Can you still get a Loader for a BX1800

I checked at a dealer the other day and they said no.....Is this true?

Don't know if it is true, but you could call Kubota Headquarters and speak to one of the engineers to see if the loader for the newer BX models will fit. You might have to upgrade to the new curved arm loaders.

I just bought one for my bx1500 about 4 months ago. You can still find them. The dealer should be able to order it if not. He just doesn't want the hassle.

If you can't find the Kubota FEL, you can look at the Woods FEL. Just as good if not better. No pretty curved arms however.

Dunno... My B8200 is ancient for this forum, an 1986 or so

However, I did get a loader for it a few years ago. I had bought and used it for a couple years without a loader(had a scraper and rotary mower). Kubota did not carry the exact loader for it; they would have drilled new mount holes in a loader for a B2400.

For the price, specs, and a local independant shop with great service, I went with a Bushhog loader. They ordered the loader, picked up my tractor when the loader came in, and had it back to me the next day. I have had it for about 8 years; has worked great. Mine is black though; the distributor had one in stock; I didn't want to wait a couple extra weeks just to get an orange one.

One thing I will warn you about, is don't get sticked shock

A loader will run you around $3000+/- for a CUT or SCUT...
