Front weights - LX2620

[BruceMc]

I have a new LX2620 that could use some additional weight on the front end. On my BX25 I welded up a weight that hung nicely off the front 'bumper' but with the design off the LX, I can't switch it over. That front plate/bumper is too recessed, and the loader arm cross member is located so that there isn't any clearance. Kubota makes a bracket for suitcase weights on the LX, but explicitly state you can only use it with the loader removed. Anyone come up with a better solution?

No.

I bought the front weight bracket and 5 weights for my similar B3350. As stated, neither the weights nor the bracket can be installed with the loader mounted.

FWIW, three weights can be mounted on the frame without the weight bracket on the B3350 (not the replacement LX 3310) but not sure about your LX 2620. In any event, front weight bracket or not, no front weights can be mounted with FEL in place.

Shouldn't need front weights with FEL in place.

Could you just pick up something heavy with the front end loader?

Unfortunately, like the BX, the front end of the LX is still light enough to lift the wheels sometimes when plowing. Not as bad as the BX, but it is a pain if you get too aggressive in float.
