Todd, I remember when you bought the 1860. I always run the 50" blower at near-wide open throttle, which is what is recommended by Kubota. You will find that any blower will bog somewhat in heavy, wet snow. If it is throwing black smoke you need to slow down some and let the engine get back to speed. I don't think the extra five HP will make a big difference under those circumstances.

Now if you just want a new toy, that's a different strory.

Went and looked at the tractor today. The salesman stood me up
45 minute drive each way for nothing.

Sounds like your dealer needs to do something to make that right for you. There is just no excuse for doing business like that. Not even a phone call to reschedule your visit? :tsk:

I guess they did right by you after all. That's good news. Good luck with the new B. :trink40:
:wwp:

Wow! The B really looms over the little BX. Especially the wheels. That would never fit in my garage either. It is a nice looking tractor though. Enjoy! :trink40:
