Has anyone seen or built a skid steer carrier that attaches to the standard JD bucket attachment points? I think that could be very useful for when you find that perfect 'skid steer' attachment.
JD pallet fork attachment equivalent?

I built an adapter to the mini-skid-steer plate used on Toro Dingo and other similar walk-behind mini-loaders.
The attachments for those machines are a good match for my little JD 4100 and are readily available for rental.
I have used a trencher, tree-auger, and vibratory-plow on the adapter and it worked great. Only drawback is having to run the trencher and plow while driving in reverse. I plan to make my adapter also fit on the three-point in the rear as well for next time I need to use those attachments.
Full-sized skid-steer attachments would be too heavy and require too much hydraulic flow for my little tractor.

We sell a lot of forks from a company called Horst Welding, they are a Canadien company that builds tons of attachments for all sorts of FEL mounts. Horst Welding
Look thru their Loader Attachment section, you will find lots of toys!

I bought the Rankin 1200lb pallet forks just last week. They are mighty handy. Here's the link to their site:

Re: Deere Quik-Change to Skid-Steer adapters:
JD now has one ($400 MSRP) that works with 300CX/400X series loaders and possibly the 430/460 (I haven't determined that yet.)
"SKID STEER ATTACHMENT CARRIER OPTION
An optional skid steer carrier is available to utilize skid steer attachments."
ATI is another source - definitely fits the older 430/460.

Dave4410: Good link. Rankin page says they only distribute to NW--Did you buy out west and have shipped to East Coast?
Dutch: Could you post the weight and price of the Horst 1200 lb. Light Duty Pallet Fork? It sounds like the framework is wide enough to adapt to a 410 loader mount. Thanks
