I just finished building an adapter from the JCB 210S standard mount to SAE Skid Steer hitch. I still gotta paint it. Now I can use my forks, bale hugger, big bucket, tree shear, grapple, 3-point adapter and teleboom on this machine! Yahoo! It all turned out well after three plywood mockups to make sure it would all fit and function well before I started hacking up 3/4" plate and turning the bushings. I cut the radius for the hooks on a mill and trued up the edges of some of the plates on the mill as well. It takes a lot of time and small cuts to bore 2-3/8" holes but I wanted a nice fit for the hooks and it takes forever to grind out 3/4" plate smooth with a die grinder after I get through hacking it up with a torch. I'm not as steady as I used to be!
This machine (the JCB) is much more well suited to working in the woods with the grapple than the JX95 loader. I've also put protectors on the valve stems on the machine to prevent shearing them off on stobs and stuff. That'll ruin a whole day fixing the IMMEDIATE flat you can get.
I put my little 6' disk on the 3-point adapter on this skid steer adapter the other day and you can impart some serious down pressure to the thing while backing up. Tore the heck out of the garden. I'm going to add a skid steer plate to the Road Boss type maintainer so I can use it on the loaders as well. It'll make working in the tight spots easier and save my neck. I'll also be able to push from graded level rock and ground.
I did not like the JCB factory adapter because the roll back angle was too small and the roll forward was too large. I'd also still have to put the skid steer adapter on it and the dang thing is way over a GRAND if you can find one. It took some time and hunting and pecking to get the operating angles like I wanted it to fit but now it does.
Next big project is a post driver. It'll be a master piece. I refuse to drill and concrete one more post hole. I just bought steel for corrals and new show area brace panels and there are way over 200 posts to set of 4-1/2" down to 2-3/8". I plan on pounding them into the ground.
