What's wrong with the L4400?

N8,
Here are photo's of the L4400's QA Loader. I needed these to show to a welder who is fabricating a cradle for my pallet forks.
Just replaced a 1980 JD2040 with this 4400 and have been happy so far. Compared to the older machine, it is a bit light (carrying logs), but I've been impressed with how much it can do for the price.
I paid $20,300 for the HST, 703a loader w/QA, and remotes.

I got right at 150hrs on mine and its done everything I have asked it to do. Only other thing I would wish it had was a taller 4th gear, it would be nice to travel along at least 25mph. Right now if your pulling 2100 rpms your just a tad under 18mph so it takes a while to get from here to there.

I got my new Kubota yesterday and had time to do a little bit of brushcutting with it at reduced rpms. I was very impressed. It was quieter than I expected and the fel bucket is much larger than I expected. I will have more time to use it tomorrow for various projects.

Congrats on getting it home. Its a great machine. Its going to do more than you imagined and it will be more useful than you ever imagined too. Have fun.
