Kubota L5740: can snowblower subframe stay on when using the FEL ?

rdpowell · Dec 11, 2008

L5740 -- Can you attach the FEL without taking the front mount snow blower subframe off ? The sb and subframe have not arrived yet so I have nothing to look at. Dealer could not answer question. During the winter it would be nice to use the loader without taking the subframe on & off each time. I would think the sb on & off would be an easy 2 minute job, but hoping the subframe can stay on until spring.

We just delivered a 3940 last nite with a blower and loader. We left the subframe on and mounted the loader and had full manuverability with the loader which with QT pallet forks loader and unloaded the snowblower. The chassis is close to the ground for getting off a main roadway so be carefull where you go!

Art: what do you think the ground clearance is ? 5-6 inches ? I have R1 tires (26") so may be a little more space. I have a deckover type trailer. Do you think the subframe may hit when loading ?
