New Style Kubota Boom Brush Cutter

My friend and his L5030 last week, I don't think this will sell well.

He only had bruised ribs/shoulder/knot on his head but his pride was bruised the worst.

The most difficult part was climbing up and out out of the door. He said he stood on the steering column and side of seat to get his shoulder against the door to push it open and then used a shovel he had in the cab to keep the door propped open.

Thank goodness he wasn't hurt any worse. Bank gave away on the front left tire, so right rear tire was off ground to start with. When he tried backing up with the diff lock on, the rear end slid and down into the ditch he went.

Scary stuff and good reminder.

It does have the easy access blade sharpening system option though so that it a plus.

the most amazing part, all it did was bent the mirror bracket on the cab corner

Poor guy. Im glad hes OK. It looks as though the FEL arms are high considering he was working on salvaging the initial oops.

Good point, why are the FEL arms so high?

 

[searcyfarms]

I think he has to raise them up to get them off the ground from dragging when he was trying to back up because when the front wheel when down the left arm was on the ground

I’m guessing he had them that high for better visibility and that’s what caused it to roll. The slope doesn’t look that bad.

 

[searcyfarms]

nope he had them down

Well they’re up in the picture and the tractor is on it’s side.
