Loader Does anyone know the weight of the standard 48" Kubota bucket?

Hi,

Does anyone know the weight of the standard 48" Kubota bucket (OEM with the LA304 loader for B-series tractors)?

We're looking at the new EA grapple, but unsure if it weighs more than our bucket??

I looked for it on all the specs on all the sites I could find and didn't see it broken out from the loader as a separate unit.

Thanks,

Thomas

I have never found that spec online, but it was listed in my loader manual for my LA463 and 60" bucket.

Mine weighs 260#, so I would throw out a guess of 230ish on yours

It's not that heavy, the manual for my LA 364 lists the 304 bucket at 121#

That just doesnt seem like enough to me.. I can pickup 121 lbs. the 60 inch bucket I still have off of the Kubota La463 seemed to weigh what LD1 says. about 260 lbs. and I would think that a bucket a foot shorter would be a fair amount less but just 121 lbs.?. that just seems too light. Of course I could be full of crap, and probably am...

I agree that seems light, but the 50" for my 364 is only listed at 150#. But I'm not attesting to the validity of the data, only reporting what's printed.

Yea, that seems too light.

I know its listed in the loader manuals.

Anyone have a LA304 manual care to take a look and clue us in??

I think my manual is the 304 manual, and it's also for the 364 and 504 (I think).

My manual for my la304 loader on a B2320 tractor lists the bucket weight at 121 lbs.

wow, that is light:shocked:

Kubota lists it at 121 pounds.

I was going ask USA or CA pounds, but I'll just say Thanks to all of you instead.

Hard to say since the conversion rate changes every day.
