Loader Getting an L4150

[unimog_jason]

I'm getting an L4150 with a house I'm purchasing. I did an inspection last night and saw it is not setup with a skidsteer quick attach.

Is there a source for either a Kubota or after market kit to add the quick attach? I need to set a bunch of fence posts when I take possession of the house and I prefer to use a hydraulic skidsteer auger.

Thanks,

Jason

There are several company's making QA loader mounts for your tractor. You will also have to have front remotes.

I would make sure the hydraulic system is up to the task of running an auger... being hydrostatic, a skidsteer has a massive hydraulic system. A tractor, not so much, and a 20 to 30 year old machine even more so. The GPM of the pump and duty cycle, (continuous vs short burst to operate the loader or 3ph) are things to check. Not trying to burst your bubble, just help you consider all the possible issues. Regardless of the hydraulic issue, SSQA plates can be real handy, and make the tractor more useful. My buddy has an L2850, bought new in 1986, been a horse of a tractor for its size. I can only guess that it's larger brother the L4150 would be equally good, only stronger. Post up some pictures and details of the machine when you can... good luck!

The tractor has sufficient capacity to run a hydraulic auger. It won't run as fast on this machine as it would on a skidsteer, but it will be fine. I've done it before without a problem.

I know there are weldable kits out there, but I'm hoping to locate a bolt on solution.
