I inquired with ATI Corp (preseeder.com) about their products in relation to my 4100 and 410 loader. The response I got was that they used to make both an adapter and a permanent quick-attach, but discontinued the permanent (pin-on) quick-tach. The adapter was much more popular because nobody wants to mess around changing their OEM JD bucket to skid-steer mount if they don't have to. I would agree.
I wish I could find a dealer in my area who knows enough about ATI (preseeder) to sell me one at a good price.

Mr. Keeney,
Thanks for your interest in our Tach-All adapter for Deere 400-series loaders. I'll try to answer your questions.
1) The adapter pictured is a model QA-JD2 quick attach adapter which will fit John Deere 210, 410, 420, 430, & 460 loaders.
2) We only make a permanent quick attach for the John Deere 80 & 440 pin-type loaders. The permanent-mount model did not sell very well, so we disregarded any further models like it. Honestly, you are the first person to enquire about one in the last 4-5 years.
Customers like the fact that they don't need to convert their current Deere attachments to the skid steer mount...saving them hundreds of dollars.
3) We stock dozens of the weld-on plates, so you may order as many as you want.
4) We have sold to a number of dealers in your area, but no Deere dealers. The skid-steer compatible Tach-All quick attach concept has been gaining momentum VERY slowly with Deere dealers. We have only one or two Deere dealers stocking these in the whole country! However, 2004 sales look to be on a pace to be twice last year's.
5) The retail price is $575.00. It can be shipped via FedEx Ground for $45-50.
Just contact your Deere dealer of choice to order one. We are adding new dealers virtually every day. We are aware of Scharber & Sons of Long Lake, as well as a Polfus Implement store in Rosemount.
The QA-JD2 Tach-Alls are in stock and can go ground service.
Yours truly,
Jack Herr
