One thing these tractors need is an emergency brake warning light. Also one for 4 wheel drive is engaged.

I have a L6060 with the front blower. The blower is 7ft. The blower and the frame are each so heavy I can only move them with the tractor loader. When I want to go from front loader to the blower, I first pre-position both the blower and the frame on my equipment trailer with the tractor. After I dismount the loader assembly on the ground, I then pull the tractor up onto the trailer and attach the frame and then the blower to the frame. Being able to use the trailer deck as a jacking surface and the side rail pockets for a come-along if necessary makes things much easier than working off the ground.

@GP Outdoors, I'd like to call your attention to the exhaust heat shield on the right side of your tractor's frame, seen at 17:00. The LX snow blowers come with 2 heat shields. One for the LX2610, which has its exhaust pipe on the left side. One for the LX3310, which has its exhaust pipe on the right side. You don't need both. You can remove that heat shield from the right side, which will give you a little more breathing room when routing your hydraulic lines.

💥 Looks like you’re all set now! The 80 series BX does not have that detent you talked about. My old BX25 did however. 🤷‍♂️ *Keep on tractoring!*

Nice job, as usual. My only tip, if I may be so bold, is to suggest you grease those zerks as you put it away in the warmer weather in the spring as you take it off. I’ve found it’s a much more pleasant job in the spring and the grease flows just a bit easier. That’s also when I line the chute and give the chain etc. a nice coating of oil/lube to slow rust and get things ready for the fall/winter hook up. Keep up the great work!

My wife just bought me a kubota for Christmas… one of the new features is that all four of the hydraulic connections can be removed and reset in one take.

The level ground is also important for putting the loader back on. I left my loader on a pad by my house BUT the tractor was on the grass and wasn’t level. It came off fine, but it was an inch or so too high on one side when going to put it back on. What a pain in the butt it was to get it back on after using blocks of wood to get the thing to twist right to latch in.

Making the same mistake year after year is typical of me! Now you are ready for major snowfalls! Thanks GP!

I have a Kubota l 3940. Started with front mounted SB. After surgery on my neck at age 74 can't get under tractor as easy as I used to. Went to 3pt SB and set of good mirrors. 400ft drive and no problem backing up. Saves lots of sore becks. Great video.

As I write this it is snowing out my window! You should write a "note to self" to watch this video before you install the blower next year! Great job! Looking forward to you telling us about that headlamp! Happy New Year to you and Carol! Cheers!

Hi Gord, Enjoy the unseasonably warm winter. In Calgary and the rest of Alberta it is unseasonably COLD -30 C. We typically are 15 to 20 C warmer. Interestingly enough if you took your blower off and put it on every month it would become a breeze for you. Twice a year just isn’t enough to form a routine in our memories. Have a great holiday season and don’t worry that snow is definitely coming.

It’s a great day with a new video from GP. With those hydraulic couplers I find if I get the tractor warmed up and cycle the implement the warm hydraulic fluid thaw’s the couplers out. I also also keep a torch in my truck.

Greetings Gord, Lee here, great video, I keep making mistakes after 18 years doing this. You mentioned about forgetting the parking brake on, I used to have that problem until I put a backup beeper wired to a micro switch on the brake release lever, so I never have that problem any longer. You and your family keep well and have a prosperous and magnificent new year, later

That's a great piece of advise. Make sure when you remove an implement you do that on level ground. If you ever want a challenge, take your backhoe off in a side hill. Reattaching that was one of the most frustrating jobs I have ever done. Thanks Gord!

Hello, the calm, talking guy that you are makes the task of hooking up such tools seem fun, but I have had a heck of a time and a few choice words, and a few coffee breaks before completing , oh but I love “ playing”at moving snow, merry Christmas, and great new year,

Thank You sooo much for all the VERY informative videos. I just bought the same tractor and have a similar topographical setup and so bought the same attachments you have, These videos will make my learning curve a lot less stressful. Have a Happy New Year.

GP, I guess I can say with Christmas over and the winter season upon us,.... 'and snow it begins!' ,the cold nights,...the groaning starters on vehicles,...the snow covered porch broom and shovel! Enjoy the season, it soon shall pass??? LOL Good stuff!

You are a far more patient person than I. I think the K connect system would drive me crazy compared to a 3 pt blower. But then backing up drives a lot of people crazy.

I wonder if you would place a two by four or a four by four under the front of the pallet to change the angle so it can hook up easier. Hope you had a great Christmas.

My green stuff is different but I still like seeing how yours works. I just took my mid mount mower off yesterday. I'll just put my front blade on unless we get a decent amount of snow.

