- 2011 KUBOTA L3200 W/ LOADER, BH77 BACKHOE
As some of you know, I have had several problems regarding my trailer that I got as part of my package deal with my L3200. In short for those of you that didnt follow my other Threads, I was given a trailer that was unsafe and not rated for the load I was placing on it and the dealer made things right by having the correct trailer made for me. When I received the new trailer I discovered several .......lets say SLOPPY welds and corners that were cut by the trailer manufacturer. (see Threads: "How do you tow your tractor #1, and #2)
Now I have corrected all the faults in the trailer, and am happy to announce the trailer is ready to hold my tractor. I had the coupler welded correctly, and the old jack was trashed, and a New "better" jack has been installed in a better position. The welds under the trailer were corrected / re-welded, and support plates welded to them. Below are pictures I took this afternoon of the finished product. I believe I will get years of solid use out of the trailer now that it has been completed correctly. Thanks to all of you that helped me out by giving me advice on what I should do. I know I had "out of pocket expenses" by having the work done myself after the manufacturer screwed it up, but to me the peace of mind has been worth it.:smurf:
Also....I added some custom front supports (front Landing gear) with the Kubota emblem on them. I thought it would be a nice touch....you know just in case I need front supports for anything in the future!
