I have seen a couple of threads over the years about this subject, but had a hard time finding good evidence of fit... here is my effort.
I have a B2910 with a LA402-1 loader. I have envied the folks that had a factory solution to SSQA (or skid steer quick attach) because of the ease of switching between implements, and the economy of borrowing from your buds with skid steers. Mostly, I will own a 54" bucket (converting my current) as well as some light pallet forks for lifting/moving things.
After measuring and ordering and now actually installing, here is what I have:
The Kubota L2230A is available from a Kubota dealer from their wholegoods list (talk to sales, not parts). I think the list price was $436, and my local dealer added to their "next truckload" so shipping was not a factor. The L2230A was factory available on the LA513 loader, and is significantly cheaper than any aftermarket system I could find.
I removed the 54" bucket from my loader, and had the quick attach installed all in about 10 minutes.
The width between the ears of the LA513 is about 3/4" wider than my LA402 (see picture), I will have some steel bushings made to take up the extra space. I dont really see the necessity of welding the spacer in, so I will let mine float.
I have started converting my bucket. $120 for a ssqua plate vs. $450 for a new Kubota bucket made my mind up for me. I used my 4.5" angle grinder with a slicer wheel (.045" SAIT) to cut 80% of the welds, and used a hole saw to cut the plug welds holding the bracket "ears" on to the body of the bucket. I am going to find a 9" angle grinder to get the remainer of the welds... if that doesn't work then I am going to start plasma cutting large chunks out! So far, I am into the conversion for about 1 hour and I hope 1-2 more hours will have me ready to start welding the new plate on.
At any rate, thanks so much to all who contribute useful knowledge here! I hope this can help someone else.
