Identify these Loader Mounting Plates - Kubota?

[polarred21]

I bought these last year at an auction in a lot of steel and these were included in the pile. I think they sold a couple of Kubotas as well but not sure. Can anyone identify them?

Can't think of anything on the loader or loader frame that is a big square plate.

Has this got anything to do with the way the factory shipped the bucket? Looks like the instruction say to discard this plate after bucket is removed and you then attach the bucket to the loader

I think you're right. Story of my life, wait to read the directions till it's too late.

Well that makes sense. Thanks for that feedback. There are 4 of them and will fall into a future project someday....

They look like decent heavy plates so I'm sure they can be put to good use.
