According to my dealer my order of the "official" stand for my Land Pride PD-10 is the first he has ever seen or sold, so I thought if anyone was curious I would post a few pictures.
I first leaned this beast of an attachment against my garage wall. It fell and darn near clobbered me. Next I ratchet strapped it to a 6 inch fence post until the wife objected to me junking up the yard.
So, here it is in all it's glory. Lots of upside down warning stickers about leaning on it or the auger but in reality it is very stable and solid.
One picture is the complete digger with a 30 inch bit and 14 inch extension resting on the stand, the other picture is of the bracket you screw to the bottom of the gear box between the gear box and the shield. Instructions show the bracket side tabs going up, but that isn't possible with the fitting on the right side of the gear box. Tabs down works fine and makes sense if you store it outdoors as it will shed water better.
I first ordered this through Messicks but got a call from them advising me the freight would be more than the price of the stand. Then I called my local Kubota dealer and was told they had a regular truck delivery coming that it could be added to for no freight charge. Price was $215.
Oh, it works well. Just lift the pole to the top link, then the lower arms and PTO shaft go on. Raise the 3 point up to take the weight off and remove the 2 knobbed bolts. Stand is not very heavy.
Don't know why the first picture is sideways, if anyone know how to turn it please comment.
