Is this price right for a 5500 4WD???

with the skid steer quick attach on the mahindra 6500 you can drive right up to the bucket, tilt back, and raise and get off the tractor and push down the release levers, and the bucket is on. It's a 1 minute 1 person job. Likewise if you have forks or a grapple (a grapple is essentially a bucket of some form with forks on the top that come down hydraulicly to secure a load.) you can hook up this easily as well.

Also if you get the skid steer version you open up your world to all kinds of skid steer attachments as well as tractor attachments.

Do you mean skid steer version of the QA or is that skid steer version of the loader? I'm new to this FEL stuff so again... pardon my ignorance.

He already has the machine rigged... I am assuming this is something that he can still do?

Thanks!

ALOT quicker, takes me 2 minutes to swap implements by myself and most of that's is gettin my big a** on and off the tractor........

My FEL QA is compatable with skid steer implements.

See Markham Welding website!

What do you call it on your site... I didn't see anything that is labeled Quick Attach. Also how much is it and is this something I can install?

EDIT: Okay ... this is not YOUR website... you are just pointing the site to me to see the various attachments.

What Tim said is right on.

Easier to use, and it is a very popular and common "attach". Makes for many more choices when buying additional attachments.

I pretty sure Mahindra's QA is skid steer compatable, meaning any attachment you can get for skid steer, you can get for your tractor!

there are two different types of quick attach, regular tractor loader and skid steer. I would highly recommend the skid steer. If the tractor is all ready he would need to order the skid steer quick attach and a skid steer quick attach bucket, or have the bucket modified at a local shop to be skid steer quick attach compatible. I would think this would be a small deal for a dealer to work out.

I'll attach a picture of my bucket with the skid steer quick attach. Like I said, for me it was a $300 upgrade.

My Kioti is skid steer compatable. The only difference I see is your uses 2 levers to detach and mine is a single lever.

Here is an action photo to wet your appetite for the 6500! I've been working on a lane to get to our backyard with it. Note the toothbar, that will be your next purchase /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.
