In the southwest we don't have snow or mud except during monsoon season. Soil is hard packed with lots of rocks and a lot of sharp rocks embedded in hard pack dirt. These definitely have better grip than standard R4s. I haven't measured the same size R4 to compare to these but the lugs seem like...

Yes, I did see that it is done without the front wheels attached. Am I understanding the procedure correctly in that it could take basically 36 lb to 144 lbs to pivot the axle? That is a huge range. What lead me down this path is I have some noise that is coming from the steering when turning...

My L4802 came with Kubota's relatively new Trac Loader II - Kubota R4 tires. Which from what I understand is a collaboration between Kubota and Titan with Kubota having exclusive rights to the tire for the first couple years. I've had 2 tractors with conventional R4's and 2 tractors with R14's...

Question on adjusting the front axle pivot on an L4802. According to the workshop manual, if I am understanding it correctly, with the front of the tractor in the air it should take 36.2 - 144lbf to pivot the axle. And if it doesn't to adjust the pivot bolt until it is within specs. I have a...

My post "Deletes are now legal" was said with sarcasm.

Deletes are now legal!

Update - bought an L4802hst with a BB3584 box blade

Update - been using the loader and 84" box blade, BB3584, without any liquid ballast in the wheels or wheel weights. Figured I'd use it a little bit without any ballasting other than the box blade to use as a baseline and decide what I needed from there. It actually is doing really well. Of...

Haven't. Would like to add 3rd function just for a top link. Top-n-tilt would be amazing.

Recently bought a L4802 with LA766 loader. I received an owners manual for the tractor but they didn't have the owners manual for the LA766. Looking for the torque values for the loader to tractor bolts. If anyone has a manual and could provide the torques it'd be much appreciated. Thanks

Didn't even look into it since I have a quick hitch

I wouldn't be saying it - if it wasn't from over 24 years of experience. No conjecture here.

If you have quick adjust lower links and telescoping link ends, then I don't see where are quick hitch is worth it. If you have turnbuckle lower links with fixed length arms, then yes a quick hitch is worth it.

17.5-24. According to Rim Guard's tire fill chart take 57 gallons.

That's how I filled the tires on the 2502 - valve stem at 12 and run 15 psi. Rear, 3 point ballast, is for taking weight off the front axle for loader work. Traction comes from weight on or in the wheels. When the box blade is dropped weight is needed on/in the wheels for traction.
