Front-End Loader Best adapter to convert FEL to quick hitch?

[Stever00]

What is best way to convert an older 4 pin bucket loader to a quick attach loader. Seen one made by WR Long. They are rather expensive. This is a Bushhog brand loader on 3930 NH.

You could always buy the Titan "build it yourself" kit. That's what I got, though I haven't gotten around to actually building it yet. In the end it'll be exactly what I want for a LOT less money than anything commercially available/bolt-on.

EverythingAttachments has the pin on QH adapter (probably the WR Long you saw) and Titan brand are the only ones I've seen short of building your own.

This may be more heavy duty than you need, first one I have seen with adjustable rollback: Universal Skid Steer Hitch Adapter w/3 Position Rollback 8297

When I had a bush hog loader, I found that Bush Hog made an adapter to fit that loader. Might try that.

I used a Kubota SSQA adapter on my L3710 when I did it. It was nice to be able to bolt on and go. It was around 500 bucks and I felt it was money well spent.

At the Farm Show, there were a couple of vendors selling QA units for different companies... I don't recall the company name. Not much help but there are others that sell QA...

I have converted 3 FEL loaders using the titan . I did not do the welding myself but I removed the brackets from existing bucket myself. Titan is least expensive option. I considered the Washburn for the last tractor IH, for simplicity, but IH 2200 spacing between loader arms- too narrow for inside adapter bracket. Washburn = 2-1/2 x $ Titan. Reusing kubota bucket brackets not worth the effort, I'd buy new Tommahawk bucket instead. Inexpensive! Fabricating 2 pair of brackets for Titan is not difficult.

Try this place, Skid Steer Attachment Depot: Blanks and Mounts Archives - Skid Steer Attachment Depot I got my 48" grapple from them, $800 normally, $700 on sale, see pic below).

The other good news is that they aren't all that far from you (SE Hsv).

Good luck!

I highly recommend the W.R. Long Pin on Tractor Loader Bucket to Universal Quick Attach Adapter. I ordered from Everything Attachments. It took all of 15 minutes to install, perfect fit.
