make them winter tires for them tractors you make them for the other tractors why don't you make them for the they can take off to summer tires and put the winter tires on

Personal experience with this particular combination. I break 2nd stage shear pins all of the time, They sometimes break just by engaging the PTO.

I’m glad I went with the BX .
I have owned both and you are absolutely correct!! LOL!!

Thanks for the info
I’ll have to try that with mine I made heated cab for my GR
Awesome little Kubota ! I'm impressed with just how much snow that thing blows ! Awesome to see ! Thanks for the video.
Thanks 👍

lol yeah Messick does a good job on the tire videos. Thanks for watching & commenting

Great video!
You said that you have a video about the GR2120 quick connect, where is it ?
Hopefully out soon, its a full set up of the fun connect & blower
What you need is determined by the job at hand.
Maybe a regular application of dielectric grease on any infiltration points of the motor.
It's hit or miss, sometimes that is the fix though

Great idea! Just ordered the blade going to be a couple months before the video is up though
Take a look on a video on UA-cam for the blade "Kubota GR2010G plowing snow - deeper snow this time" you will like this one
Well you by what you can afford and I'm going to stay right now not everybody can afford to buy a bigger tractor with a cab we just have to deal with not having a cab
Thats why i always go Hydraulic whenever possible, because eventually the electric motors will get moisture in them and cause problems
Wonder if one could put tire chains on the rear tires?
yes you can, we have sold a couple of sets need to install wheel spacers first
do you have any video put on snow blower?
videos are being made this fall showing the install and removal on the GR/BX/LX line up
Does it cut through ice or will it just go through powder snow
it is a lighter blower so it can ride up on hard packed snow
Your wearing sneakers & NO socks. I've hear of being Canadian & then there is CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No socks..........................
You want to know Wyatt doesn't rip it's the tires during summer tires and you need winter tires for them I don't know why you guys don't buy and make them winter tires for them tractors you make them for the other tractors why don't you make them for the they can take off to summer tires and put the winter tires on
There are bar tires available for the GR line up if you wanted more traction in muddy conditions
will never own anything Diesel because of the fuel prices.
