Swift-Tach delete.

I took this garbage off and installed the regular legs on the LA535 on my LX2620. What a cheesy system! The brackets had so miluch play the bolts would catch and bend the support pins for the legs. Yeah I could have shimmed it but I hated the setup. You can see where the bolt was hitting in between the two pins in the first picture. The Swift-Tach system is a total waste of money.

I had to look up what that system does, so I am not familiar with it.

Kinda looks cool in the Messicks video I watched.

My 2501 has a more of a "manual style" removal system, but I rarely take mine off.

How you you take your loader off now? And is your new way superior to "shimming" the Swift-Tach?

Ironic, Yesterday I was contemplating taking off the FEL "legs" off my non-Swift-Tatch (standard) LA535 because I can't ever see a reason to take the loader off.

Increase my lift capacity by 10 lbs. Lol.

Earlier tractors had no legs.... it was you and a couple young lads and it's off.

I am not saying the Swifty isn't good for those who need it. Never had it.

Be well. Tractor with a FEL.

I only deleted the support legs, and replaced them with the regular manual fold down ones. The rest of the system work OK, the release levers on the loader do rattle, but I will easily take care of that. I do not recommend anyone getting the Swift tax system it's not worth it it's more of a hassle than anything.

The regular legs weight almost nothing. The Swift catch kit weighs probably 20 lb or so. It's a junk system.

I went from this loader which takes the better part of a day to remove or install…

to this, which takes about 5 minutes.

Obviously, the R/I time for the Kubota is a MASSIVE improvement. It doesn’t have the Swif-tach or the single lever hydraulic disconnect. Kind of hard to believe either could be more than a nominal incremental improvement. Both appear to be overly complicated solutions looking for a problem. Maybe I just don’t know what I’m missing.

You're not missing a thing! I wish Mine didn't have it. And yes I paid extra for the crap. 100% not worth it. I normally don't get a bunch of add-ons because they tend to add problems, but I thought it would be a good idea this time. I know better. The rest of the tractor is amazing.
