Want to buy an adapter to go from global to SSQA. Local dealer wants $1,000 for 4000lbs capacity.
Found this one on Ebay for 1/3rd the price with 3500lbs capacity. I’m sure its inferior Chinese, but $700 less is a LOT less. maybe take a chance since I wont use much? Only need for snow plow.


Says “John Deere/global”

I thought these 2 were different. I though John Deere has a pin on style that is different from Global?
It looks like global, but sometimes pictures are not of the exact piece.

Found this discussion about the Global vs JD and someone said it's not the same. The spacing on the lower tabs is different.


Maybe if you contact the seller, they can provide you some measurements? Although, for that money, I think I would still get it, even if I had to re-weld the bottom tabs.

Shipped to me for $334 is so cheap it’s hard to resist, versus driving 100 miles and paying $1,000.
Sometimes THAT much savings is worth a shot, but still confused about fitting. From picture it looks same. Sent question to seller.

Looks indeed very close and it's common for the Euro quick attach to have quite a bit of wiggle room.

From Image Searches, and previous threads on here, this is John Deere:

This is Euro/Global:

We have Kubota SSQA on our Ford's, because I worked at Kubota and brought home the distorted ones. Make it fit, I did. In fact, made it to where it'd fit three tractors. I would never do something like that, I did too, yep I did.

The eBay item looks more like global to SSQA simply going off the bottom pins that JD seems to have for their setup in my opinion...

John Deere has 3 types of QA systems: Global, SSQA, and Hook & Pin. They also have adapters for Hook & Pin to SSQA. There may also be a Global to the others. The ebay Item you showed is Global to SSQA. I am reminded though of this caveat: These adapters tend to be quite heavy and take away a considerable amount of loader lift capacity.

I interpret this as "JD with the global" to SS. Doesn't JD offer the global in Europe?
That eBay picture sure looks it's global on the tractor side and not anything like the JD (US) that I've had or seen.

Technically, the proper name is Euro quick attach but for some reason, JD like to call it Global and create a whole lot of confusion.
