Opico has added to its range for Kubota tractors with a new front linkage for the M128 series with a lift capacity of 2.5t available with or without PTO.
As with all Opico linkage ranges, the new Kubota front linkage has a heavy-duty PTO gearbox with its own oil supply, and an electro-hydraulic soft-start clutch to prevent snatching when the PTO is engaged.
An eccentric pin design gives a choice of three link arm working positions – fixed, semi-floating and fully floating – so the linkage can be set appropriately for the job. For attaching a front press, the fully-floating position allows the contours of the ground to be followed, while for a front weight block, putting the link arms into a fixed position prevents it bouncing around.
The Opico front linkage includes a vertical fold system where the arms can fold back vertically and very close to the tractor when not in use, giving added manoeuvrability and safety.
The bespoke design of Opico front linkages gives extra strength to the linkage and its simplicity means that there are fewer wearing parts than on other makes of linkage.
The price of the 2.5t linkage for the Kubota M128 tractor series is £2,621, or £5,622 with PTO. Typical delivery time when ordered through Opico is less than three weeks from order placement, and a fitting service is available costing from £250-550.
