Thanks Mike. I have been having some issues with the seat and you are correct - it was the seat switch and I have rectified the prolem.

My L45 has about 1550 hours on it and has been serviced by the dealer regularly. I was using the L45 last evening for a few hours hand bombing old interlock bricks into the bucket and driving about a city block and dumping the bricks into my trailer. I used the backhoe to loosen up the...

I don't know why but I couldn't attach this photo to my previous message.

Hi Mike I don't have chains on my L45 so I just have a telescoping snow pusher blade on my tractor. The photos are from when I had it on my B26 and it was a lot of blade for that machine. The Grattex snow blade I have telescopes from 5'-6" wide to 9' wide so if I want to lighten the load I...

Hi Rich Congratulations on the new L47. Having put approximately 1,400 hours on my L45 over the past five years I can confirm (as others have already said) that the Kubota TLB's are tough, agile workers in tight quarters. I finally purchased the L45 after graduating from a B21 followed by a...

Re: L45 TLB Quick Attach Coupler for BH .." weldable ears" or "tabs" to modify bucket Hi MEA As you can see in the attached photo the Canadian QA hoe setup for the L45 is much different and in my opinion inferior to the US design. I hate having to deal with the wedge every time I change...

I like the L45 but to be honest I always wished it had a little more loader lifting capacity. An L45 with the lifting capability of the M59 would be ideal for me. I looked seriously at the M59 before purchasing the L45 but the only one I could find was used and so in the end I went with the...

Hi rScotty The quick attach on your M59 appears to be the same as what I had on my B26. You remove the snap ring, pull the bucket locking pin on the curl mechanism and then you can hop on the seat and remove the existing bucket. You then swing the hoe over between the ears on the new bucket...

Hi Rich I don't have a JD 110 but I do have a Kubota L45 which is a similar size and weight. Here are a couple of photos of it in my old 14' Moritz dump trailer. After foaming the tires on the L45 and adding the cab I was having a weight problem with a 14,000 pound capacity trailer and my...

Hi Workinallthetime Attached are a couple of photos of mods I made to the Kubota 4 in 1 before painting it so you can see the differences. I found the hoses were not very well protected and spoil could also hit the cylinders so I increased the height of the back of the bucket by 6" and added...

Hi Wade M Here are a couple of photos of my former B26 in my 7' x 14' Moritz dumping trailer. In the end shot you can see that I have chained my 4in1 bucket to my forks as I always like to have my forks with me. For me I found that I did not like driving the B26 on as you have to put the...

Hi Anthony I have been using the Econor E78-240 78" blower on my L45 this past winter and have not had any problems. Because I have a gravel driveway and parking area I tend to push most of my snow into one area with my snow blade first and then blow the snow into a single pile so I can get...

If by ehydro you mean the Auto-DS (Auto Downshift) I think of it as a two speed transfer case. The HST+ has three ranges just like the B26 and I do most of my work in M. I have a fairly steep hill at the rear of my property and the B26 would go up the hill in M empty but if the bucket was full...

I am in the process of finalizing my third (and hopefully last) dump trailer purchase. The previous two dump trailers I have owned were both scissor lifts and they seemed to work fine. However my second dump trailer (a 7'x14' Moritz) has been a great trailer but I have to be careful not to...

Hi avc1830 I know you have an L45 so here is a photo of my L45 in a 14 foot 14,000 GVW Moritz dumper. If I park the L45 as far back as possible, even with four foamed tires (932 pounds), the forks and 4-in-1 bucket on the loader, the Laurin cab and my 12", 24" and 36" hoe buckets the trailer...
