LA203 Bucket on a BX2350

[jdubx2350]

Fellows, this is one of, if not my first post to this forum and it looks to be incredibly helpful to guys like me who are newer to their Kubota tractor. My question is as follows, I can get a smoking deal on a slightly used LA203 Front Loader for my 2008 BX2350, however, everything I read says to buy the LA243. Will this fit on my tractor and why should I, or should I NOT, buy it. Any and all comments welcome, I appreciate the help in advance.

As I see it the only way you'll be certain before spending hard-earned coin is to get your hands on (eBay, Google, find and download, another owner, dealer) the Owner's Manual for your tractor and review the list of available options and attachments. If you can narrow it down, get the latest version of the Manual; changes may have been written in over time.

Almost anything can be made to fit, but is that how you want to spend your time and money? I'd rather it fit 'correctly' and reduce the risk of financial loss and / or catastrophic failure (due to 'almost fit') hurting you or the tractor.

Please post back your experiences and decisions so we may all learn.
