Stoage in Kubota Canopy

[lzicc]

It says L4060... . Thanks for letting me know. I just updated it. You are correct, you are looking at the L4060. I think there is linkage under the plastic that leads to the valve.

Hmm, thats very intriguing! Not at all what I was hoping to see, but not because of you. Your pictures are perfect, thanks! Thats a good job by Kubota to keep it a clean install, but now I'm very curious as to how the plumbing is set up for the hydros. I was hoping to duplicate it without too much cost other than relocating my existing valve and extending hoses. Clearly that won't be the case.

And let me say, you lucked out on your pedal as well! Mine is awful! It may be nice for some, but with the size of my foot and leg, its a no-go. Very awkward to use, especially at first. I've gotten a little used to it, but still far from easy. A buddy of mine used it and his leg is even longer, and foot even bigger (we grow em big here in Texas), and he had to just get off, he couldn't do it. And he runs equipment every day. I'll try to get a picture later and show you what your missing out on! Haha. I may see if I can get some sort of breakdown on how yours is built and retrofit that pedal onto my tractor. Your avatar (or whatever the thing is on the left) says you have a Kubota L3800, but the signature says L4060. I assume we are looking at the 4060?

I have always failed to see the issue with the rocker pedals, of course the only one I am familiar with is on my B26 but it is very easy to use, I wear a size 10 1/2 boot, and have never had a problem. Perhaps some of the other models have a smaller deck but that could only be on the BX series. I occasionally drive my brother in laws NH with the dual pedals and that really sucks especially on his as it still creeps a bit after taking pressure off the pedal so I can never tell which pedal to push without looking. I like the large rocker pedal especially when using the back hoe because I can use my professionally designed piece of cold rolled rod to push the pedal to go forward or back without leaving the backhoe seat(it just swivels around from tractor to backhoe use). I don't know if I could push it with the small pedal.

I have a Kubota Canopy and am trying to think of a good way to add a storage shelf for gloves and stuff like that and looking for some good ideas. I can rig something up between the support bars somehow but want to know if anyone else have done this.

I've not done this yet but I am getting close to doing something similar to mount a relay/fuse box and switch box to the underside of my canopy. Have you considered using diamond plate for the shelf? I don't know if this will make sense but you could take a piece larger than the width of the canopy support arms and bend two tabs on either side so that they fit on the outside of the canopy arms and then cut a tab on the back side and bend it up to act as a backstop for your shelf:



If you really got froggy with it you could attach a piece of expanded mesh at the front with hinges hold stuff on the shelf.

I think the main problem really is location. The size would probably be ok if it were just in a different spot. When turned around to watch what's happening with a rear implement or when backing up, a person of my stature can't put his foot on the reverse portion of the rocker. Possibly someone with shorter legs wouldn't have this problem, but on this tractor the panel under the seat that covers all the rear diff workings hits my leg well before my foot gets to the pedal. The only trick I've learned is to hook my toe under the forward rocker and pull up.

Perhaps if the assembly were farther forward, and even better, also slanted towards the back. Or, as I stated, I've been considering altering to a different configuration altogether
