Is that cover still holding up?

good save brother

Well done! 😀

Thanks for sharing and I was totally amazed by your calm approach. I can only assume off camera the thoughts etc, however, these kind of things concern me considering I bought my lx2610 second hand without Kubota insurance because it was not by an authorized dealer. Anyways, I was curious if there was any errors on your part or is this something that was a freak accident that I should be checking before every use? I do not plan on taking off my front loader ever. My question is truly for learning purposes, because I know I would not handle this situation so gracefully as you did! BTW my grill protector is bent from the last owner, which I only found out once I got the tractor home. I have to pull hard on it to be able to open the hood. So this video made me wonder if the same thing happened? But a tree could have done it considering he used the 3rd function Grappler heavily. Thanks again for sharing

Oops, you FU'd really bad...

Just some minor preload no big deal lol 😅

Somehow I know how the manufacturer skates on this. In the owner's manual they advise you to check the tightness of all fittings, nuts, fluid levels, and air pressure before operating the machine.

Just another homeowner geek with tons of money and acreage trying to be a “gentleman farmer “. I have a larger Ford 4600 from 1978 and the pins never “fell out” since I bought it. Kabota is not a cheap machine. Do a walk around once in a while. Preventative maintenance works wonders.

Excellent

ouch... that would be devastating

Next time buy a big boy tractor, or use your head, I know there both expensive.

2 years too late to tell you to scrap the loader mounting pillars you would be better off with new ones. Once bent they will bend again , one thing is for sure ...those pins will never escape your notice again .

Lucky!!!!

To many people who should steer clear of equipment that don't is how these things happen

This is why we cant have nice things!

Were you attempting to remove the loader when this happened?

Same thing happen to mine it was one heck of a bear to fix.

looks like some ideot didnt put the pins in before using it

I'd bring it to a body shop that has a frame straightener. At least they could take proper measurements, figure out where to bend, determine if it's safe, etc. That looks like the kind of thing that kills someone if it's not done right.

I have used two other ways to correct wonky loader arms. 1) detach and apply a second loader bucket force for example with the loader on its side. 2) chain or strap anchor at a selected angle to the base of a stout telephone pole and use a chain/cable hoist or the tractor itself slowly backing away to do a back bend. This latter way also works to pull out fender dents (down or in) from cars or pickup trucks apart from tractorology.

you could have rectified that in like 30 seconds

these things happen !! farming with my dad and a cousin for 40 years i have Pulled hydraulic cylinders apart, broke the axle tube on my 876 Versatile (TWICE) , hit a plow furrow hard enough to blow out the front window on it , pulled the hitch out of a 54 ft field cultivator and other pieces of equipment . the key is to keep calm and not freak out!!! i have found that many time you can HEAR something going on before you can SEE it (bearing going out are a prime example). keep an ear out and check stuff over before you start up and then Keep your Head on strait and you will be ok things happen sometimes tho no preventing it!!!

Time to add another caution sticker

Get your money back

Cool how that buck attaches. The pins should have keepers to prevent them from falling out.

Just drop the cylinder out.

Not knocking the Orange brand but the Green loader attach is much easier.

damage coulda been alot worse. nice tractor

I see this all the time on compact tractors. People use them like forklift’s and they just don’t have the lifting capability you add the uneven ground and uneven loads people try to get away with and you. End up with twisted loader arms I have seen people lifting cars trucks and trees that are way beyond the limits. And sometimes it just poor maintenance not checking for loose bolts mounts and hoses

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to buy a tractor 0:06

That'll just buff out ;)

This is exactly why some people shouldn’t own more than a riding mower

At 1 minute and 5 Seconds he says I'm going to screwed up more I was thinking he was going to say cuz he's saying I think it's been and I can clearly see that the shaft is bent at least three degrees

I was happy when you got your legs out from under it. Nice save.

Those tractors can do a lot but they can't do everything

Same issue, thankful for KTAC.

yeah buddy, shiny brandy new tractor. everyone knows you got to have big giant shade tree to fix tractor stuff

I like how you remained calm and walked through this one step at a time. So sorry for your misfortune.

first mistake was buying a kubota......

Idiocy has no limits.

Your FEL has two legs to stand it on so you can decouple it completely. I used 3 different colours of spray paint to paint the different hydraulic lines so you can reconnect the right line when reconnect

There's a fold down leg, meant to be used when taking a quick attach loader off a tractor, but by all means, ratchet strap it to a building.

the first time you pick up 200# with chinse Korian junk. I burnt my junk. bought 1950's American Allis Chamers. Grate old tractors but no phone holders for city want-to-be farmers.

Let the kubota and peace of shit dealer fix it. Kubota is high price junk. Warranty sucks it's always consumer fault. F em

That is a bummer, my old tractor I had thought had a failing 3 point lift. But after getting the manual I found that it was only stuck in an odd spot. Hopefully your tractor can last many years.

Small tractors small problems. Good job not wrecking it further. When ever you start using a loader, do a 1 minute check and verify that pins are in place, the bucket is attached and no lines are catching, rubbing or leaking. Literally takes one minute.

Those kabotas are not heavy duty enough for more than scooping some horse manure for composting. Or moving a square bail or two around to the pastures. Dragging the arena, and lightweight work. Not lifting big logs, full scoops of gravel, and not intended to break ground. Should probably sell it in pink with some cute ears on the roll bar.

The same thing happened to me but not nearly as bad. It was still hard to correct. I was trying to reconnect with pallet forks attached instead of the bucket and it got wonky real fast because of the vastly different pivot points on the ground. Never again!

I see B series has this problem sometimes!!! L series never herd of

I would of had to straighten that front push bar.
