- Kubota Tractor Loader L3560 HST+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3,700 pounds bare tractor, 5,400 pounds operating weight, 37 horsepower
Rollover Box Blade is Bush Hog brand. Some assert Bush Hog (brand) ROBBs are produced by Dirt Dog.
This one, purchased new-old-stock in 2012, arrived with a frame sticker: MADE IN INDIA.
Good quality construction but poor paint, poorly applied.
Width of this ROBB is 60", weight 630 pounds = 126 pounds per foot.
Tractor/loader is Kubota B3300SU / 33-hp / 1,900 pounds / Industrial Tires.
Factory Top Link replaced by HydrauLink, which is helpful option when operating a Box Blade.
Photos #1 + #2 Tractor moving forward, pulling sandy-loam. Low range on HST, 4-WD engaged. Loaded ROBB pulls easily.
Photo #1 Note latch.
Photos #3 + #4 ROBB now vertically oriented, so rippers are down. Here ROBB is emulating Root Rake, pulling out Vitus rotunfolia grape vine roots. Contacting big roots did stop the tractor/ROBB; had to raise ROBB a bit then OK to proceed.
Photo #4 Note latch.
Photo #5 Stabilworks rigid, pin-adjustable stabilizers @ 14 pounds have replaced Kubota turnbuckle check chains @ 4 pounds.
DO NOT PUSH A HEAVY LOAD WITH THE FACTORY TURNBUCKLE CHECKS CHAINS, THEY WILL BEND.
Photo #6 + #7 ROBB (with Stabilworks) in reverse position from Photos #1 + #2; PUSHING sandy-loam.
Photo #7 Note latch.
