Euro/Global to Skid steer/SSQA adapter

[Hay Dude]

Want to buy an adapter to go from global to SSQA. Local dealer wants $1,000 for 4000lbs capacity.
Found this one on Ebay for 1/3rd the price with 3500lbs capacity. I’m sure its inferior Chinese, but $700 less is a LOT less. maybe take a chance since I wont use much? Only need for snow plow.

I thought these 2 were different. I though John Deere has a pin on style that is different from Global?
It looks like global, but sometimes pictures are not of the exact piece.

Found this discussion about the Global vs JD and someone said it's not the same. The spacing on the lower tabs is different.

Euro-Global vs John Deer Quick Attach Differences

I have a tractor that has a Euro-Global quick attach loader (actually I think they are better than the skid steer attaches). Can someone explain the difference between the Euro-Global and the John Deere Global systems? I have never messed with John Deeres. Do they have different loader systems...

Maybe if you contact the seller, they can provide you some measurements? Although, for that money, I think I would still get it, even if I had to re-weld the bottom tabs.

Shipped to me for $334 is so cheap it’s hard to resist, versus driving 100 miles and paying $1,000.
Sometimes THAT much savings is worth a shot, but still confused about fitting. From picture it looks same. Sent question to seller.

Looks indeed very close and it's common for the Euro quick attach to have quite a bit of wiggle room.

From Image Searches, and previous threads on here, this is John Deere:

This is Euro/Global:

We have Kubota SSQA on our Ford's, because I worked at Kubota and brought home the distorted ones. Make it fit, I did. In fact, made it to where it'd fit three tractors. I would never do something like that, I did too, yep I did.

The eBay item looks more like global to SSQA simply going off the bottom pins that JD seems to have for their setup in my opinion...

John Deere has 3 types of QA systems: Global, SSQA, and Hook & Pin. They also have adapters for Hook & Pin to SSQA. There may also be a Global to the others. The ebay Item you showed is Global to SSQA. I am reminded though of this caveat: These adapters tend to be quite heavy and take away a considerable amount of loader lift capacity.

I interpret this as "JD with the global" to SS. Doesn't JD offer the global in Europe?
That eBay picture sure looks it's global on the tractor side and not anything like the JD (US) that I've had or seen.

Technically, the proper name is Euro quick attach but for some reason, JD like to call it Global and create a whole lot of confusion.

Euro/global quick connects tend to be on larger equipment, I doubt the extra weight is a meaningful percentage of the loader capacity.

Likely as not "John Deere" is just stuck into the name as a keyword to show up in searches.

It weighs 140lbs. My loader will lift about 5000 so not much worry.

seller replied with a somewhat canned reply “It is John Deere Global”

I am ordering one.

Update: Supposed to be here 11/30-12/2

How much farther out will the attachment be with this kind of adapter? I worried about a blade,with the added 'arm' could be more prone to bending stuff if you hit something with it.
I looked into a whole new tool carrier for my loader frame.... about $1000.....

Legit concern that I have, too.
Looks to be about 10” deep.
For me it’s more of a temporary measure while I switch from skid steer to global.
I hope to have 2 Euro/global loader tractors and all E/G attachments soon.

This is more of a temporary measure to get me through that

 

[Hay Dude]

Arrived right away.
Feels a little “light”.
Seller said it weighed 142lbs.
Feels more like 100 lbs as I can easily lift it over my head
