I am in search of a loader for my Kubota L2900. After digging thru the internet it seems it needs a LA480 FEL. I am finding numerous threads on different sources saying this is a hard item to come by. I have post out on Facebook and have joined this forum in hopes of locating one. I have called the Kubota dealership but they informed me they don't manufacture anything for tractors as old as mine. If anyone has one for sale or knows of a fit for a aftermarket loader that would be compatible i would consider this as well.

So after calling my local woods dealer he told me he didn't believe that woods was making fel any longer. I wasn't able to find anything on there website regarding woods fel either. He told me to look at westendorf loaders, i have filled out a "fit form" since my model tractor didn't show up as something they had a loader for yet. Waiting on a response back now.
So after doing some calling around i was referred to a company called westendorf. After chatting with them and explaining to them my situation it seems i need either the TA160 or TA-170. Difference being the 160 can lift about 300 more lbs. They are supposed to be sending me two quotes for both model loaders including everything i should need for this to be a turn key project other than me mounting the loader to my tractor, which i will do. Will update yal with the numbers when i get them. Just wanted to share with anyone who might need the info.
Their price may be more than the value of the tractor. Guessing 5-6k for everything.

Yes @Kennyd4110 is probably right, on these tractors it's almost cheaper to sell your tractor and buy one with a loader already attached.
Sad that Woods quit making loaders, they made some well built loaders.

You are correct. My quote i received back from westendorf for the two different style loaders they offer was $10,860 and $9,558. This was with shipping included. At that point it would make more sense to sell the tractor and buy one with a front end loader.

I knew Westendorf was not cheap, but WOW.
