Thanks everyone for your input. The update so far is I put the new OEM grease fitting in, which was actually measuring shorter than the painted OEM fitting that came with the loader. Not sure what Kubota was doing on assembly day. New fitting isn't even screwed in all the way and was able to...

Thanks guys. I should mention, I don't own a means to get the tractor to the dealer. And their round trip fee is $300 not covered by warranty. If my zerk issue doesn't have anything critically alarming about it, and requires a bit of my own elbow grease, I'm fine just doing that to save $$$ and...

Hey all, My questions are, what is the deal with this OEM grease fitting installment and should I do something different when installing the new one? Do I need to be concerned with the bearing and pin longevity because of this, and/or should I pursue any warranty stuff while I still have...

Just providing my PayPal refund experience here in case it's helpful: Ultra Light Pallet forks ordered on Nov 27th 2023. Filed dispute and PayPal sent contact attempt to EA on March 1st 2024. Just received refund today March 11th. In my PayPal dispute, I wrote something to the effect of "Order...

There's no rotation at this pin, just shearing force, I can see it floats around a bit when force is applied and removed, but it generally stays put.

Hey all, wondering if any of this near the one pin looks problematic. The right side welded inner support is barely engaged by just the edge. I just noticed it today. When I put the bucket down and put downward pressure on the bucket, I can see the pins taking weight on them. The right side...

I wanted to thank everyone for the suggestions and discussions. I ended up with an L2502, got the loader, bucket, and titan stump bucket. Let the (more efficient) work begin! My little man's jaw dropped when it was delivered. "Is that staying here?!" The best.

Thanks for this. I didn't get a factory cutting edge with my L (expecting delivery this coming Monday!), cause I thought I could put that $$$ towards other aftermarket solutions that might be better. So I'll either get a factory cutting edge + Piranha regular. Or just get the Piranha pro. It'll...

Yeah that's my worry about the pro, taking it off will definitely be a pain lol, if it's a regular thing. What kind of work are you doing without it, like for the lawn? Are you picking up stuff and you don't want the bucket to dig in? Scooping mulch? Some people seem to seldom take it off for...

Yes, it appears I would be. Happy to do it.

Interesting, and cool on the DIY setup. My decision for a TB was both sacrificial and functional. I'm probably leaning towards giving the pro bar a shot. It's made out of a much harder metal (hopefully doesn't crack under load). It's definitely pricier than std but the bolt holes should already...

Yeah the 2 is simpler. I thought the holes were already present in the bucket edge? You have a bad ass setup.

Yes, agree. :) Just trying to figure out what my right size combo is.

Ha, this is great, and validating! I've not seen one, touched one in person and after deciding to get one, the past couple days the thought of banging my shin into the tooth bar occasionally comes to mind and my entire body jolts.

Thanks all for the experiences! I was under the impression that the Kubota cutting edge would be redundant with a toothbar, and I should just get an aftermarket that served to improve bucket performance and strength/protection. Is there a benefit to have both the Kubota cutting edge AND a...
