Global Loader Attachment

lincmercguy · Jul 1, 2022

Is there a more common name for this? Searching for it doesn't seem to work. I know the skid steer quick connect is more common.

I'm looking for a good set of pallet forks with the global quick connect for a JD H240 loader. The local dealer wants $2k for Frontier. I'm in CO.

I don't see the option for the Global attachment, but maybe I just have to call them.

That is the best way to get the latest information.

"Global" is the most common term used to refer to this quick connect type, which is an ISO specification (ISO 23206.) "Euro" is often used to refer to this as well as quite a few of the European-based manufacturers use this quick attach type as well. I have seen some other terms used such as one local manufacturer using "worldwide" to refer to this, but whoever is using another term will generally also give "Euro," "global," or "ISO" somewhere in their description as well.

Just about any manufacturer offering attachments in anything other than only skid loader QA will have attachments available in Global as well as at least one of the three current JD pin-and-hook QA setups (JD100-400, JD500, JD600-700) depending on the size of the attachment. It is not very common to see the other QA setups such as the early JD240-265 QA, Westendorf QA, and Bush Hog QA.

The regional Deere dealer chain does offer Frontier loader attachments but if you simply ask for a loader attachment, they will sell you one made by a (very good) regional manufacturer unless either that manufacturer doesn't make the attachment you are asking for or you specifically ask for a Frontier-branded attachment. The regional manufacturer charges a little over a grand for a set of 4000# Global pallet forks which is why the Deere (and also the regional CNH dealers) use them instead of their own manufacturers' attachments.
