It would be nice to have the phone number of the big cheese in Kubota's tech dept. I've e-mailed Kubota with no replies. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gifI would still want to buy the B3030 if I knew they were working on new motor mounts or some other fix to the vibrations.
Neil, do you think that this will be a fix just for new tractors on the assembly line or a retro fit for the others as well? Please let us know if you find out more.

I can't say for certian, but I would guess it would be a retro fit.
The whole setup (equipment and installation) came to about $1,750 plus about $325 for the teeth, which definitely work well with the grapple.
The more I use it, the happier I am that spent the money. I was mowing this evening and found three decent size limbs (10-20 ft long) that had fallen in my field. I picked each one up and hauled it to the burn pile without ever getting off the tractor. I had a smile a mile wide the whole time.

Nope, instead we opted for a diverter on the curl/uncurl. Not only did this eliminate needing the additional rear remote, but it also made it easy to make it all controllable from the existing joystick (with the button added). See pics
