Bush Hog loader for L3830

[Saxman]

I am thinking of a loader for my 2006 L3830. Does anybody have any experience with the Bush Hog 346 loader? How does it compare with the Kubota loader? What would be a good price for a 346 installed on the tractor? On paper it appears that the Bush Hog has better specs than the Kubota loader. All input is appreciated.

I have a m6800 with a m446 bush hog loader on it. I like it pretty good, but with that said I just bought a L5030 with a la853 kubota loader on it and I like it better. The bush hog loader will not do two things at once very well. It won't raise and roll back or raise and dump or lower and dump or lower and roll back. That is why the specs are better on lifting part. Also you will give up some speed with the bush hog loader because it has bigger cylinders. If I had it to do over would pay the extra for the kubota loader. If you want power bush hog is the way to go. M446 will lift WAY more than the M6800 wants!! Hope that helps.
