Thanks for answering the question! Unfortunately I was unaware of them not using OEM until the tractor was delivered. I did ask when the dropped it off but was told it was as good or better. The main reason I wanted to ask about this is so others would not be deceived like me. It does have a quick coupler on the front of the loader it’s just hard to see it in the video. I love the tractor just would have been nice for them to be straight up about it. I have learned to do my own research and not to just go with what your family, friends or dealership recommends. My mistake! I will say the Kubota community is amazing! Thanks again Brandt

Still might be something to continue to look into... does it say in the paperwork about it having an OEM loader or not or what details are given? It's hard to go by word of mouth anymore, but something in writing can be enough to have something different. Who knows, that loader may be good enough for whatever you need it for in its lifetime... only thing I could see a potential issue is if you decide to resell it and it has an offbrand loader on it with not much information about it (unlike other 3rd party loaders like Miller, Koyker, or Westendorf).

Is it possible that this was a supply chain result? With everything coming from overseas stuck on a boat in Los Angeles, perhaps the dealer was only able to source those items. If they tried to pawn the loader off as good or better than OEM, I would be downright angry though. Very rarely is something better than OEM, and then usually it sacrifices one area to better another.

I have an honest question as a Kubota salesman. Did you demand that the price was lower, or mention that you could get a cheaper off shore brand? I have had customers demand that I needed to "match a price" of something they saw on line, something like a rototiller. If price is all they are worried about and will not take my advice on "getting what you pay for", then yes they are getting a junk Chinese tiller. However if the dealer never talked about loader options and never discussed the fact you would be getting an off shore loader then I am not impressed by them. That third function looks terrible and compared to the Kubota kit it is way harder to use. Our dealership will only sell OEM loaders. But I am saving my judgement on if its the dealers fault based on whether you made the "cheapest price" the main issue.

I have a Kubota l2501 hydrostat drive that I purchased in 2017. I purchased it already set up with the third valve function kit from the dealer, and I have never regretted it. I love how I can raise and lower the boom while simultaneously curling, and then also opening and closing the grapple. I got my grapple from everything attachments, and it is well sized to the machine.

After yrs of frustration with local kubota dealer, messicks had me straightened out in minutes with a phone call and a parts order. Cant recommend them enough. Thanks from northern Vermont

Adding a loader that is not from the OEM manufacturer is fine on a new tractor. What is concerning, is if the purchaser was not informed about the fact. As others have said if tractor was used and already had the loader the dealer is simply selling a used piece of equipment. If the buyer was mislead I would expect that Kubota would take issue with the dealer ship, as the dealership is damaging KUBOTA’s reputation.

Yep. I learned the hard way also. Told my dealer that he knew more about the box blade and rock rake than I did so deliver with the tractor what was appropriate. He low balled both implements and the quick attach. The root rake is garbage. The box blade does not cover my tire tracks. Argh! But live and learn. Now I am specific but still consider options.

Thanks for this Video never would have guessed!

Ansung are branded as Howard loaders here in Aus and I can tell you from a parts point of view they are a pain in the ass. I highly recommend the Kubota branded loaders.

I made the mistake of buying an L2501 with a pin on bucket. I ended up changing it out for the QA system.My dealer also sold me R-1 tires, which I regret, and if I get enough work this year, I will swap out for R-14 tires. The cost of the rims is the killer.Your parts department told me what to get, so thank you for that. I also installed front and rear hydraulics using Summit electric over hydraulic valves. I did this before I found a proliferation of Summit kits. I still saved a lot of money by buying the parts and setting it up myself.

We purchased a CaseIH tractor with a KMW loader because at the time the OEM loaders were backordered and given the market at this time they might have put the Ansung loader on if the factory loader would have taken longer to get. Hard to say.

I think in the video the loader may be a skid steer quick attach, because I thought I saw ssqa Handles on it. However it sounds like the dealer may not have explained to him what he had. To me that isn't ethical. Our family has recently struck a deal on a rops Grand L 3560 LE from a smaller dealership with two stores near our property in Western Arkansas. With the savings on the LE model we are having the Kubota OEM third function installed. Many thanks to Neil on going over the difference between the LE and regular version. We just don't need those features for our applications but we do need a third function for what our needs are. One thing that we couldn't get is the R14 tires the owner came into the salesman's office after he did some research and told us that Kubota can't get them yet on the Grand L series. The tractor is already in but the loader won't come in until early spring. It is worth the wait because they ordered it with the stronger 800 series loader. The owner said that they prefer to order that loader because it is better matched to what the Grand L 3560 can do. I agree and it is worth pay the extra to move to the R4 tires and the heavier loader. More later on what a larger Kubota dealer tried to do and lost our business.

