Here's another option for all you guys who are looking at the Kubota pin-style quick coupler.
Kubota will be coming out shortly with the new
B3350 cab tractor. According to some of the posts here on TBN and what is shown in this brochure:
Products: B2650 Kubota Canada Ltd.
the
B3350 will have a skid-steer style QA available for it's LA534 loader. I don't know what the compatibility is with "real" skid steer QA attachments dimensionally - it just looks like it functions the same as a skid steer type.
I did some searching on the Kubota USA site the other day - and the parts illustrations are already up and available for the
B3350. The loader is there also (the new loader on the
B3350 is the LA534).
Looking at the LA534 parts illustrations - I first checked the buckets listed for the LA534 and the LA504. The part numbers are the exact same. Which would seem to indicate that the new SS style QA that Kubota is releasing - should fit directly onto the LA504 on my
B3200.
From what I've been reading - the
B3350 should be available in the dealers within a few weeks. Once that happens - I am going to see if I can find one at one of my local dealers and check out the QA. If it looks good - I'll likely be trying to order one for the LA504 on my
B3200 and go to that style QA. There are some other loader attachments I would like to add this year - and I would rather go that style instead of invest further into the Kubota pin-on style QA setup.
Just figured I would put the option out there in case anybody is thinking of putting a QA on their LA504 (or any other compatible loader)
