How to Use a Compact Tractor Front Loader: Tips and Demonstration 

Thanks for watching. We have lots of tractor work videos in this playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLG5yS75HLzo3RVqEuA0f6IioXV6FtFhHW

Thanks for watching. Got a lot of hours on these Kubotas so just trying to help others with our videos. Still learning though!

Thank you. Here's a playlist of our tractor videos: ru-vid.com/group/PLG5yS75HLzo3RVqEuA0f6IioXV6FtFhHW

Thanks for watching. After owning a compact tractor for 15 years, I would say it's really hard to damage these machines. Here's our tractor playlist, you can see what we do with ours! ru-vid.com/group/PLG5yS75HLzo3RVqEuA0f6IioXV6FtFhHW .

Thanks for watching!

Thank you.....FELs are so handy!

Glad you enjoyed it! Here are some other tractor videos: ru-vid.com/group/PLG5yS75HLzo3RVqEuA0f6IioXV6FtFhHW

It's all I've ever had so it feels natural to me.

Amazing job as always!

Thanks again! Glad it helped....even if just a little bit.

Many ways to grade dirt, for sure!

I would lift the brush hog up so that's not a concern or issue, but if it flexes like I show in this video, then yes, you can do it.

@@PineyGroveHomestead I can do it as in its ok? or I can damage it.

thanks for watching

Sounds like the pile pushes in front of you instead of scooping up in the bucket because you don't have anything to stop it. That's more challenging. Get your bucket level with ground and get some speed as you head towards your pile. You will end up pushing the whole pile...then stop, and shovel it into the bucket. It might make more sense in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pxJtd79R1MA.html

Are you talking about those square arms hanging under the front boom? That's the kickstand for the loader when it's off.

@@PineyGroveHomestead No. I'm talking about the bucket curl cylinder extending back to the frame of the tractor, not stopping on the boom. This makes it extremely easy for the bucket to maintain the same angle to the ground as it goes up and down. Extremely helpful when using Forks. It also eliminates the possibility of dirt or Rock falling off the back of the bucket and landing on you or the tractor when it's all the way up. Some tractors have a very poor imitation of parallel linkage operation by tripping the bucket forward as a boom goes up to keep myself from falling off the back of the bucket. But it does not compensate for the boom going down because it does not roll the bucket back. I just starts dumping material on the ground. The biggest advantage to having parallel Lincoln's on the loader it's for using forks. Because no matter how high or how low the boom is the forks will stay at whatever position you put them in. For example, you can slide the forks into a pallet and lift it all the way up and it will stay at the same angle , even even when you put it all the way back down it will still stay at the same angle to the ground. This is a wonderful feature that is only on certain tractors. And like I mentioned earlier telehandlers that have the telescopic boom really need to have the parallel linkage but they have hydraulic parallel linkage not mechanical. Telehandlers have to maintain level when they're moving around on very rough ground and lifting a forklift load up to the 3rd or tth story of a building. The forks are kept level because of the hydraulic cylinder near the base of the boom. As the boom goes up at forces that cylinder one way in the hydraulic pressure is transferred to the curl cylinder up at the far end of the boom. The reverse happens when they lower the boom. As the boom is lowered, hydraulic pressure is transferred from the bottom cylinder to the too cylinder to keep the forks level. It really is an ingenious design! Mechanical parallel linkage is very similar on smaller tractors. I've noticed on some recent tractors they try to blend in that parallel Lincoln so it's hard to notice. For example, they designed it so the bucket linkage goes back to the boom and then follows it back to the frame of the tractor. A huge percentage of people don't even know about that unless they specifically ordered it that way. Or if they order a tractor with the material handling package on it. It cost a little more to building it that way but it's worth it . I will try to locate a picture to show you.

Some like it on the fender....I don't...it complicates the hydraulic system and they are prone to leak under the fender and you have to take the tire off to work on them.

@@PineyGroveHomestead pros and cons to both..and not a deal breaker either way..but access from that side is the reason they put them on the fender..I prefer it on the fender, but if it was on the loader arms I would have still bought my tractor.. treadle pedal is the deal breaker for me lol

what do you mean by blades?

I think he means a bolt on blade to the lip of the bucket. It’s a sacrificial piece and I believe the new 02s actually have the holes already in the bucket to do this. ​@@PineyGroveHomestead

@@thinde88 My friend Brock did a comparison. The factory edge is best: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ff8bNgs5QS0.html

You mean the L3901? Definitely not for sale...new ones are expensive!

We've owned 4 tractors like this and welded hooks in the same place every time. Never bent a bucket and we lift the rear tires off the ground pulling out posts.

okay

WHO CARES BRUCIE
