I have a B3030 hydrostat trans and a cab. The front loader has a quick attach front with a skid steer quick attach bucket. I have power enough to pick up items in the bucket, but my issue is when I need to pick up the front end to slide the mower deck on and off the loader hydrolics are very weak. Additionally I sometimes get the tractor stuck, and in the past with my previous New Holland I would use the front bucket to pick up the front end and push or pull the tractor in what ever direction I needed to get unstuck. My New Holland was a 21 HP and the loader had plenty of power to lift the front of the tractor with absolutely no problem, for either sliding the mower deck or moving the tractor backward or forward. This 30 hp Kubota just does not have the power in the loader hydrolics to lift and move me. I called the dealer and he said he thinks it is because they (at my request when purchasing) put on the woods quick attach front end and bobcat bucket. He thinks this made it too heavy. I would understand if I had issues in raising the bucket with a load, but this is with the bucket on the ground pushing down, that would negate the weight of the quick attach front end and skid steer bucket. Anyone else have any similar issues with their Kubotas??
