LS vs. Kubota questions

[TSO]

I'm not quite following you. Try comparing LA853 to LA854 where the SSQA when from being optional to standard. The biggest change should not be in the lift capacity, but in the roll back.

how much does the SSQA components weigh?

If its measured at the pins does it matter which bucket or attachment method?? Just curious?

No.......

No.......

Exactly... The lower rating of the new loaders is either taking into account the heavier added tier 4 components, or is subtracting the added weight of the standard SSQA components. "At the pin" still means at the pin.

That makes sense, adds the physical weight, not calculating mechanical disadvantage.

If this has been asked, I apologize. But are these loader specs founded when attached to a tractor, if so what tractor size? Or are they published based on engineering data using pin placement and mathematics?

According to TractorData the bare, no-FEL L60's are only about 100lbs heavier than the L40's they replaced - unlikely to make enough difference to be revising the FEL specs. One would indeed expect the SSQA to make the bucket, etc., a little heavier (100lbs?). But still, that additional 6" SSQA gap has to make a noticeable difference in both curl and lift capacity, particularly with the smaller Kubota models the OP was comparing.

doesn't change the "At pivot pin" measurements. I can have a quick attach plate that sticks out 100" (exaggeration) ... But it doesn't change the pivot pin measurement. Now, I agree that the "At bucket edge" measurement will be different IF a SSQA plate is added, and the same depth bucket is used for the measurement. But, the 'Bota specs specify "At pivot pin" for the numbers I'm referring to... So, it makes sense that the weight of the SSQA components is what is decreasing the loader lift on the L60 vs L40 series machines.

Well, I pulled the trigger today. My new LS XR3135H is being delivered on Thursday!!!

Congrats! The LS really seem like a good value with lots of features. If I had an LS dealer local, they would have been my choice too.
