No dealings with those, but we've sold the custom QA Adapter by WR Long for YEARS!! It looks more like a more traditional, OEM design, which is found on most newer machines.

That sure is a nice looking grapple on a ugly loader!! The owner of that tractor should be ashamed! :laughing:

The adapter works great though! Takes about 15 minutes or less to install and well worth every penny!

I done a conversion last year on a 7308 loader to SSQAit had the factory ford old school quick attach system. Got my kit from TITAN attachments. here is what i found with my experience doing the type of conversion i did. The ford quick attach system had a round top bar that hooked under a lip on the bucket or forks or whatever you had for that loader that fit that system only. The titan kit i bought had 2 plates and a cross bar (See titan attachments website) how it worked is you welded the SSQA to the flat plates on the front of the Loader just below the Round top bar. the problem with this was the SSQA handles would not work as they got caught/hit on the top bar and even after my modifying them you still got a good hand/finger pinching every time you used them. Summary to this story, You can find cheaper SSQA systems to put on your loader to convert. But the system like you are looking at is best, take whatever you got off and pin on the new SSQA on it's worth the cost and welding time....now once you do that!.....fire up the torch and welder and then get ready to do some serious cutting and welding to your bucket or pallet forks or hay spear to make it SSQA compatible with SSQA Plates......!..... What i would do if i done it again, buy the pin on like you are looking at, sell my bucket, forks, and hay spear and buy new skid steer compatible attachments for it....may try to find me a ford guy who has a pin on loader and sell him the whole package to make his into the old style ford quick attach. if you already have SSQA attachments. that's great just try to sell the old stuff and recoup as much as you can of the new parts cost. just my 2 cents here....:2cents:

Thanks for the replies guys. Nwut my bucket is currently a pin on with no quick attach system what so ever and is in rough shape. A previous owner used this tractor to clean his feed lot so the cutting edge is worn badly and the bucket is somewhat bent in the middle as well. So morel to that story is it defintiely wouldnt hurt my feelings to buy a new bucket to go with the plate and I could straighten and convert the old bucket if I wanted to down the road.

I had to laugh when I saw that picture. That has been one of the best upgrades I did to that tractor! Looks aside, that has been and still is a great little tractor! I have the forks on it now and the grapple on the Branson. Still haven't used the new bucket but it is there when I need it.

The interesting thing is I used that Kioti to move the bucket for the Branson and the adapter is too wide and will not latch. I guess Branson's hitch is just a little narrower than standard. Fits all other attachments just fine. The Branson tractor can hook to all the other attachments as well. Strange.

Yeah, that is odd. We've found that the "standard" for universal quick attach isn't always precisely standard.
There are variances among our four Kubota "universal" quick attach mounts.
