I found a front loader bucket and box blade for my Kubota L285 for 1100, including shipping from PA. Has anyone done business with
James Tractor Spare Parts?

When you say "bucket" - you mean the sub frame and ALL the hydraulic works that MUST go with it?

James Tractor Spare Parts always declares to have the part you need. They are know as a "scam" on a Grasshopper forum I frequent. I'd be VERY cautious dealing with them. They show a tractor salvage yard which misleads folks.

You might ask them to send some specific pictures of the items. See if you receives picture of what you ask. Do not send any funds hoping you get what you think they have. From what I've seen I would only purchase from them if I was there and saw the item in person, have it on my trailer with a bill of sale, then pay.

Not sure where they claim to be. Freight alone to California would be close to $1100.00 . Run away as fast as you can. If I had a decent loader for your tractor I would ask a minimum$2500.00