Liked this explanation very good message and answer!

I know that our local kubota dealer was having issues getting loaders for the 2501s when Covid hit. I noticed those same loaders and some from westendorf on the smaller tractors. I asked a salesman what the issue was and he said those were the only loaders they could get at the moment!

Good video and educational 👍🏻

Just when I thought I had seen and heard it all this video comes up. I am shocked a Kubota dealer would pull this.

Non OEM components on a used machine is one thing... Aftermarket loader on a new machine is another matter. I would not have accepted that tractor. I had a very specific list of requirements when I ordered my L4060 from Messicks in 2016, which were delivered exactly as ordered. They did recommend a change in the ssqa plow I selected, which was a wise change due to implement weight vs loader capacity.

hi Neal, i noticed, the loader looks like a John Deere where it attaches to the tractor ( looks like John Deere uses the same company ? ) but painted orange, , the bucket is not a 4 in 1, there is no skid steer quick attach ( so why get a third function ) , the third function is lever controll valve operated, third function hose lines going down toward the bucket are looped ( im guessing to shorten them cos thair not custom made lines to fit properly on that loader ? ), the hoses going up to third function are hanging out the side where a branch could rip them off without guards.

I was ready to purchase a Ansung loader for my MX had I not found the Kubota OEM loader at a dealer that was over stocked & the new MX model required a revised Kubota loader model. Also the Kubota dealer was willing to delete the bucket, the Ansung is a package, no separation of components. I have multiple skidsteer QA buckets for other tractors. At resale, the tractor retains higher value W/ OEM attachments , but difficult to ignore $1,000. loader cost Difference. At the price of used tractors currently, the buyer who scoffs at the loader brand will be told to simply get lost.

I have the Ansung backhoe on my L2501 and very pleased! It was considerably less money. I have probably 200 hours on it so far. I did know it was not a Kubota unit before purchasing.

yeah looks like they got him pretty good. Yeah, I’ve learned you just do go the a dealer without doing your home work. You’ll get screwed! Now I was hoping that dealer will disclose to their customers that they’re not using OEM parts, just for the sake of clarity

if something happens to that loader- say you bend a hydraulic ram- where do you get parts for it? in 20 years when say one of the skid-steer quick coupler arms gets bent, where are the replacement parts then? that's one thing I've found amazing about Kubota, I've bought several 20-40+ year old Kubota's and could go to my dealer and get almost any part i needed.

Someone definitely didn't do much research before buying. That is clearly not a Kubota loader and the valve is not the standard Kubota one either. That 3rd function kit also looks like hell.

I have an L3901 with and Ansung loader. I bought it over a year ago. The money I saved was the price of a 5ft Land Pride rotary cutter. I had to do a little fiddling to get a third function kit installed, but I do not regret the choice at all. I saved a lot of money, and I have a tractor that fits my needs. If I had to buy all over again, I would still buy the Ansung loader. I wouldn't be too quick to poo-poo the Ansung equipment. I was not misled by the dealer though and I was fully aware that the loader was not a Kubota brand.

The Kubota MX5200 we purchased last year has a Kubota front end loader and a Kubota 4 in 1 bucket along with a Kubota third function kit. This is a bit unusual in Australia as many Kubota tractors have loaders made by local manufacturers.

Australian made loaders seem to be as good as OEM ones in that for some brands they are OEM. Challenge is another local brand of loaders that seem to be pretty good.

Technically the loader is an attachment and isn't part of the base tractor...a lot of people don't know this, because 99% of all tractors on the lot have a loader attached to them...people just assume...it is deceiving in its presentation...I'd be curious to see the sale sheet where they list out all the parts...my kubota dealer itemized every single item I bought...since, well, there are several different loaders, buckets, etc available even from kubota

I remember the old days when no one offered much in OEM loaders Unless it was a IH tractor or deere were the only 2 oems that offered it but 90% of the tractors they might have sold all had different loaders since most dealers all sold a few shortlines like Farmhand, Woods, GB, Westendorf , Koyker , Landpride , Miller, and it was not odd to see IH loaders on other brands of tractor in my area . Tractor loaders being OEM did not take off til the 1990s i would say

good video Neil....

