05 Kubota B3030 ROPS
[SIZE=+1]Freshly painted (2006) 54" W.R. Long 4N1 bucket in Kubota orange; available in any color as Long as it is black. [/SIZE]There is a small weight premium and somewhat reduced volume but it more than doubles the usefulness of this tractor! (Cab remote joy stick factory install by dealer on ROPS model when B3030 purchased in 2005. Relocated 2006 after this pic taken: scroll down)

Haven't found a handle/switch I like so I added my own switch.
Looks flimsy and unfinished but has worked extremely well for 12 years 500 hours and only 1 replacement.

Relays are necessary for low current micro switch above.

W.R. Long supplied the HyVair 3rd function solenoid actuated directional control valve which I mounted on the loader frame to operate the 4N1. The Kubota rear remote which is now used by the Top-N-Tilt donated it's (grey) quick coupler which I relocated to the loader control valve.

Hose routing from the quick coupler to the 4N1.

Cab style remote loader joy stick relocation sequence (2006). This puts the handle in the palm of my hand and my elbow 3" back on the arm rest (wife's elbow in pic). Control handle tucked inside the fender improves right side boarding and exit. Cables through the floor have less exposure to snags.
