ATI Quick Detach

Tractor_Addict · Jul 31, 2002

Have any of you guys heard of the ATI quick attach system for compact tractor loaders? That is the system I ordered for my loader. Any bobcat attachment will quick attach to this system. Sounds cool, but has anyone had a bad experience with it?

A quick attch loader is one thing I wish I had gotten with my original purchase. I am curious, is this a New Holland product? Was it expensive? What attachments are you planning on using? I wonder what the cost would be to retrofit it to the NH 7308 loader?

Actually, it uses the 7308 bucket mounts. There is no alteration of the loader at all. It cost me about $425.00, plus a different bucket than the New Holland 68" HD bucket. The bucket choices are incredible for the quick attach, because you can get any bucket made for a skidsteer. I got a super heavy duty 66" bucket. It is about 50 lbs. heavier than the 68" HD. There a bunch of skidsteer attachments that could work on the front of a compact tractor. The best part is it is not a proprietary system like John Deere. I just picked up a set of pallet forks, at auction, for $100. The sales guy let me try the ATI quick attach before I bought it. The bucket was 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.

Tractor Addict,

When you can, could you measure your tractor length with the loader off? I'm interested in seeing if I could fit my tractor in my shed without the bucket attached, but with the quick attach mount.

Thanks,
Dave

I believe Spencer (animated signature Spencer, not dealer Spencer200) has an ATI QD on his 33D. He's got several interesting posts about his attachments. I believe they are in the Attachments or Projects forums.

I've got the NH QD on my 40D. It is the universal type and works with skid steer attachments. No problems so far and I love it.

On edit- Oops. I see Spencer has Kasco brand. I believe some of the Kubota guys have an ATI brand QD.

I know this is late, but I have had an ATI on my 2120 for several years with no problems. I have the original Ford HD bucket with the female quick attach adapter welded on, Woods forks and "Stone Forks" and it takes me about 45 seconds to change implements. I wish I had them years ago. I have the Quick Attach loader on my TN75D and can interchange all attachments with no problem.

Andy,

My loader (32LA) is also quick attach. I was under the impression that this was a stock new holland product.
Exact match to bobcat. Very handy.
