Anyone know the correct color grey for Kubota front end weights?

Here's a couple of pics of my setup on my 7060.

Hope it helps.

Stu,

Little off subject, but I really like how your weights fasten to the rack!!!! Very simple and quick!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to help me out. After checking notes, I see what Kubota did have figured it out. Altering my current bracket is probably not a good idea so I'll just order the part. This really helps a lot because weights won't stay on but only come on for tillage and that can occur on short notice when I would rather not be wasting time with the bracket. This will work. Thank you.

Kubota does have weights and brackets figured out but it's evolutionary thinking in that they are constantly improving the product so there could be multiple changes made along the way on a part.

Yep, I've noticed that over the years looking at member's pics here on TBN.

I'm too cheap to buy Kubota weights. Not enough of them around to create a supply. I buy any brand of suitcase weight that I can find that use the same style "hook". The latch systems vary widely though. Fortunately over the years I've accumulated ten 105lb Oliver/White weights. Painted with John Deere Construction Grey paint of course.

I've also accumulated four 120lb Ford weights. I don't like them as well because they are thinner and taller. Makes the bottom of the weight lower to the ground.

If you ever get over this far, I usually see 100# Kubota weights in the $40 to $60 range. Lots and lots of other weights usually in the $15-$20 range if you get lucky. I saw some Kubotas go for $20 ! last year and that included the bracket. Don't see these numbers every day but usually do at auction.


Did you notice that the pics PSDStu posted had shiny Dark Gray OEM paint on them? Looks like I will be factory correct after all.

I can usually buy suitcase weights at farm sales for .30-.40 a pound. But never see Kubota.

I noticed that Six. Your attention to detail is so far above my operational level that I'd never know if you had it wrong without your admission!!!

I've painted multiple sets. I've always used ROPS grey, as has my dealer.

Wow, I better try to hunt this down. I had one dealer tell ne it was the same color as the frame but ROPS gray is so close. Thanks and I'll check it out. I appreciate the tip.

Other then being around 103lbs they are not to hard to handle, and Kubota does make it easy to attach them.
