Ratchet Rake OR Piranha Tooth Bar?

[jeff9366]

Very helpful in addressing my questions. Thank you.

The Kubota L3560 is here. I purchased another Ratchet Rake. Decided I needed the short row of vertical teeth, pointing down on the bottom of the Ratchet Rake, for piling brush after tearing it out.

The L3560 has heavy LA805 FEL and optional L2296 (SSQA) HD Bucket. The Ratchet Rake fit on the L2296 Heavy Duty Round Back Bucket smoothly. I learned from my prior 52" Ratchet Rake, used on a 2,000 pound lighter Kubota B3300SU Tractor/Loader, that the two clevis , which attach through the bottom 'eye' on the RR and provide connection points for the steel cables, will come loose because the pins unscrew. So I found and used bolted and cotter pin secured "safety" clevis, which I bought on eBay. I have never seen "safety" clevis in hardware stores; they may be a marine specialty fitting.

The 68", 88 pound Ratchet Rake, on the 72", 397 pound L2296 HD bucket, attached to LA805 FEL, powered by a L3560, is a powerful combination.

Congratulations!

You can also substitute the correct size hardened bolt for the shackle pin, amd use a lock nut on the side where your cotter pin is on the safety shackle.

We had a similar issue with shackle often becoming unscrewed on the winch-attachment point of our snow plow, and that wss my eventual solution.

Jeff366 you sure your about your machine weight?



Dimensions & Tires:

Wheelbase: 71.1 inches [180 cm]

Weight: 3483 to 3880 pounds

Front tire: 7.0-16

Rear tire: 12.4-24

 

[jeff9366]

Jeff366 you sure your about your machine weight?

Fairly sure, but not sure, sure, sure.

From Kubota L3560/LA805 Operator's Manuals:

L3560 HST Tractor-- --------------3,649 pounds (presumably with Ag tires)

LA805 Loader----------------------1,279 pounds

L2296 72" Round Back HD Bucket--397 pounds

SUBTOTAL--------------------------5,325 pounds

How much additional weight should I allow for optional, heavier R4 Industrial Tires over standard, lighter Ag Tires?

Guess I'd go with your Kubota Manual over Tractor Data seeing Kubota doesn't do the Nebraska Tractor test.

Great looking tractor Jeff! Now you need a set of QA pallet forks! Makes moving those giant brush a breeze! My favorite tractor attachment by far.

I have the rachet rake too. I'm planning to get a piranha tooth bar as well. According to others above the RR will fit over the PTB.

I like that you have something on the back of the tractor. Theses tractors NEED 3 point counter weight. My front axle bearings need replaced at 730 hours because of lots of loaded use without proper weight balance.

That sounds about right. You have loaded rear tires?

 

[jeff9366]

You have loaded rear tires?

No. I run over residential lawns too often.

With the 1,279 pound loader and 397 pound bucket in front I keep an implement on the back most of the time. Usually a 630 pound Rollover Box Blade, sometimes my 772 pound ETA Cultipacker. The Cultipacker is especially compact.

May need a Turbo like Fred did to move all that weight. What's PTO HP?

He should be fine with HP.

 

[jeff9366]

What's PTO HP?

28 PTO horsepower. Ixnay, Fred; Ixnay, turbo.

After the B3300SU, which I worked hard, the L3560 seems to have ample power, mostly due to 2,000 pounds additional weight, larger tires and LA805 FEL.. I have pushed over several dead trees which the B3300SU recoiled from. The HST+ transmission is very fine.

The rather complex, mechanical, bucket-level indicator is coming off. It is too exposed for my work clearing Florida jungle. I will replace it on the FEL when it is time to sell. It seems to me bucket position should be an electronic display on the instrument panel, rather than mechanical. (When I run Kubota, I assure you this change will be made.)

Diesel consumption is about 30% greater than four cylinder B3300SU but I am carrying 30% bigger loads, which compensates.

Wow that is complicated! What happen to a simple bent rod?!

Glad you are liking the machine. One scoop should fill the MUTS trailer!

Ripped out Palmettos out with the RR today but had to load them in the bucket by hand, prior to transporting to the burn pile.

Nice! Now u need some QA pallet forks to move the piles! (0:

Now you need a grapple. Even if they are the grapple jaws the go on the bucket.
The you don't need to load the palmettos by hand....
