I've never tried this, but thought I'd like to so I can get into some tight spaces in my woods when clearing and making plots. Is this a pain in the ***** to do?

Coming off is easy, going back on can be more challenging. Set the loader on a hard fairly level surface so the legs don't settle in. Use the bucket curl/dump to tip the loader arms in and out of the locking frame.

Also be sure to bleed pressure on the quick disconnects before disconnecting, otherwise reconnecting can be a PITA.

Thanks for the welcome, Murphy. For the other guys, do you know of a youtube demo on this? I find some for the Kubota, but I'm sure the arms and locking pins and such are different. Thanks much!

I took the loader off my dk40 before the snow came so I could put the front mount blower on. I had to put the loader on last weekend and learned a couple things:

- A couple inches of packed snow and ice can make a difference.
- you need to be lined up almost square to the loader, if it wasn't frozen in the ground I could have bumped it a bit to bring it square to the tractor.
- clear the ice out of the loader frame pockets, that's where I REALLY got burnt.
- level ground is your friend.

In the end I got it on, but it was a bit of fight.
