How is it using a bucket backwards? They sell skid steer quick attach adapters that are reversible. Thought about going that rout. Then I could use forks or hay Spears.

its on a Bobcat E32, I find it has its place, filling holes it moves the spoils to the hole not towards the machine, it digs away from machine so up against a wall or any object it is not pulling the spoils back in the hole or trench, built it for one job and it does get used quite a lot, it was designed to work with the X change setup on my machine

no pictures in use but this was painting once verified fit

If your keypad has the little "hook" like mine does (057-5) then you have a built-in scale option for your bucket,

I do have that but it says function not available or something like that. My kx040 had a scale function too but didnt work. Did you order that or it just came with it?

It must be an add on option. Mine doesn’t do anything either.

When I push mine it says not equipped with overload function.

Yea, mine was delivered without it enabled, although I would like to know what stuff weighs sometimes. But I did not really need it for the work I do with it. I'm curious to know what Kubota would charge to enable it though. Probably would have to take it to the dealership to have it plugged into their computer.

there must be something more than just the programming, they would need a load cell at the bucket pivot point otherwise all cylinders on boom, dipper and bucket would need transducers to calculate the mechanical advantage each pivot creates

if this load cell is on the bucket pivot it will read the same regardless where the other cylinders are sitting

If it takes all of that then it sounds more expensive than its worth for my usage. I know cotontop3 has one on his 057-4 maybe he is on this forum and can chime in.
