Excavator to skid-steer adapter (ala Rockhound Hookup)

[ctann]

Hi all,

I want to get an adapter for my mini excavator (Kubota TB135 with Tag quick-attach bucket connector), to enable me to use skid-steer implements. Unfotunately I waited too long to buy a "Rockhound Hookup". Does anyone know of a similar adapter? Fabrication is out of my league, although with a few pointers I might be able to find a local shop to fab one for me...

There are a couple of skid-steer attachments that I would really like to use with my TB135. A forklift is one, just for moving low pallets around (no high lifting), and a rock-rake is another. While there are a few implements that might hook up to the quick attach, I would rather buy standard skid-steer implements (who knows, I may wind up with a skid-steer at some point as well).

Thanks,
Chris.

Sorry I didn`t see your response at first, that is the plan to partner with them.
