I recently purchased a Ironcraft FRF-165 (165 cm / 65”). I’m running the mower behind a Kubota L5740 with filled rear tires and max wheel weights and FEL. Our tractors should be along the same weight. I think it handles the mower well, and is pretty stable. (Albeit I haven’t run it on any...

I use my heated garage to remove the snow. In all seriousness, Is the melted lake of water in your garage creating an issue? Does it migrate over to things you don’t want sitting in water? When I built my shop I didn’t want floor drains for a few reasons. I opted to put a 2% slope on the...

I bought mine from Messick’s, they said it was the last one they had in stock at the time (December). Miller tractor has one in stock: https://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/for-sale/ironcraft/frf-165/farm-equipment?srsltid=AfmBOoq0fDTz9ItzZvo0bgsFCL_hHwRb8McZ8QHFroIrtlzYx5O8zHLT

Del Morino (Italy) is definitely the gold standard in flail / ditch fail mowers, but my use is infrequent and I couldn’t justify the high cost for my application. Resultantly I recently purchased a Ironcraft ditch flail mower. I didn’t want a china built mower. The Iron Craft mowers are made by...

I’m about to have Brian add euro hooks to my tractor thanks to all the post from you guys. I like the idea of the rope for the top link, but don’t like having excess loose stuff hanging around the back of the tractor. I found the cheapest and smallest fall restraint yo-yo I could find on...

Thanks Hybrid and TMGT.... You guys have helped me solidify the decision to go to Euro hooks. Brian at Fit Rite offers a nice service for me to send my link ends in and he will replace them with the Euro hooks. Easier than modifying my implements, and it sounds like there will still be a...

I have an L5740 Cab and have been deliberating between a quick hitch, Pats or swapping out my link ends for Euro hooks. I've read many threads discussing the pros and cons. Pats and the Euro hooks are certainly the most versatile in terms of fitting "anything". Pats are a non starter for me...

I originally bought my three point SSQA adapter with the primary intention of using my forks on the rear, when I need to move a full pallet of pavers… or anything else that exceeds the capacity of the loader. But to your point, once you have it, it adds a lot of flexibility. I also modified...

I also posted this over on Orange Tractor Talks. For my TBN users, I wanted to share my new snow setup on my L5740. Totally overkill for most snow weather events here in Maryland, but it's "nice to know you can." Luckily we just had a couple decent snow events so I was able to test everything...

I purchased my Kubota front mount snowblower second hand a couple weeks ago. The first photo was the condition it was in when I bought it. The paint had been worn off of the fan housing and chute. Shortly after I bought it we had our first snow of the year and ran the blower. Running snow...

Have you used POR-15 before? How does the Rustoleum product compare to it? POR is pretty incredible, after it is cured you can beat it with a hammer and it doesn’t chip off.

Good to hear that you’ve tried it with success! Did you knock any of the rust off, or just roll right over it as-is? I’ll be doing the same thing!

Has anyone tried POR on the inside of the blower and chute? POR is super durable, can go over rust. I'm not sure how "slippery" it is compared to enamel or sno-flo paint. I'd be curious to see how it holds up inside the blower and chute.

For anyone else wondering these same questions (like I was). I recently purchased a L4479 blower and also had the chance to look over a L4474 blower at Messicks. I can tell you a few of the observable differences. The L4474 in general looks like it is built sturdier. No surprise why it...

A little off topic, but related to the L4479/ L4474 Blowers - I just picked up a used L4479 blower for my L5740. While searching for a pre-owned front mount blower, I came across a photo of this blower that someone had installed poly rollers on. For the guys using these blowers on...

Correct, they offer a “factory” air ride seat option for the L60 that doesn’t require modification to the seat pan. However it is a much shorter travel air ride that does not ride as well as the longer travel model that others have mentioned.

I just purchased a set of OEM fenders (from a Canadian dealer). They do still in fact fit L6060 and the install instructions even mention the provision for install on machines with a loader to avoid interference. See here:

While I don’t have a quick hitch yet, while modifying it I removed the plate that would have prevented it from being quick hitch compatible. But my plan is to have a speeco quick hitch in my future that can do the same as you.

Not the original poster, but I do the same with mine as he described. Here are some photos of the setup. This is a titan 3pt to SSQA adapter I modified so that it can also serve as my trailer mover.

Coupman, it requires modification to the seat pan, but you want a Grammer MSG93/721 seat. It has longer suspension stroke than the seat in the L60 series, and is likely cheaper than buying from Kubota. I bought mine from toughseats.com. It was not cheap even 6 years ago, but I was able to...

I’d like to see photos of the setup for those who have either used a electric or manual (ball) diverter valve so that they can still utilize the third function (for grapple etc), and also the QA, without swapping hose connections.

I was also looking for a more multipurpose 3 pt adapter. I elected to modify a titan 3pt to SSQA adapter plate so that I could mount any of my skid steer attachments to the rear of my tractor, but also be able to move trailers both bumper and gooseneck.

Underdog... Your posts / photos made preparing for my modification much easier. I ordered the same set of titan forks and a green-machine thumb. I mounted the thumb pivot bracket a little differently, but the end result was just about the same. The thumb just barely touches the forks at full close.

I recently bought a used L5740. On the way to New York to pick it up, I also stopped along the way to grab a used set of wheel weights. When I got home I realized the rear tires were already filled (washer fluid). At that point I already had the weights so I went ahead and installed them...

I did a quick search, but came up empty handed. Does anyone have any experience with either of the attachments in this combo? Seems like a pretty reasonable price for both items.... (i'm aware that that likely come out of China). 72" Root Grapple Bucket & 48 HD Pallet Forks PACKAGE Skid...

Reviving an old thread, I know - however this might be helpful for anyone considering this seat swap. I am currently performing this modification on my L5740. I went with the same components as 4Shorts. I called several US dealers listed on Grammer's website, but found that several of them...

For the past two years I've been searching for a ~60 hp hydrostatic compact Kubota. I went back and forth between the L5740 and L6060. Ultimately I decided I wanted to stick with the non-regen, less emissson controlled model. I also wasnt thrilled with the placement of the loader hydro lines on...

Can't directly answer any of those questions, but here is some info you may find helpful....

I am looking at purchasing a used L6060 that is not equipped with the factory option air ride seat. Can anyone tell me what would be involved with swapping out the factory spring seat with the air ride version? Doest the entire seat need to be replaced, or can just the air ride base be swapped...

From what I have gathered, Kubota offered one style of front quick hitch (which I will refer to as the "old", or L40 style) hitch during the L40 series tractor era. This style front hitch used a triangular mounting system, which utilized a female receiving bracket on the implement side. It...
