Buying Advice FEL for B2410

[ModMech]

For those that have this or a similar model, what FEL did you get and how do you like it?

We are SERIOUSLY looking at a FEL for our B2410 and our options are:

1) New (OEM or other) FEL on older B2410

2) New FEL on new Tractor (would go a little larager) with MMM

3) Buy a used FEL (lots of them around here), hope we can find a 'Bota.

It appears that Kubota no longer offers the OEM FEL we need and all the newer models interfear with the MMM so unless there is a NOS FEL in a warehouse somewhere, we are "stuck" with an aftemarket model. I prefer to keep my equipment properly "matched" as they say.

So, our question to the group is, what do you have and why. What are the up and down sides of the model you have?

TIA!!!!!

Mine came stock with the LA352 loader.

It has done some material handling, although we mainly use it for lifting. I also attach a plow to the bucket for snow removal in the winter.

It has always performed well. It should be easy to remove, although I have never removed it.

Peter,

When did you get your 'Bota?

Glad to hear the factory loader is well suited for the machine.

Motorized wheel barrow. Manual labor got a lot easier. Toothbar is a must.

It was around 2003. Have about 450 hours on it, at this point
