Mike,
The loader would accept the quick attach.
But you would need a new bucket,or modify the original bucket for the quick attach to fit it.

Thanks for the info, Vince. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

One more question about QA attachments...With the bucket, it looks like you can just drive up to it, pick it up and can use it right away.

True? Or do you have to turn the handles at the top of the QA?

Mike,
I asked about this when I called ATI to inquire about the Tach-All. You can use your existing NH bucket but, as I understand it, you have to gring off the standard attachments and have the Tach-All plate (I think about $200) welded to the bucket.

The answer to the second question is you have to get off the tractor to lock the bucket (or whatever attachment you are using) in place. Similarly, you must manually unlock before removing. Very simple.

This was my dealers 1st experience with the ATI products and he is very impressed. I can thank the folks at TBN for making me aware of them.

What was the price of just the loader part of the Q-T?

The Tach-All was $502.00

I've been using a ATI Tach ALL on my 2120 for a number of years. It was added after the tractor was 8-9 years old. The standard mounts on the bucket were cut off and a mounting plate welded on. I think I have about 5 attachments that I now share between the 2120 and the standard Quick Attach on theTN. The Tach-All works great although sometimes a crow bar comes in handy if you're not on level ground.

bmac, nice looking setup you have there. I am wondering about that rear remote setup. I installed my first and only set of remotes myself but I did follow the directions quite carefully. My lever is right next to the 3-point lever where yours is in the very outside slot leaving the center slot empty. Did they give you an explanatin why they did it this way? I don't think that is right, but I could be wrong.

Here is a link to one of my previous posts on the subject
Where can I safely lift from?

Here is another of my posts with some good pictures
Problem solved

I have attached a picture from the "Problem Solved" post that shows the lever for the first set of rear remotes going into the second (middle) slot on the fender. With your lever for the first set of remotes going into the third (outer) slot I don't see how you can add the second set of remotes and have the lever go through the second (middle) slot.

Spencer,
Man, what a timely post. You don't know how much I appreciate your comments and picture. I noticed that the the rear remote lever was exceedingly difficult to move as it rubs tightly against the inner wall of the slot. I never considered that it might be in the WRONG slot as I didn't think there would have been enough flex in the controller arm to deviate that much. But it seems as though you have solved a major dilemma for me. I was actually going to ask our fellow TBNers for their thought on this and how best to fix it. But lo and behold, you jumped in before I ever got around to posting. YOU DA MAN! Thanks.

Bruce, I am glad to help. If you read my two previous posts you noticed that my first lever was incorrectly manufactured. I probably could have bent it enough to make it work but I wanted a whole new lever from NH. I would suggest you go the same route and request a whole new lever. They probably put it into the third slot because it too was manufactured wrong and it fit better in the third slot than the second. My fear is that they will just bend the heck out of it to get it into the second slot for you and then you may have problems later down the road when you go to add the second remote kit. As you can see it the photo I posted there is not a lot of room for error on the alignment of the levers. So if they bend it to clear the first lever and to fit into the second slot it may interfere with the third lever if that is ever added. Just make sure that they make it right.

By the way if you are up to taking that cover off underneath the fender I would love to see a photo showing the postition of the levers as they are now.

Spencer,
I am at my office now so I can't go look to see what might be involved in removing the cover. If its just a couple of screws, no problem. Could do that this weekend. If I have to remove the rear wheel - well, that might be more than I need to get involved with right now.

I'm still waiting for my backhoe to come in. When it does, my dealer will come pick up the tractor to install it. I will have him fix this lever then.
