The tires would "scrub" just fine on dirt. make sure you have the maximum air pressure in the tires. Once I started up the hill just around that turn, I ran 300" of 3/8 cable to a snatch block attached to a big poplar tree. I connected one end to the shipping container and the other end...

This is what I use one on the loader and One on the grapple also

I bought the axle hubs from Northern Tool and welded the units up from some 4 inch tubing I had out of the demo scrap pile. Welded gusseted angle iron ears on the top of the tube to bolt to the shipping container oval corner hold downs, used some 1" bolts and nuts and it worked very well. It may...

The next one I no longer had the loader dozer on site and built some axles that bolted to the container corner pockets and winched it up the access road.

This is how I moved one of mine up the mountain from the drop off point at the state road. Loader dozer and 3/8" chains.

I built one also. Harbor freight sells the bare mounting plate or the receiver hitch mount assembly. I set mine up for receiver hitch mounting and self powered with a deep cycle battery mounted to the rig. I also added a "D-ring" to use when double lining. This saved a considerable amount of...

Thought I'd start a new post for the update on the 3rd function install on my L4240. Well I finally got it all installed and it is a much cleaner installation than the factory setup. I found some space underneath the seat for the solenoid valve. Just needed to fabricate a mounting plate for...

You'll need to make some modifications to the HF sandblaster. The bottom tank valve is famous for clogging up. It needs to be replaced with some larger pipe and valve. The POS nozzle valve that comes with the HF sandblaster will need replacement also. I bought a Northern Tool deadman style for...

This is what I ordered for my L4240. I did have to machine a bushing to adapt the JD control handle to the Kubota 13mm loader shaft. The JD handle is nice ergonomic design. You will need to use relays since the handle switches don't have a high amperage capacity. There is another part...

I need some measurements please. Someone with a factory Kubota BH92 hydraulic thumb, could you please measure the hydraulic cylinder for me?? I currently have the mechanical thumb that I wish to convert to hydraulic. So I'll need the cylinder diameter, overall length closed and overall length...

Here's a spread sheet of the parts required to install a true third function. I just installed this on my L4240 for grapple control. All of the mounting plates I custom made. I'll be doing a write up on the installation soon. I tried to order this installed at the dealer but the factory kit...

I was brought to my attention from a fellow Tractor by net member that Northern tool has their hydraulic wrench set on sale for half price. $20.00 for the set. I may buy a second set to keep in the barn. Northern Industrial Tools SAE Angle Wrenches — 14-Pc. Set | Angle Box Wrenches| Northern...

Here's the part numbers. The switch part number shown only has the two switches for the third function. There is another part number for the wiring harness that has the three switches. Not sure what that number is. i know it's quite a bit more expensive.

Like the title says Need a measurement for a L4240 Loader control handle shaft diameter. The measurement needs to be off of a NON third function Kubota. When my L4240 was delivered I forgot to measure the loader control handle shaft diameter. Worst thing, it was on my list of things to do and...
