Nice setup...thanks for posting. My future plans include building a grapple for my FEL. I like the way you did the 3rd. function for your 4-in-1. I'll be referring to your pics.

Those hydraulic lines hanging out in the open are a disaster in waiting. Drill a hole through the floor and run them tucked up tight to the underside of the machine.

Though I realize they are not hydraulic lines. (they are control cables to the remote joystick). I agree with lawn king, they do look very exposed.
Nice work on the whole set up. KennyV.

Look again. What you see are not hydraulic lines but are the push-pull cab remote loader valve cables installed by the dealer per Kubota set-up instructions for the ROPS model when the tractor was purchased. I changed the routing 2 years ago although it worked for a year trouble free. Take a moment and look at the pictures on the link.

I put in 100 hours with the 4N1 clearing serious brush with nary a snag on those cables but managed to re-contour the rad grill and poke out the headlights. Better advice would be to attach a wire mesh shield with side wings to the grill guard which I will do if I ever spring for that very expensive headlight assembly.

I had a B3030 hsdc, the control cables went through the floor and under the machine to the valve, far less exposed than yours. Im just trying to save you some pain.

lawn_king, no pain so I guess you didn't look at the pics. Mine is done the same way but even less exposed that the HSDC. Also my relocated remote loader control is more comfortable to use than the original mount (same as the HSDC) and far more comfortable than the standard valve mounted control. Wouldn't have done it otherwise.

I did look at the photos,1st photo, those cables are hanging down beside the floor on the right side, very exposed.

3 yr. old photo of Kubota dealer "factory" new install as previously stated. This is all explained in previous posts on this thread. Click on this for a 2 yr. old photo (previously posted).

Garc,

What type of mount does you HJ2L 54" 4in1 use to connect to the LA403 FEL? I was told by Long that I had to get at least a 60" 4in1 to get a skid steer type q/a mount. The 54" bucket is 85 lbs lighter than the 60" bucket.

HJ2L 54" is 255 lbs
HJ2 60" is 340 lbs

Thanks,
Norm
