Read articles →This is a walkaround-plus-real-test of the new 54" Normand Econor hybrid pull-type blower mounted on a Kubota B2301, not just a spec sheet read. It covers grease points, shear bolt access, the two-way manual chute crank, and rear hatch cleanout, then runs it in actual wet, packy 6-8 inch snow, noting RPM drop and throw distance. Good for buyers comparing hybrid pull-type blowers on small tractors.
Posted by Huckabones Equipment, which appears to sell this blower, so expect a dealer-style demo with favorable framing toward the product.
Pull the pin on the access hatch, lift it up, and use the included wrench sized to the welded nut to line up the hole and install a new shear bolt.
In six to eight inches of wet, packy snow after rain, RPM dropped about 400 off 540, the tractor pushed through without crawling, and little snow was left over.
Start the blower at idle, let it spin up before reaching 540 RPM, and lift and let it clean out before lowering RPM and shutting off to reduce torque and wear.
The auger and fan are moved further back for a cleaner finish and better edge access, though this makes cleanout after a jam less convenient than before.
