Hey all, was just curious if anybody knows if there is any company out there that makes an aftermarket bolt on leveler bar for the loader of say a bbq 2370 or 2380.

I love my kabota tractor but hate the fact that they don’t use a leveling bar. It’s so easy to do and doesn’t cost much at all in material so I really wish they woulda added one from the factory or at least sold a leveling kit seperatly that you could buy.

If nobody knows of where I could buy one please let me know! Otherwise I’ll just have to make one from scratch which I don’t think will be too hard as they are very simplistic.

Thanks guys!

Leveling bar? For the kUbota?

Does the new 2380 not have the sticker on the right side of the bucket? I know mine does (2370) But I also know that the B2301 does NOT have any indicator.

I am sure as you know the term - level indicator is somewhat a misnomer, basically LEVEL is a term being completely horizontal to earth. What the indicator really means and measures is a theoretical plane that the wheels form when against any surface - and the indicator simply means the bottom of the bucket is PARALLEL to that plane.

but there are a many of tubes, rods and stickers out there that are homemade and rather ingeniously created.

I know all about the sticker and the flat steel plate Welded to the top of the bucket but I don’t like that, I would put up with it tho. But I would MUCH rather have a steel rod leveler that is either marked or bent where the bar goes through an eye-hole like on the John Deere 1 series tractors.. I just feel it’s a much better way to see where level is at your bucket, it takes all the guess work out of it and no standing up in your seat to try and see how level the sticker looks when you have bad eyes.. this is why I ask.

There's an indicator available for the 80 series. May be useable on earlier series. Not sure of that though.

Part #BX2411
Your link didn’t work but I’ll try and search the part number. I have a LA340 loader on my 2370 so the leveler part number you were talking about shouldn’t be a problem bolting to my loader so long as it’s the type I was talking about.

Thanks for the info man.

What is needed is a proximity indicator. A device that would sense the position of the tractor then indicate what adjustments need to be made to the bucket to align it with that position.
Or perhaps just a bit of experience would do the same...:D

$65 is what I saw it for. For me it would be worth it not even to have to bother with the hassle of making one, cuz if you don’t find a good way to attach it then it’s gonna want to viberate off and/or come out of adjustment all the time, plus I always liked the OEM looks.

I’d have no problem paying $65-70 for it but that’s just me. If I can’t find one tho I will def be making one as your right, it’s not extremely difficult to occomplish.

Anybody have a picture of this (Part#BX2411) or possibly even a picture of it on a loader so I can see what it looks like?

Thanks a ton guys you’ve been very helpful.

I know full size loaders or high lifts have a similar function. The one I use for the town has an auto leveler function when you push the stick all the way to the side it will auto level the loader for you. Pretty cool. It is a 2013 John Deere high lift. Cant remember for the life of my what model # tho
