    Wow, that is a NICE upgrade. Are you gonna get forks or a grapple for it? That one will have plenty of power

    I have forks and a rock grapple. I moved one of my wood racks with it yesterday and it did it easily.

    Just some info for Kubota lovers; if you multiply the loader model by 2.2 that’s how many pounds it can lift.

    “The front loader that was first built for the BX1800 and BX2200 was the LA211. It offered a useable 460 lbs (210 kg) of lift capacity. FYI if you're wondering what the loader model numbers mean??? This is the lift capacity of the loader in kilograms so if you convert this to pounds you’ll get the rated lift capacity Kubota designed this loader to handle”

    I don’t know how far that goes back, I do believe most newer ones are like that.

    We've gotta work on hand signals a bit, but sure saved me some running about, and climbing on & off the tractor.
