He uses an angle grinder to remove the problematic bent kickstand parts entirely, sacrificing the auto-stand feature to restore normal loader function. Useful for LA435/Swift-Tach owners fighting the same kickstand binding issue, not for spec or buying research.
Posted by the RGRTV channel, an owner-operator sharing a frustrated, hands-on fix from personal experience with his own tractor.
The owner says Kubota over-engineered the auto-stand kickstand, possibly copying other manufacturers, and it kept binding, bending bolts and popping loose during normal loader use.
Remove the keeper pin and snap ring with snap ring pliers, then use an angle grinder to cut off the bent kickstand part entirely, eliminating the binding.
Unclear. Kubota's online warranty page showed the loader wasn't covered, and another owner's dealer repaired a similar failure under warranty but coverage later expired.
You lose the auto-stand feature that lets the loader drop off without leaving the seat, but normal bucket rolling and loader function work fine.
