ROPS model for L4560

rossibob · May 17, 2005

Looking for correct ROPS model number for use with L3710 tractor with L4560 BH with L4560A frame mount. Going to dealer in the morning but not confident they will know which one to order for me. FSL-42 is the model on my tractor now, but the subframe will not mount to this model. Thanks for all replies.

Bob,

I will check mine in the morning for a P/N. If need be I will contact the dealer in Texas who helped me to see if he can help.

Thanks, I did not think about asking earlier. I was in a fog after working on the tractor so long today.

Make sure you look up the coupon for a discount on Kubota's site. It saved me $50 on the one I ordered for my old B6000.

Thanks. With that I guess it will be free. My wife came outside about 8 tonight and asked why I was still taking things off my tractor instead of putting things on. I told her that it was not going very well and that I might have to replace the roll bar. To which she said HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO BE. I replied "Oh about fifth bucks. Thanks for your help. Now I will tell her it going to be free.

The wholegoods book shows two ROPS that are acceptable with the L4560 back hoe on your L3710. The SFL-42 and the SFL-F42. Hope this helps.

Bob,

There is a Kubota sticker on the ROPS that shows Model L1197C

There is also a metal tag from Full Vision the has the following:

Kubota Model Number MDL1197C
Full Vision Model Number 127-07081

Hope this helps,

Gary

I went to my dealer this morning and he said I would need model number L1197C. We ordered it and should have it in on Fri. I will keep you informed on how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed.

rossibob · May 18, 2005

Thats great because that is what we ordered this morning.

I'm sorry, I was looking on the wrong line in the book. The correct ROPS is in fact the L1197C.

Rebuilt two swing arm cylinders on the backhoe today. The second one only took about 1 hour. I wish I could say the same about the first one. I guess it always takes longer the first time you do anything like that. Expecting the new ROPS to arrive on Fri. It should be a big day getting it and backhoe all mounted to the tractor. Will post a picture of the finished project.

Bifocals will help that problem. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I hate to admit that but you are probably correct about the bifocals.

Sorry, I should have mentioned to you that it would be a LOT easier to reseal them with the BH mounted on the tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Job Complete!! I got the new ROPS today and got everything mounted. Attached is a picture of the completed job.

Opps, here is the picture.

Lookin' good! You are going to like the 4560. It's a good ol' backhoe. Nothing fancy, but it will do about anything you want. And the back end of that 3710 will never - repeat never - get light doing FEL work.

I find the BH works smoothly at 1600-1900 rpm. If you wind it up to higher speeds, the controls operate too fast for my level of skill.

GaryE · May 20, 2005

Nice job!

Grandad is correct, I find the 4560 works best around 1800 RPM's. I have yet to find anything I could not move / dig with it. I think you will be real happy with your purchase.

Well, I got out on the tractor on Sun. The backhoe was working very well to start. After about an hour I noticed that I had fluid coming from the two swing arm cylinders that I had just rebuilt. It may only be coming from one and just crossing over to the other through the hose that runs between them. ??? Soon after i noticed that the main lift for the backhoe kept sagging. I would have to keep pressure on the lift handle to keep it up. If I wanted to move the tractor, I had to put the transport locking pin in to keep it from dropping to the ground. I don't know if the problem is in the valve or in the cylinder. Any thoughts??? Rossi Bob
