7308 loader (bobcat style quik tach)

[CBox]

TOMLESCOEQUIP,
Sorry, I thought of something I forgot to mention. With my heavy duty 5' bucket attached, I can fill it heaping full of #73 stone and the tractor will only pick it up about chest high. I guess I really don't know if this is normal or not, because I have never experienced my tractor without the quick attach system.

None-the-less, I still love my tractor and the toys that go with it! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Hope that helps,

I went with the Tach-All system on my TC33D / 7308. I switch between forks and a bucket. I've found I use the forks 75% of the time. I'm very happy with this setup and I think it was well worth the cost because my tractor is now much more versatile. It's also a huge safety improvement since bulky things that don't fit in the bucket (like logs) can be carried in a stable fashion close to the ground (keeping the CG low). I haven't noticed and reduction in lift capacity, so it a minor loss if any. I highly recommend this setup.

The local NH dealer quoted me $505 for the QA device to fit the 7308. That was his list & NO discount was offered me. Is this what I can expect or is there a better deal available ??

I paid $529 for the Tach-All brand adaptor, $650 for Bradco forks, and $630 for a bucket. You can modify your current bucket with a plate, but I just got a bob-cat style bucket. You can spend less on forks than I did, but the ones I got are good quality.
