Detachable Loaders

[CheckerBill]

When did Kabota start putting Detachable loaders on there compac tractors like they have on the new ones???

Don't know but my L4850 has one and it is a 1991 model. Not quite as easy to detach as the other models I have owned but it does come off with no wrenches.
My L3830 had an extremely easy to remove loader. I could have it off including dropping the stands in under 30 seconds.

Just to make sure we are talking apple to apples, there's the Detachable Loader, that the whole Front End Loader is removed (On older model the bucket does not come off the loader, at least not easily but newer ones can have Quick Attach buckets)... The Detachable Loaders have been around a long time. The quick attach buckets (like skid steer buckets)... is "somewhat" new... in 2005 when I bought, it was not too common...

I'm thinking by the question he is referring to a removable loader not a quick attach (QA) bucket.

Well, I read one of his other posts "...brand new Kabota L4400 Tractor with the LA 703 loader with the BobTach plate...... My question is when [year] did Kabota start putting this[easily]removable type loader on there tractors? and when were you able to have the BobTach option??...."

He didn't get many replies, so it look like he was asking the question again. In the quote above, after reading it a third time I think he might be asking about BOTH!!! Just trying to find out which question to answer

If he means entire loaders, not just buckets, The Operator & Parts Manual for my Kubota BF200 (originally fitted to B6200 and B7200) is dated Jan.1986.

My early 80's B6100 has 4 pins on the bucket and 4 pins on the loader arms. If the hydraulic hoses had quick disconnects (can't understand why they skipped that part), I could pull the loader arms off in 5 mins. The bucket comes off easily in under 5 mins. It does not have stands like the newer ones though and the FEL undercarriage is bolted on.

Yes that's what I was asking "When did Kubota start putting detachable loaders[the entire loader not just bucket]on there tractors.

Also what size[if any]Kubota[other brands too] do you have to go to to get hydraulics the same as a Skidsteer Loader? I want to run hydrolic skidsteer atachments

I think that most likely you will not have enough Hydraulic flow to run most of them... Might be best to ask the question here: Hydraulics - TractorByNet.com

Your right, very few if any compact tractors would develop the flow that skid steers develop. Any implement running a hydraulic motor is probably going to be to much for most compacts. Using it for hydraulic cylinders like a 4N1 bucket or grapples would be a snap for most compacts. Skid steers are one giant hydraulic motor.

Even many of the skid steers don't have enough flow to operate the attachments. Normally you need to get the "high flow option" on the skid steer to operate these attachments.
