Rake Bought harley rake & 4/1 bucket

Sure! Should be here later next week. I'm having it painted The Kubota (and Challenger) frame color, it's like a charcoal grey. It comes form the factory Kubota orange which would look funny with my yellow & grey Challenger.

I think the buckets look good the frame color. I have done that with 1 of my buckets and some of my implements too.

I agree. I think that or black would be fine.

I sure hate the thought of scuffing that pretty Kubota orange......

Well, you could have bought a Kubota, but even then the bucket would have still looked better repainted.

Of course that orange is going to still show up after a little use, my red has anyway.

Any chance of pictures anytime soon. Really want to see that Kubota 4 n 1.

I'm having 7 teeth welded on, so it should be here Monday. Just in time for 3 straight days of cold RAIN!

YES! I got the rake & bucket last Thursday and used them to do a lawn for a construction job I did. The rake is fantastic. I can't compare it to a Harley brand rake, but this Landpride rake is a beast.

The bucket is great, too. Nice & heavy duty. Only bad thing is it looks like the paint will be mostly gone after a short time. Paint looks nice, but isn't bonding to the Kubota orange real well.

The only real bad thing was hydraulic connectors. Man, what a PITA Nothing on the tractor fit the 2 new attachments. I had to get 2 reducers & 6 new pioneer type connectors to the tune of ~$120.

I'll try to go over & get photos today....kinda busy in the office right now.

Obviously most of these buckets are being sold to skidsteer owners so the manufacturers supply flat faced connectors. Unfortunately those are also referred to generically as "quick connects" so it is easy to miscommunicate when purchasing from a skidsteer company. Good lesson for others though.
