Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any attachment. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts and pins after using the bucket for several
hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are
tight and secured.
Check hitch fit-up on a regular basis to ensure trash or
other objects have not loosened the hitch connection.
Replace worn, damaged, or missing bucket parts only
with genuine Land Pride parts.
Replace illegible or missing safety labels by obtaining
new labels from your Land Pride dealer. Refer to
on page 6 for installation instructions.

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the bucket when storing it for long periods and when
storing it at the end of a working season. This will help
ensure that the unit is ready for use next time you
hook-up to it.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the bucket. Scrape off compacted
dirt and then wash its surface thoroughly with a
garden hose.
2. Inspect bucket for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace when needed.
3. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Kubota dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
4. Replace all damaged or missing guards & decals.
5. Store bucket on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer bucket life.
6. Do not allow children to play on or around the stored
bucket.
