Loader Using B3200 QA from LA504 loader on B2620 LA364 loader

[rider0]

Hi, I understand from some previous forum posts that the B3200 QA from the LA504 loader can be used on the B2620/B2920.

I am wondering if the QA can be bolted directly to the LA364 loade from the B2x20, or if the entire LA504 needs to be purchased.

Also, it looks like the smallest QA bucket is 54" compared to the standard 50" bucket that would come on the smaller tractor.

I'm trying to decide whether the cost and possibly reduced payload capacity makes the QA worthwhile.

Are there any pin on forks available for the B2620's factory installed loader?


Thanks...

If you use the Kubota QA - it just uses the standard Kubota pin on buckets. You install a permanent "pin" in the upper holes on the bucket brackets - the upper cradles on the Kubota QA grabs those pins - and then you install pins in the lower holes.

The main question you need to get answered is whether or not the Kubota QA for the LA504 loader will fit on the loader on your B2x20. I know there are some people here who have put the LA504 QA on other tractors - but I can't remember which ones they were.

If you're looking to do this - I could take measurements from my LA504 so you could see if the QA would fit on the loader on your B2x20

I don't know if there is a fork frame available for the B2620's factory loader - but if the dimensions on that loader match up to the LA504 - then you could use the fork frame from an LA504.

Here's a picture of the QA I have installed on my B2620 along with the Kubota pallet forks. No modifications are needed to install it - it's purely bolt on.

Looks like that answers the question!

My research led to a similar conclusion.

Another tip: If you're going to use the Kubota fork frame for the LA504 loader - pay careful attention to what you use for the actual forks. The lifting capability of the LA504 with the fork frame on it - is somewhere around 1000 pounds from what I've seen (only a few inches off the ground though).

I already had a pair of forks that I had bought a few years back when I had thoughts of building a fork frame for my old BX23. These forks were worn out heavy duty forks - and they are HEAVY - I think they're probably at least 60 pounds each. They're also total capacity overkill for the actual lifting capacity of the LA504. I had some large rocks I wanted to move - so I was looking to get every little bit of capacity out of the loader as I could. I ended up getting a pair of 24" forks from Artillian - which only weighed in at about 35 pounds each ( if I remember correctly) - that gave me just enough free lift capacity to get those rocks off the ground.

I don't know what the lift capability of the loader on the B2x20's is - but by paying careful attention to what forks you use - you can make the most of it.

The QA from the 504 works on the loader for the B2320, B2620, & B2920. From my research, the loader frames for the 304 & 364 are identical. It's in the hydraulics where the 364 gets a bit more capacity. I'm not sure about the 504.
