Kubota Quick Coupler

The ATI TACH-All would be great for the L series tractor. With the B series having a lift capacity of less than 1000lbs adding an ATI TACH-All would reduce its load capacity by 300 to 400 lbs. My dealer had both systems to show me. I went with the <font color=orange>Kubota</font color=orange> because of the weight difference and the only attachment I had to modify was my Curtis snow blade.

I'm glad yours works. I spent about a 1/2 hour (It seemed much longer. Time really doesn't fly when a piece of junk is wasting your time.) yesterday removing forks and attaching the bucket. I finally got smart and realized that if the attachment cylinders were fully retracted, the warpage of the quick attach was minimized.

I have a special made 10" pin that I use on the "bad" side. The end that sticks out is a smaller diameter than the normal pin size so I have something to hammer. I call it my Kubota *** remedy pin. I think I need to cut the connecting bar in two, stick the two sides back on the tractor, attach the bucket and weld the bar together slightly offset.

Something else on my to do list. Meanwhile I'll just hammer the bejesus out of it and continue to implore the gods
to give a certain welder the most severe case of "Roids" known to medical science. Whoever it was certainly gave
me a pain in the [censored].

Hi Dozernut,
Couple of questions for you about the TACH-ALL. Went to a Kubota dealer this morning to put a deposit on an L3010 with a Kubota FEL. I asked about the Kubota quick attach system, but the dealer REALLY did not want to put one on. After reading this thread, I'm kind of glad now. How much is the TACH-ALL? And what about the mounting plate to convert your old bucket? The shipping weight of the TACH-ALL itself is only 75 lbs, according to their web site, so are you really giving up 200 - 300 lbs of lift? How difficult is it to weld on the mounting plate to a Kubota bucket?

Thanks!

did you ever get the quick coupler for the Kubota; I have a b7800 w/ the LA 402 ; sounds like the ati is better but just too heavy as a total system

Holy zombie thread.

Is ten years a record?

I've had real old threads come up when I do a search on Google. Several of them I've almost replied to without thinking. I've been here awhile now so there's no excuse for me but I could see new people not realizing because they are not use to the form layout replying to real old threads.

BTW welcome to TBN erniev.

I'd still recommend the ATI (skidsteer style) over Kubota's proprietary quick connect, even if you sacrifice a few pounds.

I made my own. Bricks on pallet weigh 850lbs.
