L4400 Front weight bracket question

[GLC]

I have an L4400 with the LA703 front end loader. The tractor/loader came with the front grill guard installed.

If I take the loader off for field work, can I hang Kubota front weights on the grill guard? Or, is the Kubota weight bracket totally different than the grill guard?

Pictures of the weight brackets would be appreciated if anyone has any handy.

Thanks!

Look about half down this PDF file. There is an L4400 raking hay with front weights. It looks t be the standard front guard with suitcase weights hanging on it

Looks like it will work. I found another thread which had similar information and indicated that four Kubota weights, about 200 lbs, will hang on the grill guard.

Do any other tractor manufacturer's weights also fit Kubota? For example, Is there any kind of "standard" hang on weights that will work also?

That kind of weight is a standard any dealer should be able to get them in an aftermarket form

I built a grill guard for my L4300 that is similar. It has a flat piece of steel that bolts to the front and I hang weights on that.
The Kubota weights were too expensive so I bought New Holland skid steer knock-off weights @60 lbs each and used them. They fit the front of my JD 790 too. There are a zillion of them around and the knock-offs came cheap from a dealer. Ask if you want a photo.

That is my one problem with Kubota; accessories such as weights and lights and such cost an arm and a leg and are still hard to come by. When I needed a larger size steel wheel for my M8950 years ago it was cheaper for me to buy new commercial wheels with a different bolt pattern and have Unverferth Corp cut out a 10" center circle and replace the steel with a different bolt pattern section.
