Members,
Mid-summer last year I traded my Kubota B7800 for the Kubota Grand L4330 with an LA853 loader. At the last moment traded back the Kubota bucket for a new L.R. Long 4 in 1 72" bucket at 515 pounds. I am not the least bit sorry I added about 215 pounds more at the end of my quick attach 853 loader arms. In the deal I agreed to a used 500 pound generic box scraper thinking it would suffice as primary loader ballast. Well, we dig a lot of clay on our "mountain top," usually uphill or downhill and I need some more ballast to easy the pucker factor when piling full buckets of dirt at 10 feet high. My thinking is a heavier box scraper. My best friend of 33 years (wife) says I should have bought the Kubota box scraper to start with...Any suggestions of brand and weight ( or other alternatives) would be appreciated.
