Let's see your Kubota

Ahhhh very good..... makes sense. So do you plug into the rear and put it on detent?

Yes. The supply hose is permanently routed to the rear and the return is hard connected to the sump. I knew I was getting this cutter before I ordered the tractor so I ordered it with all 3 rear SCVs for convenience.

So my new to me L48 (900 hours) was too heavy for my 1/2 ton truck, I needed a cheap dually, thinking outside the box i drug home this scissor lift truck. very low miles (73,000) and very heavy. I put the L48 to work stripping it down. The scissor lift weighed 4200lbs, the bed another 3,000lbs. I have replaced both of these with a cut down or bobbed flatbed about 2,000lbs. She is not fast but pulls and handles the weight of the tractor with no problem. the GVWR of this truck is 15k!

That's cool. How much was it? Is it gas 5.7 or diesel 6.2?

Cheap, $1800 for the truck drove it home. I scraped the lift for $240 and sold the utility bed for $1500. So now it cost me $60.
Paid $800 for the flat bed, and another $400 for new brakes, water pump, oil change, hitch and a few odds and ends.
I'm all in for about $1300.:thumbsup: 73,000 miles and A/C.

It has a 454 gas motor, turbo 400 with overdrive. Dana 80 rear axle with 4.63 gears, 19.5 wheels its classed as a ton 1/2