One dealership tried seven ways to Sunday to get me to buy the 2610 I told him four different times I was not interested in the 2610 he continued. I called Messick's in Pennsylvania they were absolutely outstanding explain to him what I was looking for what I wanted two weeks later I went and picked up my tractor. This was a big purchase for my small farm. Messick's was great to deal with. They didn't try to sell me something I didn't want and even though I'm sure there's folks to spend a heck a lot more money than I do at their dealerships they treated me with respect and the customer service was great.

I have the Ansung loader (mine is SSQA though) and it has zerks everywhere.

I find it odd that Neil didn't mention product availability shortages as a possibility for why the selling dealer used an Ansung loader. It's possible that Kubota shipped the dealer several tractors without loaders and the dealer opted to install this loader because Kubota said it might be 6 months or more before they have a loader to put on. I agree, OEM is preferred, but I've heard good things about Ansung and this might be the case.

Those teraforce grapples are pretty nice. But definitely too heavy for a small 2 frame. The 60 is much better for a large l or mx. (Source worked at a kubita dealer that sold terraforce. And they really weren't cheep)

When I bought my L4701HST, I was somewhat educated, but didn't fully understand the third function and rear remotes. I asked the dealer if I should add those, and they said "No, you don't need them". I very much wish I had known better and told them I wanted them. I could have rolled that into the financing and saved the cost and time of taking it back to the dealer to have them installed. I haven't done that yet, and I'm considering installing them myself (I have a fair idea what's involved at this point). I don't know if the dealer thinks I would have balked at the cost they would have added, actually believed I didn't need them, or what. I don't think they misled me, but I don't think they fully explored how I planned to use it (for instance, grapples were never brought up).

My dealer told me the same thing, but I just bought a BX series Kubota, so there's really nothing that I'd have on my BX that would need the 3rd function or rear remotes. The 3rd function might be ok if they built a grapple for them that doesn't weigh a ton. I don't have a snow blower or front blade so the 3rd function for angling the blade or adjusting the chute on a blower isn't anything I'll ever need to worry about either. So, in my case my dealer was right, I don't need any of that stuff.

There can be wisdom in salesmen talking buyers down from spending more . . . but also ignorance and arrogance. At the same time, there's a huge gap between the tractor enthusiasts, fanatics, and simply experienced owners and the typical dealership. It is common for salesmen to not know, or more likely pretend not to know, what a potential customer is talking about when an option is a little harder to get or means the shop has to get involved. An example I ran into was R14 tires at a JD dealership, just before they were coming down JD's pipeline everywhere at JD. I got them, no biggie, at a Kubota dealer.

In my opinion, Brandt has a bad dealer. I wonder how Kubota feels about that.

I noticed the dudes speech a little slurred !! Lol , maybe he was hitting a little grandpas secret sauce before hitting record ! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Maybe not a kubota loader

Can't blame a dealer when rookie owners are obsessed with price shopping, always comparing a top tier brand with second tier tractors and attachments. In this case I am more disappointed with your viewer's friends and family who either did not know or bothered to explain the false savings. You cannot treat a tractor purchase like you were buying an F150.

You live and learn!

Never get a loader or backhoe on a new tractor that is not OE. I can understand if you have an old used tractor that you need a loader or backhoe that is not available from the tractor manufacturer but those to items are way too tractor specific. Besides, (Tractor Mike pointed this out) if there is a problem with the loader or backhoe, the manufacturer will blame the tractor and the tractor manufacturer will blame the leader or backhoe manufacturer. Other implements i(including Grapples) are not going to be that big of problem from a 3rd party source but not loader and backhoes. BTW that 3rd valve looks like a total sh-- show. Neal I question the judgment of Brandt. Looks like he got his tractor from a bad used car lot.

Or maybe the dealer was trying to give the buyer the price he wanted. Did the buyer specify an OEM loader? Did the buyer specify the type of 3rd function control? Don't forget, we are only getting one side of the story.

That's not the right loader
