We have 141 hrs on this Kubota and just had loader handle just fall off. We were mowing with bush hog and not even touching handle. Appears it was only welded in 2 small spots on plate. Of course out of warranty and having to buy new parts. Anyone else have issues with this model?

I have 210hrs on my B2920 and have used the loader a lot. So far no problems with the loader control handle. Is this something that you could get somebody to weld back together for you cheaper than replacing?
The plate appears to be warped. We are going to straighten and reweld joint. Just wondering if anyone else had similar issues. Thx
While using the FEL moving mulch the handle completely left the mounting plate. Like stated above stick was only welded on in two places. the mounting plate was only about 1/8 inch thick. the stick is 1/2 thick approx. I made a new mounting plate 1/4 inch thick and completely welded the stick to new plate and used longer screws. Now it is rock solid. Any machine shop should be able to do this for less than cost of new unit. I did this July 15 when I had about 375 hours on B2920
