Unless you're switching attachments every day, it's a waste of money & labor IMO. I can switch my pin-type bucket and forks attachment in 20-30 minutes, and I'm 83.
I plan out my work for the week and organize bucket work and forks work grouped so frequent changing is unnecessary.
BTW, the facebook page doesn't work properly for me; a phone is not a replacement for a movie camera IMO.

It allows you to use other attachments that don't have the same style.
You could buy a used attachment that is SSQA and just use it.

I wouldn't give up my SSQA. I switch between a bucket, forks and a grapple. I'm 75 and switch in a couple of minutes. And that's the long version for grapple hydraulic connections.

I agree. The same can be said for pin mount too. Since I have pin mount, it would be expensive to switch, then have to convert present attachments.

To each their own. Having tried both, I will never own a tractor without a SSQA.

I cheaped out and bought my tractor with a pin mount bucket figuring I wouldn;t have occasion to switch much. After grumbling about it for years, I finally decided to switch. My wife gave me the tractor side of the SSQA attachment for Christmas. I debated having the "ears" cut off my bucket and a SSQA plate welded on. Ended up just buying a new SSQA bucket and selling the old one.

If I'm not messing with hydraulic connections, I can easily make a swap in under a minute. Hooking up the hydraulics when swapping in my grapple doesn't add much time.

I do a lot of swapping in the winter, switching between my forestry grapple (getting logging done when the ground is frozen) and the bucket (for scraping ice off the driveway and other general purpose work). Messing with a pin-on swap in the really cold weather was a pain in the butt. Even in the summer, the convenience of the quick swap makes it so much easier to get jobs done efficiently.
