Maybe tractorsmart.com ?

If you don't want to go to your local dealer, then definitely www.Tractorsmart.com is for your parts needs. Fast service, reasonable shipping and Ronnie knows what he is doing. You won't find a better source....

If the price is anywhere similar to what they cost on my B2910 (I was thinking of retrofitting them on my BX somehow) you best be sitting down when you look at the cost... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Like Junk said, if you don't have a local dealer you want to check with, tractorsmart is a good place to go... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Don't remember what tractor model that mine were for, but mine cost about $60.00.... This was in October 03. I got the part numbers from a post in this forum. These work great on the BX22 and I remember doing a short picture essay as to the cutting and modifications that are necessary.
6C070-65320 - $15.02@
6C070-65333 - $15.02@

did not get exact price because to many items for local dealer to look up at the time ,but the lift arms were $200.00 each not counting all the telescope parts ,he said quick guess was around 600 to 700 dollars ,so I would like to get a few prices just to check . he is not allways the best price around, most of the time he is the highest .my problem is that I run cat 1 and 2 implements , and cat 1 is 27 in. wide and cat 2 is 32in wide so quick hitch {speedco} will not help. there are not adjustable so I hope these telescope links will help. unless somebody has a different idea

Junkman,
Looking at that photo wouldnt it be fairly simple to make those? Not that the 60 bucks is outrageous.
Some time on the drill press but should be farly straight forward I would think. Or am I just missing it completly ? Maybe adding a heim joint on the tractor end for the angle ? Just thinking out loud

There is more to it than that which appears in the picture. One piece is a tube type channel, so it is more than drilling a few holes.

Yea, I did see that, what I was thinking after the fact is if switching between cat 1 and 2 items wouldnt those be the same width respectively. So you would need one set of holes for cat 1 and an other for cat 2 or do makers very the widths? I don't know enough to know you know /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I am still trying to get over the foam filled tires /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I believe the original poster was talking about extendable lower link arms (the main lower link arms themselves can be extended out a few inches to make it easier to hook up implements)

<font color="red"> YOUR RIGHT ! </font> But on the same note wouldnt the same idea be possible for the lower links. Yes I was on the wrong track /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif If they are 600 bones, that is a lot of money but safety is primary so I can easily understand why someone would not want to attempt modifying there own.

yes I was talking about extendable lower ling arms.I called tractor smart today, for anybody looking to upgrade if you bought each part for my m4900 it will cost $679.00 . but ron said that kubota came out with a factory upgrade kit ,he had to call kubota today to find out ,the upgrade kit is only $269.00. big difference.I hope this helps if anybody is looking to upgrade. kully

Wow! what a savings... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I'd jump on them for that price. I don't know how many times I've appreciated having them on my tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Never ordered anything from Tractorsmart, but your post makes me want to...very helpful guys there... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

ron had said that all the factorys in us were out of stock on the lower links untill around 4/1/05 so I will call him end of march to place order. will let you know how it works out . p/s big ,big savings sorry I could not place order now

 

[Junkman]

Orders are shipped in the order that they are received. If you order now, you will be at the top of the list. If you wait till April, you will be much further down the list..... especially now that every other owner knows how inexpensive they are. It is like trying to purchase a snowblower in December... they are all gone... In July, there are plenty in stock..
