Re: It\'s Here!!!!

Larry, I remember now /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm off to the hardware store tomorrow AM for my washers. Thanks. I wonder if the L48 buckets work with the L39?

I got a price on a 12" bucket today......$775.00! Holy $hit! They also said nothing will be available until June.....unbelieveable demand.

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

You don't need a bucket anyways. Just keep poking that stump with the stick and I am sure it will give up eventually /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Its a good thing you are still excited over this tractor being new or else you might not be having a good week /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Sky,

I did not know the loader control was guide by wire....I like it. I like the positon and the feel.

The machine is definitely low, but it is very stable.

I'm getting used to the hoe controls now and really like the way they work. The valves are extremely accurate.

I'm still getting used to the GST. I just don't see the light there. I can't imagine how it will be productive for loader work. However, it must be because it's been around for so long.

Jim, that bucket looks exactly the same for a 121-3 excavator. Are the buckets exactly alike? Looks like it from the photos. Here's a pic of the bucket, looks like yours. If so, that's pretty neat IMHO. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

Blake, I thought all you drove were CASE. Those mini excavators are incredible machines.

Blake,

Is there anyway to get a closer picture? I love to know if it's the same! How is the bucket attached.....Is it a long steel pin at the base of the bucket? I'll post some more accurate pictures if necessary.

Especially since I was told no buckets would be available until June and a 12" would be roughly $800.00 Thanks.

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

I took a pic few minutes ago. It don't show well, however there are 6, 1 1/4 washers that help make the lynch pin pretty tight...

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

Rat, not anymore! LOL. I work at a rental company now so I drive everything under the sun, the only draw back is that I'm not actually doing work with them like I did my last job, I loved that stuff. I'll be switching jobs soon so hopefully I can get back into that. Here's a closer pic. of the bucket Jim, the bucket has a single pin towards the back of the bucket that has a snap d-ring at one side to keep the pin in. That's all there is to it.

Wow Jim,
Now I understand why you moved to that beast! NICE!

And taking the new rig into the mud! YOU DA MAN!!

Vermont mud at that!!

I think the only good thing that came out of my tractor accident was that my lawn did not have to deal with my learning curve during mud season. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

But there is always next spring!!

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

Coop,

Thanks for that picture. I've been out of town for a few days, so no TBN.

It really does look the same! I wonder if I could call Kubota and ask an engineer if it would work or not. Maybe I'll give that a try.
