The windblown drift was a little of 6' at the tallest point . 50' wide x about 80' snowbank . Thanks to the Kubota it took an hour and 10 minutes to make go away while I stayed toasty warm with heater on and fan speed on one . Glad to have this machine to do this kind of work .

No regrets here . I was thinking about getting a Kubota v-blade as I have the kubota quick connect as part of the snowblower setup . I was concerned about the blower having enough power to equal it's width but after running it no need for a blade . I moved snow with a blade attached to my jeep...

Follow up , Last two days have been a test . At or below 0 f , 35 mph plus steady winds . Didn't snow at all but I think all the snow from north dakota landed in my driveway . Been living here most all my life and have NEVER seen seen snow packed so hard . Drove kubota out , warmed up a bit I...

Yep , the rubber trim that surrounds it holds it in place . Works best when it's in a heated garage . I used a hair dryer to make it extra warm , use a wide blade putty knife to start it . Keeping it warm is the key to working with the rubber .

Not my machine , but there is one on one of hutterite colony's by where I live with over 14,000 hours on it , not sure of the miles .

The dealer I bought mine from said the kubota snow blower is made in Canada . Not sure it that is accurate though . I do know that the rtv x1100c is made in georgia .

You must live in canada , eh . Or You must live in canada , a . Not sure how you guys spell it . Unless you live in the Yukon you could save a boatload of money driving a bit to cross the us border . On a serious note that is part of the reason I bought this year . With all the availability...

There is a negative to the blower compared to the blade . The initial cost , and it is a big one , the price compared to the blade . Real numbers comparison . The blower cost me 12,500 . 00 dealer installed as it is quite an extensive install . I bought a 2017 rtv 1100 c with about 2000...

Yeah , I was kinda looking forward to spending the winters in florida in a couple of years to get away from this chore . My son in law said he would take care of my snow removal for me when I went . Now may just go to get away occasionally . Much cheaper to stay here as I won't have to buy or...

One word description , WOW!!!!!! Previously I used a blade mounted to my jeep to do this work . I have a concrete driveway about 50' wide by about 150' long . The blade worked fine except I had to make repeated passes because of the length I had to push it to . I Was lucky I had an open field...

Almost done with install . In the side view look closely behind blower spout , they have a convex mirror attached . Probably to help lining up blower when hooking up . 2" lift kit installed . The blower is lifted up in pictures and not as much sag in front end as I thought there would be .

On flat ground my speedo tops out between 22-24 mph . With a gps app on my phone it says between 26-28 mph .

Well ,, I took my rtv in to the dealer to have the snowblower installed . I was concerned about ground clearance for when I use the machine without the blower attached . I asked about the orange aftermarket 2" lift . The tech that is working on my machine has installed several snowblowers . He...

I'm wondering about 4' wind driven snow drifts . I know the first pass is the hardest , partial cuts after first pass . Can I raise the blower up when moving the drifts ?

I am trying to decide if I should add a snowblower to my x1100 . I live in south dakota so I'm sure I will find a use for it . I'm looking for fresh input from those who have a blower on their machine . I have a 50' x 150' driveway that will often have drifts that will measure 4' tall In...
