FEL quick hitch for B3030

[Stef]

I ordered my B3030 with a quick coupler BL1767 for the FEL but I read on TBN that there's another quick coupler available: B2365. My dealer didn't inform me about that second one. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I'd like to have more information on this B2365.
BL1767 fits a LA402 FEL... Of course, if possible and if there's a new model of quick coupler I'd like to have the new model.

Maybe someone on TBN could give me more details about it.

I've included a photo to show what a BL1767 look like. I know that ATI is making a quick coupler "Skid steer" type but I'm really looking forward to get something from Kubota.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My understanding on the BL1767 is it will not fit the 403 loader. Spacing on the 403 loader arms and bucket are different than the 402 loader.
Is your picture of a 402 or 403 loader?

I think I may be in the same boat. I saw the quick attach mechanism on what I think was a LA403 and it appeared to have anr arm that could unpin the bucket. The pic you've shown doesn't look like what I saw. Now you have me doubting the models I was looking at... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I'm due to drop out there later this week. I'll try to snap some picture and get some more info.

Has anyone got any quotes on what the forks go for on these quick adpters? The quick adapter on the LA403: Are there forks that be commonly rented for the occasional use? I've heard most of the attachments for the skid stears can be rented.

Usually, the quick coupler BL1767 is made to fit on a FEL LA401 or LA402. The loader pictured is a LA402.

Thanks for looking. Keep me updated. I'll see my dealer tomorrow and I'll question him about that.

I don't have any quote for a Kubota pallet fork frame and a 36" pallet forks. But I have an old suggested list price (November 1st 2003). Here it is:

BL1767: quick coupler for LA401 and LA402: 239$
K9048: 36" pallet forks: 350$
L2077A: pallet fork frame: 544$

Usually, dealers sell for less than the suggested list price.

So the prices aren't exact but it gives a good idea. The question is: is a quick coupler BL1767 the good one for a FEL LA403?

About renting one... the Kubota quick coupler is not standard. If you want to rent attachments you'll need a Skid Steer type quick coupler. ATI will sell, soon, a quick coupler and a bucket for a FEL LA403.

When I bought my L3710 I had the ATI Quick Coupler installed I also purchased a nice set of adjustable forks with the same hookup What I can do with the "skidsteer" type connector is buy a blank plate ($99.00) that attaches to the coupler so I can weld any attachment to it, Boompole, Box carrier, Platform etc.

I just spoke to my dealer. He's looked in his book and confirmed that a quick coupler BL1767 doesn't fit on a FEL LA403. B2365 is the good one.

He told me that the the pallet fork frame and forks still the same though: L2077A and K9048. I'm not so sure about that...

Up here in Canada, parts are expensive. I got a quote for a pallet fork frame and forks: around 900$US. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Stopped by a dealer today that had a B3030 on the showroom floor.
Found that 403 arms are 3 3/8" closer together than 402 FEL. None of the attachments from the 402 will fit a 403 FEL.
B2365 Quick Hitch is the same type as the BL1767, using pins to remove FEL attachments.

The forks may be the same same part number. I doubt that frame is the same because of the 3 3/8" change in loader arm width.

Thanks. I appreciate a second opinion. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif We'll find out eventually... my dealer ordered a quick attach B2365, a fork frame L2077A and tines K9048.

I doubt seriously that a fork frame L2077A and quick attach B2365 are compatible. You said that the difference between a LA402 and LA403 is a width of 3 3/8" (BTW thanks for the info). The width between the pins on a L2077A and a bucket (54 or 60") for a LA402 are the same. But a LA402 bucket can't fit on a LA403. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif OK... I have a headache... I think that dealers are a bit confused because: new tractor models, new accessories numbers, new part numbers... The problem is: if he ordered the wrong parts I'll have to wait to get the good ones. That's all /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I got a quote for the Kubota QA pallet forks $750. That was for the QA on the LA403. Too bad they didn't use the universal skid steer QA like the L series has. I was hoping to buy a set of forks, use them for a season and sell them.

The whole quick attach is giveing me a headache. I've got a quote for the ATI quick attach- $685 (but that seemed high to me). I think that was for the ATI quick attach and the weld on plate that would attach to the standard bucket. The ATI QA and ATI bucket ran $800 -this would just replace the standard Kubota bucket.

All that and I still wouldn't have a set of forkes yet. I end up scratching my head wondering if forks are REALLY that necessary. I like the resale ability for the universal type attachements but...


Sorry no pics... The 3030's I saw were all still in crates.
