Try our snowblower attached to a Kubota B-Senes or L-Series tractor for a snow removal team that’s hard to beat. They are a cinch to operate using the tractor’s 3-point hitch as a hydraulic lifting system. Clear snow from driveways, roads or parking lots. Break up and clear heavy drifts. A special heavy duty rear-mount snowblower is a recent addition to Kubota’s B and L-Series line-up So before the forecast calls for snow, make a dash to your Kubota dealer.
