So I was told that Branson is global/euro FEL quick attach. So I ordered a set of pallet forks for global euro, not even close to fitting. Does Branson use their own type of quick attach? I need to buy an adaptor to go to global/euro, and if I cant then Ill fabricate one.

Its a 2005 4720 with BL20 loader.

Thanks

Can you put a picture up of your quick attach on your Branson? I thought they used the skid steer quick attach?

Negative. Looks like euro attachment, but instead of the pins being offset from the hooks, they are inline

Ah, the old Ansung quick attach. Was setup just like a TAS loader quick attach but different dimensions. Know cause I sold both. Ottawa Mfg. still sells attachments for the Ansung quick attach. I have one bale spear at each location for it still. When asking any attachment supply company on it they either have it or never heard of it.

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/century-branson/224536-what-type-quick-attach.html This guy has the same one as me, so looks like I need to build an adaptor plate to go to Euro. What a pain in the ***
There are several available and look to be $650 plus shipping. I would contact a Branson dealer and see if the have anything. If worse came to worse. I would get a SSQA from Branson or third party, cut the stuff off the bucket and weld a SSQA plate on it. Good luck. I just put a SSQA on my ford 1920 and love it. Easy to go from forks to bucket. image-3870959399.jpg

I'm all about skid steer attachments, but I don't see myself actually using anything other than forks and a bucket. So if I just build one adaptor, I'm good to go. If I convert to SS, then I'm converting the tractor, the bucket, and the forks. Seems like too much.

I forgot you already bought the forks. Good luck with the adaptor.

That's what I did last weekend for about $200 in materials. There is a Branson BL20SSA adapter [appears new?] with damaged bucket for $1500.
