I am looking at buying a FEL with 4 in 1 bucket for my Kubota L3710, however, I have no clue as to the best make, or how to find a good price on one. If someone could steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Need help with new front end loader choice

I would go with either a BushHog, Rhino, or Woods front end loader if you wanted an aftermarket loader. Of course you could still get a Kubota loader for that model I assume. The reason I say those three aftermarket brands is due to parts availability and dealer support throughout the nation. I would also recommend a mid-mount loader instead of a front mount loader.
For the 4-in-1 bucket I recommend W-R-Long or Bradco (make sure when you order the loader to get a skid steer type attachment option).

What about Koyker? Is there a reason you didn't list them? Just curious, do they not measure up?
The reason I ask is I just had one put on my grey Kubota. Hope I didn't make a mistake.

As one who owns a Koyker 210 mounted on a Kubota L3710, I can tell you it can out lift both the Kubota and Woods loaders. And in my opinion, it is much better built. It is not as fast due to the larger pistons size and maybe not as “finished” looking. But from someone who NEVER recommends anything on this site, it is worth at least a consideration. I would buy another one in a heart beat. Not sure why anyone would say, “Wouldn't recommend them for a non-grey machine though.”

Gary,
Thanks for the reassurance!
I do like the "finished & matched" look of the Kubota FEL's but I simply can't swing that kind of money. Besides, I think they are just as tough and the quality is supposed to be very high from what I hear. I guess I will find out tomorrow!
