I was wondering if anyone has went and converted there FEL with a permanently fastened bucket to a skid-steer quick attach. I will probably have the dealer or thought about taking my tractor to a local metal fabrication shop and build one. I'm really hoping to be able to use the existing bucket and will probably add a second set of auxiliary hydraulics to possibly run a grapple eventually.
The tractor is a kubota L2500 with a LB 400 loader. Been hoping there is a bolt on attachment for the loader and was going to weld an adapter plate on the bucket. I've had no problem finding the weld on adapter for the bucket but been having some difficulty finding the attachment adapter.
It doesn't look to be too difficult of a project. Just punch the pins that the bucket and arms connect and torch off the brackets and put the adapter on but not sure if additional bracing or such is required.