Great video, just got a 2610 and your channel seems to address every question I have had so far. Appreciate it!

Good video. Moose was a very nice touch. 😊

Hi Gord, first time for me removing the FEL and installing the blower this year. I learned a few pointers for next time from your video. Thanks! Now we need some snow. Cheers from Kawartha Lakes

GP keep that snow up north Be safe

Thanks for sharing Gord, doesn't take you long even with the oop's thrown in . Glad you got it all ready. Good to see Bully Bull Winkle, hopefully he will reach full maturity before feeding something or someone. They are awesome to observe and make fine table fare and clothing too. Stay safe and have a Happy New Year. Did you get the Mug mugshot I sent? Fred

My B2601 has the swift-tach loader and I still struggle with it sometimes. You’re so right about dropping your implements on flat level ground. You need some concrete pads, haha. Good thinking to lubricate all those zerks before mounting the blower sub frame. Your calm voiceover probably doesn’t reflect how you were feeling while trying to align the blower 🤣 Happy new year, Gord!

Hi Gord, Thanks for all the videos. I have a L3901. Even though I do not have a snow blower nor do I see much snow, I learned a few things watching your latest video.

It has been a snowless winter here in Northwest PA USA too with only about 5" so far and none now or this week. I am going to take the blade and subframe off tomorrow and remount the loader to do a little work that I don't want to do by hand but then the sub frame and blade will go back on.

Always love your videos Gord. The way you explain everything is always clear, even the things not to do. Happy Hallidays

Hi Gord! I always enjoyed the winter prep. 2 things I've learned over the years, and suggestions I have - 1. After the loader is disconnected mechanically, run the support arms back in to protect your lift cylinders from many things, like dust and dirt, to corrosion or accidental damage. 2. If you ever do have difficulty connecting your drive line to the mid PTO, position the PTO lever to the rear PTO position, which should put the mid PTO in a neutral state, making it easier to maneuver, if needed. I used to fight with mine, and after learning this, made it much easier! Thanks for the videos, and I hope you have a safe and Happy New Year!

Excellent video Gordon. Bought a snow thrower for my B2650 last year, but didn't have enough snow to even use it. Just had to go through the pain of removing the loader and putting it on again in the spring. Got a bunch of snow last week. Your hints will help me get it back on again.

I enjoyed this video and I don't even HAVE a blower! Cheers Gord!

How's she goin'? Getting the winter gear on is always a good project. And as often as we do it, there are always some mistakes made eh!!! LOL Better to do this job in weather like you had than have to do it in a snow storm though!!! Thanks for positing and have a great winter and New Year!!!

Thank you for sharing this information with us

I wish it would get cold and stay cold. Plus 6 Christmas day sure made a mess of my gravel driveway.

I just removed my loader yesterday for the first time. Today I installed the sub frame and the blower on the LX3301 and all works perfectly.. Thanks for all your great videos on mounting the blower. I have watched them many times. Now I’m hoping for snow.

Great video, Gord - watched the whole thing start to finish even though I don’t have a front blower LOL! Happy New Year to you, Carol, and the family!

thank you for your hot tips it really helps.

Great video GP. Your first video saved me a ton of mistakes on mine. Your blower doesn't have the little parking feet the residential blower has. They help with the angle. It also doesn't have chute elevation so no messing with those two extra hoses. I think my next implement might have to be that blade! I'm experimenting with some sturdy Velcro instead of the recommended zip ties. After watching your new video, I missed a couple of grease zerks! Guess I know what my next tractor chore is! I have the same problem with that right side pin on the blower. Interesting. Headlamps rock. My sister bought me a Petzl years ago and it gets used weekly. Your hanger on your k frame is different than mine, mine is a bright gold curly Q style and your square bars look smarter and simpler. If you want to keep the blower on the pallet a 2 x 4 in front will angle it I think for you better. Also a furniture dolly is the perfect thing to drop my k frame on to and then just roll it where I want it. Roll it back under the tractor and it goes right back on, easy. Anyway not a very organized response, but tips to add for folks. Oh... Use your bucket level indicator for level bucket when starting to remove the front end loader. Less stress on those legs, they're that exact height. Oh and we can't get those Kubota jackets here at all, and nowhere online. I have looked for one for a while now. That thing looks great. Finally, someone explained the dump detent to me in a way that made it make sense... The bucket has weight and normally right is just releasing pressure. Pushing past the detent actually reverses flow. The little hydraulic motor has no weight pushing against the "lift" direction so it needs true flow reversal to go that way. Cheers GP!

