- Simplicity 6512.5; Kubota L35
Just pulled the trigger on a Kubota L35 with 500 hours, to be delivered in about 6 weeks. Since I will be needing to use a grapple to clear a lot of brush piles, I need to convert the front loader to a quick-attach ( it doesn't presently have that feature).
I would appreciate suggestions on which kits to look at in terms of best quality for the money spent, and ease on installation by a newbie. any suggestions re what features to watch for, if they differ at all, and whose grapples I should be thinking about getting.
I've also been quoted a price of "around $1000" for the dealer to install a third-function setup for the loader, to operate a grapple. He says the parts would be around $700, but I'm not real sure this is the project I want to start learning on. Does the price seem to be in a reasonable ballpark?
Thanks, all.
