Kubota Quick Coupler

[roaf3x]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone comment on the quality of the Kubota brand quick coupler.

There are no aftermarket (horst ATI) yat as the loader LA 524 on L3200 is

pretty new. I know the old ones did not fit well and popped off.

Do they fit standard skid steer plates well or are they sloppy.

Refabbing a new tractor is something I would like to avoid.

Thoughts ? Pictures? or Comments are all appreciated!

Cheers,
RD

I have a Kubota QA on my FEL and it fits very well. I bought some blank plates to fab up a few attachments and they fit nice as well.

The quick attach on my tractor works great and it is the skid steer type. Besides the Kubota bucket it works without issue on a inexpensive pallet fork attachment I have.

After experiencing the QA first hand, I would recommend anyone buying a FEL to consider the QA a manditory option even if you do not have an immediate need.

What was your source for the blank plates. Thanks!

That is some of the best advice I've seen here on TBN.

Thanks guys.
I was concerned the Kubota portion of the coupler was weak and non standard.
It seems that they have improved are are pretty strong.

Thanks!

The only coupler Kubota ever had fit problems with was the one on the L48, other than that they've been flawless.

Have you had a chance to look at the Versa Daptor at Jari USA, Home of the Jari Sickle Mower

What good is that going to do him? You state it is designed specifically for BX series. The OP has an L series.

And the very first bunch on the LA853 or what ever came on the L30 series. There is a 10$ shim and spring kit to fix it.

Aaargh! You are absolutely right. The Jari USA products are designed for the BX Series. Time for another cup of coffee - maybe that will sharpen my reading skills a bit!

Thanks for the replies. I have an ATI bucket that I just welded a Bradco adapter to the bucket.

I wanted to make sure that the Kubota attach would work and was beefy

enough to work especially when back dragging.

It sounds good.

Many Thanks !
