Anyone got any advice (or horror stories) about converting an older LA463 loader (on an L2800) to a SSQA instead of "pin-on"? I've got one, with a 3rd function and a welded on "grapple" on the bucket, but would like to have the option to use a "real" brush grapple. Right now, clearing 20 acres, adding another 14 to the mix on Thursday, and I'd like to be able to use a grapple more effectively than I can't with a bucket I can't "see through". I've priced the "adapters" at around $850, and looked at one that's $525, (plus about $325 shipping, and even my math skills come out to $850 there too). I can pick up the grapple I want about 90 miles away for $1500, but they're all "SSQA" attachment, and if I'm going to do any "conversion" I'd rather add flexibility too, but spending over 1/2 the price of the grapple for the "mount" seems kind of unreasonable. I thought about fabbing an adapter myself, but I just don't have the time.
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
