Always keep a "blank" SSQA faceplate on hand...

[Bansil]

So I grabbed a couple of these 1/4" plates for cheap (I can't buy the steel, cut it out ,bend it and weld it for the price I have paid between $95 and $119 shipped! Free to me.

So I needed to move the older chicken coop about 500 ft

I tack welded a piece of 1/4" angle iron on the front of it.

Then used a Piece of 3/16 tubing to spread the load out. A couple Ratchet straps and walla...

I will grind the tacks off and use this one today to make a custom rake.

These plates let you use the pivot point or real close, for maximum lift capacity

I don't see any QR's in the post.

OK, fixed it.

I bought a 1/2" SSQA plate for $155 for a custom attachment I designed. The owner of the fabrication shop told me he could not have made it for double the price.

It fit perfectly so no complaints. Of course it came from China. Here it is loading a bulk bag of firewood.

Lol...what would they be called I just went with Quick Release...stupid question is that qr code you posted actually one for the picture? I'm DOS/win3. Old

SSQA What is that?

SSQA What is that?

SSQA denotes Skid Steer Quick Attach. There are 2 distinct styles however, The standard SSQA and the Euro style SSQA that John Deere uses and they don't interchange either.

Here, SSQA stands for skid steer quick attach and it signifies that type of attachment design.

I take It you dont own forks?

 

[newbury]

OP -
in your tractors listing you list a "2024 Kubota B6201".
Is that a typo?

I'm starting a rumor he also doesn't own any spoons.

Few things are more fun than making tractor attachments. Last summer I made a drag out of a 1.5" angle iron shipping crate to respread the 3/4 rock on my barn/house yard. Put some 1" skids on 4 corners and a 2x6 back stop. 1' of rock falls out under the 4 angle iron blades and the backstop pulls the excess to the next low spot. Works okay, better than a rake and more precise than back dragging a bucket.

 

[Bansil]

I do but they attach to the bucket and I lose to much lifting capacity 4ft from pivot point.

Oops fixed thank you!

CSGM "The Skull" who was a Vietnam vet once told me while standing on a dock in Saudi that you always need to have a spork on you at all times...unlike a spoon...you can always use a spork to kill the enemy....and still eat ice cream.

I don't understand this idea that you couldn't kill a man with a spoon; it's just false.

That said, sporks are just better all around, so I'm not arguing with the advice.

some people don't realize loader lift capacity goes down as the height increases. his attachment can effectively lift more than pallet forks because his loader is much lower than it would be with pallet forks. assuming his attachment is the same weight as the pallet forks.

I like your chicken coop hefting setup.

Gotta say, though, as a clumsy operator, I'm afraid I'd drop the backhoe boom by accident, and bury myself in chicken flickings.
