Mounting and dismount loader on a cabbed tractor.

Utopia Texas · Jan 20, 2015

I use my bucket too much during the mowing season to bother removing the whole system. I just remove the bucket and leave the frame, hydraulics on the tractor. I see no advantage, in my case, to remove the whole unit. I only remove everything in the rare case I am taking the tractor to the dealership for regular maintenence.

I have a jd 4320 with cab and 400 loader I take it off every time I cut the grass and or do not need it on only 2 release levers no feet to put down the feet are integral to the loader best to do on concrete It is more difficult on ground you can break the bottom front windows if you are not careful really easy jd had a video on their Web site

I routinely remove my FEL BUCKET only as my seasonal change over as I use a front snowplow combined with rear blower.

In my case I remove only the bucket as I use the FEL arms to lift the plow via chain length.
This way I am as short as possible for maneuverability.

The 4 bucket pins take all of probably 5 mins to remove and maybe 10 to re-install when I re-attach the bucket.

You might also consider the bucket removal option.

I have a soft cab on my 2320. I assume the loader removal is the same on the larger ones. The only difference is that, without the cab, I kick the release levers open with my feet while seated on the tractor. With the cab on, I have to get off and release it by hand.

I am using a cab 3046r. I tend to leave the FEL on there all the time, just drop the bucket for mowing [easier on the house that way...].
The EASE of dismounting the FEL is very easy. Just keep a close eye on the GLASS where the FEL mounts when you are mounting it.
I like the balance of mowing [rear mowers, rough or finish] with the FEL [sans bucket]. Keeps me from having to buy front weights, etc.

Roy, on a Kioti there is no more hassle to remove the FEL with or without a Cab. That said I leave the Loader arms on and just remove the bucket. Even with the extra weight of the Cab and Loader my CK35 does a great mowing job with a rear finish mower.
