Congrats on the new tractor. It's a real beauty. I have the rear wiper and the defrost on three rear windows. I use the wiper when blowing snow but never use the rear defrost. If the window start to fog up I simply turn the AC on and the circulation of that keeps the windows clear. Enjoy your new machine. Hello TripleR. hope all is well. :thumbsup:

Thank you I am hoping I can get plenty of years of use out of it

Taken care of you will keep it many, many years, this was my L5030 at ten years and it looked the same two years later when I traded it in.

Beautiful tractor. I am sure you will be very happy with it. On the SSQA hydraulic driven snowblower, you will need to find out how much flow in gallons per minute you will need to run it. You might not have enough flow using the tractor hydraulics. Some of those require an external PTO driven pump/reservoir to drive them. Remember most skid steers can supply 20-25 gallons per minute. But most tractors that size cannot. Again congratulations on your new machine.

Thanks for the input I will grab and install the rear wiper the side windows are a bit pricey

Man that is one beautiful tractor

I am wondering if I can put the rear wiper in or is it a waste of time and money also I can buy a ssqa front blower from a skid steer which I believe is hydraulic driven what would I need xtra to run the blower guy is asking 2700 do I need front remotes

I don't believe you will be able to run a hydraulic powered snow blower(not enough flow),they do make Rear Pto powered front blowers,not cheap.
I have a third function that powers my thumb,snow plow angle and tree shear.About $800 from Kubota.

I was told the pump is 53 gallons per minute that's not enough?

15gpm if you count the 5gpm dedicated to steering, which you really can't. Not nearly enough flow.

whew!.. that would be a real pumper!... Sorry no tractor near this size pumps that amount of flow thru an open center system.. Yeah the 10 gallons a minute not counting the power steering section of the pump sounds about right.. Keep in mind that a 1/2 inch standard AG quick connect is only good for about 12 gal per minute maximum flow rate. . From what I can see you would need about 18 to 27 gallon per minute for a 72 inch blower, which you would need to clear your wheels outside track.. I don't think this is going to work for you without the power pack on the back which is PTO driven to make that kind of flow

Crap ok not enough flow I guess it's plan b

The L4740 can have a "semi independent mid PTO" that could run your front blower. I have not idea what it would cost to install, but that is one option. Or you could still have the hydraulic front blower, but just know that you will also have to purchase the power pack for the rear PTO to make the hydraulic flow you would need to operate it. Of course a rear blower is much less expensive.

I think I will have a friend fab up a v blade and just try that with a rear blade

A lot less money for sure.

Here is the front mount mid PTO driven Kubota snow blower. I have no idea what it would cost to have the mid pto installed (check first to make sure you don't have it now). and to buy this Kubota snow blower, but here is the number of it.

Type: front-mount Kubota L2195

Man I need a grapple bucket went to help a friend get rid of a pool the bucket is no match for a grapple do I need anything XT ra after removal of the bucket

 

[C4Ranch]

From your pics, I don't see a 3rd function hydraulic connection. You will need that to operate a grapple.

Do you have any rear remote hydraulics?

 

[TripleR]

As C4Ranch said, you don't have a third function valve,, it would be on the right side under the floor board and on Kubota OEM anyway, you have to remove the step. An alternate method would be to run lines from rear remotes if you have any, we did that on our M8540. Another is to install a diverter valve, there are several threads on this. It's not as cheap as off rear remotes, but cheaper than the third function.

I know little about hydraulics, but there are a lot of other members who do.

 

[pardon my french]

Shoot!! It seems you have to spend money EVERYTIME you wanna do a chore I wonder how many guys have made their own diverter valve from say tractor supply for half of the kubota price
