Just curious if it is possible to get a dealer to install a larger loader on the L3901 than the LA525. I couldn't find any other combination while looking online and would like more lift on that size tractor.

If you've got the quick attachment option, I suspect you could hook up any QA bucket in the Kubota Lineup. Whether the rest of your front end loader arms and hydraulics are up to the task is a different story.

I have a L3800 with the LA525. It will lift just 1000 lbs. That's with the engine revved and pallet forks and you can lift the pallet like 1" and curled it back another inch or so then unload it. I'd love to have more lifting capacity.
According to the specs posted the LA765 will fit the L3800 also ??
But using this capacity will it blow out tires or twist and break something if you unloaded a 1400lb pallet with it ??

L3901 is a compact tractor. You will need to get into a Grand L or MX for more lift, I won't push a tractor for more than what the Kubota Engineers designed it take.

The 4701 is also and L and I suspect that is why the la765 is listed. Just trying to be cheap I guess and not jump to the 4701 ad that will require me to buy a larger trailer and some of my already owned attachments to be too small

When I took my tractor in for the 50hr check up. I had read on here about shimming the hyd pump. So I asked the service manager about that. He knew exactly what I ment and did it while it was there for the service.
And that is a big boulder you got there Teg. I know freight that I unload is weighted before shipping. And for me 1000 lbs is it for lifting. And most of the time when I do unload 1000 lbs the 'feel' of the tractor is that's really all I/it would want to handle.

That is correct. The LA525 is specifically designed for the L3301 and L3901 as they share the same frame, just vary in HP. The LA765 is only available on the L4701 as it is a completely different and heavier/stronger frame. It is a jump up, but part of the reason I went with the 4701 instead of a 3901. It gave me a little more wiggle room for strength.
