Hi all
We just purchased the kubota tractor, and had several factory options added by dealer, one of which was the 3rd ports on front of loader.
when unit was delivered with options, the addition of the controller location stuck out like a accident waiting to happen.
then to add salt to this,, kubota utilized a sheet metal protective cover, with sticker warning NO STEP...
first does anyone know why kubota determined the best location to mount a valve asmbly underneath and lowering the clearance by several inches?
second, the bracket on this, is very thick metal, and put a sheetmetal cover, that cant handle a person stepping on it,,, in guessing a stick is ehough to cause dammage.
I utilized the original cover, and extended it to mate to front bracket, utilizing 1/4" steel, then added 5/16" 3x2 angle for bottom.. you can use it to step on, might even use to lift it up,,LOL
dealership had nothing for cover options, no different kit, and no other location...
FYI,, I also had to reroute the hyd hoses to controller, since they were hanging down,, asking for something to catch on..
even the wife seen this, and said,, "that looks like accident ready"... is there no sticks and brush in japan??
