    LA724 frame break

    Thanks for all the input. I will reach out to the dealer and hope for kubota to help. I'm very surprised that this happened. Ive never abused it, and have always kept up on my maintenance schedule. I can't believe this frame support would give out before a hydraulic line or cylinder. It...

    LA724 frame break

    Anybody ever seen something like this before. Can it be welded or am I out $950 ? I was not doing anything reckless, just moving a dirt pile. I was going slow and steady. When I lifted a load I heard it pop and loader shifted. Any ideas what I did wrong? I didn't see any hairline cracks prior...

    Why nobody talking about rachet rake

    It works awesome for stump removal. Piranha tooth bar wasn't an option for me. I put a new cutting edge wear bar on my bucket where the toothe bar would install. Because of the ease of removing the ratchet rake, I get the best of both worlds. Ratchet rake rips roots and stumps with ease. Look...

    Why nobody talking about rachet rake

    I have the ratchet rake and love it. I use chain binders and short chain to attach. I have cleared acres of brush, stumps, and overgrowth. I highly recommend it and have never had a problem with mine. Its one of my favorite attachments and its worth every penny.

    Ratchet rake

    The only other options are pallet forks or wait a year for the poison ivy to deteriorate and dry up then light it up. Maybe even then it won't be totally safe so stay upwind.

    Ratchet rake

    I have a good amount of dirt in the piles, but not terrible. I would imagine a rock bucket with grapple would be the best tool for brush pile removal but that's not in my budget. A match and kerosene is a little more affordable for me.

    Loader QA compatability

    Yes. The skid steer quick attach is the same for my L3540.

    Ratchet rake

    After I piled up the brush, I used my new landscape rake in the rear or push position to move brush to a large central pile. I ended up bending the landscape rake in doing this. I am to blame, not the equipment. I was really pushing it hard and trying to pile it high by raising attachment into...

    Rear control lever for 3 point hitch M5140 Cab

    I just bought my first cab tractor this winter and have felt the same. I guess it's just a trade off for having a cab. I am interested in seeing what permanent mount options there are, or can be fabricated.

    Ratchet rake

    I just wanted to share with everyone how impressed I am with my ratchet rake. I have a pond that's a little over 2 acres. It is completely surrounded by thick overgrown brush and aside from a couple of hard earned cleared spots, it was unusable. After reading about the rake on this forum, I...
