This is my latest purchase, a 30 year old Kubota, if I remember correctly a 345dt. The guy was selling it cheap as it does not meet current HSE regs. Hydraulic pipes are in the cab. It has a nice 4in1 bucket but the hydraulics are very basic, one has to wait for the linkage arms to raise before the loader will move. I have been told there is no economic way of changing this. It looks more than it's 35hp.

Mines a 25 hp John, nice tractor that, perfect for our job.

 

There'll be a dead easy way of altering the loader / 3 point issue but I'd need to scan round it to find it. Mine doesnt do that BTW, the loader works independant of the 3 point

If the pipes are in the cab a simple manual diverter valve should do the job, or a solenoid driven one operated by a switch. Vapormatic sell both.

The Kubota does have a diverter valve but is a bit of a pain to use as any implement on the rear then tends to sink.

My little Zetor. dual wheels, 4x4, front and rear linkage and pto. Front wheel steer but rotates about it's middle.

Stop valve on the rear lift return pipe? The cab might start looking like a plumbing showroom....

 

I like those little Czech alpines, that factory (Agrostroj?) is now US owned and selling essentially the same model under the 'Wisconsin' brand. Quite a bit cheaper than Italian equivalents.

Nice looking machine, any more info r.e prices, spec. etc...

I've worked a couple of bigger Zetors in forestry work and think they're underated. Tough, easy to fix and grippy in the woods. I likes 'em.:thumbup1:
