Have you looked at Everything Attachments | Skid Steer Attachments, Tractor Attachments, 3 Point Hitch Attachments, and Farm Tractor Implements. I believe they sell them.

They are not hard to fab up yourself. I used to get them for about $60 bucks and it was not worth making one at that price, but lately they seem to be well over $100. I have made 6 or 7 attachments that use the std SS mount and the first few that were "store bought" will soon need beefing up, the top part of the mount is "opening" and getting loose. I just finished a dual blade road type grading blade and made the SS mount and the top pc. of metal that you slide up and under when attaching is at 45 deg. to the main plain of the mounting surface and the bottom angle that has the holes in it for the pins to lock it on is at 40 deg. Or just use your tractor as a jig and fab it up on your loader.

Check out ebay, they are from $75 & up. There are others out there too, just do a search for them. You can even get them as a left and/or a right side plate. Just pay attention to the thickness. I'm doing what RustyIron suggested and I'm fabing my own. Not to hard to do. This is my first try so it's not too pretty. Friend gave me a forklift carriage w/ 42" forks. The carriage is only 35" wide so I had to make a frame to attach it with. Just did the top bar of the QA component last night. I'll post pics in a thread soon.
Good luck finding what you want!!:)

I welded one to a set of stone forks and the other I haven't used yet. I may make a trailer hitch setup, not sure. Very happy with the plates. 5/16" steel also. Many are 1/4" for more $ than that.

Here's a couple of pics. It's not you're typical "plate" but it's what works best for my application on the dual blade road grader that is shown. I don't know how to show "links" but I made a couple of posts in Build it yourself I think called grader blade but I don't think those pics. will have much to do with the mounting plates. The easy way to do it is use youre loader as a jig. The one thing that I have learned is to NOT build it too tight, make it a little sloppy, most of the factory made attachments are that way. The ones that I made that are real tight, take some fooling with to get it to latch.:thumbsup:
