Lx 3310 question. Anybody have suitcase weights directly on the frame up front or do you need a bracket first, then put the weights on that? It sure likes like 3 could hang on the frame now.. it has three holes drilled in the back of the frame just like the weights do to bolt them down. I’m gonna try to see if it will work this weekend.
I used suitcase weights on my B3350, since sold.
Despite the Operator's Manual clearing stating that 3 suitcase weights can be added to the front frame of a B3350 without a separate weight bracket, as is possible on the 2650, 2610, etc., this CANNOT be done because the hood is longer on the 4-cylinder version and the cross member with bolt holes necessary to secure the weights is missing. Have not checked any of the 4-cylinder LX versions but suggest that you do so.
Kubota offers a front weight bracket that accepts up to 5 front suitcase weights. This is the arrangement that I used on my B3350. Weights, bracket and hardware cost a bundle.
Despite how front weights are mounted, both weights and bracket must be removed to install a FEL. This was not a serious issue for me as I always remove FELs in the spring before installing mowers and do not remove and reinstall FELS until after mowing season. Accordingly, I remove/install front weights only twice each year, which is a bit of a PITA but manageable.
