Who's made a claim on their kubota insurance?

If the tree does not work, you can extend the side that is not racked as far as it can go, then remove the loader, undo one of the fittings so there is no hydrolic pressure in the line, and manually pull the loader arm back to where it needs to be. Probably take 15 minutes.

The are synced with a three inch tube, don't think I'll be able to manually twist that sucker back. Heading out in a few to try the tree before church.

If bending it back straight isn't working out, cut the timing tube, put the bucket on to line up the QA, reweld/paint the tube

Well, hydrolicis didn't come close and low gear just spun but medium got it sorted:thumbsup:

Thanks guys.

Awesome you got it fixed, but we said big tree, not a pine toothpick!

That timing rod is a lot bigger than the one on smaller Kubotas (they are normally just 1" diameter) so I can see why it was harder to twist it back to straight in this case.

Hey, that's a big tree on my property:confused3:

Yeah, I actually had to give it about 5' of lead and hit it before is started to move. After the first move I was worried about over correcting it.

Actually, I'm the same here -- aside from some big oaks, beeches, and cypresses that were never logged because they are hard to get to, most everything else on my property is pine that was planted in the early 90s. I think the biggest one is maybe 16" diameter. Most others are 6-12" diameter.

bungie cord on the levers will keep that from happening

My guess is he was hooking up with only one side in the channel and curled bucket, twisting the round tube that connects each side. Done that. You can fix it by putting it against a big tree.

I have used ktac and it was fast. As fast as it takes to order a part.

I have no idea what "Kubota Insurance is." I do know that my MF 2660 has a 2" square tube across between the two sides of the loader adapter for skid steer compatibility plates (like the two Kubota ones of which you show in the picture.) Unable to see from the tractor seat, I picked up an 1100 lb 4-in-1 bucket but only had one of the two plates engaged, exactly as you show in the picture. It bent the living H outta my cross member which had to be replaced. I think you will find that the tubular cross member on your Kubota loader is EITHER bent or else you broke welds on it. I'd find out which before I 'd go unbending it with force. One of the reasons I like the larger Kubota loaders is they come with skid-steer compatibility in native mode rather than an add-on like my MF. The larger Kubotas (like the LA1353 loaders) look to me like the cross member is too strong to bend like that. Maybe not ?

KTAC is the Kubota insurance company. It almost always ends up being cheaper with better coverage, lower deductible & covers you in any use case (not just on your property) when compared to adding your tractor to a homeowners policy.
