I can't take credit for that either. lol

I build the gray expanded metal part. I welded the expanded metal to the flat metal frame. If you look closely you can see the 4 nuts that hold it on. It can be removed easily for service. Any other protection you see is OEM.

Here's mine, I even made one for under the tractor to protect my hydraulic filters.

you said you welded it. I'm assuming you did a butt weld. Can you sleeve it with another piece of metal and weld it on? I think with a sleeve on it that will be the last place it will break again.

I've got to ask. How do you bend the mounting plate 3 times a day. When my implement is on correctly, it would take an unnatural force to bend them.

I would use caution reinforcing the cross bar too much. That is the weak link and easy to fix. I bent mine on my L6060, because one side of the forks (w/6' extensions) I was using unlatched and put all the pressure on one side. That twisted the ssqa mounts out of time. I cut the tube and put a...

famous words, "Hold my beer and watch this."

Why is the last place we look for info, the owners manual. lol Looked it up and the manual says clean the air filter every 100 hours. So I keep looking and it tells you how to clean them. Also says to replace every year. You guys still give just as good advise as the owners manual. Thanks again.

jaydee, thanks for the link. I was under the impression that these filters were made to be cleaned. After reading that article, now I'm not. I guess it's back to Kubota for another $75 filter. lol

5030, how many hours do you do a year. I only do about 100 to 150hrs. I still like to clean or replace the air filter when I do. I has a lot of dust in it. The air indicator hasn't changed, but I assume by the time that indicator says you need to do something its really plugged.

Ok guys, I searched and didn't find anything, quickly. How does everyone clean the air filter on their tractor. I know blowing air into it will sometimes pack the dirt in tighter. Is there an air filter cleaning solution that works? Just soap and water? Spray with degreaser and wash out then let...

I have a 2019 F250 Lariat, with the 6.2, with 45000 miles. Always had diesel to tow with until they got so burdened with emissions. I was plugging the exhaust filters. (not enough highway miles). I've been really happy with this truck, so happy I just order another F250 with the 7.3. Ford is...

I have a GR L6060 also and when I do the math on weight I was over loaded on my 10000lb steel trailer. I came up with close to 10000lbs loaded weight. Now, that was with my forks on the front tied down, tractor, loader and backhoe and I also have loaded tires. I took the weights listed in owners...

I like it on the tractor, especially when mowing. I mow in straight lines and have to turn around at the end of the row. I don't think I would have one w/o power steering. It might give you a beating in rough terrain.

I've had this on 3 tractors now. I keep adding weight as the tractors get bigger. I added a hook to tow logs, etc. The wing plates are so I can pick it up with my forks. Last add was the bracket to add suit case weights. The box is filled with old wheel weights and I keep my favorite chain and 3...
