Woods LS84

[panhandler]

Hi all, I am new to Kubota and this forum. I bought a Kubota B7800 today and it has a Woods LS84 loader. I am hoping this loader is not too inferior to the Kubota loader (LA402) built for this tractor. If it is bad news give it to me straight, I can deal with it.
Thanks, Panhandler

UMMMM... WELL...

It's actually the opposite from what I've seen personally.
The woods loaders are built heavier than most of the older OEM loaders.
I know the lift ratings are higher on mine then stock.
Oh and that is actually a very modern and state of the art loader design with all the new features, the curved arms are very good design!

Parts for woods loaders are easy to get and won't break the bank.

So take a deep breath and relax you did fine!

That's good news. Can you get the skid steer Quick Attach adapter plates for this loader?
Thanks.

Woods make excellent stuff. Measure the width of the arms at the pins, and check with Woods, your local Kubota dealer, and ebay for the QA adaptor plate. That will probably end up expensive - you will then want a new bucket too.
Enjoy that tractor - it will do amazing work for you! Welcome to the forum.
