Kubota pin-type QA?

[Turtro]

Anyone have a photo of the Kubota pin-type QA system they can post?

I found good pictures of the ATI skidsteer QA, and want to compare them with
the Kabota Pin-type QA.

Thanks,
TT

no, but I'll tell you the Kubota QA is useless, if its what I'm thinking of - only applies to a few kubota things, not the whole world of skidsteer attachments. If you have that little use for bucket changing, probably best to just go with the standard attachment.

well useless is a little strong.... But the skid steer (ATI) version is much more versatile. Kubota makes forks for the pin on and you could have a grapple or snowplow custom built to match, but it will likely cost more than the skid steer version.

If your only desire is for forks and you already have the tractor, then the kubota version is more economical (versus welding an adapter plate to the bucket). If you are buying new, have the dealer delete the kubota bucket & replace with a skid steer version (ATI makes a nice one).

Here is a picture of RonJHall's kubota pin setup kubota coupler

fair enough, useless is a little strong.

But I do think it an ill advised purchase - you probably end up paying enough more for the implements that the ss QA would be cheaper - my 3k forks were $600, I'd be shocked if kubota's were under $1k. Having access to the SS QA market which is huge keeps the prices down.

??? good or bad, anyone here have a Grande L with this option, how
does it work for you?

I have a Quick Attach for the FEL... it uses two handles to drive two pins down into keepers. I think it is a dandy implement.... have bucket and hay spike for it.... am confused re the discussion..

Satisfied with it on my L3240HST... I say good.

I think people are confused because Kubota has 2 types of quick attach systems if I am correct.

On the B3030, the quick attach is a pin-type quick attach, is "specific" to Kubota, and requires you to buy Kubota implements.

On the Grand L's, I am pretty sure that a true skid-steer type QA is available directly from Kubota.

I got the ATI QA on my B3030. I have not really used it yet, since I don't have any implements for it yet, but I will be fixing that with a set of pallet forks in the not too distant future!

It looks like a very nice system, and is very easy to use, with the handle style actuation like what texasjohn mentioned...

Phil, nice shots of your tractor , thanks for sharing, I'm leaning more & more towards a L3240HST

that explains my cornfusion.. didn't know that there was anything but the Grand L type of Quick Attach, which I DO believe is Skid Steer compatible. At any rate, I love mine!
