It\'s HERE!! YIPPEE..

Well almost here. borrowed a trailer from my sister and brother-in-laws' neighor and went and got it. I got it on monday afternoon. been having fun with it. can't bring it all the way home yet as I'm waiting on the tiller and backhoe with 18 inch bucket to get in. should be in at the end of this week or next monday I'm told. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Also couldn't borrow the trailer for that long.

So today I got home from from leaving my tractor /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif and started finishing up getting my trailor ready for the road. I'm redesigning the hitch so that I will have a tilt bed trailor. The trailor that I borrowed was tilt bed and worked slick. should get road ready by tommorrow night.

I will post more pictures when I get home.

Hey Congrats! It won't be long now, you'll be tearing it up!
Keep in mind for the future that a quick attach plate is available from ATI and Don can tell you the other company, I can't remember in case you want to add one for quick attach buckets and forks etc.

Re: It\'s HERE!! YIPPEE..

kiotijohn, I've looked into the QA bucket but was quoted somewhere between $650 and $800. Seems a bit steep to me. for that price I figured that I could make my own and still come out ahead. My Dealer has a set of used forks that I will pick up when I go back for the BH and tiller.

I figure that I can carefully cut the loader arm bracket off of the bucket and then modifie from there. Heck I have plenty of scrap laying around and I sure like to tinker. It will also give me something to post for everyone here. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif plus pictures.

I'm stilling pinching myself to make sure this is not a dream. course it will feel better when I get it home. Mark

Oh yeah, you probably can if you're handy with welding and fabrication, should be a walk in the park!
You're right, the prices are not inexpensive, and lots of other people have made QA plates for their tractors.
Enjoy the glow man.

Congratulations! The CK30HST was my prime candidate until I ran into the DK45. Like you, I can't wait until I get to work with mine.
