How to REMOVE the Front LOADER on a Kubota Compact Tractor

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's been a couple of weeks since making this video, and we've taken the loader off again. We love the maneuverability while brush hogging trails and pastures. You can also watch our review of the Kubota L3901 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4C4nqFml5l6mLM

Owned my b7510 for 15 years and never had the fel off. Looks like a piece of cake! Thanks for the video.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

We take it off ALL THE TIME!! More tractor videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo3RVqEuA0f6IioXV6FtFhHW

I love that Bella hanging out with you. Either the fence is not completed yet or she found another way over to your property. hahaha 😎

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

The answer is B! Bella and Lilly found a way through the holes in the back fence. BUT, also, Bella can jump over our front 5' gate. I've given up on keeping her out and just let the neighbor know when I'm brush hogging as I don't want to hurt her. We've got two more fence videos coming up! Thanks for watching. B&D

Good informative video. I've never taken mine off (and likely won't, unless I get bored). I can see where removing it would help in maneuverability as well as deep cleaning and maintenance. The loader makes is a little more difficult, but not much to access the front end of the engine bay.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I take it off all the time now. Never thought I would, but it literally only takes a minute or two. Thanks for watching.

Yes sir! Now it's Crystal's

Thank you

I love watching your videos and dream of having some land to grow veggies as my house is all in shade. I live in Tampa. Gotta say though, I get very anxious seeing the dog running around the mower. Can you crate her when you are mowing? Or maybe build a kennel to use just during these dangerous activities? Looking forward to seeing what you do to the property over the next years.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That's the neighbor's dog, Bella. We have a recent fencing series where we spent a lot of time and money building a fence to keep her on her side, but she still finds ways to get in. We tell her owner when we are doing tractor work on the property so they try to keep her home. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

Very nice demo. Thanks for sharing.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It could have gone either way! 🤣 But it really was "as advertised"....quick and easy. Thanks for watching. B&D

[@BushwhackerMountainCoTV]

Really good information! Nice video, man!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's so easy....can't believe it took me 13 years to take a loader off!! 🚜 This is something we will be doing often now. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

[@BushwhackerMountainCoTV]

@@PineyGroveHomestead yeah I’m sure you’re glad you know how to! That will be very convenient!!

Great video, thank you!

The first time we took the loader off our MX5200 it was a bit sticky. After we took it off I greased the pins and the coupling where the loader connects. It’s easier to disconnect the loader the second time. Taking off the loader transforms the tractor when mowing. It feels like a much smaller and more agile machine. It’s much more pleasant to mow grass without the loader attached and it must be easier on the front axel not to have the loader attached. Most probably if I had a decent storage shed I’d keep the loader off most of the time, only fitting it when I need to use it. One positive about Kubota is they make loaders that are as easy as they can make to take off and put back on.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

We agree with all your comments! Our Loader Removal video on Tik Tok had 750K views and a common comment was: "why remove your loader?"

[@kdegraa]

@@PineyGroveHomestead it’s surprising so many tractor enthusiasts are watching Tik Tok. You could answer “because Kubota makes it so easy to take the loader off”. I find it a little more difficult getting the loader back on as we do not have a perfectly level surface or hard surface to park the loader. So when pushing down on the bucket it sinks into the ground a bit.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Kubota has a great system for easy removal. The L series is similar to the BX. I have to remove mine all of the time to mow my yard. I can’t run the brush cutter without the loader though. The front end gets too light. 😂.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I knew it was fairly simple but never tried it. Glad I did! You will see the L3901 a lot now without the loader! Made changing the oil so easy too. Definitely an "a ha" moment for us. Take care, Lucas. B&D

[@sth9460]

You did a very good job explaining the removal/replacement process. How does the tractor do when bush-hogging with the FEL removed? Also, how much does your brush cutter weigh? Thanks

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thank you. We take the loader off all the time now, especially for mowing. Here's a video of us mowing with it off: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYm5Znadh9hmpM0

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

5' brush hog weighs about 550#

[@zhenjiu]

Excellent video; well-detailed and great camera work. Thank you!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thank you. Since that video, we take the loader off all the time now! Thanks for watching.

[@ca49633]

Very helpful!

Thanks! Here's a playlist with other tractor maintenance videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo0LLO3hc5C4S1nwlbRDFXZh

[@robc6310]

Same on my B2320. Excellent and informative video

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

So today, I went to put it back on to do some work and I had put taken it off on unlevel ground. It DID NOT go back on as easy...I recorded it, but not sure I will use the footage!!

[@gregorybrown8756]

I have over 2000 hours on my 3901 and have NEVER come close to thinking i need to take my front loader off for anything.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Our loader is off more than it's on!

[@Dlcjr08]

Up here in the north we need to take it off to install a snowblower

[@SundryTalesOfConstance79WESTY]

Nooice! 😎 STOC

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@SundryTalesOfConstance79WESTY]

@@PineyGroveHomestead I learned a lot watching your video... especially that my Rhino loader doesn't attach like that to my Kubota L2500D...I can't find any videos to show me how to take mine off. I will keep looking. Thanks for making this video and extra thanks for responding 😎.

[@SundryTalesOfConstance79WESTY]

Rhino 2408 front loader. Seems to have its own kickstand built in. I will make a video once I get the tractor started 😎 Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again and best regards!
