I followed your lead and compared the lower link pins between the L47, the grand L and the 4701. The L47 and the grand L both use the same pin. As you discovered the 4701 uses a different pin. I suspect that the 4701 pin is smaller in diameter because it also utilizes bushings on the tractor end...

I'm sorry, I never asked about the extendable links. They aren't even listed on my bill of sale. They required no modifications. Tomorrow I'll look at the arms and see if they are marked in any way. I suspect they are from a Grand L.

I like my box blade from Everything Attachments., however it does not have the hydraulic ripper attachment that you mention. Are you getting Top and Tilt on your 3PH? Now is the time. http://www.msattachments.com/grapples.html Mid State Attachments has a good selection of grapples with...

Kubota only offers standard draft links and turnbuckle stabilizers for the L47. Thanks to my dealer here is my L47 w/ extendable links and telescoping stabilizers.

Having had a grey market tractor myself (mine was running) I understand the price attraction. If it was free or almost free, I would consider it. Other than that I wouldn't walk away, I would run.

It's possible that your B26 was purchased as a tractor loader. If there are no signs that a backhoe was attached, that could be the case. I purchased a new L47 as a TL and added the B the following year. If you price out just a backhoe from Kubota you at least will know what your max cost...

Agree. I believe that lock is only there to prevent accidental operation of the loader. I once saw a photo of a rather large tractor that was pulling a trailer. I understand there was a child passenger in the cab who lowered the bucket while the tractor was traveling at road speed. The bucket...

On your size tractor I would prefer a plow with a frame mount rather than a loader mount. With a frame mount the blade is much closer to the front wheels so you are less likely to get pushed sideways. Sometimes loader mounts cause problems. FEL's aren't designed for side pressure and it isn't...

Interesting post. My best results have been with a blade that is hinged and hung by a chain. This allows the blade to follow the ground contour. The skid shoes can (better) control the blade because they don't have to hold up the blade plus the loader arms, etc. like they do when you use float...

I was on the fence between buying a similar model Bobcat or my L47. If you are doing mostly loader work skid steers are great. I still had mowing and 3PH tasks to do so I stayed with a tractor. Since I work alone most of the time, I find that I have to get off the machine to adjust slings etc...

Right now we're in a drought and there is only eight inches of water in the pond with the exception of one spot with is about the size of a small auto. This is nothing that has to be done, I would just like to take the opportunity to clean out and level the bottom as far as I can reach. If we...

I have a little backhoe work to do around my pond which will involve backing down and operating on a slope. Just wondering if anyone has an idea how steep is too steep. My biggest concern is starving the engine oil pump. I don't think there would be an issue but I figure an ounce of...

I originally bought my L47 as a tractor loader no backhoe. I do lots of loader work and I wanted a strong FEL in a compact size. I considered getting another skid steer, but I have some fields to mow too. I've been very happy with the FEL. After a few months I decided to get a backhoe...

I've owned a few different designed stump buckets. They are really designed for skid steers. Ag tractor loaders aren't sturdy enough. Another issue (when using a tractor) is the difficulty in seeing what you are doing. Someone directing really helps. I kept mine when I sold my skid steer and...

Would a SSQA plate like this solve your hose issue? http://www.msattachments.com/-77-tubing-quick-attach.html

I had a different misalignment problem with a BT1000b backhoe. I bought a new, in the crate BT1000b to put on my L47 TL. When I went to mount it to the tractor I found that the mounting pin holes were misaligned by about 1/4 inch. (You couldn't install the mounting pins in the backhoe even with...

I considered keeping my tractor and getting a mini ex. I would agree that a mini is superior to a backhoe in many ways. I decided on getting a L47 w/ 3ph, 3 rear remotes and backhoe to do everything I need. For a small machine the loader is great. We have another property that's 1/2 mile away...

The L47 does not come with a 3PH from the factory. The lift arms, stabilizers and top link are in an options package. When I bought mine, I wanted a 3PH, but not with the turnbuckle type stabilizers and fixed lower links. I prefer extendable pin type stabilizers and extendable lower links...

I never gave it much thought, but the back of my grapple is solid. On mine it's a structural component. I would think adding a relatively thin (1/16 inch ?) solid sheet to an open design, wouldn't add much more weight and it's not being called upon to be structural .
