loader issues

[gray]

I have read some postings about Kubota droping the automatic hydraulic leveling system on the L48 loader.
To date I have had no big issue with it. Should I be watching for trouble? One thing I have noticed is when in float position is reacts slow in comparrison to my past L35 loader. Anyone have info on this change and why?

Another related question: Why don't the manufactures do more of the self leveling type system with extra arm geomitry as you find on many full sized loader/backhoes? One extra piece would give you a dead on stable loader bucket? I think?

Gray,
I haven't heard of any issues with the L48 or L35 but I can tell you that I love the mechanical leveling system on my B21.

My L35 had the leveling system altered by a previous owner and I got it back in working condition. It was not smooth like the L48 is, however the L35 float responded fast and the L48 hydraulicly leveled bucket does not. Just trying to find out what I can about it.
