homemade SSQA adapter build pics

My problem with seeing is not the loader but rather the the tractor it's self. It does not have a slopped hood & being a 6 cylinder engine sticks out there a ways.

That is a nice build. How has it worked out and any more pictures?

Thank you. It worked out great. My favorite addition to the tractor. In typical fashion I outgrew the tractor and traded it in. Guy at the dealer thought it was a factory made piece. All the pics I have are in the link at the end of the first post.

So im assuming the new tractor came with a SSQA? Or will you be making another? GREAT JOB BTW

 

[JLwoodworks]

New tractor is already compatible. Now I just get to make attachments! Made a snow pusher last year

JLWoodworks---Do you use a 1/4' or 3/8" backing plate for attachments? I'm thinking of making a couple of things skid steer adaptable but not sure which to go with.

 

[JLwoodworks]

I've never actually bought one. I've made everything from scratch. It really depends on the attachment. Where the stress points are etc.

Nice work... I actually posted a question regarding making vs purchasing the ssqa. I guess I should have looked a little more first. I think I will tackle it. How did the forks work on your 855? I have a Kubota L2250, similar size. Seems like they'd be handy.

BTW, awesome idea for the firewood bins. I assume that's just hog or cattle panel around the pallets. I'm gonna have to make some of those.

They have the latch boxes made that you can buy, but none of them suited my application exactly. Plus the challenge is fun.
Thanks I'm very happy with the bins. Just the 16' x 50" cattle fence from tractor supply. 20ga metal angle screwed to the pallet to weld the fence to.
