I have a Kubota KX71-3 and I LOVE it! I'm a general contractor and use it for anything from small foundations to trenches, to grading, to *ahem* using it as a crane *ahem*. I've had a 500# breaker on the end and it handled it with ease. It came with a 12" bucket which is fine for trench work, but I would like to use a 24" bucket I have laying around...
The problem is that my machine has the quick attach system and the extra bucket is not. I was wondering if anyone had the machine specs for the quick attach system? I like how tight the original equipment fits and I'd like to get the 24" bucket to fit just as nicely - as possible. I can make a pattern and cut it out and weld and grind and weld and grind until it fits, but if someone had the specs say on CAD or as a PDF showing the designs that would be perfect! I've used my friend Google, but can't seem to find the designs. I know Kubota makes the "bucket hangers" because they are listed in their catalog, but since the buckets are made by Werk Brau I can't seem to find anyone who sells them...
Basically I'm looking hard to find the easy way. Can anyone help?
