Most implements have trade-offs or what may be perceived as shortcomings. Sometimes there's a simple solution such as running the pattern in a different direction. Sometimes they are significant enough to try a different implement.

Trustable, how about a flanged bushing/bearing? Then drill the bushing for a pin. Or shorten the bushing and use a couple washers and nut & bolt.

My first tractor with a loader was a new B7500. I don't remember the hours it took but the edge showed enough wear to convince me it needed a sacrificial edge ("scrap" from our weld shop). It was something that I've done soon after getting the next two tractors. My only regret is not buying...

Loaned it to my BIL :). His L4740 sprung a big hydraulic leak and he needed to push up the manure pile and move round bales. The forks are his. I had the bucket on so he swapped attachments at his place. He was concerned my tractor didn't have "enough meat in its seat" to handle the bale, so...

#3 Son sent this earlier today. It's his back yard about 3 miles from me.

Comment#26 perhaps?

Pretty sure my L4240 would do OK on the ramp (as long as there was a good anchor at the top) :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check into them. The deck got Ospho applied earlier today.

I've dealt with stones in grass. A leaf rake was the best tool. A garden rake wanted to dig into the grass and anchor itself.

Years ago a guy near me was out with a Shop Vac doing a swath of his yard along the road. I just HAD to stop and ask what he was up to. He told me he was picking up the little stones from the "traction material" the state applied in Winter.

With 70°F it was time to get the snow plow off and get ready for Spring 💐 Most was done in about 15 minutes. Get Kubota out, drop snow plow, attach forks, go back in to pick RFM off shelf, take it outside and drop it, remove the forks, grab snow plow and set it on the shelf, put the bucket on...

I've never had a reason to fiddle with the lift arms on the L4240, but in addition to lower holes in the lower end of the lifting rods, the lift arms have holes closer to the tractor that would seem to provide lower position(s) at the implement end. Maybe that's not even why the holes in...

I've used the Kubota's loader to transport different materials on a variety of terrains. On anything other than a paved surface the irregularities at higher speeds cause more bouncing than I like. My concern with bouncing is the unnecessary stress on the loader frame and connections. It's...

I can sympathize with a rear tractor tire. Just last night I was getting filled with glycol. It all leaked out.
