Kubota unveils new attachments for compact construction equipment

Kubota revealed several new attachments for its compact equipment recently, including new snowblowers, plate compactors and a grapple.

Kubota is launching new snowblowers for its equipment through its Land Pride subsidiary.

The SBL30 series features two motor options to accommodate hydraulic oil flow of 17 to 23 gallons per minute or 27 to 33 gpm. They come in widths of 74 or 84 inches.

They also have two chute options for dumping snow. There is a standard chute and an optional all-new fold-over chute that enables you to dump snow beside the skid steer or compact track loader.

The SBL35 Series has the same features as the SBL30 but is geared to high-flow equipment of 34 to 41 gallons per minute like Kubota's SVL97-2 compact track loader. Features on both include a 16-inch serrated rotor and 26-inch five-blade impeller. Bolt-on wings are optional.

The snowblowers are scheduled to arrive at dealerships in March 2023.
