Good you are cautious and asking questions. To the Kubota tractor is usually British. The connecting nipple in your drawing maybe British to NPT sourced from your local dealer. A good hydraulic shop has helped me many times. Takes an experienced fitter often with test pieces tell some apart...

https://skidpro.com/skid-steer-attachments/grapples/log-grapple/ Similar. Smart Grapple was great design by-pass grapple. Close to zero opening. The gimbal allow easy placement around logs, saplings, or posts. Could carry logs completely off the ground. Built by a forester for forestry...

Had a SSQA Smart Grapple logging grapple. Modified to fit cat2 3pt also. 12K hydraulic winch. Good for carrying long ways thru gates and loading into back of trucks. Sold it several times what I paid to a local tree surgeon. Got county road contract. They love it! Work it most every job...

Kinda like a thumb. Once you use one you will never go back.

BXPanded customers praises the benefits of their ripper tooth. Think any low hp machine could benefit. B26 TLBs are popular rental and landscaping machines. Home Depot has two near me. Maybe little but surprisingly strong for their size. Skidsteers are great but are messy for landscaping...

I’ These import telescopic sway bars were common years ago eBay, amazon, weavers. Modified to fit both the M59 and B26(photo). Have held up to lots abuse from mowing and grading. Had to do a little welding for the B26. Change some hardware and bolts for the M59.

I would have paid $800 for a turn key tooth. Paid $925 for KX mini tooth. There is some economy of scale of a specialty item to consider. If it was easy there would be many in the market. A shank without a replaceable tooth could be $400 range? A better group price if there was some commitment...

Studying some comments… I think Kubota doesn’t sell ears for pin on buckets, only QA. Pin on ears would not be too hard to fabricate. You have an example to measure and duplicate. Check local dealers for pin on buckets thru sales not parts departments. There might be some in the weeds...

A grapple sure makes it easy on the back. From brush, limbs, logs or rocks. 54” wicked on our B26 is like an extension of your hand. Tines that touch instead of bypass can pick up a pencil or small rock to logs or small boulders. Ballast and wheel extensions are necessary for our small hillside...

Joy! Did what you wanted. Novel idea. Reasonable safe, maybe safer. Using what you got with some skill and imagination is rewarding. Well written explanation. The bent auger should be fixable. I would prefer hydraulic on a 3pt auger for the FEL Too many rocks and roots on my ground not to have...

I looked back on my receipts. Not normal receipt I guess since dealer ordered thru Wholegoods. Used to be able to google Kubota Wholegoods and see prices and optional equipment. Today I couldn’t find it. part# might be 870899? $240 for ears. Did make an adapter to use KX 40 quick attach...

Have blown three fuses in as many months. Shuts down tractor be leaves the dash lights. Restarts when replacing 5amp fuse. Top fuse on left. Confirm on fuse box lid of proper amp rating. Last time used some corrosion-X on a 10amp fuse to get her home. Nothing obvious for a short. Maybe one of...

Shelby is the same age and wonderful companion.

The loader control valve is located low, on the right side under the treadle pedal. Access by removing a sheet metal cover. That sheet metal cover doesn’t provide much protection and is often bent up on older machines. If you operate in the woods or brush, a stick or debris can can get to the...

Safer than standing in a bucket, pallet or most times a ladder. Built the safety bars just it case of critical lifts. One bar will easily hold the man basket with me in it jumping up and down with the tractor off and pressure completely relieved. Two bars add to safety factor. Don’t use them...

They are super handy. Looks like you got the bigger heavier version. Need to sure the door. Got to feel secure leaning over or grabbing rails for support. Lucky my wife is a good tractor operator. Added some mounting fixtures for chainsaw, polesaw and hooks for buckets. I made mine. Really...

Definitely look at the control cables. Mine need a shot of spray lube every once in a while at both ends.

My dealer use to give 15% off parts and labor from thanksgiving thru about February. Helped to keep the shop going in the slow season. I had bought 3rd function kits for both the B26 and M59. Was going to install myself. They come with a good instruction book. Figured most of a day on each as...

I’ve had no issues with Kubota 3rd functions on either tractor. Used rear remote for decades on older M5030 for FEL 3rd function. Had some benefits like more controllable clamping pressure and detents. Hard to beat electric buttons joy stick controls.
