I have a Kubota L3710 with a front end loader. It is stored indoors. Yesterday I realized I could add 50 square feet of useful space to the workshop by storing the Kubota with the loader and brush forks raised.
I prefer not to be crushed by a falling front end loader, so I want to brace the loader in the up position. I have read that it's as simple as cutting a piece of steel C channel and putting it over one of the cylinder rods. Is that really all there is to it?
I don't want to damage the cylinder or the place where the rod attaches to the tractor. I am wondering if I should cut pieces out of an old tire and shape them to fit on the ends of the C channel.
