Are these all even mildly interchangable or just another example of completely unstandardized technology gone awry? Soon I will have a Bob-Tach. :licking:
Bob-Tach, Quick-Tach, Heart-A-Tach which is which?

You mean remote locking/unlocking? No, manual handles turned to lock implement in place. But how interchangable are they? For instance is a Universal Quick Attach set of forks able to couple with a Bob-Tach?

Bobtach on the tractor is same dimensions as skidsteer loader. In the skidsteer industry they standardized the bucket quick connect about 10 years ago so all buckets and attachments would physically lock on to each other companies equipment. The "Bobtach" is a trade mark name for the Bobcat version. Not all tractor companies use this standard bukcet connection yet, but with yours you can hook on to any wide variety of Skidloader attachments.

So if I go to (Temporarily blocked due to reports of company closure) and I buy the Bradco Compact Tractor Loader Pallet Forks with Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach I will have no problem hooking these up with my Bob-Tach? What about the Forks with JD Quick Attach? Will these be incompatible?

To answer your first question... Yes.
As for JD, they have their own style of QA. They keep talking about going to the Skid Steer QA, but to the best of my knowledge haven't yet.

Deere FEL can be purchased with the skid steer quick attach (that I assume is the Bob-tach). When I was looking, I decided I didn't want the extra weight and that the Deere QA suited me just fine. No skidsteer attachments that I want on the FEL. But the Deere 3720 on the lot at that time had the SS QA.

Yeah, I saw those. They look good. Nice and light, too. :thumbsup:
