4in1 Loader Bucket on 3PH

npalen · Apr 26, 2022

I had posted a note or two on this previously but took a few more pics of the 4in1 loader bucket mounted on the three point hitch. It is a Landpride/Kubota actually made for the Kubota BX series with the single bucket cylinder in the middle and was fairly easy to add a bracket for the toplink cylinder to attach.

The bucket can be used for payload in addition to the FEL bucket as well as ballast for the FEL. The top link cylinder gives digging capability as well as tilt back for moving with a load. The rear mount provides visibility for the operator for picking up objects such as large rocks, debris piles or whatever.

I like that a lot. Not a thing that will be replicated very often because 4n1 buckets usually cost quite a bit and most people wouldn't pay that to get something that does what this does on a 3pt, but if you came into one and it didn't fit your loader and you didn't care to make it fit, this is sure the next best thing. Plus with the greater 3pt lift it would be a lot better as a tree/brush puller on the 3pt. Might have to lop down the tops of some things to get the bucket lid over it, but i could see grabbing onto some decent size saplings etc and being able to lift and rock back and forth and pull it out of the ground like you'd be able to do with a much larger loader machine like a skid steer or 50+hp tractor.

Never thought about the stump pulling aspect but seems like it would work well.
