Use universal \"suitcase\" weights on Kubota
After a little bit of engineering and fabrication, I made a setup on my new L5030 that will hold my old "John Deere" suitcase weights whenever I don't have my loader installed. Here is pic of how it looks. It's all a bit dusty, but we officially had zero rain in So. Indiana for the month of Sept; a new weather record. Anyway, if anyone has any suitcase style weights laying around that they want to use on a Kubota "L" series tractor with a front brush guard, just let me know and I'll give you a copy of the plans of how to make the attachment. I don't know how much it will cost you to make it; I just used scrap steel I had laying around my shop. So far I've convinced everyone that it is a Kubota factory setup with Kubota weights. Shhh, I won't tell if you don't! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Oh yeah, if someone claims that they have a patent on this item, they are full of it. I designed it completely and will give the plans away free to anyone interested. I don't steal other's ideas, and I don't plan on making money on simple "do it yourself" inventions! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Keep those big wheels turnin'!
