What model tractor is this?

[Mosey]

Being an owner of <font color=blue>blue</font color=blue>, this is my first post over on the <font color=orange>orange</font color=orange> board. I'm in the market for an FEL and found this picture of a Bush Hog M246 on a Kubota. I can't find a picture of one on a New Holland Boomer, so I'm wondering how this Kubota compares in size to a New Holland TC29:

Hi Danny

I'm no expert, but I'll take a stab - L3010 or equivalent (DT series). It looks very much like my Dad's, especially the black panels behind the headlights. The text of the Bush Hog brochure talks about the loader being designed for tractors up to 30 hp. From the Kubota & NH brochures, the length-wheelbase-width-ROPs height of a 3010 is 112.2 - 65.7 - 56.7 (min tread width) - 84.3, and a TC29 is 106.2 - 63 - 54.3(wheels dished in) - 87.8. The 3010 runs 12.4 x 24 and 7.2x16 R1 tires, if that helps.

Pretty close, I'd say. I notice there's an email address for info at the bottom of the pdf file brochure.

I didn't see that, thanks!

No prob, Danny - have you messed around on the <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.bushhog.com/agtoc.html>web site</A> looking at the loaders? They have a pdf manual on it, with extensive specs, as well as the other products.

It looks like the M246 Bush Hog loader will fit the "L" series Kubota tractors (20-40 hp, 2WD or 4WD). Using different mounting kits for different tractor applications.

After I sent that reply, I looked up the TC29 on the M246 chart and found 3 mounting kits that would be available for the TC29. There are some footnotes concerning mid mount mower compatability, super steer compatability, R4 tires and the factory joystick.

I have the paper version of this brochure from the shopping that I did for my tractor last year. The pictures on page three are just a little clearer on the printed version and looks to me like the tractor in question is a L3710DT (just like mine, only I decided to go with the Kubota LA682 loader). I haven't put my tractor right beside a TC29, but I would say that it would be noticeably bigger physically.
