Kubota L4740 sold. As of Jan 2023 I have a new L2502.
With the Kubota backhoe subframe you have to be careful installing implements. There is very little room between lift arms and the backhoe main hydro line. I already broke the hose that feeds the backhoe. Here is my logging winch install that shows this short coming.

Bend the female hose bracket up so the hose does not rub on the bolt and then move the bracket to the outboard side of the backhoe subframe. You may gave to use a stud and nut instead of the original bolts as the ROPS might be too close. I did that on my MX4800.

Thanks. That is make sense. I will give that a go.