Nice job hooking up your snowblower and merry Christmas 👍

Nice video GP - all ready for the snow, agree it's not the normal winter so far but that should change. Nice tips and tricks to removal and mounting that taking shot cuts is a receipt for trouble when it's -30. Cheers and enjoy the holidays and not doing the chores around the property

Holy cow GP! You leave a $100 sheet of plywood under the loader all winter! 🤣🤣😁😁 Cheers from MA!

Thank U ...so much appreciated

w00t! Hey Gord, now you're ready for all that The Great White North will throw at you. Stay warm, my friend!

Great video Gord, would like to see you arrange a test/comparison of an inverted blower when you get some real snow, would definitely be some great content!

I use fluid film on my chute. So far so good. I’m pondering on changing my drive chain on my rear Frontier blower. As I roll over the auger I noticed last year the chain is tight with just the right amount of slack, as I move it. It goes singing tight then loosens up again as I move it more. Not sure if this is from me hitting something. I only snapped a shear pin once on the blowers gearbox shaft and that was a very light bump to do so.

Hi Gord. Another great video. Seems like a flat and level concrete pad might be on your Christmas list for next year? 😃

Nice job GP. Happy Holidays, Jason

GP, you don’t need to turn your key to acc or even on at all as the boom bucket control is mechanical and doesn’t require 12 volts to operate, only your third function valve requires the key to be on.

Xlnt descriptive video. I almost think I can do it. Thanks for sharing.

Great vid

Very good "how to" video.

Excellent

MERRY CHRISTMAS, GP.

Great video

Happy new year Gord. Don't forget to make a quick video on your headlight.

MERRY CHRISTMAS...................

your blower is much easier to put on then the one on my kioti tractor

G p just for reference you do not need to turn the key on to cycle the loader valve it is not powered 3rd function only have juice to it

All set, ill come pick you up with the trailer and you can blow a couple feet of snow. Take care Gord! 🌴❄🍻

. CHEERS!

Happy New Year Gord

I noticed when you store your plow you keep the blade straight. I turn mine so the Hydraulic tube is inside the cylinder. No weather gets to the bare part over the time your storing it..

Good morning sir. Say, have you considered using spray de icer we use on car and truck door gaskets, windshields and mirrors ? Or is that possibly not recommended because of possible contamination. Very good information packed video my friend.

I had my blower on my riding mower for maybe 15 years, I still mess up putting it on every year

Thank you for this video. Very informative and very helpful. I am very lucky that I have people who are around who help me take implements on and off. Also, all of my equipment is in a garage on a pallet. Just makes life a lot easier. We just had an ice storm followed by 4 inches of snow that needed to be plowed. Not a big deal and seems like a waste of time and just wish it was 12 inches. If I have to plow, let it be a lot of snow. I hope you get some snow so all of the work is worthwhile. Happy New Year, GP. Thank you for your videos and the wealth of information you have given so freely to people. I know I will be looking up your video on how to replace a shear bolt. Looked at it last year and it was so very helpful. I know I'll need it again this coming year. Happy New Year!

👍👍

I forget my E brake all the time. Should have buzzer or something.

When you're routing the roses through that hanger under the tractor, would it be possible to pull the aft support cross pin out an inch or two and make it easier to tuck the hoses in, then slide it across and put in the retainer pin? It looks like if the weight of the blower was on the front would take any load off that cross pin.

GP the lx loader is a little bit more work than the o2601 eh?

Please always cut ty-raps flush to the ty, if you leave a sharp excess, you can hurt your self badly... (as a 35 years CAE inspector, I recommande it) God bless !

Is there a reason you don't cover your equipment to keep the snow, rain and so on off ??

I have a question: Back when I brought my LX3310 I got a Lader with it. But as I said many times I only use my Tractor for snow blowing. The loader was placed in the garage and been there for 2 1/2 years. IIQuestion, is there something Should do while it's just sitting there. I know a lot is wondering why I paid for a loader. I feel some time down the road I might see or maybe even trade. Ir when I die at least the Tractor has a loader too. It's being stored inside out of the weather. It's still brand new never used. Again is there something I should be doing?

Who won the split,er for Christmas just wondering 😔

What is that funny white stuff on every thing? Only green stuff here. A very pleasant 25 to 30 Celsius.

Time for a garage Gord??

There is no need to turn your key on a acessories to relieve the pressure in your loader valve third function yes not loader valve it's not lectronic

Suppose to be sore necks
