L3010 FEL Options

[Crowbota]

First post. I have been to the end of the internet and back and couldn't find what I was after, cause I hate redundant posts as much as anyone else. So if you know where the answer is please send me that direction.

Issue: Looking for an FEL, and this would be my first experience buying/owing one. All previous tractor experience has been with non-FEL builds, and this is both the newest one and my first Kubota.

Question: Is an LA513 directly compatible with the L3010? Fella kinda local has a LA513 for sale, which looks really close to the stock LA481 (that I can't find). It also came off a L3130, which has very similar specs to the L3010.

I am hesitant to burn the fuel for no good reason and was hoping someone might have some experience with this scenario.

Open to recommendations/pointers. I am an experienced shade tree mechanic, but this is a new endeavor for me. I have ready the sticky and do intend to call the used FEL post # next week. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm guessing not. The LA513 was designed for the Grand L30 series machines. The LA481 or LA482 are the factory loaders designed for the L3010. They are identical in performance, but the 482 has a different front frame mount (presumably a product improvement).
Another option would be a Woods Dual 165 Loader. This is what's on my L3010. It's similar to the Kubota loaders, but has slightly larger cylinders and more lift capacity.

You can get to

Kubota Tractor Corporation - Illustrated Parts List

- K-PAD - Parts Lists - Illustrated Parts Lists - diagrams

apps.kubotausa.com

and search for your tractor model then somewhere on the left side is something called OPTIONS. Look there and you’ll see a list of molded numBerks that fit your tractor.

I think you can also search for the loader model number LA513 and find a list of tractors that it fits onto but I am not certain of that process.

(edit- left side was right side)

It's not really the loader that's the issue it's the subframe that's the issue.
The frame changed between the two models.
Lots of hard work to change that around.

A deceased friend had an L3010HST.
His wife had me service it out before she sold it.
Of course,I removed the FEL for the service.
I have a good memory,and I recall it having an LA463 loader.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Thank you gentlemen. Gonna put a little time into the kubota site and call about a woods to price out options. Think y'all likely saved me a bit of time. If I am able to verify via schematics I will post it just for closure at least.

Dug through the site and "according to kubota" the LA481 is the only one made for that model.

The second method works also, just type in LA513 in the model # box, then hit the Option Model dropdown and there they are, all that it was made for. Bummer this 3010 is so picky, that LA513 was too good to be true.
