Front loader LA463

[Rosohatica]

Hi, I have an opporrunity to buy lightly used front loader LA463 for my Kubota L3200. Attached find an image. Cost with transport door to door would be $3800. Is that a good opportunity or you would rather pass? At the moment I dont have particular need for it but people keep saying it is one of the most useful attachements for the tractor so it sounds as a good long term investment which keeps the value of the money in these big inflation times. Would like to hear your thoughts.

You also need the tractor mounting kit (subframe) and control valve to go with what is pictured.

That looks better and $3800 would be an excellent price for the complete package. You will also need the hydrauluc outlet block and hoses for the tractor. I cant tell how much of that is included with the valve.

That a really good deal, I'd jump on it!

Buy before someone else buys it. Used loaders for sale are rare and one in great shape is even more rare.

Yeah, the guy said he has 2 more inquiries and that I should decide by Friday.

I was also planning to add rear hydraulic outlet valves for attachments that use hydraulic. Is there an advantage in having front loader with some of similar valves? Does it make the rear hydraulic connections any easier. Sorry if the question is stupid, I know nothing about this.

You can add rear remotes with or without the loader.

For factory remotes there is no difference

For aftermarket remotes you must have that outlet block. With a a loader the remotes are fed from the PB port on the loader valve. Without they are feed directly off the block. The only difference is maybe 2' in the length of one hose.

Thanks Dan, I am sure I will have some extra questions when I will be at it. I made a reservation and I think this loader will soon be mine !
