BH on 5030 HSTC

[chapmx]

Still researching a new tractor purchase and after spending many hours on my old ford in 95 degree + heat w/ 100% humidity that cab option on 5030 is looking real nice. Has anyone been able to install a BH on 5030 with CAB. What BH? Any mods required to tractor/CAB/BH? If I can get a BH on the CAB version of 5030 I think it has won my dollars. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks.

Woods or Bradco - not Kubota.

I assume that implies that it will be a 3pt vs a subframe BH?

Thanks.

Woods and Bradco make subframe models that will fit, Kubota does not. Theirs will hit the glass.

Does that give Kubota a "Here's Your Sign" reply?

Note you sit outside on the hoe to run it.

Thanks for the info. That definitely puts the 5030HSTC at the head of the list. Does anyone have any opinions on the quality of the Kubota BH VS that of the WOODS or Bradco?

Thx

Yep, that seems to make no sense to me. Just because I want access to a BH does not mean that I still would not like the comforts of home when doing other task. The Kubota dealer did not mention these 3rd party options when I was looking at CAB unit which almost pushed me to JD (since Kubota CAB option not compatible with BH, the lack of OEM CAB option from JD was moot). If not for this forum I like many other "newbies" would be clueless!

Thanks for the knowledge!

Tim,
I have a Woods BH mounted on my 3430HSTC and it works great. It's a 4 point subframe mount. Real easy to put on and remove. Wood's makes the same mount for a 5030HSTC.

You are going to LOVE the kubota cab. It's got a super cool A/C ... I just got the 3430hstc and I still can't seem to get the grin
off my face after mowing yesterday when it was 97 deg outside. The cab is worth every penny... Good luck with your purchase...

Tim,
Here's some photos of my 3430HSTC with the Wood's BH mounted.

and one more. I've had this BH for 6 years now with no problems whatsoever. The Woods BH is as well-built as any BH on the market. When I'm ready to get a larger one, it will be a Woods.

Bill,

Thanks a bunch for the pictures. Since I can get a Woods BH to work with the CAB it looks like I will be getting the Kubota. I will be traveling next couple of weeks but once I am back I will be talking to the local Kubota dealer(s) and see if I can get a decent price ironed out. Hopefully I will be a Kubota owner by sometime in September!

[buckeyefarmer]

is that a 3 point model or do you have subframe?

 

[slowzuki]

The pics show a subframe style mounting.

 

[kubotabilly]

buckeyefarmer,
It's actually a 4 point subframe mount from woods. Here are some more subframe photos.
