Quick attach set-up for KL1450

mefyj · Jan 13, 2011

Considering a quick attach system for my KL1450 FEL on my DK35. My buddy has a bob-cat with lot's of attachments that I could occasionally put to good use.

However I'm not certain which aftermarket unit may be best for me. I have seen the homemade versions on this site but that may be beyond my expertise & existing shop equipment. Don't want to loose anymore lifting capacity than necessary. However I have upgraded my cylinders to handle more curl than the OEM's.
I can easily do the conversions to my implements but not to the loader.
Any feedback would be appreciated.:thumbsup:

I may have one left over in my old inventory.
Would you be interested in it at $500 if I can find it?

mefyj,
Where did you get the cylinders to upgrade/increase your curl function.
I am interested in the same function.

Wallace,
Let me know if you can find it... I suspect that includes shipping to AZ!:thumbsup:

Skinnyman....
I just found a larger bore that had the same length stroke as the original's. They work a little slower but have more strength. Had to weld new ends but it was a simple exchange once you have access to the cylinders.

Sorry I don't have the style you need I have a different one.

I am looking for one for a 1470 loader. Any luck, or is it the same as the 1450? PM me if u can hook me up.

Lot's of searching has brought me to the point of building my own Quick Attach for the KL1450.

Will be less expensive than any aftermarket items I have found. Have a friend that will assist with some of the work and it will be a learning project for me.
This may be a good time to further assist my curl capacity. Seems like I remember reading where someone had adjusted the spacing on the bucket holes. However not certain if that will do much and may cause the loss of some motion.
Any further feedback will be appreciated.
