what does my loader weigh?

[moloss]

I have a Kubota M6800 with a front loader (don't remember the model # but it's not a self leveling).....getting new trailer and was wondering what my loader weighed.....I'm guessing between 1000-1500#'s.....thanks.

Do you have a manual for the loader?

My manual for an LA402 lists the weight as 617 lbs and another 175-180 for the bucket which totals a little under 800 lbs. Not being familiar with your model's specs., your guess seems reasonable.

I would think that it's at least 1500#, maybe a little more. Estimate 2000# and you'll at worst have more reserve in the trailer.

You probably have a LA1002 Loader, net weight 1235lbs, plus 364lbs for the bucket.
You may also have a LA 1162 Loader(HD), net weight 1540lbs, plus a max 420 for bucket options.
Short anwser do what jb said.

Got a gravel pit near your place or a public truck scales where you can take it and eliminate some of the guesswork? I've seen some public Kubota documents be wrong when weighing their tractors (noticed this once on a Kubota website when comparing M-series tractors), so either overbuy on your trailer or be sure. Don't know if you've got spring weight restrictions in your area like I do, so if you ever see 60% or 80% signs around and you plan to float your beast around at that time then waay overbuy after knowing exactly what your tractor weighs and whatever other implements/future ballast/water/fueltanks you'll want to carry as well.

Oh yeah, weigh it with a full tank too.
