Kubota Loader Buckets the same - LA504 & LA403 ?

[davatk]

Hello,

I am wondering if the Kubota LA504 and LA403 use the same FEL bucket ? Looking at a price list that shows the breakdown for the units, the "Factory Number" for the 54" is K352B56 for both the LA403 and LA504 and the Suggested retail is the same for both. However they also show and Order Code that is different for both.

I'd like to confirm this, I need one for an LA403 which is currently a less popular loader than the LA504, but if its the same I can probably find one easier.

Thanks in advance !!

Dave

Well a different part number when I called the dealer But I think the main difference may be the mounting brakets on the bucket. I believe they are closer together on the LA504.

So is there a heavier duty bucket available that will fit the 504 loader. The light material bucket supplied is a poor excuse for anything but grass clippings

Hmm. I don't know. I thought they were all about the same. Shows you how much I know.

They also have a 54" bucket for heavier use, I've found it to be pretty sturdy for dirt work, light excavating, and clearing brush.

I had a 50" on my b2620 that was quite tough I believe it will fit the 504 loader as the frame dimensions are the same.:thumbsup:

They are not interchangeable. Besides the loader arms being closer together, the pin spacing on the brackets are 2" closer together on the LA504. My question would be are the LA402 and LA403 buckets interchangeable? I have been using my Loader Buddy on my LA402 loader and loving it!

I thought there were 2 different buckets for the 504? The light duty and the normal duty buckets?
