ATI quick tach adapter

jeff77indy · Jan 7, 2006

Any one installed one of these? How do you like it?
I am thinking about putting one on my 770B loader and adapting my bucket and buying a set of pallet forks to fit.
Thanks

What's more, it's not obvious how to find a local retailer. There isn't a 'find retailer' link on their page.

Jeff, I think you will love your quick-attach setup. It will slightly reduce your loader's breakout and lift, but it will make that loader a truly multiple use attachment. Because the adapter adds more weight and puts the bucket out 3" or 4" more, you lose some of your loader's power. That's the only drawback.

If you check with your New Holland dealer, he just might have a weld-on quick attach plate he can sell you to weld on your bucket. That way you only have to buy the quick-tach loader arm adapter from ATI. Weld-on quick attach plates are a pretty common thing. I think most dealers who sell skid steers would also sell the quick attach plates for around $200.

I put one on a IH 2250 loader a couple of years ago. Works great, welded ATI adapter on the bucket I had and added pallet forks and rock bucket. Take less than a minute to change. I can also rent skid loader attachments.

My new M9 didn't have a qd option so the dealer put on the ATI unit. Plenty strong, no complaits. As far as finding a dealer, most implement dealers sell ATI/Bradco or can get them.

qd mounts can be had pretty cheap on e-bay or Goggle for them. Lots of manufacturers.

I have had one for several years and could not imagine not having a quick tach on my tractor. Well worth the investment.

Thanks for the positive response.
I have contacted ATI and they have sent a list of local dealers, but the dealers did not seem interested. I am going to check with a new local Branson dealer to see if they offer ATI products.
We just made a skidsteer implement plate for my brothers hay forks so they would fit his new NH TN55.
I just need the loader plate.
I may see if ATI is at the Farm Machinery show in Louisville next month.

Jeff i don't know where grantsburg is but I do know that my new holland guy will ship anywhere. Do a google searh for topeka new holland, get the number and call and ask for Ralph Teal. He'll help or tell you where to go for the product if he doesn't have it. I've followed Ralph over the years to this now 3rd dealship. I don't think you'll go wrong, anyway it's another idea / source. And still in IN, just north up around Amish country.
