Thanks everyone, this is exactly the sort of information I was needing. Links to products have been very helpful as well. I'll post pictures of my loader valve and where the lines connect to the main body, just in case that helps. Any thoughts on whether to go with high dollar Parker flat...

Yes, it's got the LA 950 loader installed. I lean towards mechanical components whenever possible, so that advice lands on listening ears 😉. It's actually why I drove from s IN to eastern VA to buy this tractor, I wanted an older style diesel pre-common-rail. And the L50 series are known to...

I've got a '97 Kubota 4850, with EverClutch hydraulic shuttle shift. I love this tractor, but it has zero hydraulic remotes and no second function on the loader. I'd like to add both, but don't know enough about the details to know where to start. I want two sets of remotes to be able to run...

I've got just a small 60" bucket for the bobcat, but yes it'll go on the Kubota now so I can always use it quickly if I need it

Also, FWIW, this ATI adapter was 10 lbs heavier shipping weight than the one from asktractormike, and I think also the one from everything attachments. I thought that might be a sign that it's slightly thicker guage steel. I got it through Amazon, and it was free shipping. Got to me in just 2...

Okay, so I decided to play it safe in terms of proper load rating etc, and went with this adapter from ATI for $1000. Big thanks to Dick for tipping me off to this, and at a very good price compared to others! I'll still need to cut the brackets on the bucket if I want to have it as a QA, but...

That's interesting, I always assumed higher engine rpms meant higher fuel consumption, despite the physical demand from work being done. So if I were to use, say, a sicklebar mower that takes very little HP to run, on my oversized (for the implement) tractor, it wouldn't use significantly...

Okay, reviving this thread once again! I'm wondering about doing this mod to my ’97 L4850 EverClutch. The thing I use the most and expect to for the rest of the tractor or my life 😬 is a 62” Ibex flail mower, to shred brush and tree prunings. Its required HP is way lower than my tractor puts...

Thanks, I'm in southern Indiana USA

On second thought, I'd still need to cut my bucket brackets to put a female SSQA reciever on it unless I want to pull pins each time I change buckets

Unfortunately they don't have one for my LA950A. I would much prefer something like this that I don't have to cut on the original bucket at all. I'll try giving them a call and see if they can make one for me.

I got a really nice used L4850 with FEL last fall, and am totally loving this tractor! However, it has a pin-style loader bucket attachment, and I want to change this to a SSQA, so I can use my nice forks from my skid steer, as well as other attachments. I have a friend who is a union pipe...

Thanks you all! I can weld but am not the best. Only stick, I've got a trusty old red buzz box. Haven't done tig. But I have a friend who is a union steamfitter that can weld anything. I'm sure he'd be happy to help me out with this. I also happen to have the old bucket I had to cut off my...

Do you have the same tractor as I do?

I'm wanting to adapt my '97 fel to SSQA so I can use my forks etc from my Bobcat. I have a guy that pmed me on a FB group that says he fabs them and would make me one for $500 including shipping. That seems like a heck of a deal and I'm wondering if it's too good of a deal 😉. .. How important...
