LA844 manual and/or specs

[philb1010]

Does anybody know where I could get the operator's manual for the LA844 FEL and/or the specs? I can't seem to find them on the Kubota website or anywhere else.

Welcome OTT
Have you inquired at a Kubota dealer for manual. Photo below shows a couple of LA844 spec's Ebay shows a LA844 OM for $11.95 (buy it now)

Hi, thanks. I have asked a dealer but they don't have them since they don't have those loaders in stock, understandable since they're not the newest model. Yes, I know I could buy the manual from somewhere like ebay but I mainly just want to see the specs as I'm comparing it to other loaders.

Go to the dealer armed with a USB stick.

They have access to every manual and can, sometimes, for free, give you a pdf file. Some charge... be nice. Talk to someone more senior than parts.

Dave it's very very uncommon for any US dealers to offer up manuals to customers, they would rather sell you the manual.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed.

Does the LA844 have a 2-stage "fast dump", where you have 2 detents in the rightward direction on the joystick? Is that what's meant in the specs where it says "regenerative bucket dump"?

I compared the LA844 specs to Bush Hog's Quicke 180C loader, which I found is compatible with my tractor (MX5100). It appears to be a little stronger overall, with slightly bigger cylinders and greater lift capacity and bucket roll forces. However, I was quoted over $1000 higher for it, and I'd rather stick with Kubota I think. Thoughts?
