- Kubota L2500 with Front Loader and 72" finishing mower
I have a L2500 with the basic Kubota Loader (LB400?). In a couple weeks a freight truck is delivering a 5'x10' pallet with a bunch of redwood on it (for a kid's playgound). It will weigh about 1500 pounds. Instead of unloading the pallet from the truck by hand I was hoping to use the L2500 to pull one end of the pallet off the truck and put it on the ground leaving part of the pallet still on the truck. I would then drive to the side of the truck hook up the other end of the pallet and have the truck slowly move forward and I would ease down the back end of the pallet with my front loader. Is this realistic? What do I need to use to do this? I am assuming I need a heavy duty chain to grab the pallet and some type of hook on the front loader to lift the chain. How would I secure the hook (or whatever I need) to the front loader? Would I drill a hole for the hook or should I weld on one? Should I buy some attachment from my Kubota dealer? What are the two holes on the sides of the front loader for? I have a heavy duty tow cable with hooks. Could I run the cable through the pallet and put the hooks in the front loader's side holes? Can those holes take any weight?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
