Quick Attach Fix

SCDolphin · Mar 19, 2008

I had posted a problem with bending my quick attach x 2 on my tractor. The round tube that connects the QA paddles was reinforced with 2 pieces of channel welded over the tube. I hope this will work. If anyone wants a pict, I will post it.

Thanks

Sure, I'd like to see it.

Sorry this took so long. I gave it a bit a work out today and no problem so far. They apparently welded 2 pieces of channel over the round original tube

Just curious, how did you bend it???

I am looking at the B26 at the local dealer & wondered if this is something I should do when I get it as it is going to be abused to no end. & the quick attach looks the same.

On a side note how do you like the 4in1 from long I have emailed them about one for the b26 have not heard back yet, dealer said he could get a bradco 4in1 but has not given me a price on the bucket or the hydraulic kit yet.

First time I was pushing on some downed trees and second time pushing on small gumballs. I used the weight of the bucket to bend tree to case some of the root to come up then pop them out.......after a rain in sandy soil. I did not slam into them and always centered the tree.

I think that they are having trouble ithe the QA but ore being quiet about it. Do ask me how I know. Now the bucket does not sit level on the ground

Maybe just an optical thing, but the large loader tube looks bent (Pic#2).

I had the same thought when I saw the pic.

I did this in the first couple hours of use on my L39. I think it was my fault. I had just put the grapple on for the first time and was diggin a tree out at the roots and I think what happened was I popped the one side of the QA off (must not of secure it correctly) and continued to work on the tree a second before I notice and torqued the one side pretty good. Luckily my dealer took care of me the next day. Took one off another L39 drove 100+ mile and swapped it out. Haven't had any trouble since but I try not to torque the corners even if I have the QA seated correctly.

Yekrut...I looked at your picture. I have an L3830, and the pipe connecting the two sides is larger in diameter on my tractor. Aren't our tractors about the same HP? I think Kubota needs to upgrade to the larger, heavier pipe to keep from over torquing the QA support.
