Well they look pretty smart under the tractor and I was thinking it might help the scalpping that happens with the brush mower and / or the 72" landpride finish mower I have - but not $5000.00 worth.
that's like the blower I have I bought it last year it was 3 yrs old ,but hadden't been used, mounted the mid pto at a grand and then the guy before me had driven over the pto shaft so that had to be replaced and once you have the blower on ; the chute swings left / right ,you can pick the blower up /dwn ,but you no longer have your buck attached ? and I do sooooo much bucket work.
I'll stick to the I 80 international blower on the 3pt, I got for 800.00 used, with a ton of life left in it. Specially for the west coast we could go 3 or 4 yr before we'll get enough snow to even use a blower. anything less then 4 inches you might as well use the plow with hydraulic tilt that mounts on the loader arms in secounds.
These blowers if you go to JD and buy all the kits it takes to put it together it was just shy of $10,000.00 ???
That's nuts ,I'll sell it and get the mid deck at par LOL!

I have a 3320 with cx300 loader good for 1800 lbs plus.
My tires are loaded - but - have tubes in them so the calseum (spelling?) will not eat the rims.
I was told your rear weight should be close to 2/3 that of which you wish to lift with the load - balance right!.
Tires loaded are 300 lbs each, so I needed more ... had and old 45 gal.drum torched acouple holes down low and welded a pipe in there then acouple 7/8 pins to the pipe ends (two points ),then welded from inside the drum a pipe to the inside pipe ,torched a hole 2/3 the way up the drum and made the 3rd point of a 3-pt hitch.
Stopped at Tim Hortins (for you fellows - Cristy Creams)picked up 2 doz. dounuts and headed to my local cement plant . NO problem!they filled it from the extra left in the trucks... came to 802lbs.
The next day I picked up my home build 8oolb balast box - cost under $40.00 CND.
I can lift to the capacity of the 300cx and not spin a tire ,full loads every time ,when it's not needed it's a whole 26 inch of dia. wasted space.
* last note * I mount my orchard forks on the 3-point and pick the drum up in the loader bucket, back under my 8 ft camper ,wrap a rachete belt just under the bed and to the frame of the fork lift and can wheel the camper around like nothing ... including putting it in the truck, two sleds and sled deck same thing,LOL!
That was cheaper then replacing the hydraulic jacks on the camper when they packed it in!

Considering that post was put on here in 2007 ,I'm surprised to hear from you!
I'd forgotten I had this account.
I now own an 08 JD 3320 36h.p. tractor and about 5 other mowers in the 5 to 7 ft sizes...so I sure don't need the kubota.
But as a matter of fact I do still have it ,but it's not a rear mount it's a mid mount mower and it fits models G5200H 14 h.p. diesel
G6200H 16 hp diesel
G1800S 16 hp diesel
G1900S 18 hp diesel
G2000(diesel) and G2000S (Gas)
along with other models is how it was put to me.
I got it with the thought that one day I'd weld a tow frame on the front and mount a Brig & Statten on it and tow it up and down my steepper hills behind my 4x4 quad.
It's here I want $250.00 for it ,and I would guess trucking would be the cheapest way to get it to you.
( I talked to a company on the web in Michagan USA
(spelling?)about truck shipping a 3-pt hitch wood chipper to B.C. and it was about $380.00 USfunds; this mower weights in at I'd say less then half of the chipper and that's what your paying for weight!
I would take it to a trucking depot to send it off, no trouble ,e-mail you the tracking number ,but you'd need to pay the cost.(eg. I could take it too transportor and call you from there and you could pay for it with visa or what ever you use - Or - you find trucking that crosses the border and pay them and I'll delivery to the trucking co.)
I live less then 1 hour from Lyden Washington.
I'd even go to the point of (if the border was good with it)driving it across the border if a trucking company was "Just" across the line - I'd want to make sure it's free to cross with used equipment - but I thinnk it is!
Sorry ,but I'm not so worldly wise to don't know where Massachusetts is!I could google it I guess.
Let me know what you think.
