Advice on lx3310

[Mukat]

I’m pricing out a LX3310 with the cab.

Im looking for advice on the option of the swift-tach loader. The option is the way to get the manifold with flat faced couplers And is supposed to let you disconnect loader from seat. I understand it won’t be as simple as staying In The seat with the cab, but thoughts on the value of this option? I think it’s about $700.

I’ve read forums to know that the flat faced elicits often a strong response one way or another.
I’ve have had pioneer couplings before and have had issues connecting them before so was leaning to the manifold with the lever as a mechanical advantage

thoughts?

Reading on here, the BX had issues leaking at the manifold. Maybe it has been fixed, I don’t know.

I have a new LX3310 and initially thought I wanted the Quick-Tach, but after seeing it on a LX I ran away from it. The hoses are routed way outside the loader and stick what seems like 3 feet up in the air. Good luck

Can you show a photo of how the hoses are routed on yours? Do they more follow the arms of the loader? Most every photo I’ve seen has the manifold on it.

I did not get that option, I initially thought I wanted it, but after seeing it, no thanks.

Click to enlarge the bottom (2) pics.... Also, how often are you going to be removing your FEL? And how long does it take to disconnect 4 couplers? 15 seconds? Top pic is my tractor with standard couplers. Bottom 2 pics are from the Kubota site. No way I wanted all that stuff hung off the side of my tractor exposed.....

Thanks a lot—that is very helpful.
I think I’m going to pass on that option as well. I’m not thinking I would take it off Enough to think it’s worth it

I think having a cab also negates the ability to use the swift tech as designed

I was told that the single lever hydraulic manifold is available with or without the Quick Tach FEL.
