Front-End Loader Best loader for Kubota L3540

[Washburn]

In planning for the purchase of a loader for a Kubots L3540 I would be interested in the opinon of others as to the best available. The Kubota LA724 or the Rhino equivalent are possible. Are there others?

Friend of mine bought an L4310 w/of loader, later bought a westendorf loader for it, quite pleased. Heavy built unit, had it about 5 years now. Check out their website, I assume they would have an application for your tractor.

This picture is from about 2 years ago...



That's truck bed is about 13' long, I have no idea what it weighs. That loader with forks also regularly unloads pallets off semi trailers with three 55 gallon drums, about 2500 lbs total. Down is possible, but loading might not be possible, it's at the limits.

Get a loader with quik-tach so you can drop bucket and put on forks or a spear,etc in less than two minutes.

If you are planning to trade down the road;the Kubota loader is the way to go.I had a 723 on a L3130 and it was a good match.

Rhino/Westendorf/etc. make GREAT products. But I think in the "best" category an OEM loader is the way to go though, plus the resale value is probably better.

I have the 724 loader on my 3540, with the ssqa, good heavy duty loader.

I have a woods loader on my L3940 that specs out better than the Kubota loader that would've come with it.
