Good vendor??

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger in an ATI SS adapter for my MF 1246 loader. These guys seem to have the best deal out there; $750, free shipping. Anyone have any experience with them? Better price somewhere else?

Thx!!

Nobody ever use these guys??

I've never bought from these guys but everything I hear is that they are ok. I've had an ATI Tach-All for about 15 years and love it. Beter than the New Holland or Kubota version. Your price is quite a bit less than I paid.

Not saying the ATI isnt a good unit...I've heard alot of good things about their products in general...BUT, now that pretty much every major MFG has an OEM SS QA version available on their loaders, its probably way cheaper to just run down to your MF Dealer and get one...

I bought a set of loader forks from Everything Attachments last year and am very happy with them. Excellent product, good price, they were very easy to deal with and provided fast low cost delivery to a local truck terminal.

I purchased a bottom plow from them and I had no problem at all. Very nice people to work with!

The ATI is a much better unit than the one that came from New Holland on my TN75D. This was an original important product for ATI where it is almost an after thought for the tractor manufactures.
My ATI is smooth as silk after 15 years. The New Holladn and Kubota ones I have used don't coem close to the ease of use. Just my opinion after using many of them.

I just bought one directly from ATI. I did not realize you could get it elsewhere. You may want to check with them directly. They were easy to work with and responsive to my questions. Don't forget to get the bolt kit needed to attach it to your arms, unless your original bolts will work. The ATI Tach All does not come with bolts.

Andy,
I Guess I'm spoiled with my JD version, which uses real forgings and such just like the real skid steer QA's...its not hard to see the difference between the Kubota/Mahindra/Cub Cadet, etc... versions and the JD...the ATI looked similar in build (Laser cut parts, etc) to the other OEM ones..so I put em in the same category...

The ATI, at least the one I have is much better than OEM. I don't see anything in your green picture to lead me to believe that it is any better than my ATI. It actually looks weaker than the one on my TN75. (Missing a substancial lower member)

I'll give you credit for the lack of a lower member..
Where I like mine better (or a real skid steer setup over the ATI/Kubota/etc.. is the pin design...
the JD uses a forging straight off the Skid Steer QA and ATI and the others use the "Fabricated Pin":
